Logan510 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Inventory Update Total Comics Bought $11,048.55 Total Comics sold $10,424.16 Inventory $1448 Loss $624.39 Not yet sold: 27 Comics Lost on: 28 Big Comics VS Little Comics Comparison Little Books Bought $2455.12+247.01+699.53=$3401.68 Sold $4007.43+1679.24=$5686.67 Losses $1079.43+637.19= $1716.62 Profit $568.37 Big Books Bought $5329.03 Sold $2340 Losses $2989.03 Dear God - your basic book keeping skills are heart breaking. Please explain your math on the little books section. $3,401.68 bought and $5,686.67 sold but you had $1,716.62 in loss but $568.37 in profits??? This is what really matters: Total Comics Bought $11,048.55 Total Comics sold $10,424.16 Inventory $1448 If your numbers are correct then it looks like you will be up $823.61 when you sell the rest of your inventory. This is assuming your sold number has subtracted fees and all cost to sell the books. I'm assuming the inventory number is what he paid for it...who knows what it'll actually sell for. I think most reasonable people would come to the conclusion that after 3 years and being in the red, that it might not be the best business for them. But even if he gets half he will still be up compared the loss he keeps talking about. But I do agree being up a couple hundred dollars after 3 years and $11,000 in sold books is so low I'd have not thought possible. I forgot to agree that his book keeping is odd to say the least. If everything works out for him ( and it's safe to say it won't ) he'll have invested 11K to make around $800, not to mention the time invested. I'm no investment guru, but that doesn't seem awesome to me. No it's no and I've made a lot of mistakes but I am moving forward that's what matters. I think your definition of moving forward and mine are slightly different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan510 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Getting a handle on your emotions and impulses is not suddenly going to upgrade your business acumen. This is not going to change your inability to barely grasp anything but the simplest aspects of flipping This is not going to change how it appears you need your hand held virtually every step of the way. This is not going to change how you ignore most of the good advice given you. And it's not going to change the fact that you're just plain bad at this.

Any idea how much the rest of your books (inventory) will sell for based on previous sales? About 500-750 Well on the high end you have spent 3 years as an unpaid intern in your own comic book selling business and the low end you have paid a few hundred dollars for the experience.

I'm looking this from a physiological standpoint while you're focusing on time, money and energy spent, maybe it's because you're not me and I know much if affects what I've been doing but trust me there will be a difference when I get a handle on emotions and impulses. Wouldn't it make more sense to get a handle on emotions, impulses, and other life situations FIRST? So you don't lose money at the same time? And if that does not make sense to you, do you think you're exhibiting symptoms of an addict? And if you are exhibiting symptoms of an addict, shouldn't you seek treatment for that? Its like those football players (NFL) who keep getting busted for weed use. Yes, plenty of people use marijuana frequently for fun and therapy, and have no problems with it. Many don't get addicted, they function normally, no big deal. But when YOU KNOW you'll lose money and your job if it don't stop and it starts costing you $$ (them millions, you much less) and you STILL won't stop, you're addicted (or insane). And for someone who already has mental, learning, and emotional problems, with few financial prospects for the future, little education, no financial resources, ANY type of addiction can CRIPPLE you, especially one that can cost you money that you cannot afford to lose. And yes I get that you want to believe that you can control it, that you just need a few big scores to break even, maybe that you can stop whenever you want, you just choose not to. But those are all common things an addict says. Or maybe you think that it's not THAT harmful, nobody else gets hurt but you. Which might be true. And if you accept that, than fine. But if you truly want to improve your lot in life AND get better at dealing comics, you'd be better served improving literally (not figuratively) EVERY OTHER PART OF YOUR LIFE FIRST. Nothing else will change your station, not a few lucky comics scores, not an American election, not your boss offering you 5 more hours a week of work, not meeting the woman (or man) of your dreams, nothing. You have to want a better life and a you must work five times more than the next guy, which may or may not be fair. But while you're pondering the fairness of the situation or using your limited skills and money to 'gamble' on comics, the guy next to you is studying, doing pushups, and working hard. How many successful dealers have you talked to find out how they started? Does that even matter to you? Should it? Why or why not? What work have you done on yourself to make yourself more hirable for a comic book store or dealer? Gotten in better shape? Practiced your sorting speed and skill? Become knowledgeable about comics that might be popular? Can you make and defend recommendations of things to buy or read? Practiced your data entry skills? Studied the price guide? Learned about the key issues for all the major characters? Are you very comfortable with customer service? If someone came in with a short box of bronze or copper comics, how long would it take you to assign a value to the box, what steps would you take? Howabout running a small business in general? Have you improved your math, business, or excel skills? Can you do profit/loss analysis in your head? Have you improved your memory? Organization skills? Are you detail oriented? NOTE that not everyone does any or all of these things, but they also don't want what you want (or at least claim to want, sounds like you just want to win lottery after lottery after lottery without putting in the work).

uchiha101 Posted October 3, 2016 Author Share Posted October 3, 2016 Getting a handle on your emotions and impulses is not suddenly going to upgrade your business acumen. This is not going to change your inability to barely grasp anything but the simplest aspects of flipping This is not going to change how it appears you need your hand held virtually every step of the way. This is not going to change how you ignore most of the good advice given you. And it's not going to change the fact that you're just plain bad at this. It won't upgrade my business acumen but I think you're missing the point, the majority of my losses are from my emotions and once I get a handle on it I will be in the green or very close to it that I can promise you and since you like examples I'll give you some I wouldn't have bought or overpaid for GSX 1 $355 JLA # 1 NG $210 Bat 4 $223 Betty and Veronica 320 $470 Infinity gauntlet's 9.8 x5 and 9.6 x2 $985.60 X-men 266 9.6 graded $337.50 ASM 129 CGC 8.0 $966 Total money saved $3324.10 So when you tell me my control of emotions won't help things I have to say I disagree This post is disconcerting. This sounds like you are blaming all of your bad choices on a vague concept of "emotional problems". What happens if you get a handle on these problems and still make poor business decisions? If I do they'll be far and few in between to be honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously? Yes because you're not taking into account how much of a impact my emotions really have so I gave some example and since you were talking about time and money that would have been almost a 30% roi so 10% a year which is what stock investor usually aim for if not more. Yes I have. Your emotions don't make you have a bad memory or make you lazy or make you discard expert advice. But I'm missing the point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
