Sellers vs Buyer 2 2

[Shadow Images]

Maybe its just me but there seems to be more sellers than buyers now. Not just on the board/groups but also seeing it locally. Tons of crazy sellers who know nothing about what they are selling. Listings that sit for ever, including hot or key books.

Did the bubble finally pop?

If this is the case, unfortunately (for buyers) I personally don't see this reflected in the prices books are selling for.  Doesn't seem to be creating any downward pressure at least in the genres I collect.

I don't see many sellers locally but I definitely see a ton of people on Facebook or Craigslist who list "collections wanted" over and over.  I set up at a small Con a couple weekends ago and had only 2 small collections offered to me so there is definitely not a glut in the Cleveland area.

Many sales threads on the boards are "wham, bam" and done (i.e. sales thread closed, all books sold, maybe a few stragglers moved to feebay).  Depends on pricing, mostly.

The internet has created a platform for many more amateur sellers, yes.

Wham, bam and done?  Or more amateurs?
