uchiha101 Posted October 1, 2016 Author Share Posted October 1, 2016 I could be wrong, but I don't think he draws connections between things that seem obvious to most of us, even when they are pointed out to him. And so obviously he wouldn't assume others are making those connections too. Could be a disorder, could be good old fashioned lack of sense, could be willful ignorance. Or a combo but what can be done? He will never be successful in selling comics without those connection-making abilities, but he will never accept that truth without those abilities either. Will he listen to and actually heed advice about building a healthier and stronger body and mind and image? Preferably also while building personal and professional skills and financial security? Did you get better at math today? Did you improve your memory? Did you run farther or faster? Did you watch YouTube to learn better dishwashing technique? You KNOW you're behind in nearly every phase of life and that you'll have to work harder, are you improving yourself each day? I don't mean searching for deals, playing video games, or reading about how the US president murdered your puppy. What makes you better than you were yesterday? Not that anyone MUST improve, but you claim that you do, you claim to have goals. Take some business classes Borrow some library books to stretch your brain Read some books or magazines that smart people read Do some push-ups, jog a mile. Use YouTube to learn some skills. Learn a foreign language, it strengthens your brain I'll answer this first. Yes I have trouble with things that people think is obvious because it's not to me or I wouldn't ask it's something most take for granted. In terms of math I did some calculations with two comics I might be buying. I used to read a lot buy haven't in the last two or three years, I took business classes in high school and college, I haven't worked out in about 7 years if you're taking about things like gym sessions. I do know another language other then English You're buying books again? What are the two you're considering?

Wall-Crawler Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Timely to present discussion. I was at a flea market this afternoon. Unfortunately, no good buys. I just happen to take pics of these books for a laugh. I think this seller subscribes to Gabes style of pricing and selling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wall-Crawler Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Op is selling a cover less asm 7 on fb for $150 with top left corner of the book chopped off Meanwhile, blue cgc 4.5 on eBay for $253 OBO that hasn't been bought yet... Might consider different pricing strategy With all due respect to the OP I can't imagine that book being worth more than $50-75 So when you come out with an asking price of likely more than two times fair market value it doesn't do anything to instill or create buyer confidence Or assist with seller credibility Ok but I don't understand what credibility has to do with this unless they would think I'm trying to rip them off? It's a OBO and right now I'm testing the waters to see if I'll get any offers for it. I like to think the questions being asked are comig from a child but I know that it's coming from someone in their mid-20s. So sad... I don't think it's sad to ask about something you're not sure about I may not be as smart as you guys but at least I'm trying. It's sad how a 27 year old can't figure out how over pricing a book can impact their credibility as a legit seller. You seem very sure of your pricing methods and it makes total sense to you however your prices don't make any sense for the reasons mentioned by the other posters. It seems like you're hoping to sucker a new collector in over paying for your book just like the seller did to you. Gabe, the market for that book is going to be very, very difficult. Overpriced books can be a big turn off. Being at the high end of GPA is one thing but books that are in the stratosphere, like yours for this mangled, coverless ASM #7 just make legit buyers/collectors laugh or scoff and move on and if you don't think buyers make "mental notes" of sellers, you are wrong. You are showing this inexperience over 8 FB pages too no less. LISTEN TO WHAT GATOR IS TELLING YOU. Also, I am not surprised to see that you did not listen to my advice about cleaning up your online presence. You still have My Little Pony and far right American political stuff on your FB page. Seriously, you are CANADIAN. WTF? Share if "You Think (Obama) Wants Civil Unrest to Disrupt the Election" - Are you out of your freaking mind? Also, what is with this "Meninist" ? Your rant against Emma Watson was the icing on the cake. She has accomplished more in 15 minutes than you have in your entire life. Get an education. Or, at the very least, understand that excessive posting of social/political views online, generally not a good thing. As an employer, if I saw your online postings, your application would be going straight to the garbage. I don't like her views and feminist logic so I'll leave it at that. I know that the comic book community is small don't get me wrong but I also know that you can ask whatever you want because it's your comic and as you said they'll just scoff and move on, that said it only means I'll be sitting with a overpriced comic and with what gator told me I said that I would change the price after the weekend if I get no bites. I hear what people are saying about Gabes online activity is not necessarily going to impede his ability to get a job due to his present situation but it COULD and it still shows a lack of maturity and understanding of how you project yourself to others matters. It is "nice" for you that KPR bailed you out and did not prolong your suffering with the ASM #129 CGC 8.0 but based on your ongoing attitude and excuses I don't know how many bridges you have left.
