Can we work out a lease agreement? I'll lease for X months at Y dollars and then return it to you at the end of that period :-)

 

Wouldn't you also have the option to buy at the end of the leasing period?

No, you are confusing a lease with "rent to own" (which is also an option. ;)

Honestly, there is no definitive answer on this. I have some other stuff in CLink, and if it does well, I might not need to sell this book. On the other hand, if the auctions go poorly, I might be more willing to accept the offer on the table. It could go either way.

The $/point concept always intrigued me. I think Rick started the whole thing lol

 

it breaksdown if you go beyond a couple grades (e.g., 0.5-2.5).....higher grade copies will be much more. jmnsho

 

So Joey - to clarify - are you saying that it is hard to apply price per point for mid grade and above?

I think there are definite curves to it:

 

0.5 - 1.0: Typically sell far above "average price per point" as cheapest entry point for collectors (always more competition at the bottom)

 

1.5 - 4.5: This is the sweet spot of "price per point" comparisons

 

5.0 - 6.0: More often than not, still adhere to "ppp" - but, in some cases, are actually a bit softer as these grades often fall in to "no-man's land" - too expensive for mid-grade collectors, not nice enough for high-grade collectors

 

6.5 - up: Outperform "ppp" as "high grade" books that command a premium.

Years ago I wrote a long "article" about my price per point concept , for ospg. It somehow didn't make it into the book (email got misfiled or something) and I never submitted another
