Wolverine43 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Have you ever bought a comic or magazine and asked yourself, “did I overpay, did I get a good deal?” Well welcome to the forum that allows you to ask that question and allow the comic community to give their thoughts, opinions and ask questions. Lets find out together did you overpay or did you get a great deal !!! Keep it classy and I’ll be kicking it off shortly , I am one that has buyers remorse so, I’m hoping to get some feedback that I got some really great deals .

theCapraAegagrus Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 I do a lot of research before throwing my cash around, so I don't recall ever having to reflect on a comic purchase. Sometimes I'll ask myself, "was I too impatient?" Wolverine43 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilskip Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 It all balances out. There are some books I overpaid for (and God only knows why, as I sure don't) and others I've gotten for pennies on the dollar. I try to look at the times I've overpaid as a lesson. As Capra says, research is the key. I do get real skittish about books that are out of my "financial comfort zone" and try and do as much research as time allows before making a decision. If there isn't a lot of time, say an auction close to ending, then I have to go with my gut. The big question I have is the book worth the asking price to me. If it is a holy grail then I may jump on it and forget about the price. Wolverine43 and theCapraAegagrus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allthingskryptonite Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 All the time. Last week I won a CGC 9.8 modern book in auction for $130, whereas the GoCollect FMV was $190. So I did my research. Today a copy sold for $100. And the first question I asked myself, "Did I overpay?" Wolverine43 and djzombi 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolverine43 Posted January 18, 2021 Author Share Posted January 18, 2021 Great conversation all around. Yes Research is key and than the next day follows, usually I just have buyers remorse or guilt. Than I get over it . You do bring upa good point though about being impatient, aren't we all . Keep it up guys . I just grabbed myself a FF# 48, 49 & 50 . Once I get cleaned, pressed and graded, we will know if I overpaid or not. As of right now, i am thinking not !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bird Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 ugh yes, often especially when I was collecting original art! Walk away from an artists (eg Mike Mignola's) table $3K lighter and wonder if you would have paid that much from a dealer everytime on comics yes of course as well. I am being very disciplined the last few months in pursuit of a unicorn but we will see how that works out Namtak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairless Wookiee Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 About a month ago I bought a 5.0 signature series X-Men 94 signed by Chris Claremont for $700. The kicker though is that's its a PGX. So I probably overpaid but the way that book is climbing I don't have regrets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendelbo Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Over the years, at the time, Yes. Now, almost without exception, all were bargains, even as recently as a year ago. JasonTodd69 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
