Would you SELL you collection if a billionaire wanted to buy it?

[delekkerste]

In my OA (original comic art) collection, there are pieces I would sell for FMV (fair market value) or less and others that I wouldn't sell for even 10x FMV. If, however, someone wanted to buy my entire collection without exclusion, I'd say a 2.5x FMV offer would get me thinking about it, while 3x FMV would be difficult to turn down, thinking about what else I could do with the cash .

 

Anything less than a 2.5x offer would be a flat-out no way; I've put far too much time, passion and effort into assembling the collection and I'm sure that, over time, the regret wouldn't be worth the immediate monetary gain.

My collection is so huge he better have a boat load of $$$$$.

 

He'll have a great collection but he's going home broke.

 

 

BTW; I like the comics you have posted along the bottom. Especially the Raceway comic. Funny stuff. Good one. (thumbs u

Billionaires don't buy comics and they never will. They are too busy running multinational conglomerates, despoiling family fortunes or figuring out how many custom islands to build in Dubai. They didn't read them as children because they either weren't around or they were too busy perfecting whatever skills made them billionaires.

 

There may be an exception or two to this, but this is and always will be the rule. Comics are made for and enjoyed by middle class kids. We may end up doing very well, but very rarely become billionaires. Shaq collects comics. He is rich. The guy who signs his paychecks doesn't collect comics. He is a billionaire.

No way.

I was lower-middle class; does that mean I can be a billionaire?

 

Oh wait, no I can't. I picked the wrong profession for that.

Q - Would you SELL you collection if a billionaire wanted to buy it?

 

A - Yes.

 

[alecholland]

You don't have to be rich to buy my collection. I'd sell it to anyone, billionaire or not, who would be willing to pay guide for all of it. (thumbs u
