The market place is way too big to change it - its a lot easier for me to change. The keys books sell quickly for a premium and they sell in droves. I still post up high grade copies of non keys books but I may get a couple sales a week so no point in bringing up those outlier sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Less Blob Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 3 hours ago, 1Cool said: I wish! I'm now in the process of pressing and cleaning the best 20 of them and we will see how they do. I love the cover so I'll not be sad if there is a dip in price and i have to hold them until the first couple promos. I thought you had half a long box, or is that donut? A guy had two at a yardsale last weekend, but he had them at $15 each! As I have about 5, no need for more as I doubt I could get him under $5.

I've got about 45 copies right now but even if they shoot up to $40 a piece I'm a long way from retiring on them But considering I've probably got $150 invested into them all I'll take that score any day.

I think there will be a ton more ups in the future that I can be ready for. I don't think this will be as big as Eternals 1 but I like the long term prices over the next 2 years. A ton of mine are nice high grade copies that I'm working on getting ready to submit so that is my 1st priority right now. Unlike Thor 339 which had 2 weeks of fame I think this one will be around for awhile. Edited September 25, 2019 by 1Cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me get that $$$ NEW HIGH Shanna the She-Devil #1 CGC 9.8 $950 And, before someone asks, they are talking about having The Savage Land incorporated into the MCU. So I would expect this and others like Ka-Zar to go up. It could also be a way to cross Devil Dinosaur into multiple properties other than just the TV show. divad, MR SigS, zosocane and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Cool Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Sweet baby Jesus that was fast. I got a pulse that Madame Web was getting a film and now every copy of ASM 210 has been bought up. Literally 10 minutes ago. I can't imagine madame web being a good movie concept but what does it matter - buy, buy buy! divad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

divad Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Interesting note: if you sell on eBay using the auction and make offer format (vs. the Best Offer format) the final sale price is not accurately posted in the sold prices index.

Which, of course, means that some of the data is incorrect and using the sold data as a guide (for either buying or selling) is specious, at best.
