Logan510 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 It seems like your whole business model is based on finding a bigger sucker than yourself. This is not a good business model. That's not my business model. My business model is to buy comics and sell for a profit. But there are times where I overprice them to see if there will be any bites or to make up for a mistake of mine or test out the market if data is old. You may not believe it's your business model, but that's what it boils down to. You're currently in the hole over $1000 after 2 1/2 years using your current business model. You make 1 good deal and then make 3 poor deals. Whatever you believe to be your current business model is not working well. You are not going to corner the market in written on / restored krap that nobody wants. You are a sellers dream in that you buy junk at GPA highs that no one else will buy.

Batman1fan Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I was out, but my emotions got the better of me. Reading the OPs posts is a lot like going to the state fair. No matter how bad off you are, you can always go to the state fair and immediately feel better about yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan. Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 That level of thinking is flawed as well who think their gonna get a 8.5/9.0 from a comic that's graded a 7.5. Is that different than buying a 2.0 and thinking you'll get a 4.5 out of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1Cool Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Gabe - you are stuck gambling at high odds with minimal pay offs. There are risks everywhere but flipping books in todays market should be a minimal risk situation but you keep making it difficult. Glutton for punishment I guess.

Out of your last 4 deals, only 1 has been good and the other 3 are not, everyone in this thread knows this except you. Do you remember how fervently you defended your "non emotional" decision to buy the DV3 9.8? How we were all wrong and you ( and your Facebook friend ) were right? Why is this any different?

Yes I don't buy the easiest books to flip and how I see it the bat 189 will be easier to sell then the asm 101. I do buy cheap comics and rare occasions though if I come across them.

Well for one it wasn't a emotional or impulsive buy I did my research on it. The asm 101 was based on my incorrect knowledge of what grade it should be however I know that by waiting I will make my money and this was a cheap buy. The bat 189 is the same thing except much better because it's a high grade key, silver age and sought after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkdrawer Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Gabe can you take this thread to a live podcast? I mean this is just fascinating. You could have people call you direct on a 900 number and the can give you good advice and then you go do what you want, mess up and take another 900 call and get that same advice again from another and you could be raking in sick Bank from the 900 line and the pod cast no doubt will be viral. Advertisers like State Farm would be advertising during your breaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious...would rather that we just shut up and read your journal? I assume that you would want advice and feedback, but it never seems to have any effect.

Red84 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 (I apparently have still not figured out how to post youtube videos) You need to try harder and not make excuses. Don't let your emotions be a reason for not figuring out how to post Youtube videos. Study the methods others have used to successfully post YouTube videos. Have you met with a guidance counselor who will aide you learning how to post YouTube videos? You win the internet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beige Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 This sums this thread up. Even the poor baby seal has more chance of making money out of selling comics. In the last week alone there have been 20 books on the boards you could have made a $10 - $20 profit on. But, like the seal, you continue to hope for the best.

I want advice and feedback but I don't like every-time I see something differently I get chewed out for it. When I'm overpaying for something then yes but when I see potential you guys don't. I did my research and I know it's not exactly what you would base it on but I'm getting a feel for the market and looking on ebay For example The hulk 180 5.0 I priced it fairly as was the advice by a few boardies so we'll see how quickly or not it will sell. So case in point you guys don't give the chances to comics I do yes most blow up in my face but in my eyes I only overpaid for the dv 3 and asm 129 recently.
