the comic book question of the day thread 0

[jsilverjanet]

so there are some questions that come up that probably don't need their own thread but it would be nice to see or get some responses on.

The only rules are, one question per day, the question needs to be comic related (no wut wut in the but but) - I doubt either rule will be follow but who cares really

So here's my question

When you buy a comic online (eBay) and it arrives with a sticker price on the bag that is lower/higher than you paid, do you think "I overpaid/underpaid"?

It depends if the sticker is affixed to the book itself or on the bag.

Just messing with you, Janet.

I've had some comics show up with the sticker on them. I was a little sad when that happened.

no impact on me.

It depends on the gap between what they paid and what I paid, as in did they make a Yuuuge profit or a reasonable one.

A lot of times it could be the price from when it first came out, other times the gap isn't too far for me to feel bad.

There is that rare occurrence when the time is a factor and the lower sticker doesn't bother me, any other time a little

Sorry, for clarification is it one question per day or one question per person per day?  I thought the latter but didn't want to assume.

The thing I remind myself is that price tag could be from years ago... 

or from previous owner (I still have some price tags on books from previous owners just cause Im lazy....)

+1

There's no way of knowing how old the price sticker is (unless you're talking about a very recent comic) so I don't give it much thought either way.

Doesn't usually bother me, especially if I didn't make a lower offer before buying it.

[masterlogan2000]

As a seller, I usually swap out the bag with the lower price that shows I made a killing.  What do I swap it out with?  Naturally, I place the comic in a new bag with a sticker that makes it look like I took a loss.

Two boardies.  Two wasted questions of the day. 

[jsilverjanet]

one question in the thread per day but it doesn't matter, every thread gets derailed eventually

Whatever number is on the sticker is not the price. The price is what was paid. Whether or not a buyer feels he got his money's worth for the item received is the important consideration. The price on the sticker can represent a look into the past, near or distant, or a price so ambitious that it would never sell for that even 20 years from now. It could even be a switched bag if the seller ran out of fresh ones and the sticker doesn't peel easily. To me, the price on a sticker is a moot point.
