Lazyboy Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Micronauts #8 continues to roll. Why are you sorting by highest listed? Very misleading, like someone pulling up a chart of NFLX stock 6 months ago. Not highest listed, highest sold, and not 6 months, 90 days. The most important sales are the highest ones, not the ones that fall through the cracks or poor listings. Ohhhh, all sales are important data points if they are high enough. There are no outliers unless they are too low. Now I get what you've been saying all this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, all sales are data points (especially those "low outliers" if you're a tight-azz buyer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most important sales are the highest ones, not the ones that fall through the cracks or poor listings. I'd say the most important sales are the mode, or what passes for it, as anyone can get a deal or made a poor purchasing decision. If you really think the high results are what's important, then the recent sales of Turok #1 at $6 and $4.50 means that the speculators from the '90s are actually going to make money on that, and we know that that isn't going to happen. What's a "mode"? And have you ever sold books? It's a pretty common mathematical term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand your train of thought; hopefully you have a qualified professional handling your investments and you're not doing it on your own.

namisgr Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I know Manbat #1 isn't one likely to be heating up. An E-Bay seller was offering at auction an unopened shipping package containing 300 of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most common value that a book has sold for is going to provide a good guide as to what you should expect to get for it, or pay for it. Now, if you're very patient and don't particularly care whether a book actually sells, then maybe the highest price point matters in that it provides a guide as to what someone who is not paying attention to average prices might overpay for a copy. But I imagine one would make more money (from selling more books), by referencing not only the highest price (paid by one person who now has his book), but rather the prices that people are commonly willing to pay.
