Just cant wrap my brain around so much Billy Gold being flipped so fast ...

I think folks would be surprised how many books flip auction to auction. Easier to distinguish pedigrees but the billy books are par for the course

 

Hey Rick, I wouldn't be surprised, actually I find it fun to see how me books have made a second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, ... appearance in auctions. From my observation, I would say CLINK followed by Pedigree have the most repeat appearances. I wonder why that is hmlol

(tsk)

 

Books won but not paid for ? (shrug)

 

I don't know for sure but suspect these reappearances are for several reasons not limited to:

1. flippers flipping

2. eyes were bigger than wallet folks

3. I saw something prettier and have to have it now folks

4. Auction fluffers - if an auction does not have enough good stuff, then it gets back filled with some good stuff that isn't intended to sell but "fluffs" the auction.

I can pretty much guarantee that NO one drinks more coke zero a day than me ...3 L is child's play:

 

I wasn't aware I had answered before....I typically don't answer questions that directly impact my buying and selling (like the 8.0 R tec 168 value question a few pages back)...

 

generically, I will answer anything...but if it specifically has bias to me, I refrain for obvious reasons (thumbs u

Oh, i understand but am 99% sure you had answered. Your answer was that AllFlash Quaterly was the most likely GA book to decrease in value. See, I EVEN REMEMBER YOUR ANSWER!

 

And 3L per day is child's play?! Whoa, what are we talking here man? You need an intervention?

:gossip: FYI, While All Flash is a dead title, there are probably other titles that have more downward potential. Don't get me wrong, All Flash is definitely a title that can see where Jimmy Hoffa is located, but there are several more that from a percent and raw dollar amount will see worse return. One thing important to remember is just because a certain title is dead and has not real upward potential for making money doesn't mean the books aren't cool. A lot of the Fawcett books have just plan cool covers on them. Compare them to a lot of The Batman covers and there is no comparison (and I collect The Batman !).

 

:foryou: I owe you a coke zero Rick !

So if you were going to collect a title on life support, what would it be. Batman and Tecs are so hot right now you can get third degree burns when attempting to bid.

From your signature line, looks like you are collecting Silver Age Flash. Silver Age Flash is cool. I love most of the covers. How much upward potential does it have? I would say not a ton, but the covers are really cool.
