    They are experienced and know what to look for. Also, for books like convention issues they get in early to shows or have per-arranged deals with vendors to get first look and pluck the best.

    The funniest part is you sold a couple at $9.99 and now you are undercutting your own sales at $9.50. Just a tip, when something sells at a price quickly, you then raise the price to test the market value. Not go the other way.

    Also, there boardies who get first crack at them for resale from JSC. Are they paying full retail price?
  4. ygogolak
    $10?

    What I'm saying is everything is a niche market now, for resale of course. There are still people that get pulls. But everyone else is hunting; strictly keys, completing runs, cover artist collectors, rare / obscure comics, variants, etc... It used to be you would buy keys or you would look for more issues of your favorite character(s).

    Diamond Previews are already treated as much. A cover image is all you get. Yes, it may be a niche market. But that is also the way run collectors are going. So, do you want to change or just be mad about it?
  7. ygogolak
    Yup, quality > quantity.

    Image properties are not setup to produce 12 issues a year. Many take scheduled breaks. You should know this.

    Kirby was a workhorse, no doubt. But depending on who you ask, his stories tended to suffer.

    I don't think you can charge someone more after the sale is completed. They could have sent you an invoice through PayPal though.
  11. ygogolak
    It could easily be had. The publishers just have to pay for it.

    You related the Spider-Man to Comic Shop News. You obviously didn't open the comic. I'm the one of the two of us that did. I assume it's very easy to track the type of stuff you are selling. Thing is, I can pluck these type of books for $1 and make a large profit because I follow the hobby.

    The "waitlist" means you are getting in their email system.

    Things are so much different now with cover artists. Like when Jack Kirby did all those covers AND interiors for Avengers starting at issue #9. He credited the interiors to Don Heck though. That was nice of him.

    Yes, he did NYX. Dell 'Otto, Hughes, Campbell, Mattina, even Skottie Young have done interiors in their past. Becoming almost strictly a cover artist means you have been recognized as bringing unique talent to comics. With that, I'm sure their prices increase. Although, I guess they could keep drawing interiors for a fraction of the price. That makes sense, right?

    "Guys like me", you mean the ones that still open and read comics? Yes my friend, a dying breed. Its not my fault that you don't have knowledge of what sells today.

    where have you been? Comic Shop News only has comic strips in it. This is a 5 page preview and it has the cover to Avenging #9 on the cover. In 2016 Preacher Preview 9.8 hit its high of $1,150. Also, you might want to check what Diamond Previews Jan. 2012 (Saga), Malibu Sun #13 (Spawn) and Diamond Previews March 1992 (Spawn) sell for.

    Diamond is not the printer. Anything ordered through them would go to them to be shipped. The only things that don't go through them are smaller independents that contract printing and ship them theirselves. They probably are not doing anything more than opening the box to confirm what's inside.
  20. ygogolak
    Retailers won't stop. Most are pre-sold, if they are good. So they just get them reprinted at no cost and ship when they have them. Marvel will need to stop allowing them.
  21. ygogolak
    It really is baffling. They must print them so cheap that they can reprint them and still make money.
  22. ygogolak
    This was how one of the other store variants came.
  23. ygogolak
    One already sold for $180, so nope.

    Baltimore City Bad Boy?
