Why not? People do it all the time.

It may be true that most people do not turn a profit most of the time, but I can guarantee you that some do some of the time.

I make a full-time living at it myself.

I was referring to the investing part.

No doubt you can make a profit by flipping. Just don't run up the credit cards in the process

@Captain Canuck because nobody should be expecting to invest in books and see a return.

If you like the art then by all means please purchase. But not as an investment

I AM Michael Scott. And I don't say that in a bragging sort of way because, let's be honest, there's not much to brag about

Is it worthwhile investing in pages from issue 1 or 2

No.

I'd buy a near mint NM#98 for $100. No more than that

So for this type of stuff, do you give the comics to the insurance company for the full insured value? Or just the value of the comics before vs value after (and you keep the comics)?  Do they have a comic 'expert' come look? 

Good question

The seller did not use eBay shipping but used actual stamps and paid for delivery confirmation from the counter ... I never understand how people still use this time consuming method ... I guess some folks like going to the post office

Those old habits die hard

I recently had a buyer return a $145 book ... Just for fun I relisted the book for $155 and it sold a few days after I received it back

I listed a book for auction at $275. Didn't sell. $225 nothing. $175 still nothing.

Just for laughs I listed it a final time at $205 and it sold

@wombat It's a good rule.

You gotta work for it. Lets everyone know you're 4 real

It looks like 2016 was the first year that this "noob" rule (boardie for at least one year) was NOT in effect.

That's why you can usually go to larger dealers' websites and get a better price.  A lot of those "auctions" are listed twice on GPA - once on eBay and once in their own website, at a 10-15% discount.

Moderns & movie spec books are the only way to make money selling on ebay.

Any GA keys - fuggedaboutit

Yes, they are. 

I don't see how ANYONE can really turn a good profit anymore. The fees are so high that you have to jack up the price just to break even. Any profit margin on comics is usually eaten up by eBay, PayPal, and shipping fees. It's depressing. 

I can make a little bit on ebay - has to be a hot item though. It's almost like you have to be ahead of the curve.

Works both ways - as a buyer I get hella deals on ebay auctions

Anyone who sells on ebay knows how difficult it is to be a seller there.  And it gets only harder as time goes on

The fees are God awful

Little pickup today
