  1. They are worth however much one can sell them for. For common books gpa gocollect works. Overstreet is dead on for the few dealers shops that still use it. Love those guys. Overstreet has never been accurate though. For one the information in a brand new guide is already year and a half to 2 years old. Two they don't update it each year either. As far back as I can remember dealers would be complaining how off the guide is and they won't correct it even though they are so called advisors reporting this information. They are on a high 90 percent of the time, but things they miss on are huge misses for sellers. I bought numerous nyx 3 bat 12 when they were 100 and $200 dollar books for $5 because overstreet didn't even have them listed as a 1st appearance or years later they had them extremely under valued.
  2. A lot of people think it hurts the grade more than it actually does. Water damage is the opposite. Sell it raw.
  3. Somebody just got a once in a lifetime deal on amazing fantasy 15.
  4. Most people buy the labels grade. Most people can't grade or their criteria differs from grading companies. On this forum you have a higher percentage of comic educated people. General public is pretty clueless. I always give a honest grade or no grade. But the world is full of sellers who over grade by a lot and people pay the price for that false grade.
  5. Yeah 1099. Dunno what I was thinking. I always used ebay. Moved on to facebook groups and such for good stuff. Been doing more buying then selling. But maybe one day will unload a lot if stuff and have them sell it.
  6. Do they send you a tax 1040? If buyer frauds you, do they handle it and eat the lost $ or you don't get paid?
  7. Lots of mega stores do consignment. Mycomicshop sounds good to me, never used them though. The big New York one. The one with the reese guy and his 2 sons took over. Getting old and can't think of the names. Pick one you like or has cheapest fees.
  8. Not enough people seen this with the high starting bid. All this shows is one person was willing to pay that much. Maybe 2 or 3 if the other bidders weren't shills. Newsstand seems pretty rare and people will pay for rarity so this price may end up being a bargain.
  9. I feel the same way about movies being delayed. I sell as soon as they get a big boost anyways even before covid. Any x-MEN or fantastic four keys that got the boost from disney getting the rights are long gone. Put $ to work somewhere else. Not going to bet on them doubling in value again. I am not a good source for auction reports. I won't pay attention to anything that has been in a movie or show or speculated on unless it is 30 40 percent under fmv. If I see blade or moon knight or something 10 to 20 percent under value I just keep scrolling so no idea what the final hammer was. But that is rare, I remember seeing most things right around fmv with time remaining.
  10. I didn't bid on anything all week then Friday I bid on 15 books. Won 5. Runner up on 7. Two was close on. One I bid 100 and it went for $235. Just everything I was interested in was end of alphabet I guess. Didn't get any unbelievable deals for sure. Fmv or under slightly. No bids over $500 and nothing even luke warm or hot. Every key hot book I seen went for fmv or above.
  11. Marvel needs to get on the ball start pumping out some new variants and 1st Appearances. Here are some ideas marvel. Miles iron spider. Cosmic miles. War machine miles. Female clone Miles. Venom miles. Carnage miles. Miles 2099. Old man miles. Milespool. Marvel isn't making any cheddar on these back issue sales.
  12. All from what I seen. Hardly any are selling for more than $15 or even $10 but people are listing them and they are selling fast. Clone wars fcbd been going for 2 weeks. Cant remember if anyone reported or not.
  13. All hip hop covers have seen a increase of interest. But the new huge amount of love for young black super heroes has moved on to riri. Invincible iron man 1 hip hop on fire.
  14. I would say most people in here are pretty well off. Everybody I know who treats comics as $ bought hoarded hundreds of copies of miles gwen silk aphra and all those books hit in a close time frame. Sure some people want nothing to do with modern. Most of them don't part with old comics either. Purely collectors. I am not a huge fan of modern books but I pick up a lot of collections so come in here to see what trash I can unload.
  15. I would always contact seller first. Might just be a misunderstanding. They might give you a partial refund. Give them chance to make things right. If they offer returns, you can return book for any reason just pay the shipping. No returns you can still return if they deceived you. If page missing or cover detached wasn't shown in picture or mentioned in listing. If their pictures didn't show a stain. Whatever.
  16. Look for sold items. You can ask whatever you want. Some sellers list a book just to draw traffic. Some just show off their collection. Some put their I don't really want to sell it price but if someone pays it then good. Cgc will get a lot more $ in a 9.8 x-MEN 4 nm is $30 or $40 bucks. 9.8 almost 200
  17. Are you certain it was pressed? What was pressed out of the 9.6 to make it a 9.8? Worst then paying 3x for the improved 9.8 would be to pay for the same 9.7 Pedigree doesn't do anything for me. Wouldn't pay extra for it. Just be patient and the right copy will come along one day. If not move on to something else, lots of books out there. If it is that important, then like beyonder said, should have bid more.
  18. The further back in time you go, the fewer the people who treated comics with the care they are given today. Late 80s early 90s when prices jumped up like crazy changed the game.
  19. Its heating up again. Ones about to sell for $700 Somebody start a thread. Is the miles hip hop a modern grail?
  20. I was joking. But he should of waited. I was buying more at $20. Has there been a sure thing in the last 3 years? I think the ones you mentioned are the last ones.
  21. If they all haven't heated up yet they will soon. Divad loves miles discussion so the more the better. Most impressive I seen is hip hop cgc 9.8 $500. Two months ago $50
