How good does a deal have to be before you just can't pass it up?

4 posts in this topic

For the most part I stay focused on what I want but time to time a deal comes up where I feel it's worth going for.

 

Usually when the price hits 60% of normal I feel like I need to go all in.

At around 80%, it requires a definite look before I go off my normal collecting habits.

For things that move fast (where I could flip within a few weeks) I'd do as little as 20%

 

For things that move slow (smaller market, more likely to have money tied up in it for a bit) I'd want a very good deal, so more like 40-50%

 

 

sometimes it's not about the % but the actual dollars... its not worth it to buy a $2 comic for $1, but if you are listing 20 different $2 comics for $1 each, and I think I can flip them easily en mass I'd do the group deal.

 

but in my scenarios this is all online buying and selling as I go to zero shows or stores.
