The Betty and Me 16 ain't too shabby either.

 

Agreed and at the price I bought it for there;s no way I can lose money on it

 

I'm confident that if there's a way to lose money on these, you'll find it.

 

 

Agreed, but isn't it better to lose $10-$15 as opposed to $200+?

 

That's a valuable lesson he's learning.

Not with these comics I'm 100% sure of that but on others comics I agree.

Losing 12 bucks is much better then losing 200 for sure and I've have my eyes on about 100 more comics that I can make a profit with.

There was some real gold in them there posts...

 

Agreed, but at what point does it just become sad?

 

 

Do we really need proof that water is wet?

 

I know. I hear what you are saying. I was thinking about it last night and felt a little bad for being hard on him as it seemed there was yet even more "evidence" from all the replies to questions, etc. that there may be deeper issues and challenges at play beyond a learning disability and lethargy.

 

Gabe, I really hope you have a qualified counselor or two that you are seeing on a regular basis and are getting expert help beyond the comic selling advice here.

Have you bought from the person on Comics PriceGuide before? Can you verify that he's an accurate grader?

I've purchased about 20 comics there and no there are a lot of people that overgrade so I always as for pics and if the comics have restoration or major defects and I grade it myself.

I asked if you bought from that specific person or persons before, not if you've bought from people off their boards.

The biggest problem I see is that you do what you want to do regardless of the free, expert advice given by people who've been successful for longer than you've been alive.

No I haven't but he showed me multiple pics of the comic and we both agreed on the grades.

They may not be trained but they noticed a lot of things that I wasn't aware of myself also I said I would take what they say to my therapist

What does it matter? He's going to do what he wants to do regardless of any advice he's given. Please remember, the advice is not unsolicited.

I don't know if your grading is bad. I just know from experience that looking at scans, no matter how good they are is not the same as looking at a book in hand. So, when you're buying books online from someone you haven't bought from before, there is a chance it will not turn out as well as you hoped it would.

 

That's all I'm saying, nothing against your ability to grade.
