oakman29 Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Yes, I made a trade once. My F.F.52 that I've owned since 1972,for a Werewolf by night 32 and a Marvel Premier 15. Four months later I bought it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmcneil82 Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Pre unity valiant......twice. Wolverine mini, but I've since bought it back. We need a thread for "Buy a comic and regret it right away?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantalien Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Adventure comics #431 IT was originally a swapmeet find and I spent my last buck or two on it and my dad wouldn't let me have any money to get the next 3-5 that were in the comic box. It took me 10 minutes to choose #431 because of the cover art. I sold it when I first joined ebay YEARS ago. I actually sod a lot of things on ebay at first because it was easy money at the time and I was just learning to drive so I wanted money. Adventure #431 is the one I miss the most but these are other issues I sold at that time... The X-men #3, #6, and Superman 3-D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Cool Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 (edited) Wasn't me but watched a buddy trade a Star Wars 1 35 cent variant for a Secret Wars 4 when it came out. Who knew. Edited November 22, 2015 by 1Cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAMBIT Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 I think most can relate to the OP in someway or form. The longer you wait to re-acquire the ASM 129 the harder it will be, especially now, with the punisher about to get pretty popular again (netflix etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciorac Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 so many books I can't count them. probably 1 out of every 4 that I've ever sold. Artboy99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakman29 Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 so many books I can't count them. probably 1 out of every 4 that I've ever sold. That Action run you owned would have killed me to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelangelo Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 go out and buy the ASM 129 now - it's not going to get any cheaper... it's one of those books that is going to see a steady increase - always buy whatever grade fits your budget today and don't look back .... I can't say I regret selling any book because the money from those sales went to something I wanted more... I do, however, regret not buying many books!

Buzzetta Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 I almost did that today. I actually photographed and researched a price and wrote out the thread to sell my complete X-O Manowar series (current). The problem was that I realized how much I enjoy reading that as it comes out each month. I didn't click the submit thread, deleted the page instead and came here to tell about it.

This (However, I do wish I'd held on to that Iron Man 55 and Batman 251. Could have sold them for so much more) I do, however, regret not buying many books!

drotto Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 (edited) I sold most of my old X-Men about 3 years ago. I had from about 40 to 544 continuous at one time. I do mildly regret it, but now I would rather have them back as high grade, rather than the mid to mid high I sold off. I also sold Saga 1 about 2 years ago, I am not a big fan of the series so do not miss it from that standpoint, but do miss the extra $100 I could have gotten. By the way, I find it even harder to sell of OA. Edited November 22, 2015 by drotto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirbyJack Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Scads of em, but the one that hurts the most was trading away a VF Sgt. Fury 1 when I could have got the same value from the mid grade run fillers I had with me. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzetta Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 I am always reluctant to sell off OA since I know that I will never see it ever again. Only once have I lost an auction for OA and seen the page turn up again. (I lost it again as well) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 3 or 4 OA stuff I am agonizing over selling. I would love the $$ to buy other things, at the same time would I miss it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
