I saw a ASM 300 at the last show (book is pretty common) for $2600 CDN (check currency exchange) and he would go down to $2450 might circle back for that 

Its the most popular book at any larger show. You can negotiate a good price especially on a Sunday.

I only trade with dealers I know well. I've been on the losing end of trades, and on the winning end, and everywhere in between. I find trading more fun than just handing money over. 

To piggy back off this a bit, I also only trade with dealers I know well.  Usually an easy transaction with little back and forth.  I’m realistic in what value I can get and they are fair with their pricing.  That being said, most of the time, straight cash homie.

It cost so much to get into a show that I would just rather spend $30 on a mag from EBay these days 🤔🤔🤔

Depends on whether you view shows as strictly venues to purchase comics or social gatherings that also happen to have comics.

This is a good point because my GF is coming with me, and I have yet to convince her to start buying comics but I hope she enjoys this experience.

Well youre trading old books for new tho.

You know you are old when you consider a book from 1983 as new.

I suck at trades though.  I would always second guess myself and would never be at ease. 

 

 

 

I feel the exact same way.. never done trades but have been thinking of using my double copies as trade material but then I always will second guess myself and never be at ease...
