Canadian Comic Cons--which ones? Opinions needed!

Don't slabs sell poorly at most shows? (unless they're the keys of keys)

 

What are you doing up at 4:11...a little wake and bake perhaps?

 

I've sold slabs at shows before, I think most of the problem is many don't know how to price them (at CDN shows) I've seen WD #1 priced in 9.8 for 5k, MOS #18 9.6 for $250, 8.5 ASM #300's for $550, just absolutely ludicrous prices.

I got a PS4 and it has severely affected my sleep schedule.

DWL, thanks, appreciate that. I will certainly let you know.

 

I think slabs do sell poorly for me as well Jimmy, but I don't have enough experience doing big shows to know.

 

Jim, all those CGC books you quoted the prices of, those were mine...

But I hear you about slab prices, and it's usually pretty true. I actually set up at a smaller show with one box of slabs (moderns, and new moderns especially like Black Science and Sheltered), and priced them at $45 Canadian. I actually sold 3 (big deal I know, however some of them moved and I felt pretty good about getting some money back anyways).

 

Thanks again guys,

Jay

I do very well with slabbed books, to be honest.
