When you see the book you underpriced immediately flipped 2 2

It’s kind of a cool piece of comic history. Promo posters aren’t exactly rare but they’re not always easily available either.

What about when you sell a Thor 165 for $8 and the next day it becomes a $100 book.

Story of my life.

It's worth more than what Tupenny paid for it.

I could care less what somebody does with a comic once I sell it to them.  They own it. I got paid with what I was willing to sell it for.   If they flip it for 10x - I say -  
I should keep up with what's going on for next time.

I find it a little obnoxious personally. I don't care if I sell something to someone and they flip it, but asking ME to ship it to the person they sold it to is something I would never ask anyone to do. 

Takes a big set of balls to do something like that.  I only ship to the address attached the PayPal account.  No exceptions. 

You know that whole, "Give a mouse a cookie..." phrase?  When you think about it, a buyer that asks you to drop ship is only one step away from paying and asking you to hold onto the book for a month or two and then asking you to ship it to whoever bought it. This way they are not only saving on shipping fees but they get free warehouse space.

What's your stance on people who list someone else's book, use words like 'cgc it' and 'looks like a 9.0 at least' then if someone pays the price that is more than the other book they stole pics from, buying that book and having them drop ship to sucker?

I’ve always been confused about  the point at which the change in status occurs. Basically the same activity.

I have a lot of them but never thought of them having much value.  I agree cool

I think that under the current de Blasio rules it’s okay to have just a little if that smaller amount is to resell to a friend or so but if you are found with a house or trunk full you are considered to be in possession with the intent to distribute or something... I dunno

 

so confusing these days...

50/50 it is worth less by the time the buyer gets it...

I've told the story before. I sold 10 copies of saga 1 here as a lot for $300. Couldn't imagine it being more than the $35 it was selling for. Took a couple of days to pack, in transit, etc. Not long afterward the buyer was successfully selling them for $80-100 HERE. Thems is the breaks. I bet wrong! Big time! Can't remember who it was...

And whoever bought them may well have CGC'd them, got some 9.8's, and then flipped them for $400 (going rate lately on ebay)...

The crazy thing is I think none were better than a 9.4 (unless cgc ignored the bottom left corner blunting that was common), maybe a couple had 9.6 in them.
