Ok I only responded with a question to what you said.

With all due respect to the OP I can't imagine that book being worth more than $50-75 So when you come out with an asking price of likely more than two times fair market value it doesn't do anything to instill or create buyer confidence Or assist with seller credibility Ok but I don't understand what credibility has to do with this unless they would think I'm trying to rip them off? It's a OBO and right now I'm testing the waters to see if I'll get any offers for it. You obviously don't know what the word "Credibility" means. Here is an assignment for you: Look up the definition of Credibility. Next, post that definition in your response. Next, tell us why asking between 2 and 3 times the value of your book does or does not hurt Your credibility and why. And by the way, your answer cannot include the fact that You overpaid for the book in the first place and it cannot include "But I put OBO". If you do this, you MIGHT actually learn something. I won't hold my breath, but stranger things have probably happened. Oh, and by the way, when you are asking 2 to 3 times market price for your book, why would a potential customer Not think that you are trying to rip them off? Definition of the word credibility the quality of being believable or worthy of trust: I was always told by my dad to always ask double and work my way down so if people haggle I'll still get the price I want. Horrible advice in comic sales. That price is neither believable nor worthy of trusting you as a seller. Hence destructive to your credibility. Reposting n case you missed it when I posted earlier today or just chose to ignore Nope didn't miss it

It's a OBO and right now I'm testing the waters to see if I'll get any offers for it. I like to think the questions being asked are comig from a child but I know that it's coming from someone in their mid-20s. So sad... I don't think it's sad to ask about something you're not sure about I may not be as smart as you guys but at least I'm trying. It's sad how a 27 year old can't figure out how over pricing a book can impact their credibility as a legit seller. You seem very sure of your pricing methods and it makes total sense to you however your prices don't make any sense for the reasons mentioned by the other posters. It seems like you're hoping to sucker a new collector in over paying for your book just like the seller did to you. Gabe, the market for that book is going to be very, very difficult. Overpriced books can be a big turn off. Being at the high end of GPA is one thing but books that are in the stratosphere, like yours for this mangled, coverless ASM #7 just make legit buyers/collectors laugh or scoff and move on and if you don't think buyers make "mental notes" of sellers, you are wrong. You are showing this inexperience over 8 FB pages too no less. LISTEN TO WHAT GATOR IS TELLING YOU. Also, I am not surprised to see that you did not listen to my advice about cleaning up your online presence. You still have My Little Pony and far right American political stuff on your FB page. Seriously, you are CANADIAN. WTF? Share if "You Think (Obama) Wants Civil Unrest to Disrupt the Election" - Are you out of your freaking mind? Also, what is with this "Meninist" ? Your rant against Emma Watson was the icing on the cake. She has accomplished more in 15 minutes than you have in your entire life. Get an education. Or, at the very least, understand that excessive posting of social/political views online, generally not a good thing. As an employer, if I saw your online postings, your application would be going straight to the garbage. I don't like her views and feminist logic so I'll leave it at that. I know that the comic book community is small don't get me wrong but I also know that you can ask whatever you want because it's your comic and as you said they'll just scoff and move on, that said it only means I'll be sitting with a overpriced comic and with what gator told me I said that I would change the price after the weekend if I get no bites. Why wait so long to lower the price? Only two days not that long By definition we have already established that you are hurting your credibility with that price on the asm7. Anything more than two seconds without changing the price is too long ! That said if people see me change the price down to about 75 bucks won't that lead them to believe they can lowball me?

I hear what people are saying about Gabes online activity is not necessarily going to impede his ability to get a job due to his present situation but it COULD and it still shows a lack of maturity and understanding of how you project yourself to others matters. It is "nice" for you that KPR bailed you out and did not prolong your suffering with the ASM #129 CGC 8.0 but based on your ongoing attitude and excuses I don't know how many bridges you have left. Not sure either but I know with good prices and a decent attitude there will always be someone to buy the comics and many people may not take me seriously because of all my mistakes but that's ok all in good time.

Ugh those prices are way too high for the condition their in

With shipping included it cost me 12 dollars Betty and me 16 $4.50 NYX 4 $4 Shipping $3.50 Even a beat up BaM16 for $4.50 sounds like a deal that's hard to beat. I've contacted a few other people as well and they have great deals like this too

I know I can flip it and make a profit so I bought it

Update Betty and me 16 NYX 4

Straight cash and paying by paypal.

I'll answer this first. Yes I have trouble with things that people think is obvious because it's not to me or I wouldn't ask it's something most take for granted. In terms of math I did some calculations with two comics I might be buying. I used to read a lot buy haven't in the last two or three years, I took business classes in high school and college, I haven't worked out in about 7 years if you're taking about things like gym sessions. I do know another language other then English You're buying books again? What are the two you're considering? Betty and me 16 NYX 4 I think NYX #4 is worth more than $11 Indeed it is but that's not the price I'm buying it for Betty and Me #16 is also not an $11 book. If you're spending less than that for those two books then you did well. I was talking about the NYX 4 being worth more then 11 dollars but yeah I saw a 4.0 betty and me 16 selling for 130 so I'm curious to see what he'll say $130 is more than $11 No you misunderstood me I'm buying it for 4.50 and it's last sale was 130 bucks

People who accept lower profit margins either have buyers lined up or sell volume, neither of which is your bag I would definitely buy from a seller who is reputable and have good prices versus someone with no credibility and over-prices their books. Someone who is wishy washy and over-priced will not get repeat business or any business at all. Well I have credibility with being honest and fair with people but my comics are overpriced in most situations. How is asking 2 to 3 times market price being fair? And your comics are overpriced in every case. It's fair because I allow people to haggle if they don't like the price and also my comics weren't overpriced in every case if that were so I wouldn't have made a profit on comics or sold them for losses which either way means it was a fair enough price to make them buy it

Another excuse. This time it's your dads fault? You didn't even answer the questions, you just blamed your overpricing on your dad and let it go at that. You're 23 years old, at what point do you intend to start taking responsibility for your own actions? If your dad always told you to rob a bank whenever you were short of money, would you think that was good advice? I did answer the question you asked me why I priced things 2-3 times higher and I answered that I follow what my dad told me. No I don't follow everything he says but he knows much more then I probably ever will. Responsibility for my actions? I already have if you haven't noticed, I followed James's advice of sticking to a budget, I'm addressing my problems of dealing with emotional impulses and I've taken losses. The final and one of the most important things I've said is that I admitted I made mistakes and realizing I have more then one problem
