Thanks I have my eye on a few copies

 

I'm tempted to say something sarcastic because you seem to have missed my point. But instead I will be direct: My point is that you overpaid. Again. I'm not saying the value won't increase, but how much do you expect the value to increase? Enough to make that buy worth it since you overpaid. Have you done any basic comparative trend analysis with similar books? Do you even know what that is or how to do it? What makes you think it will be worth your investment for the price you paid? How much did Strange Tales 126 go up with the 1st app of Clea and Dormammu in that grade? Or a similar book like 1st app Collector?

 

Do you realize that you still live in Canada which means you probably paid more for shipping to get the comic and will probably have to charge more for shipping to sell the comic and that reduces your realizable margins on BOTH ends? Especially since you already bought it about FMV?

 

Please stop buying comics, you will lose, and continue to lose until you get professional help for your issues, more education, or a full time job. Please stop assuming you'll 'figure it out' and 'learn as you go'. Has anything in your life been successful that way?

Its like thinking you can play hockey other than the fact that you can't skate. You WILL NOT LEARN HOW TO SKATE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GAME. There will be occasions where you take a few steps in the right direction, but you'll either fall or get knocked down over and over and over. Which is not to say there isn't some amount of honor in continuing to get up after falling, just that its no good to anyone, including yourself. And people yelling from the sidelines won't help you skate any better either, no matter how well those people skate.

Please note that 'skating' in this scenario IS NOT BUYING AND SELLING CHEAPER COMICS OR COLLECTIBLES. Skating is gaining either through work (like at a job where people pay you) or education (organized school) actual business and analytical skills that will help you make logical, reasonable, basic, economic decisions. Learning to skate should not occur in a competitive environment, so that you can fall and get back up without real consequence.

 

As always, I'm sure you will ignore this advice because it doesn't fit your fantasy narrative of how you think your life will be greatly improved if you could only string together some consecutive flipping successes. As if going to a yard sale and pulling a $500 for $5 magically makes you good at math or gives you better hygiene or cures your learning disability. All it would do is make you overconfident leading to more poor decisions. You keep thinking its just about a couple hundred dollars in losses, but its really about your decision making abilities, which impact not just your wallet but every part of your life.

 

To answer your question all the comics you've mentioned have been shipped to my friends address which will save me money since the buyers are in the states. Yes I've done some comparing with listing that have sold in the same grade and go from 20-60 bucks. I know I have a lot to improve on but I'm working at is and yes I'm sure you're tired of hearing it.

 

I want to point out that with Aphra it's been going as I said so far, the cheaper comics will sell to be replaced with more expensive copies which they will sell when the time is right. I'll also say that I did get the timing wrong but only by a couple days unlike last time but that credit goes to my friend.

 

I'm curious, can you show me where they've sold for $20 to $60?

158 is probably a better choice than 157. Although for someone in your situation with your budget I wouldn't advise buying either, especially in that low of a grade.

If you're not mature enough to make that decision for yourself clearly you're not too old to go trick or treating......

Do you realize that you still live in Canada which means you probably paid more for shipping to get the comic and will probably have to charge more for shipping to sell the comic and that reduces your realizable margins on BOTH ends? Especially since you already bought it about FMV?

 

Please stop buying comics, you will lose, and continue to lose until you get professional help for your issues, more education, or a full time job. Please stop assuming you'll 'figure it out' and 'learn as you go'. Has anything in your life been successful that way?

Its like thinking you can play hockey other than the fact that you can't skate. You WILL NOT LEARN HOW TO SKATE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GAME. There will be occasions where you take a few steps in the right direction, but you'll either fall or get knocked down over and over and over. Which is not to say there isn't some amount of honor in continuing to get up after falling, just that its no good to anyone, including yourself. And people yelling from the sidelines won't help you skate any better either, no matter how well those people skate.

Please note that 'skating' in this scenario IS NOT BUYING AND SELLING CHEAPER COMICS OR COLLECTIBLES. Skating is gaining either through work (like at a job where people pay you) or education (organized school) actual business and analytical skills that will help you make logical, reasonable, basic, economic decisions. Learning to skate should not occur in a competitive environment, so that you can fall and get back up without real consequence.

 

As always, I'm sure you will ignore this advice because it doesn't fit your fantasy narrative of how you think your life will be greatly improved if you could only string together some consecutive flipping successes. As if going to a yard sale and pulling a $500 for $5 magically makes you good at math or gives you better hygiene or cures your learning disability. All it would do is make you overconfident leading to more poor decisions. You keep thinking its just about a couple hundred dollars in losses, but its really about your decision making abilities, which impact not just your wallet but every part of your life.

