....gotta say, it is getting just about absurd around comic land these days, with all these "investment" questions, and hopes and dreams and such...

 

there is a way to make money in comics, and it is a closely guarded secret only known to very few... I wonder if I should offer a course (for a substantial fee, of course)..

 

hm

 

Will there be recess? Do you have monkey bars?

Wow G.A is really being mocked for this idea. There are already plenty of courses that teach people how to make money outside of comics everything from How to private label to sell on Amazon, Selling ebooks on Kindle, How to monetize a blog ect... Why not one for comics? Why not one for sports cards or coins? Mention money and comics in the same sentence and hardcore collectors roll their eyes but the truth of the matter is that we all want our books to sold for more than what we paid for it. This hobby is very divided and each side doesn't like the other sides opinion. Fan/Reader vs the Reseller/Investor. Neither is wrong.

WRONG! I want to be buried like an Egyptian pharaoh, surrounded by my comics and statues. "Sell" does not factor into the equation.

 

...and I want a life-sized Captain America statue with my face on it mounted above my headstone. :grin:

I've been trying to not put my two cents in, but I will butt in anyway.

Rick is probably the best person to front an endeavor like this,his qualifications are immense.

Sure does beat all the millions of YouTube videos that preach bad advice.

Go get em Rick. :headbang:

As long as the "Ask Gator" thread is running, I'm not paying for a master class. Why buy the gator when you can get the gator milk for free?

 

(Please don't actually "milk" Gator.)
