That makes absolutely zero sense Gabe I'll rephrase it then. I was taught to buy low and sell high and also to buy things on the down trend so that when it goes back up I'll make money with a bit of waiting. Buy low, sell high .. good. Buy things on the down trend & wait for them to go back up .. bad! Especially on these hype books. The time to buy is before the initial pop, or before they reach their peak and everyone knows about them -- after they have peaked and started to crash, they don't tend to go back up in price any time soon. I agree I'm going to have to re-read those articles

ANIMOSITY 3 HARAMBE COLOR VARIANT These comics have arrived safely and I have sold them Paid $66USD Shipped Sold $179.26USD (That's after all fees and shipping and what both sold for together)

Because again I ignored my friends advice unlike me he's always on top of things. So maybe you should hang up the speculation shoes until you can get on top of things. I do have some good news though those harambe comics worked out. Numbers? Bought for $66 Shipped Sold for 179.26 after all fees and shipping Take that pasta boy While it's good that Gabe made money on this deal, in all likelihood Jimmy's profit dwarfed Gabe's. I don't mind I made money and I'm happy. I honestly think its great that Gabe is moving closer to the black! After costs we raised $2300 for charity in the presale. Awesome

Nice score on the Uncle Scrooge 170

Because again I ignored my friends advice unlike me he's always on top of things. And you've proven that you are purchasing books after the hype has died down. You're not going to duplicate your friend's success since you seem to spend so much on books that have peaked and are on a downward trend. I was getting a little concerned when you stopped posting. I thought that you had finally come to your senses and stopped buying books but I'm glad to see that you're continuing on you way. I was taught to buy comics when they go downwards instead up in an uptick because that's how you make money and also negotiating well. Haha well you're right I have stopped buying comics because I'm keeping to my exception I mentioned earlier and unless I sell stuff or have some extra money I won't buy anything.

I thought you didn't care either way?

I've definitely seen worse buys from him before. But for him to make any really money he will need the book to shoot up to the $200 range which is doubtful but possible. I'm thinking of listing it at $225 OBO on Ebay Worth a shot but considering that's about double what people were paying 10 days ago its a long shot. There does not look to be many copies out there so who knows. I like how he takes his friends advice as if it were written in stone when his friend is just making guesses like the rest of us I don't take his word as set in stone but with his track record I can't argue with it. and what is your track record for chasing hype books? what % of the time have you made money? I remember you calculated that for me I also color coded it in case you would not remember the number. Some people are more visual. here it is again in a simpler form :mad::mad::mad::mad: red = the amount of times you have lost $$$ speculating on hype yellow is when you make money Look back again - you once wrote out the latest batch of your speculation books - why your buddy bought them - and how he bought them. There is a HUGE difference - I remember that a couple of the books - he paid cover or under - and one was in a collection he purchased. You - are taking his advice on speculation book - and paying essentially FMV or higher - after the price has risen a little. The only way his recommendations work - is if you get book CHEAP. He has no concerns - as you are adding to those paying on the upswing ( if there really is one) - and making sure there are plenty of high GPA prices struck on the books HE ALREADY HAS. Yes that's why I need to act faster but I will re-check comics that I've bought in the past

$115 would have bought a bicycle or a good down payment on a scooter. That's true but I don't think I would pay that much for a bike maybe 20-30 You don't need a Cannondale or a Trek bike, but $20.00 to $30.00 probably won't buy you much of a bike, unless you can get one from the Goodwill or Salvation Army. It's been a while since I looked for a bike but last time I paid 25 for it and it was on kijiji

I never thought it of that way tbh I'll get on that tomorrow

I don't know why this would be doing you a favor and it's something he told me to be careful on and watch for the window so while I do that I'm selling and listing my other comics. He's not actually asking you to do him a favor, it's a figure of speech. He is trying to help you, however. Didn't realize that.

about 10% of the total money

I'm good thanks Even at 50% of what you just paid Yes because I know I can sell a copy or two but not two cases of them

I'm good thanks