 

To answer your question all the comics you've mentioned have been shipped to my friends address which will save me money since the buyers are in the states. Yes I've done some comparing with listing that have sold in the same grade and go from 20-60 bucks. I know I have a lot to improve on but I'm working at is and yes I'm sure you're tired of hearing it.

 

I want to point out that with Aphra it's been going as I said so far, the cheaper comics will sell to be replaced with more expensive copies which they will sell when the time is right. I'll also say that I did get the timing wrong but only by a couple days unlike last time but that credit goes to my friend.

 

I'm curious, can you show me where they've sold for $20 to $60?

 

They're ebay sold listings

I'm not seeing it. At least for your stated grade range (G+ - G/VG).

 

I was talking about 126 which is what I was basing what the 157 will be close to eventually

 

So 126 is selling for $20 to $60 in your grade range and compares well with #157?

Good luck but I don't see it.

Please stop buying comics, you will lose, and continue to lose until you get professional help for your issues, more education, or a full time job. Please stop assuming you'll 'figure it out' and 'learn as you go'. Has anything in your life been successful that way?

Its like thinking you can play hockey other than the fact that you can't skate. You WILL NOT LEARN HOW TO SKATE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GAME. There will be occasions where you take a few steps in the right direction, but you'll either fall or get knocked down over and over and over. Which is not to say there isn't some amount of honor in continuing to get up after falling, just that its no good to anyone, including yourself. And people yelling from the sidelines won't help you skate any better either, no matter how well those people skate.

Please note that 'skating' in this scenario IS NOT BUYING AND SELLING CHEAPER COMICS OR COLLECTIBLES. Skating is gaining either through work (like at a job where people pay you) or education (organized school) actual business and analytical skills that will help you make logical, reasonable, basic, economic decisions. Learning to skate should not occur in a competitive environment, so that you can fall and get back up without real consequence.

 

As always, I'm sure you will ignore this advice because it doesn't fit your fantasy narrative of how you think your life will be greatly improved if you could only string together some consecutive flipping successes. As if going to a yard sale and pulling a $500 for $5 magically makes you good at math or gives you better hygiene or cures your learning disability. All it would do is make you overconfident leading to more poor decisions. You keep thinking its just about a couple hundred dollars in losses, but its really about your decision making abilities, which impact not just your wallet but every part of your life.

 

To answer your question all the comics you've mentioned have been shipped to my friends address which will save me money since the buyers are in the states. Yes I've done some comparing with listing that have sold in the same grade and go from 20-60 bucks. I know I have a lot to improve on but I'm working at is and yes I'm sure you're tired of hearing it.

 

I want to point out that with Aphra it's been going as I said so far, the cheaper comics will sell to be replaced with more expensive copies which they will sell when the time is right. I'll also say that I did get the timing wrong but only by a couple days unlike last time but that credit goes to my friend.

 

I'm curious, can you show me where they've sold for $20 to $60?

 

They're ebay sold listings

I'm not seeing it. At least for your stated grade range (G+ - G/VG).

 

I was talking about 126 which is what I was basing what the 157 will be close to eventually

 

So 126 is selling for $20 to $60 in your grade range and compares well with #157?

Good luck but I don't see it.

 

There is a big difference between #126 which features the first appearance of Dr. Strange primary antagonist (Dormammu) and major Strange supporting character (Clea) and#157 in that the Living Tribunal is a little used cosmic entity type character.

 

I think when comparing ST #126 to ST #157, you are trying to draw similar comparisons between two completely different books, one features major characters integral to the Strange mythos and the other, does not. You KNOW Dormammu is going to be the big bad in a Strange movie at some point.

 

Don't get me wrong, ST #157 is a nice silver age book to have with a neat first appearance but I doubt it will light up. A slight bump? Sure. Something though to make it worth your while to buy and sit on for a long time? Doubtful.

 

Where did you get this tip that ST #157 was going to be a hot book?

Where did you get this tip that ST #157 was going to be a hot book?

 

His friend, who is sometimes right but usually kinda always wrong except for the couple times he was right, may have inferred that a random issue of Strange Tales was going to be a hot book at some point in time when a movie announcement, that may or may not be about the Living Tribunal, is made which means that ST 157 is a guaranteed winner so now is the time to overpay for copies that can be found cheaper on ebay.

Gabe-I'm not sure if you're kidding or not, so, were you actually planning on going trick or treating this year until your mom told you not to? Just a simple Yes or No will suffice.

Gabe does not joke about being told to not go trick or treating by his mean mom!
