Watchmen prices? (Raw)

[HouseofComics.Com]

What are these books selling for right now, at shows or stores? I'm interested in raw prices. I see that Mycomicshop and Mile High are sold out of many of the issues, including #1s. 1986 is generally too "new" for me to be up on prices but I still have all the copies that Don Thompson told us to buy back in the day.

I sold a set on ebay a few months ago for about $125 or so. Most were in the 9.2 range but one issue which was lower.

I know ebay prices have been good but am most interested in show prices or are they even readily available at shows?

I was talking to one of the other dealers about this at the last Boston show, and he commented that he is actively selling decent copies for about $10 each across the whole run.

 

I had a nice NM- average run I sold to chainnball last year for $40. Yes, should have held onto it a bit longer...

$10 at a show is what I was thinking but online retailers like Lone Star seem to going for $20.

Lone Star has VFs for 9.60 btw.

I picked up 2 different copy's from another dealer and our show this past weekend for $5 each, which I intend to put up for $10 each.

However, how many zillions of copies will be present at Wondercon this weekend?

[HouseofComics.Com]

I really wonder, as it seems like they've all been auctioned off on ebay already.

Watchmen # 1's in nice solid vf+ to nm, as in solid books but you arent going to slab them, are the easiest book on the planet to sell at $20 each at shows.

 

I am surprised at the lowball numbers listed on thread, for months now they have been as easy to sell as a Wolverine # 1 at $20 each.

I think the window of opportunity is closing though. There are probably more high grade copies of this book in existance than a lot of us realize.

Sold 3 sets last month for the following prices. I think I sold these too cheap, but I got them all for less then $90.

 

VF+ Set - $125

VF/NM Set - $140

NM- Set $160

There was a window last year where the sets were approaching $250 per set due to a small shortage in San Diego. I predict a bump in about a month to last for a month or so then they will deflat slowly too many tpbs out there now.

Five years ago I was buying piles of Watchmen books (I ended up with a longbox full of high grade copies for less than a $20 outlay) from a guy on Ebay.

 

I was, needless to say, happy to learn of the movie's development.

Thanks guys--I appreciate the ebay stories but especially the show reports. It will be interesting to see how many people have them at Wondecon this weekend and what the prices are.
