Dealer changing the price

[wombat]

Curious - did you end up selling it at the new price?

I noticed the thread was pretty long, I seldom often on the site, a friend dealer made me aware of the thread,but I felt its necessary to do so in this case,

 

Im not asking anyone to choose sides here, But I think it was fair to give my side of the story on how the story went down.

 

Also some posts seem to mix Major Comics with Comicage, we are 2 different exhibitors.

 

Thanks

Raw VF-VF+'s sell for about 400

 

I sold a raw VF FF #45 for $650 8/15, had it priced at $750 so I'm not sure where you are pulling this price out of.

Well to be fair you weren't at the booth for the initial talks and you priced a raw book at slab prices-that doesn't look good

[blazingbob]

If I were to do a buyers rating/ranking I would note that you are intimidating to sellers.

 

If you were nicer I'm sure he would have sold you the book.

 

I'm not sure attitude would have anything to do with it-he seems to feel the book is worth 800

VF+ slabbed sell for 925$ according to GPA.

Your book wasn't slabbed so I would suggest you stop quoting GPA prices for it

Perusing sold listings on ebay I saw several like this:

Raw books and slabbed books sell for similar prices all the time. There is no delineating line.

 

The tighter the grading of the dealer who is selling the book, the more he is going to get for his book.

Now I'm not going to name names but someone in this thread has received naked pictures of me through text because they didn't answer there phone...

 

I would just like to say that I went through all of these books. Anyone that thinks I wouldn't have bought a first inhumans for $300 in VF+ is high.

Someone hit the BIN. Could have been an ungraded book that sold too cheap. It's not conclusive enough.

You Canadians are a funny lot.

I don't care one way or another,if it went down the way the seller said then okay.Personally I would laugh in your face and buy one from Blazing Bob instead.

Yup, that's a VF/NM Ebay listing with that nice big crease along the bottom staple.

 

What's the Ebay - rule 3X the real grade these days?

 

God I hope you don't grade like the listing you just posted.

I think a scan of the book is in order now-Venom says 6.0-6.5 and he's not a complete dolt

$800 for a FF 45? I guess every Marvel really is a key now.

FK is intimidating?

[wombat]

So how does a book get priced at $300 when it should have been priced at $800? And would you have sold it for $300 if he initially just wanted to pay full price?

So maybe Oscar is grading 3X real grade???

LETS SEE THE BOOK

[blazingbob]

Based on the new post the only person who should be upset is the guy who tried to do the cash/trade deal.

 

Instead of getting cute he should have walked up, looked at the book, paid the $300 and walked away with the book.

 

Then we wouldn't be having this discussion and Major comics would have been talking to himself that he priced it wrong because he hasn't been keeping up with the hot movie books which is the bottom line to all of this.

 

Same thing has happened to me when all you "Forum guys" nail my website for 3 of the same book.

 

As if I don't know what you are doing.
