Sold comics
Harambe variant (1 copy)
Price paid (including shipping) and how much you sold it for, accounting for selling fees.
Price Paid $33USD
Total after fees: $111usd
That's a pre-order, correct?
Correct
So you're saying that you bought the book on pre-order for $33. Meaning the seller does not have the book. That also means that you do not have the book in hand. Then you sold the book that the original seller does not even have yet to someone else? Is that correct?
So, Original Seller ---> Sold to you for $33 (but does not have the book) --> You (who does not have the book) then sold the book to someone else for $111.
Is that correct?
Almost the seller already has the comics and will ship out around nov 2nd and yes I don't have the comic on hand that's why it's a pre-order. As soon as I get it I will ship it to them should something happen I will give them a refund but the guy that purchased it knows how pre-orders work.
I hope that the person you purchased these 2 from is reputable.
I hope that person finds out about this "Pre-Sale" and undercuts him. Selling the books himself to the buyer. Won't be an issue since they are apparently not even shipping until November 2nd.
I do know this person and this is my first pre-sale I've tried. He said that they will be shipping and everything is still a go. Why are you treating me like I'm a bad guy? Stores do this all the time and I'm happy to try this.
Because you are pre-selling on top of another person's pre-sale. You are not a store. You are not a facilitator. You don't get to do a pre-sale. Why add in extra layers of uncertainty and potential problems. How about selling books you actually have instead of books you bought from someone else that they don't even have yet.
Regular people do this as well and yes it's a level of uncertainty but the person I've bought this from has lots of feedback and my comics that I have are listed there as well. Also his pre-sale ended as soon as the copies sold out which was about three days time I believe.

You don't like new books, yet you just tripled your money on one.
Older books which you prefer just netted you a tidy profit of .40 cents...and you're still defending that numbskull purchase.
True but you know one of my reasons for buying it and older books are something I'm comfortable with and they are more stable then newer comics with longer windows.
It seems like you have some knowledge about Archie Comics. Why don't you focus on those more than books you're unsure of?
I love archie comics but unless their keys the sit for a long time so I could buy some to see how it goes but there are a few boardies I would need to talk to.

I made 50 cents at the vending machine at work today
What was your initial investment, $35?
33USD shipped

MCS has a couple copies starting at $1.35.
Thanks. If it's the Betty & Me #16 that should move for you(price and condition will obviously factor in).
Are you able to give us a hint as to the other comic you're thinking about?You should find a store with decent back issue stock, even if its just 90s to present, and be buying up actual high grade cheap moderns for 6 dollars or less. If you don't live in close proximity to a decent lcs then browse the online stores and eBay. Look for poorly worded/advertised listings on eBay. This is a much better use of the odd 100 or 200 dollars than putting that money towards one or two slabs or restored books ffs. With your low amount of capital you want to be spreading that money around as much as you can and turning over books as quickly as possible.Hey, he spent $30+ to make .40 cents on the ASM pink variant. He showed us all and he knows what he's doing.
It's not the ideal amount I wanted to sell it for but since the opportunity presented itself I took it since I have my eye on another comic.
Yes. An Archie comic.
The betty and me 16 is the comic I already bought and have I'm talking about another archie comic.
That one is pretty hard to find
Ah my mistake I thought I was #44
There are three copies of #44 at MCS's website for $1.35 each. Wanna try again?
Yes I actually do. I meant to say archie's joke book #41 and 44

.40 cents is a bull's-eye?
After all his bragging about how it was a good buy and how he knew how to market it etc etc.
.40 cents.
Most people would see this as a learning experience...
Anyone know where I can buy a mid grade, restored semi key? Or perhaps a bridge or some swampland?
Yes 40 cents will be my profit after all that bragging because you know what? I sold it faster then I thought I would because someone wanted it. I also sold it for what I did because I saw another comic I want.
Do not mistake "want" for "pity"
I'm not and he's not who I'm talking about.
Nobody wanted that crappy book but you. You had some fantasy that the pink on the book would be largely ignored by collectors who would be too stupid to know it was defaced because you saw the true potential of the book and you knew how to market it. You suck at selling older books and should probably just stick to new books since the losses will probably be minimal.
Again I disagree. I'm not the only one that wanted to comic you can chose to believe me or not. Yes I admit at first I thought it was a undergraded comic but that's not the only reason I bought it. I bought it for the pink marker that it had on the cover. And I'm not a fan of newer books.
I can't believe someone besides you thought that was a great book to have. Oh...you bought it because of the pink marker. So, not only was that book undergraded but that freaking pink markers made that book a no-brainer to purchase? You're
That's fine and to me it was a no brainer to purchase even with all the defects.

Oh, I know. But I just recall you telling me you were going to get $60+ because you had a certain marketing strategy.
Most would say spending $30+ to make .40 cents would not be the best use of capital
That's when I was sure the grade was a 4.0/4.5 after the fact I said I would be happy making 5-15 profit in case you missed that.
Oh, I didn't miss that. I also didn't miss you saying how it was a "good deal".
Instead of ramming your head into a brick wall next time, why not listen to the good advice people are giving you here. I know not all of us are "pros", but some of the people here are pretty decent at flipping comics
Ok well you make everything look to your favor when you're speaking. I still think it's a good deal as that bat 189 is, they may not be asap flipable comics but they are keys and something that's not hyped.
Even after making .40 cents you still insist it was a good deal?
No. I meant that if I was patient it would be a good deal since it was on the cheap and it's a key but like I said I have my eye on other comic so the timing couldn't have been more perfect.
IT WAS NOT CHEAP!!! That's the point. You paid full retail for a low grade book with zero opportunity to flip. You just don't get it. Sad.
I've overpaid more than this in the past and yes it's retail but with patience I would have found a buyer you just don't see that.

In my entire life, I have never run across anyone like you; a person who actually believes that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
It's not how you think it is, I'm happy that I have that exact amount to hopefully have that archie comic I've had my eye on for a while

Too bad he never got to use his planned marketing strategy for that book
Yes I wonder how that would have went.
You might have made a whole dollar
I see myself making 5-10 on it.

My road to success (Moving Update 2)

Posted · Edited by uchiha101
For the comic I know they can get damaged so I didn't specify any grade since I'm not sure myself all I told them is as soon as I get it I will ship it to them and before you accuse me of something at least check my listing because nowhere in it did I say it would come back a certain grade.
