My road to success (Moving Update 2) 8 8

[uchiha101]

Yep. Get rid of it and get money back into your pocket.

 

As others have said (countless times) in this thread, stop trying to hit the big home run. The deals are harder to find on the bigger stuff. Most everyone is going to want at/near top market on those. It's hard to quick flip something you bought at top market.

 

I did a small, local show yesterday with a buddy. Near the end of it I decided to take a look around the room. I dug thru a few boxes and found the following:

 

Aliens #1 (1st print) - $5

DKR #4 - $10

Xmen 248 - $5

 

Not going to be buying a new car with the profits, but I should make a decent return on my $20. These are the kind "flips" we've been trying to encourage you to look for.

 

You're hoping to break even on your $800+ purchase. I shouldn't have any problem doubling (tripling) my "investment".

 

I've tried that a couple of times and ran into a few problems

 

- If it's online shipping must be cost effective since I usually buy from the states

- I find something on kijiji people want me to drive for it and they want top dollar not listening to the fact that I can't buy it at that much

- I found a couple good comics at a shop before and he took out of my hands and said he couldn't sell it for that price because "They're hot" and I knew that of course but it's his fault that he messed up.

 

I have done that a handful of times and I had great results in most cases but at lot of the times it's misses

 

So I'll list a couple examples of little comics I made a profit on.

 

Archie comics bought for 25 sold for 100

ASM 101 Bought for 55 sold for 75

Free comics got for free sold for 18 bucks

IM 305 Bought for 7 sold for 12

X-Factor 5,6,15,18, 23,24 bought for cover price and sold for a total of 135

FF 67 Bought for 8 bucks sold for 15

Strange adventures 180 bought for 23 sold for 55

 

For those that are going to ask yes this was all calculated after fees and shipping

 

 

now list all of the losses......

 

look at the list - so many low purchase books with flipping potential.....

 

 

FOCUS ON THESE LOW COST HIGH % RETURN BOOKS

 

 

 

Here are my losses and if you have any questions just ask

I have more profits I made too but I only showed small comics I made profits on

 

Gabe, did you copy and paste this from a spreadsheet?

 

The spacing is screwed up and even going through it line by line I still have no idea what some of these entries mean e.g.

 

"Giant Size X-men #1 Buy $355.38 Sell $-335.38"

 

Does this mean you lost $20?

 

Or

 

"Marvel Super Heroes 12 Buy $110usd Sell $0"

 

Does this mean you've still got it?

 

There are a lot of nice folk here trying to help, but I'm afraid you don't make it easy . . .

 

I think you figured it out

 

 

I was thinking he got scammed out of a few books so they showed up at zeroes. I don't see the ASM 129 in the list so I assumed he kept the books unsold in another spreadsheet.

 

Those NG JLA 1 and Bat 4 are killers.

 

Comics that have a zero in front of them are comics I have yet not sold I only left the infinity gauntlet at a zero because I had a hope I would get them back. Yes The JLA 1 and Bat 4 were terrible purchases

[uchiha101]

The BA #12

 

BA 12 Buy $834.15 Sell $820

 

Was this one you bought raw and then you didn't agree with the grade? Did you think about pressing that one too? I seem to remember some discussion about that...

 

Are you also including cost of having books shipped to you in your costs or just the cost of the book itself? Does the resell price take into account the eBay and/or PayPal fees?

 

The BA12 you see on there was the one I didn't agree with on the grade and yes everything was already calculated into the price including shipping, return shipping, paypal fees and so on.

I have more profits I made too but I only showed small comics I made profits on

 

 

You're right I should have explained. Anything with a zero is something I still have and anything with a negative sign it front of it is something I lost money on.

 

Gabe, that doesn't make sense. Anything with a negative sign is something you lost money on?

 

What about: JLA #1 CGC NG Buy $210usd Sell $115

 

if you bought it for $210 and sold it for $115, then you lost money, and there is no negative sign. Most of the entries are like this. Only 7 entries have - signs, but all 28 are losses, no?

