CBT Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) Interesting. Raw sets are hitting as high as $200, yet they can be pieced together for well less than that. I noticed the same thing with a lot of the New 52 DC runs as well. I guess selling sets is the way to go? Saga 1 9.8s are selling for $150+, so if there is a 9.8 candidate on there, its not surprising. Also, 1x shipping versus 6x shipping to do them each solo, PLUS trying to actually win all 6....that's a lot of shipping and assuming. some people are willing to pay to get'er done, and they arent really off the mark by much. What will happen is, if there are ways of piecing it together cheaper as you say, they will sell out, or be re-priced. Al that being said, post the links, are these actual sales, or BIN prices hoping for a sale? Edited January 9, 2013 by CBT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimik Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) Here are the Saga sets I came across from the past few days: http://www.ebay.com/itm/SAGA-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-1st-print-set-8-BRIAN-K-VAUGHAN-FIONA-STAPLES-SOLD-OUT-/170969879417?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item27ce995379#ht_484wt_1428 http://www.ebay.com/itm/SAGA-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-1st-print-set-7-BRIAN-K-VAUGHAN-FIONA-STAPLES-iMAGE-COMIC-/360551969473?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item53f29272c1#ht_2063wt_1191 http://www.ebay.com/itm/SAGA-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-Complete-Run-NM-All-1st-Prints-BRIAN-K-VAUGHAN-Unread-/300842501352?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item460b9c44e8#ht_475wt_1428 http://www.ebay.com/itm/SAGA-1-2-3-4-5-6-NM-1st-Prints-BRIAN-K-VAUGHAN-FIONA-STAPLES-CA-UK-SHIPPING-/261148965671?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item3ccdb0fb27#ht_898wt_1428 Looks like as a seller, setting a BIN at $150+ is the way to go now for Saga. As far as the DC New 52s, I put up one of my Batman #0-13 runs (after snagging a replacement set on the boards) at what I thought was a high price and had it taken with the BIN for $169.99 within 12 hours. The shocker was someone else taking my Action #1, 2, 4 & 5 lot for $19.99 on the first day it was listed. Then again, that is nothing compared to this sale: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BATMAN-7-8-9-10-11-12-13-Annual-1-1st-print-lot-SNYDER-new-52-Capullo-2-xtra-/121047719959?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item1c2f01a017&nma=true&si=7WgV8pPvuqp2Jw6VSGhicGEneuM%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557#ht_1205wt_1161 My to the seller!

Al that being said, post the links, are these actual sales, or BIN prices hoping for a sale? It's an interesting situation I've noticed on the Bay and the boards (or comics in general). Usually, when a collector buys several comics from a single seller, the buyer wants/expects a discount. But if you are the seller putting together a run, shouldn't the buyer pay more for a set than individuals as they buyer now doesn't have to visit or buy from multiple locations? Basically, everyone expects to get the best deal and sometimes the two never meet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chi Bamm Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Usually when selling as a lot, you're not going to get premium value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krighton Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 i'm not a big fan of selling lots...but then again that may be the only way to get rid of later issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimik Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I have tended to sell individual books in the past, but right now it looks like sets are bringing a premium for whatever reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N/A Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 So sets (1-8?) are hitting $200 and #1 1st prints are about $150? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krighton Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) well i don't think anyone is selling a CGC set for $200. Still that seems way off for a 1-8 since #1 raws are around $50 Edited January 10, 2013 by krighton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N/A Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Oh gotcha CGC 9.8 #1's $150 Raw sets 1-8 $200? Yes, that's a little crazy. I prefer to sell single graded books. Since I stick with only a few titles I do end up with runs that I will sell raw. As for the earlier comments on pricing for boardies, a seller needs to be happy with the sales price. Otherwise it's starts feeling like a favour and eventually maybe looking for a favour in return. I like it to be mutually beneficial. Eliminating eBay fees allows a buyer to get a deal while a seller still gets more in their pocket. Win-Win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimik Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 well i don't think anyone is selling a CGC set for $200. Still that seems way off for a 1-8 since #1 raws are around $50 Agreed, but check out those prices for raw lots I posted above. I am noticing the same thing with some New 52 DCs as well - sets fetching a premium for whatever reason. I had someone BIN my Batman 0-13 + Ann 1 for $170.
