Yes I’m pretty much full time seller now. Majority of what I buy will eventually be sold. About 1-2% of the comics I buy in every haul I might keep. It has to either be something I haven’t had before or it be a really nice upgrade copy. But rarely do I find stuff to add to my longboxes collection 

Marvel Premiere 10

A dealer was asking $100 for a Hulk 181 Marvel Milestone at a show yesterday .. I was baffled

Detective Comics 988 1st Lady Firefly

On Terry's website "(CalComicCon): planning for January 30th, 2022 Orange County, CA."

I knew Vengeance 1 variant (which I bought for $10 when it came out) would be worth bigger money. I sold it for $210 to pay bills

Almost every Master of Kung Fu cover has Shang Chi kicking someone in a very similar position on the cover

Another 5% ebay bucks earner today, shop till you drop and earn

 

I of course bought items last week that could have waited but I figured there’d be no more ebucks this close to Halloween. I was thinking in November for Thanksgiving. Also 5% on any purchase isn’t really much

Which is why they bring an expert in to educate them.

And that expert gave them jacked up advice.

If he had quoted the more recent sales figures on the lower grades, they would have looked like Moe Rons for passing on it.

A 5.5 (even if it was over graded) for $28,000 more than the $222,000 that a 2.0 sold for last month.......and $110,000 less than the $360,000 that a 5.0 sold for in April?  It was staged......but it was also a staged stupid decision. 

 

I can see how this can be an old clip now. these clips are uploaded daily from previously aired episodes. Those segments from the might have been filmed potentially over a year ago.. who knows

but there have been many instances where they offer much closer to the price they can sell an item for as long as it's not something that's difficult to sell

that's when it's something they personally like or a unique item they'll be able to get a favorable return on. In many of those cases it's never been comics. Usually militaria or entertainment memorabilia. They rarely pay up in the $200,000 range on something they aren't comfortable w or knowledgeable about.

I believe that episode was from this year, so they should have bought it at the $250,000 asking price. 

Their expert quoted the last three GPA prices for a 5.5.........but the most recent GPA sale for that grade was back in 2019 for $210,000.  

Things have changed a lot since 2019.......and he obviously didn't look at other grades for more recent sales.

A 5.0 sold in April 2021 for $360,000.

A 2.0 sold in September 2021 for $222,000.

Time to get a new expert.

 

Season 18 (this year) is the most current season .. but Pawn Stars usually offer 1/3 and up to around 1/2 price so bringing in that book was just for airtime.. that's an easy book for big auction houses

imo i agree thats an over graded book. probably more in line with a 4.5, or if you prefer, a Promise collection 7.0 

the soiling/foxing doesn't present well on the yellow .. i wouldn't grade that 5.5.. it's far too high and very kind.. I agree 4.5.. fine- no even for GA.. there's moderns I wouldn't grade 5.5 in similar shape

Been a while since I added to this thread 🦇
