No, I don't think i can flip it for that much right now, after fees I don't think I'd make anything. I'm thinking a bit longer term. Low print run book, seemingly not pumped up in current hysteria, title I like. I just wish I had been thinking about it a couple of weeks ago. After some more back and forth he is $35 below the MCS price, so I guess $25 less than the price on their website. While we are $20 more than the SS sold for just last week, I will probably give in, particularly if I make some sales tonight. Just need to sell some more MCP 72s. None of the 9.8s I have been buying lately are flips after I pay fees. I should be putting this money into paying off my HELO or fixing my roof.
That's the thing about buying 9.8s. There's not much subjectivity. Sellers can see the last few sales, so can buyers, we're not quibling over whether a book may actually be a VF, the only issue is whether we think the next round of sales is going to jack things up. Folks prices 50-75% above most recent sales are just waiting for the market to catch up.
It is weird, for a long time I had little interest in modern 9.8s, now I am keenly interested in a few select books if I don't feel like I am overpaying.
