Adamster Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 I think it is a great idea. It will make collecting and keeping track of one's collection and prices so much easier. If it worked! unfortunately lots (maybe half) of the prices either don't exist or are inaccurate - even on keys. That was regarding the scan feature which is the best part. Regarding the sales there there seems to be a lot of scammers? Right now there is an IH181 7.5 up for sale for $1400. In general prices there seem like we were in 2010 now...

daydoodle Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 I gave up on it after the app could not identify a couple of newer Marvel books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamster Posted December 3, 2022 Author Share Posted December 3, 2022 The idea is one of the best to help comics collectors I have seen in many years though. I really hope they can fine tune it and make it work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeypost Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 The way prices are being adjusted (hourly for some) it would be difficult for any app to be accurate. ttfitz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would just like there to be prices. Many big keys even have no prices... My JLA1 6.0 has a value of $0.75 it says... yeah right. If the prices are from last month or two months ago or even six months .. that would be more than good enough. Still it would allow us to track our collections fairly well, and we could then check individually if we wanted to sell or buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the blob Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Does anyone buy there? I probably haven't looked for 2 or 3 years, there are only 363 stores there now, which I don't think is much different then back then. Newkada has 168,000 listings and only seems to sell about 200 comics a month? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got to know about them recently because they have this app which would be a game changer to keep track of my (and many others I'm sure) collection.

Doughs Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 As the idea itself is just fine, but for the normal functioning of such a need just huge resources which of course can not be from the start. It's sad that even a good idea is stymied by the reality that presses on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
