The comics were simpler or things in general?  Because here in the states things were far from simple at that time.  Hulk #55 came out in 2003.  

Both

A buying spree of Marvel Feature 1 is hot on eBay .. Dr Strange may lead a Defenders team in Multiverse of Madness

The hero movie may have been done and over-done.

The wider audience is drifting away by some counts and the 'fan-boy' interest is following the rule of 25 and melting away like the over-done re-boots at Marvel.

The comic books themselves have been losing interest for years. It is like boxing, you make your product too high end with Pay-per-view and endless variant covers and you gain in the short term with deep pocketed fans paying out, but you kill the wider audience.

MCU is keeping existing fans invested, not necessarily gaining new ones per say

Sell on the rumor, buy on the facts

I like that philosophy. My bank guy tells me he’s selling when everyone is buying… which is good. Of course interest could go up. Buying when no one is.. cold keys

Well luckily it's not a book I care anything about for my personal collection, so that helps. But it would have been a nice, profitable flip! Oh well. Win some, lose some. I really gotta stop selling early though!

Time to prepare these… unbelievably the actor just passed away today

That Moon Knight book absolutely kills me. I picked a copy up in a lot of stuff several months ago...maybe even last year. It was the only Moon Knight comic I had, and I thought to myself "You know, a Moon Knight show is coming out, and the early stuff is red hot. I can see the ongoing getting hot as well, with the Sienkiewicz covers and all. But what are the odds that anyone will ever want the 2nd issue of a miniseries from the 80's?" So it eventually ended up in a box of stuff I sold at the local shop. Because of course it did. Because I'm an insufficiently_thoughtful_person.

I guess it's true, these days it's best not to sell anything until it pops, because in time, everything is going to.

I bought an all 80s collection in 2020. It had Khonshu 1-6 (which I still have) and had a couple loose Khonshu 2 & 3s.. I was about to include those 2 & 3s in a bulk longbox sale to a dealer last week but decided last minute not too in the odd chance they become worth anything. Your exact post was my reasoning

I got these at an estate sale for $2 each. They advertised a FF52 for $800 and said it went right away at that price. I got these 3 days later, including the coverless FF53.

Nice bronze DC finds. You went on the  last day and they still had gems hiding?

And to think I used to pass those up in the dollar bins a few years ago…

I passed on an original owner stack of about 30 copies in 2017. I did get one copy for $5 which I sold around early Eternals hype

$25 garage sale pick up - nice selection of sketch books from about 15 years ago when the guy attended SDCC.  Unfortunately, he was holding onto his comics.

 

 

While comics are cool, I usually ask for t shirts and posters.. anything cool.. standees, displays, etc.

A lot (10+ copies) have sold but still many available BIN for under $4

It’s not a strong first app. Typical overprinted 80s DC title

That looks like an episode right out of 'Pickers'.

That looks like my garage. Boxes stacked everywhere in a lackadaisical manner. Who needs cars?

Moving in with who, you? 

 

The seller moved into a new home and decided to sell the comics he brought with him from the Northwest 

Sometime in the early 2000s .. either Comic Galaxy or Comic Odyssey

This is exactly the moving/yard/estate/garage sale I'm looking for, but I'm afraid when I find it I'll faint dead away.

This was very casual. It was the next city over in an area I’ve passed thousands of times so it wasn’t nerve racking. I did have a feeling I would score at this particular sale since it was a “moving sale” .. that means all the comics gotta go and it’s usually at cheaper prices than a regular garage sale
