First in the thread wins. No probation or HOSers. Buyer pays actual shipping, happy to work with you on your preferred method to get a good shipping cost. Pay by Paypal, no international buyers (sorry) and no returns. I don't have a Kudos thread, but I have had a few transactions on the board as a buyer. Open to reasonable offers, "take its" in thread win out over PM negotiations though. Selling 2 brand-new-in-box NECA TMNT figures from the 2008/2009 line: Leonardo and a 2009 SDCC April O'Neil with Mousers. These have never been opened and I am the original owner, I bought them in '08-09. Boxes show typical, minimal shelf wear; I can provide additional photos if needed.

79 is the best cover in the bunch in my opinion - just picked up another copy today for $5 while I was out digging.

That's probably the key point I'm missing as I think about this - I suppose there are a lot of flippers fueling the market right now, so a better indicator will be what it's doing in 6 months. Probably similar for the Batman Fortnite stuff. FWIW, I grabbed a SIKTC at "cover price" - found a store that was selling it for $3.99, and they still had cover B of the Batman Fortnite for $5.99 so I grabbed that too for the heck of it. Even if they tank, I dig the covers, and my kid loves Fortnite.

I see a lot of people complaining that print run of the Something is Killing the Children 1 8th print is "super high" at 75,000 - maybe it's because I was initially into comics in the 80s/90s and seeing astronomical print runs, but is that really that high? Aside from the fact that it's an 8th printing, there are plenty of other books that had similar print runs that went on to be valuable; Ultimate Fallout 4 had a print run of 74,000 for example. I'm not trying to compare an 8th printing of a book to the first appearance of a major, major character, I'm just trying to understand why people think $20-25 on a hot book with a print run of 75K is so overinflated - surely the demand must still outstrip the supply even at that print range, right?

I traded a bunch of 90s filler Batman issues to an LCS today for store credit and picked up a few books, including a really nice-looking 161 for what I felt like was a good value just because I liked the cover and I like that era (their store back issue bins are like a treasure hunt, titles/eras/etc. are all mixed together). Came home and was looking stuff up online and saw that Key Collector showed a huge increase in sales of this issue between this week and last. Glad I found your post because I was coming here with the same question!

I always said I'd be a terrible comic book shop owner, because I'm awful at selling things, even if those things sit in a box and I never look at them again (which for stuff like these TMNT figures is probably a great reason to sell them, so someone else can actually enjoy them). But I'm really considering selling the Neca TMNTs - the ones above and the boxed sets I have - because it would take me a long way toward owning a book I really want, like a Batman 251 (could probably even get a 9.2-9.4ish with the sale proceeds based on current market price for the turtle figs) or even potentially a low-mid grade ASM 129...

Immortal Hulk 45 looks to be climbing, especially the cover A and the Deadpool variant.

Looks like you made a good choice!

I agree! I actually also have this four-pack set and a box set of the four in black and white too. I was shocked when I saw what they're selling for on eBay, might have to bite the bullet and sell... They are ridiculously cool though.

Was doing some spring cleaning and came across these two in storage. I didn't realize how pricey/hard to find these are now... bought them back when they first came out...

Animal Crossing Gamecube Nintendo Power Guide - $30

3 Rockstar Bradygames Guides - GTA 3; GTA Vice City and State of Emergency - $15 for the lot

Chrono Cross Bradygames Guide - $40

Final Fantasy X-2 Bradygames Guide - $12

Kingdom Hearts 1 Bradygames Guide - $20

First in the thread wins. No probation or HOSers. Buyer pays actual shipping, happy to work with you to get a good shipping cost. Pay by Paypal, no international buyers (sorry) and no returns. I don't have a Kudos thread, but I have had a few transactions on the board - I'm usually a buyer, but have a few things I want to start to sell. Open to reasonable offers, "take its" in thread win out over PM negotiations though. Listing some strategy guides for various games, mostly from the PS1/PS2/Gamecube era. Most of these are in used condition but were fairly well taken-care of. Some have store stickers from their original purchase. I'll list a couple to start and to see if there's any interest, and we can go from there. I can provide additional photos/info if needed.

Since there are a lot of sellers here, what do you think a reasonable time period is for a buyer to wait before they reach out to ask about something being shipped? I bought two books from a seller on Friday. I always pay immediately when an auction ends or when I do a BIN. The seller still hasn't shipped (eBay's original estimated delivery time is this Thursday, 4/29, based on the seller's shipping and handling settings, which obviously isn't going to happen at this point).

Sometimes being a Bat-fan is ok because there are still deals on keys compared to the hot Marvel books. And there are still deals available on eBay, but you do have to hunt a ton (which is actually part of the fun for me). Buying lots you can end up with a lot of filler issues, but depending on the lot price you can make it worth it with 1-2 key books and the filler is gravy you can sell off cheap. Got a couple of nice recent wins that just came in: Paid $21.50 for a 10-book lot ($2.15 a book), including Batman 626, 628, 658, 664, 666, 667, 668, 670, 671, 673. Apparently 664 is getting spec'd on because of a Punchline connection (I'm not caught up...). Batman 666 is first Damian Wayne as Batman and first Professor Pyg. Paid $12 for a Detective run of 846-852 - 850 is the first Gotham City Sirens And I won a 130-issue lot of Batman for an average of $1.36 an issue. Lot of filler and a bunch of 7.5-9.0 stuff throughout this one, but a couple of key gems and a bunch of lesser issues that are still good story runs or minor-minor "keys" (Jason Todd's origin in Batman 408 for example). The pics were tough to judge by and I took a chance, but I'm glad I did because of at least one book in particular... I'm planning on keeping around 50 issues and getting rid of the rest - if you need 90s Batman filler issues or story run issues, let me know. These are mid-grade unfortunately, but nice to have the set raw I suppose. Might end up selling these. First appearance of Renee Montoya 608 has some spine issues unfortunately, but cool that it's a newsstand. The whole Hush run was in the lot, and luckily much higher grade than this issue. First appearance of Tommy Elliot (Hush) First appearance of Jason Todd as the Red Hood

As a Batman fan, most bronze-modern Batman keys. I hope. If DC could figure out their extended universe like Marvel did, there are a lot of books that are fairly cheap right now with a lot of room to grow...

Batman 423 has to be one of the big ones, like you said in the first post. I'd also argue these: And maybe this one too:

Yeah, I went back and forth a bit with myself over the crease, but knowing that I've really wanted a Shelly Moldoff art/Bill Finger story issue for a while, specifically with Ace on the cover, I bit the bullet. They had it listed at $28 and we ended up at $23. I've seen more beat up copies sell for more than that, so I can live with it. Thanks all!

I know! I was bummed too.
