Copper's Heating/Selling Well on Ebay 33 33

[divad]

Don't question it, just sell it

This.

 

Don't buy the tulips. Sell the tulips.

 

Sell the tulips.

[Kevin76]

Sell it all! Everything has a price!

[aggr1103]

The Scalped #43 situation is a great example of how boardies can move markets.

 

This.

[Broke as a Joke]

The only genuine hype is in movies. All this other stuff is laughable. IMO

[MrWeen]

This point is completely valid. If Livewire demand was being driven by fans of the character, who want to own and read her appearances, SA 22 shouldn't have been skipped over in the recent jumps in price and demand.

 

It's an Internet hype fuelled gold rush.

 

That's silly. A sale still needs to be consummated. You naysayers don't understand a free market. (Nor do you own any HG copies of these books).

 

Yea, they are just jealous

 

 

The SA 5 is a 9.8.

 

That said this character and book is exactly what 500Club said it was.

 

 

Nice to see a number 4 in there

[MrWeen]

I'm saying that the information is readily available for anyone who wishes to seek out appearances of Character X or whatever else they want. If people actually cared about early appearances of Livewire, they could buy them or even start bidding wars for them without the need for hype.

Focus.

 

We're not discussing whether sales are occurring. We're discussing WHY sales are occurring. It's an upward spiral created by a sequence of greater fools, as fingh outlined earlier in the thread. The only question is: who is the last in line?

 

And, having been involved in equities for fifteen years, I'll gladly match my knowledge of markets and market forces against yours, especially if you embrace the specious third grade level argument that naysayers must simply not own the books.

 

If you think the rise in prices is indicative of a sudden intrinsic value in the character or stories then you must think the Dutch really valued tulips in the 1600s.

 

 

So which Livewire appearances do you own?

All of the SA ones, as I had all the DC adventures titles on my pull list.

 

Seriously, though, arguing naysayers must not own the books is ridiculous, as is the flip side argument, which is to accuse the folks arguing for the book as pump-and-dumpers.

 

So are you saying that no percentage of naysayers exist who would try to cool the market value of the book because they missed the boat? How can you know that for sure?

That is nearly irrelevant. It is infinitely easier to pump a nothing book than it is to cool down a legitimate book.

Does one exist? Yup, there's a chance. Just ask Lauren Holly.

 

This book is a recent phenomenon, though. Instead of expending effort on trying to cool it, I'd think someone who missed the boat might just hit LCSs to find one.

[Lazyboy]

Nobody has missed the boat on Livewire. All they have to do is visit any boarding dock except the one all the insufficiently_thoughtful_persons are occupying.

[Kevin76]

I don't understand why people are so mad over this book taking off? If things like this make you upset, maybe it's time to leave the hobby?

The guy who only cares about money and not about comics telling people to leave the hobby. Funny.

 

I'm not sure how pointing out questionable hype and market manipulation equals being mad.

You all sound like your mad, it is what it is, Why is Deadpool popular? Cause that's just the way it is! You don't have any control over what's going to take off and what isn't. I can't stand Deadpool, I don't see the appeal with him walking around with spider-man eyes but he's popular. Just deal with it.

[Jeffro.]

As much as he can be an irascible jerk, Kevin is right. Stuff gets popular, deal with it. Do the reasons really matter? Do your best to profit off of it, if that's your desire.

 

It's not like exploiting the new hot thing is anything new under the sun. Business savvy people have been doing it for thousands of years.

This arguement is irrelevant because it is based on a logical falicy, instead of attacking the arguement with a well reasoned arguement of your own, you are attacking the person claiming they are biased with absolutely no proof. Missing the boat might explain why someone makes an arguement against the book but it does not address the arguement itself.

Amazing Spider-man 252 is heating up, and will be on fire after spider-verse in November starts. Black suit will be back for awhile!

[it's an Internet hype fuelled gold rush.

 

Exactly, and let the fools waste their money - that means less $$$ on real books that I might want to buy.

[joe_collector]

So are you saying that no percentage of naysayers exist who would try to cool the market value of the book because they missed the boat?

 

No, but I would say the percentage of such "brainless malcontents" is extremely low, like less than 1% of 1%, since they have no monetary reason to do so. Time is money, so only a fool would waste it without a payoff.

 

On the other hand, of those mass-hyping the books, I would estimate a very large percentage of those do have a stake in it, through available books they want to sell. It's just the nature of the beast, and this whole "haters are trying to ruin my sales because they're jealous" fantasy you're promoting is pretty freaking crazy, even for the CGC boards.
