AndyFish Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 SuperWorld comics live on Tuesdays at 6pm is a great show, good prices and Ted keeps the variety up. They also do a giveaway for anyone attending. On Thursday’s at 1pm Jose does a shorter show for them.

It'll be better if they allowed Joe to slap Jose during the show. badback83 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Erndog Posted March 13, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 13, 2021 Would it be worth it if I continuously edited the original post by cross referencing boardies with their IG handles? Wouldnt be hard for me to update this from time to time. Is it worth it? Ex.

fastballspecial Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 (edited) On 6/4/2018 at 1:13 PM, Erndog said: So I finally broke down and got Instagram not long ago (namely because I recently had my second child and to share pics with friends) and I noticed there is a PLETHORA of comic sellers/dealers on there. Quite a few of them with really nice books as well. Sharp photos, etc. What do people think of this? Of course I know there are likely some bad apples and poor graders but that is no different than ebay. What say you all? Do you use it to buy/sell? Would you? Seems like Insta could be a really good platform for comic dealings (though I know there is no way to moderate it... yet). I find it slightly better then Facebook. I have a few buyers I buy from who do a good job grading and packing. Whats different about Instagram is alot of seller want you to pay them F&F so they don't have to pay taxes. I prefer not to give up my protection so I add some to cover their fees. I avoid live sales I find their prices overvalued many times. I don't participate in raffles and anyone how uses them I remove. Edited March 13, 2021 by fastballspecial PKJ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKJ Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 I watch several live auctions, I "try" to win several items in said live auctions but most of the time someone with some super internet speed or something beats me to the better books. For the most part, lots of the hotter books are selling for way over GPA or perceived market price. Even filler FF silver age gets snapped up quickly. The platform is pretty good. I have sold several books on there this year, and none I listed for sale. I posts pictures of some favorites here and there and usually get a few people asking if I will sell them. I sold a Camp Okajima I didn't really plan on selling because of such a strong offer. My IG id is @phillipkj4 if we are doing a registry.

Especially the ones for mega keys. There's like 16 mini raffles...Sub raffle! Mini raffle! Micro raffle! Mini big raffle! Micro sub 1! Micro sub 2! Big mini! What... in the absolute hell.... is going on? Its often spread out over weeks/months, you cant follow which posts are which, or whos in what, and what happens if someone bails? To each their own but these are mind boggling to me. Dreamtoreal1, KEY ISSUES Comics and badback83 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzetta Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 I might reactivate IG... I had great success over Facebook dividing the remainder of my GI Joe collection by a third... Been hinting at things for awhile... since November... I think this is a year of a major cull. Dreamtoreal1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I get the explanation that people are "getting a mega-key for a fraction of the cost," but they're also going to get exactly nothing most of the time they participate. Imagine reducing your collecting experience to nothing but luck. Just go to the casino. At least you get free alcohol while you're gambling.

The more raffles you play, the more you will revert to the mean. You will eventually end up with some comics that, when coupled with the losses from other raffles, you badly overpaid for. speedcake, Rip, Dreamtoreal1 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Bombastic Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I started an IG page to display my collection as a side-project during Covid. My collecting used to be a private affair, but I have come to love the IG community. I've also purchased several books from IG sellers and have not yet been disappointed as the legitimate ones are actively establishing themselves as good alternatives to online auctions. Only caveat is that I want to buy more comics, not just to own, but to feed my IG page (@hardscrabble_comic_collection) and that's getting expensive. Check out my page if you like Silver/Bronze/and some Copper & Modern Marvel slabs. Dreamtoreal1 and HuddyBee 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
