uchiha101 Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 Maybe Morbius is supposed to have pink hands and Gabe has the only original copy left in existence. That would be the best printing error then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Pontoon Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Why sell anywhere else Gabe. You have a captive audience. Anyone else want that Batman 189 (slight restoration). That Hulk 180 was a fair price and I got no bites so I listed it elsewhere. You pulled it out of the sales forum less than 24 hours after you posted it.

Indeed I did, that was because even though boardies said it was a fair price I didn't even get one question. To be fair I do know you need to make a profit on comics but I know not everyone is a dealer here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman1fan Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 You're a riot, Gabe, old chap. Not only do you buy horrible books to flip, but now you're wasting your (admittedly near worthless) time actually thinking up how to brag about it if and when you sell them. Notice, I didn't say "for a profit", just "sold them". Even if you do manage to sucker someone with less comic savvy, or any savvy, for that matter, than you (if such a person even exists, which I doubt), what will you have accomplished? You might make $30-$50 profit, maybe, on both books, after you've spent umpteen hours listing them on eBay, Facebook, kijiji and who knows where else. That's smart. By the way, the village just called... No I will brag about comics that you "pros" say I can't sell because to me that means I've seen something you haven't. Also I really don't spend much time at all on my comics after I list I just wait till someone asks me a questions or makes a offer. I've always kind of wondered why you rarely ask for advice on specific books here before you buy them. I think I understand it now...you think if you ask you will be revealing "secret" information that the "pros" here would jump all over and steal your market away. Don't worry, I doubt anyone here will be jumping on the "pink variant" or restored, mid grade semi key at GPA high market anytime soon bro. No it's about making a profit and comics you say are a waste of time and won't make money. I hope you make a profit, because that would be better than what you do 80% of the time. I just think you could use your money better on finding sure things as opposed to gambles that have minimal return. But hey, I'm not even a "pro" and you seem to have it all figured out Agreed the majority of my comics I've bought have been losses. Think about that for a while. If you bash your head into a brick wall 100 times, it hurts every time. What makes you think number 101 is going to be any different? Three reasons I bought it cheap It's a key There's always a demand for it Just like 80% of your other purchases that you lost money on. What's your point? The point is that this wasn't a emotional based buy like all my other comics in the past have been. The tires on my truck have a better grasp of reality than you do. A bad purchase is a bad purchase. It doesn't matter if it's based on emotions, advice from the tooth fairy or, God forbid, actual research. How much money do you have to lose before you understand that? I do understand that and that's why I've been making better choices of what I'm buying though most don't agree No one agrees because your not making better choices. The Hulk 180 was a lucky fluke. Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn every once in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan510 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Gabe - Would you be willing to sell me the ASM 101 book for $40? You'll make a nice profit % wise and you can post that you made a profit and move on. I'll deduct it as a charitable write-off. This is a serious offer, what do you say? (I'll cover shipping of course) If that's a serious offer then yes Good. I will PM you my info.. Classy move.
