That's correct but like I said I'll reveal how much I paid for it after I sell the comics because what fun would it be to spoil the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not going like I want because people keep selling it cheaper then it should be going but she has a lot going for her. Remember how I said she would get her own toy about 6-8 months ago? Well she did and I heard a rumor from some insider friends that's she a jedi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is it because the speculators mover on to something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aphra is definitely up there and has many things going for her but at the same time interest is waning and it's causing people to panic and selling for cheaper then they should. Finally, money if someone buys it cheap and gets any amount their going to pump and dump which brings down the average but having them still make a profit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's panic selling but rather panic buying which resulted in the higher price for the book and then settling back down. FOMO is what caused it to go up and then back down. Sellers are dumping this book because it was a turd for them and moving onto the next book. If the character was as good as you say then interest wouldn't be waning.

It's waning because spec sellers can't profit off of her now. I agree that it's still holding demand and it was at a few points in time going into the higher figures and as high as 250 before people were losing interest, prices were dropping and people were panicking. What's FOMO? Well she has her own separate series, her own toy, marvel's first original character in a while, low print run, and a possible jedi and bisexual.
