Robot Man got a reaction from Ricksneatstuff in Influx of new sellers on the boards
It is getting to the point with me that I rarely buy or sell anywhere but here on the boards. I rarely buy at the big auction houses (high prices), ebay (high prices and questionable descriptions), Cons rarely have what I want. Selling on ebay is a shoot. I only sell stuff to support this expensive habit anyway.
Frankly, I don't care one bit what one does with a book once I have sold it. If it is for your collection, great, always happy to help out a fellow collector. If you flip it and make a profit good as well. I sold it for what I needed to get. If you make a little, you might be back for more. If I screwed up on price, that's on me and I can live with it. I've heard the "it's for my collection" or "it's my "grail" forever from flippers. Doesn't matter to me.
Now, since I have been here, I have developed relationships with other board members that I like and respect. I often offer them the book or item direct before I throw it out to the public because of this. If I don't know you, I don't feel that need to do so.
Sometimes, I really don't know the true market value on a book. That's when it goes to ebay. I let the market decide. I often get a lot more from ebay than I would get here. I have offered books here that didn't sell and seen them double or tripple on the bay.

Robot Man got a reaction from Bronty in Most valuable comic books from 1946-1948
I actually like the term "Atomic Age". It starts with the dropping of the Atomic Bomb in 1945 signaling the end of WWII and the beginning of the end of superheroes. It ushered in a wonderful age of lots of different genres of titles. My favorite "age" in comic books. I consider the end of the "Atomic Age" when the comics code starts in 1955. To each his own though...

I've owned some real nice baseball and surfing trophies over the years. I like the same kind as you. Metal, figural and large. They sell as fast as I put them out at shows for real good money. This one will probably go fast.
