Missed the window to sell MOKF run? 0

[serling1978]

I've decided to take on a big venture and start a new run so I'm looking at possibly selling off my full MOKF run for a little cash. This includes Special Marvel Edition 15 raw, approximately a 7.0 - 7.5.  Seems like the movie is being widely predicted to tank from what I've seen so I'm wondering if it's too late to sell and make decent profit now that the movie is about to drop to not so much excitement. I really wouldn't want to sell for under $1500 which may have been possible months ago but not looking so good now. 

Just curious on opinions. Basically weighing if it's best to just sell now assuming it will continue to lose value or wait and see if the character picks up some steam and will have a future in the MCU and gain value. 

As far as the run I'm looking at starting, also probably terrible timing... Looking to build a Journey Into Mystery run. I currently have JIM 83 and 85 so the hardest two are out of the way at least I guess. I don't see the JIM books dropping anytime soon though so no real benefit in waiting to start.

I don't think you'll get $1500, but I would sell now. Prices are still way up since the beginning of the year. If you want to hedge your bet, keep the MSE 15, and sell the rest of the run.

Just my 2 cents. I am not a financial adviser.

Looks like I got my answer from an ebay auction that ended tonight. Seller listed his run as being NM (that never happens on ebay right?) and it went for $1226.  A lot of my run fillers are definitely not NM. Guess I'll just keep them unless the value magically skyrockets anytime in the next few years.

Why wouldn't you list it for the price you want to sell it for?

I can't imagine the pain of selling a full run on ebay and have someone argue over the grade of every book and looking for discounts.

I will sell something at a loss if there is something in the wings of greater interest. Selling something I paid $100 on for $80 and then using the $ 80 to buy something that will one day be valued at $200 is not what I call a loss .... more of a strategic retreat. GOD BLESS...

FWIW, I still have my MOKF run, but don't have much in it.

At 91% Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes with 122 reviews in?  If you mean that the film might be lackluster financially because C-19 is keeping a lot of people from going to back to the theaters, then, sure, that's possible.

I haven't been this excited about a movie since John Carter ... and I LOVED John Carter. I've already had Covid twice and been vaccinated once... so if the theater is open, they're getting my money  GOD BLESS ....