 

If you mean what I think you mean then books you lost out completely on should look like this (In Gabe formatting):

 

Giant Size X-men #2 2.0 Buy $21.72usd Sell $0

 

If this is your bookkeeping technique it's amazing that you're not deeper in the hole.

 

You can't sell something for $-21.72

 

[Kenners]

I totally agree with chrisco37 .. get several of these types of deals under your belt (and ONLY do these types of deals for a looooooong time) and hopefully you'll start seeing profit.

 

That makes it sound like forever and maybe hopefully making a profit. I realize I'm not starting in the best of ways but I don't ignore a good deal if it's small if I think I can make money on it I buy it.

 

It will take a long time, but .. so what? .. you WILL make money. Please don't let this be more sound advice, which you'll choose to ignore.

 

If that's true why did you make it sound like I "might" make money on it?

 

.. because the way you handle sales, who can tell? Sorry if it sounded hard, but .. what can I say? .. Your track-record hasn't had a trail-blazing success rate.

 

You need to stop thinking that you can do better than seasoned-Professionals who have been doing this for decades (please don't tell me that you don't think that, otherwise over 3 years (if you had followed advice) you would be hugely in-profit by now.

I'm guessing it is just poor book keeping on his part. I do like the fact that the various Bronze Age books sold for $125 which is exactly the amount he spent but that got a negative.

 

Use Excel and keep track of how much you bought the books for, what you got for the book, your fees and expenses for the book and you can easily calculate if you made money or lost money on it. Hopefully your losses will be far between from here on out.

Yes the jla 1 was a loss but I don't want to confuse that by putting a negative sign in front of it but when you do see it it means that I lost money out of pocket or got scammed. The giant size x-men is -21.72 because it got lost somewhere when I moved and since I didn't sell it I put a negative in front of it.

It may be confusing how I calculate things but I do understand it and that's why I said you can ask questions

[Semicentennial]

Why not just list the price you sold the book for instead of putting a negative in front of the price? What does the negative in front of the GS X-Men #1 indicate? What was the selling price?

[Wall-Crawler]

The accounting is haphazard to say the least.

 

So, for this book:

 

Betty and Veronica #320 7.0/7.5 Buy $470usd Sell $250

 

So, on this book you LOST $220 USD? Is that right?

 

According to GPA, there was one sale for $283 in 2015, that's it...Why the heck did you pay $470? When did you start using GPA and other sources to determine FMV?

He also had an CGC 8.5 so the buy price could have been for that. Either way he lost money.

It means I lost 100% of my money since that comic was a scam

That would be correct and I started using gpa about a year and a half ago but went without if for a while and I used ebay to determine how much to pay but there weren't many sales.

According to GPA, there was one sale for $283 in 2015, that's it...Why the heck did you pay $470? When did you start using GPA and other sources to determine FMV?

He also had an CGC 8.5 so the buy price could have been for that. Either way he lost money.

 

Yeah I did have a cgc 8.5 but that's after I got it pressed and cleaned.

 

You got the B&V 7.0/7.5 pressed and cleaned and then it was an 8.5 is that what you are saying? Or are these two completely separate books?

The accounting is haphazard to say the least.

 

So, for this book:

 

Betty and Veronica #320 7.0/7.5 Buy $470usd Sell $250

 

So, on this book you LOST $220 USD? Is that right?

That's a lot of effort to expend just to lose $220.00. Just say in'.

[Semicentennial]

Why not just list the price you sold the book for instead of putting a negative in front of the price? What does the negative in front of the GS X-Men #1 indicate? What was the selling price?

 

It means I lost 100% of my money since that comic was a scam

 

So you paid for the book and the book was never delivered and the seller never refunded your money back?

Does the buy price of the B&V 7.0 to an 8.5 of $470 USD include the cost of pressing and grading?
