no, since the 28th and over the next few weeks.

 

I saw a couple of the earlier sales when I was making my buys on 21/22, part of the reason I cleaned out a couple sellers who had more than one (save on shipping).

 

Collected them on and off for a couple years and didnt like some of the price action on the Tan variant. Hate that the Venom one got sucked into a craze, felt pressured to make sure I got more before similar nonsense happens to other ones. Certainly didnt want to contribute to it lol

 

For instance, one my purcahses:

 

http://www.ebay.com/itm/172378058873

 

That's one of the ones I bought, and I see one two "sold" in the week since my purchase from a shill account for 3x as much:

 

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Marvel-Journey-into-Mystery-Variant-Comic-Cover-Mint-650-only-400-made-/152322206609

 

and now someone is offering it for a cheap 17x what I paid:

 

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Journey-Into-Mystery-650-Variant-1-50-Marvel-Comic-Book-400-made-NM-Thor-/262733233346

 

 

That's a great example BIN shilling. That $65 is bull spoon, and anyone who even considers paying $350 is a raving lunatic.

 

I bought it at $25US a week ago, with multiple available, and no one interested. Ebay shilling is outta control.

 

 

Cool to see these books get some love. I adored this run and bought every variant and regular issue as they were released via DCBS. Sitting on a minty fresh complete run, but unless the prices get, like, truly outrageous, I'll probably just hold onto them, since they're so purty.

The venom cover nonsense spiked that one to the moon, but the rest are still pretty reasonable. Looks like the shills are starting to try to pump the Sif ones sadly. I've got multiples of everything but love adding to my collection.

 

If you ever want to sell your run (excluding the venom), shoot me a PM.

Will do, but I think these are keepers for me. Big Sif fan, really enjoyed the storyline, and just generally loved the design, color palette, and everything else about this run, both the regular and variant covers. But if I decide I need some cash, I'll hit you up first!

If you had a $50 gift certificate to your LCS and had to spend it all at once, tomorrow, what comics would you buy & why?

 

Because I totally have a $50 GC to a LCS that is gonna expire in 2017, and I don't want it to go to waste. It's just that I don't do much in the way of buying new comics at all these days.

 

Any answer is acceptable. PM me if you feel you need to.

 

:)

 

 

 

-slym (might just hang about the shop one day & pay for a few people's purchases)

 

I would buy a Marvel Masterworks or DC Archive volume.

...although this book hitting $110+ in the last 30 days in a 9.8 is noteworthy in its own right.

Wow.....

 

A.) that site is garbage and everything on it is BS

 

B.) Keep the BS off of books I actually collect, shill up things I dont actually enjoy

 

C.) I hope the people posting in this thread about both the books in that garbage post had nothing to do with writing said garbage post.

 

D.) I'd tell you what I really think of cBSi but I might get moderated.

 

E.) Might have to do an n00b-protection-anti-cBSi-shilling blog, and post here showing real sales data everytime they try to pump and dump something.

how odd all of this interest in Journey into Mystery variants all of a sudden. Sif is a powerhouse, top 5 character for sure.

 

Would it have something to do with an article on some website lately?

 

I bought a bunch of them 7-8 days ago (on the 21st,22nd) as its a series I have collected for years, and apparently they were some of the watchers on them(each book had multiple watchers on them),then they bought a bunch after me thinking there was "heat" coming, and are now trying to shill them

lol Guess what ?

 

I didn't even see that.

 

But if a book is "heating up" (again, the point of the thread , right? right??) it should be no surprise if other people notice it (even if it's before us).

 

Although it's nice to know I would have good instincts if I were to ever try to sell a comic book. ;)

I feel sorry for new collectors that are taken in by some of these sites.

 

Scratch that. I feel sorry comic book readers who get taken in by some of these sites.

 

my favourite JIM variant hasnt been caught up in their BS yet (its not Venom, and not Sif). If they ever point their BS beams at my favourite, I will genuinely blow a stack.

 

They made a mistake trying to pimp books I literally bought a week ago. I have all my purchase history, and watches still on the other copies available at that time that I didnt purchase. (including ones that completed without sale)

 

All these $99+ sif variants are complete and total cBSi shilling and were not there at all on the 21st. Only the Tan variant had one grossly overpriced for sale, which is obviously where their buying started earlier in the month, which seeing those completed sales is what caused me to pull the trigger on all the rest.

 

We are talking $7-$25 dollars max, per book, a week ago. Now a bunch of them are listed at $99+

 

total cBSi

Essentially, its a comic book pyramid scheme lol

 

Top of the pyramid buys some books with low print run that no one is interested in and can be gotten cheap.

 

Then they announce it to the "members" making up the second tier, by talking up and pushing the books.

 

The second tier then lemming buy all the remaining affordable copies off ebay creating so called "heat".

 

Then both tiers list the books at absurdly high prices and come announce here that its "heating up" to the bottom tier, on these boards.

 

Then they wait for guppies to bite on the overpriced listings and scream, "see look", at the completed sales.

 

Likely, some of the bigger scumbags swimming in these circles will also produce fake sales if the real sales dont come.

That's really spot on better then I could have summed it up.

 

I really hope new collectors read this and take it to heart.
