Buzzetta Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 You posted this in the Facebook group. I disagreed with this trade there and I will disagree with it here. I think you are leaving a lot of money on the table... as well as that extra $1000 in cash. MGsimba77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kav Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I have to agree with ol Buzz. Room for growth also greater on your books I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FineCollector Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Just tell the dude everyone you talked to about it says he owes you $500, and that we warned you the trade is unfair. That'll give you an idea what kind of guy you're dealing with. bentbryan and bug33fouf 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flamesfan1982 Posted March 11, 2019 Author Share Posted March 11, 2019 So even a straight trade across wouldn't get it done for you guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s definitely better than forking over an additional 1k but as stated earlier you’re already behind on GPA. If it were up to me I would pass.

Yes it kind of was but we hadn't worked out the logistics of it and between then and now I have heard a lot more opinions and have been given a lot more advice. I reached out to him today and expressed that I wasn't thrilled with it any longer and we are renegotiating. I feel like I've put too much value on that X Men1. But there are so many fewer of them than the books I hold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there are so many fewer of them than the books I hold. X-Men recently and finally enjoyed a price bump due to the Disney Fox deal. All Kevin Feige has to say is, 'We are thinking of the X-Men properties' and that book takes a bump. However, if I was asked what is the AF15 of the Bronze age, then without hesitation I am saying Hulk 181. That book continues to drop jaws with the price it commands. You are losing out on this deal and I would keep the high grade Hulk 181 and NOT part with it. Here is what I would do. Sell off the Giant Size X-Men 1 and start saving for your own copy of X-Men 1. I found a nice 4.5 right when First Class came out for $2,500 and it was pressed resulting in a 5.5. NO, I am not interested in trading or selling. Find a 4.0 or a 5.0 for cheaper than the money you are throwing at this guy. You asked and I gave an honest answer. In fact, I would mine your lesser books and start dumping anything that you want less than the X-Men to help fund it. Nothing is worse than long boxes of $1 bin books without a few gems to come across now and again. kav and Cat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mysterymachine Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 How much do you really have to have an X-Men #1 is it your grail book? Are you just looking at it investment wise? If it is investment only I would probably pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bejack3 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 It is very unprofessional at the least to "agree" to a deal while also saying you need to think about it. That would not get you very far at a convention or apparently on these boards. You simply do the research and then make a final decision on the deal going forward. Hell, this would be frowned upon in any business transaction. Could you imagine leaving a used car salesman with that? Bad deal but also Hulk 181 is overpriced. While there are fewer hulk 181s in higher grade, as in every book, they are always for sale and extremely common being from the bronze age. I can find a 9.2 cgc hulk 181 every day of the year on an auction house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say the two book for 1 would be a fair deal especially if you are dealing with a big seller. The extra $1,000 seems a bit excessive. Yeah I would do the trade without the 1K cash.

makeminemego Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Sell the bronze books at FMV and cherry pick a 5.5 X-Men 1 with good PQ. Just my two cents........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this wasn’t a board deal with clearly stated rules to abide by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
