How much do you think you can sell the ASM 101 for?

 

Around 60-75 dollars

 

 

 

sold 1

 

sold 2

 

sold 3

 

 

all in that range --- all look a LOT better than your copy - BEFORE pink ink.......

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don't consider P@X as anything graded but yes you have a point, that only means I'll have to be patient.

[Guardian Comics]

 

Of course I realize that but I see that it's under-graded as imo.

 

What grade do you think it is? It looks to me like a 4.0 or so without the pink drawing on it, so I'd say Meeklo wasn't far off.

 

Yes I'm grading it as a 4.0/4.5 because I don't see anything in the grading guide that says otherwise

 

I'm not going to hold back on this post but do you have a freaking clue at all? That book is not even close to a 4.0 WITHOUT THE PINK ALL OVER IT. You've been here for years and think that could possibly be a 4.0/4.5.

 

You don't have a clue how to grade at all. Without the pink it's a 2.5, 3.0 at best. It's a 1.8/2.0 with the pink.

 

Stop wasting your money. Sell video games or stick to graded books, but you sir have no idea how to grade. If I got that book in a collection I'd put it out for $5.00.

I wouldn't buy that ASM 101 for 5 dollars,its got pink crayon all over it.

 

You changed your profile pic. Yes it does but I was willing to buy it for 30 because I will flip it and after all compared to what's on ebay now it will be the most affordable copy there.

I'm not you and also unlike you I don't value this comic at $5 nor give it a 1.8/2.0 grade. But since you're so stuck on the 2.5/3.0 grade tell me what makes it like that? What structurally do you possibly see that I don't?

I agree that with the substantial writing on the cover this grades out to be a 1.8, 2.0 at the most. Gabe, you really need to reconsider this a side job or whatever you call it because you are not only a horrible business person but you clearly do not know what you're doing.

[Semicentennial]

But.... it has pink all over it.

 

I think anyone wanting a copy of ASM 101 for 60-75 bucks could easily find one without pink all over it.

 

Possibly but there will be a few people that will want the copy I have

 

I seriously doubt this especially if you're thinking about pricing it over $60.

Examine the P@X book - structurally it is in MUCH better shape than the one you just bought - not including the VERY LARGE BLEMISH OF PINK INK.

 

P@X or not - this is what you say you will be trying to sell your book for,,,,,,

MCS has one in better shape - for 79

 

and a VG for 90.....

this one is probably more of a 2.5-3.0 - but no big pink blemish

 

 

 

 

You should be patient with your purchases - not your sales.

 

This means that you overpaid again for a book you somehow though was going to flip for double what you paid. . This research is not that difficult to do.

I disagree I may not be perfect at grading but I'm not terrible at it as you say. When I come across these things I still struggle deciding what grade they are but if if has common defects then I don't. You call it writing and I'm calling it something else maybe that's why we're apart on the grades.

Without the pink I would grade it a 4.5. However, this book is covered in pink ink and even has the word "SLAP" written in pink. You're not going to be able to sell this book for $60. If you had a store and could put it up on display with a price tag of $50 you might have someone buy it based on impulse. You're not going to sell that book online for what you want to get.

I did do the research before I bought the comic but there's still one thing left, the fact that we're apart on grades because you say it lowers it from that much all the way to a 1.8/2.0? The pink coloring?

no matter what you call it - the book has pink ink all over the cover. Several locations. Lots of it. Stands out like a sore thumb. This is bone-crushing to the grade - and to the desirability of the book.

 

This book is pretty common - and not a big first appearance by any means.

 

I hope you at least got a deal on shipping...........

 

 

[AJD]

Yes!!

 

Think about it - what grade do you give it without the pink? Now deduct a couple of points.

Ok, let's go with that. So you have a 4.0 SA in your grading world. What's your estimated value of a VG, and what discount do you apply for the resto?

 

You know what? Put me on the 'out' list. Sayonara.

Color touch up basically enhances the appearance of an otherwise lower grade book to appear like a book in higher grade. So in your opinion, the pink marker on the cover makes it look like a higher grade book?

in less than 10 minutes - I was able to find three books that sold in the price range you think you can "flip " this for - and all were better than your book without the ink.

 

I was also able to find a couple in this range for sale - that are better.

 

Exactly what research are you doing? - what I was able to do - required ZERO grading skillz - just being able to compare was enough to see that this is not a flipping opportunity.

 

 

[uchiha101]

Yes!!

I don't know because what I'm thinking is right isn't
