PeterPark Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 blatant self-promoter WADR, I disagree for two reasons. First, and foremost I really don't care what others think of me. I am confident in who I am and what I do. Second, the book has sold already. (It's not like I have a stack of these to pump and dump.) I am just sharing what I think, is useful market information. Helps to see a book with more than one bidder IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the blob Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 His auctions are generally more like BIN store items although i see they sometimes get bid up beyond the initial ask. He is willing to wait to get the price he wants. It's a business model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helps to see a book with more than one bidder IMHO I price them for one bid, discounted from the BIN. I don't need to sell a book. The buyer wants to buy it. That way I avoid flippers and get the price I feel that the book is worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While this is generally a good thing (not caring about others' impressions) it can also be a bad thing, even if one is confident in his own things. I am not saying this related to comics selling, rather in general, as I believe it is often erroneously felt as a solely positive thing, while it isn’t as it depends on many factors. :shrug: As for the sales, I entirely agree with you: sometimes I have sold when I raised the price (here, on eBay I do not sell)… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which makes it essentially useless information for anybody looking at the market, just like if I find a Hulk 181 for $10, or manage to sell a Darkhawk 1 CGC 5.5 for $1000.

Quicksilver Signs Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Just goes to show how incredibly common most Bronze Age books are now matter what the hypers try to hype. If I did find that haul of Ms Marvel 1's I wouldn't advertise I had 150 copies, just sell them 1 or 2 a week til they're gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
