I will take it Going to slab this. Might have fijnally found one the wife will like.

I will take it

I will take it.

I am downsizing and would give up most of my collection for high grade Hulk 1.

This is a difficult spot for you. If a book sells normally for 800 and you price at 1k I just thing well no need to negotiate against myself and I love on. If you price at $800 then you set yourself up for low balls. Your job definetly isn't easy.

True for raw books. CGC graded books I am 100% checking ebay first.

Ha this hurts your industry way more than ebay. And I put 90% of dealer on ignore because the in person experience is the same.

My guess would be auction sales, list price that the book sits at for x amount of time so reduced ECT ECT. As a buyer you quickly get an idea of what the cost will be to obtain and item from looking at sold listings. Do some sellers under price the market yes ( I am one of them because it is just hobby to me). The same as a well respected dealer can get over market prices. But think don't understand ebay pricing model is a silly stance.

People can argue all they like but at the end of the day this nails how people think. You don't need to like and you can fight it to failure or you can find a way to adjust and profit.

This is not entitlement it is marketing 101. Consumers don't care what it cost a seller to make something only what the opportunity cost is to them. So the argument that dealers work harder is moot. The comicbook is the comicbook regardless of how it arrives in the consumers hands.

Also a pet peeve of mine is when a seller using number system like 9.2 is there a refund if a third party IE disagrees. Just use range like NM-

As I stated I am not your target market. Also books at cons are just as over graded as ebay. But with ebay I can find a flaw later and return it. So yes I would expect a bigger discount for something I need a make a quick no returns allowed judgement. With that said what is the excuse for being higher on CGC books? There are just unlimited markets to buy from now. Facebook, Instagram, here that there is never a reason to over pay. It has becomes a buyers market. I certainly wish dealers the beston thier sales because I love the hobby but it just isn't for me. I don't want to haggle and just want the best price for the book.

This is why I gave up on all but the hardest to find books. If I am at a con and to make this easy a graded book is $700 at the con but I can click a button while standing at the booth and buy it for $500 I will just keep walking. And in truth this is almost always the case lately. I understand it from a dealer perspective, sell a NM98 9.8 for 1k and snag some people that don't shop around but the people responding on this board are more informed. I realized that I am not the target market for Con dealers and now just enjoy getting art commissions which at least puts money in the hands of the artist. In order for me to become a customer, I would need prices about 15% under the bay otherwise it is just easier to have it shipped to the house with buyer protection. Just my 2 cents.

Working on every cover with Bullseye but have slowed down lately. Have most of the original DD run in CGC 9.6 9.8. Now he is so popular I have stopped at just the older titles.

This is the correct answer in almost every situation. Except, Pawnshops in many states have lobbied well enough to avoid being the one holding the bag.

I have started moving towards having the back signed on any expensive books. I still have the signature without interfering with the art on the front. And it is mostly an encapsulated memory for me.

I am the guy with crappy Ebay headlines lol. And I certainly lose about 10% to maybe 30% over more well written auctions with patients. Although if I am hitting Ebay then it was my last resort to offload lots. Everything else I sell under ebay prices outside of ebay.

I think I can answer the original question with my personal experience. I am a non speculator that became a speculator by default because I really enjoy buying lots from people and digging into comic books. I love the sorting, looking up prices ect. With that said I got to a point where I decided I wanted a smaller collection that was higher end items in a clean space. So to balance the two joys I still buy lots but I buy them to sell and will often hold some items I.E. my handful of NM87 until I think its a good time to sell and I will offload the rest below value till a break even on the lot. I enjoy it and have gotten some great finds.

I like to complete a collection and then upgrade it as I go. Just completed Dark knight returns in 9.8 and finishing up DD 1-10 and once I do I will work towards having them all at 7.0 or 8.0 Next up is Hulk 1-6 To do this I have started selling off some of the other lesser keys and general why did I buy this slabs.

Yes I believe they just scan the form. Then they do an actual check when it gets to grading, so any mistakes on the senders part will delay the process. I forgot to add a book to the list once. Delayed me.

When I lived in south Florida in my 20s we just went to the local bar with cash and they would shut the doors before it kicked off.

I do this myself trading $1 books for higher dollar books but its closer to a long box of $1-5 books for $100-150 book. I couldn't image the glory I would have if I landed someone that would make a straight 1-1 value trade. But the time saved is worth the loss in value to me.

I just sold 350 of these dating back to maybe issue 50 for $400 shipped. Wish I had seen this first I would of sent you PM.

Plan to offload any of punisher 9.8?

This here works. Don't try to educate it comes across different than you intend it to. Just politely declined with no reason of why. Once you roll on the mansplaining it's all down hill.
