The-Collector

Not a bad five minutes spent trawling the dollar bin:

You can make normative claims about who should say what and why but ultimately I think the onus is on each individual as a reader to take in information, make sure they are well informed and make purchasing decisions accordingly. Of course people are self interested and of course some of the things they say will be motivated by that interest. Evaluate their argument and decide for yourself. So much butt hurt in this thread about the most obvious aspects of commerce.

You buy and sell a lot Fingh, what level of fool are you?

October!!! you are the luckiest guy I know. Or maybe it is skill there does seem to be an outstanding confluence of good deals coming your way. Has got to command at least a 30% premium. It's all skill baby, it's all skill. Some people just have it, others, it breezes right past them like the wind. I can hear the wind rustling in my hair right now.

+1 I don't think there is a hard and fast rule. I went to someones house last year and I was suspect at first so asked a few details about his occupation, reason for selling, history of the collection etc etc. I also indicated I wouldn't bring cash with me but would go get it if the books were cool. Which wasn't true, I left the money in my car, but made robbing me less appealing

some nice copies!

That is a very nice copy TC! Thanks Timern it is perfectly centered with nice white/ow pages.

I respect your opinion with this, but I am going to use the Transformers as an example. When the animated Transformers TV series came out years ago the Transformer comic books were hot sellers in the LCS like the X-Men, then the animated Transformers got cancelled then like you say what will happen to the Walking Dead is Transformer sales dropped. Ok, you say that proves your point, but what happened to the Transformers was it never went away, and it rose again with billion dollar grossing movies. The same thing will happen with Walking Dead. Yes, TWD will eventually get cancelled, but someday they will bring it back as a trilogy on the big screen say like in 25 years? People will then pay bigger bucks for TWD #1 in 25 years then they do now. I can see young people who can`t afford TWD#1 now spending big bucks for it in 25 years. So yeah your right it will cool down after the TV series is cancelled, but I see it rising again when they go to make TWD Hollywood movie blockbusters. In the end TWD #1 is a winner. Not saying that this wont happen but the situation you are positing requires many factors to align. I would not say the bubble has bust but we have seen significant downward movement on issues number 1.

A very nice copy.

Oh my! We are not worthy!

My current lowly copy.
