Meeklo Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I have been talking with joeypost about this thread in PMs. I offered Gabe to ability to back out of the ASM #101 if he wanted. I told him if his intention is to flip it for $60-$75, I would not recommend buying it. There is no way this will sell for that much. He has decided he wants it anyways.

Your price was perfectly appropriate given the grade. It is not your responsibility to help the buyer who's sole intention was to try and flip your book.

W16227 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Nice! How much are you going to try to sell it for? I concur, this was a very good deal. I'd like to see a lot more of these and less of the emotional buys Thanks people don't believe me when I said I'm changing. Changing anything about your personality isn't something that's done overnight. More of these deals will happen. Actions speak louder than words. You've said this before and since then you've purchased the DV3 and the ASM 101 pink variant...and have admitted that both of those might've been mistakes. Stop talking about it and just start doing it and stop being so damn defensive when people are trying to help you. The asm 101 because of the grade I thought it was and the DV 3 I bought the day of hype which was a mistake. OK, don't do that again. Not just that - you need to change how you BUY books. If you bought the ASM 101 for yourself - the price might have been a little high, but not over the top outrageous - as long as you personally did not mind the ink. For resale? - not even in the ballpark. The research I showed you - you could have compared books instead of trying to assign a grade and come to the conclusion that this was not a flipper price. DV 3 I bought the day of hype which was a mistake the correct statement - DV 3 I bought a hype book because of the hype. Seriously - you need to stop chasing hype books. The people that benefit from hype bump ( if there is any) - are the ones that bought the book at a low price point and have them in stock. If you try to chase after the fact - you are one of those making $$$ for others. A test for you - buy analysis...... Pretend you are looking for an ASM 7 as only a reader (for yourself - not for flipping) - so you decide to purchase a cover-less. research the two listed on ebay and get back to us - what did you find and what actions would you take? this should be less than a 10 minute exercise.....

DR.X Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I just went and looked at a collection of beat up, mid grade Power Pack books. I think if I press the living pee out of them I can flip them for a profit, and I"m not ashamed to talk about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
