waver99 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Hi all, Have (with the help of the Spare a Grade section) graded 6 Firehair comics, #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #9. As I don't really collect GA, esp non DC, would like to have these sold to fund other purchases on the board. Unfortunately, am not sure how to price these. If anyone has any pointers on a fair price, would really appreciate it. Rarely see these selling on eBay too. TIA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougC Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 There are a good number of them on ebay currently with a #1 in 4.5ish selling for $150 nothing else has sold the 4+ times listed in the $300 range. A #4 in CGC 5.5 only sold for $90, a raw #5 in similar condition sold for $50 and there are others in the same range. You should do your own research and settle on a price your are comfortable with listing them, maybe error on the high side and take a best available offer. waver99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not rare, not widely collected, not high grade, and (most importantly) not certified/slabbed (so forget about basing their worth on CGC-certified comparables). These are the type of issues that typically sell for guide, at best (about $20 in 2.0 GD for issues #2 thru 11). One man's opinion.

Hopefully you meant $20 per book and not for the lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzutak Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 (edited) In my opinion, issues in the #2-11 range are worth about $20 each if/when the copy is in 2.0 GD condition. If a book's condition is better or worse than 2.0 GD, simply scale my value estimate up or down. Value increases linearly with numerical grade within the 0.0 to 6.0 range, so the math is trivial. Don't like my value estimate? Here are the last two years of actual/completed eBaay sales. Click to enlarge. If you don't feel comfortable assigning grades and BIN prices to individual books, just let the marketplace establish their worth. How? Provide high-res front/back cover scans of each book, together with an estimate of page quality and details of any/all hidden flaws. Then run a 48- or 72-hour Board-only auction. For example: 6-Book Firehair lot consisting of Firehair Comics #1 and 9 plus Pioneer West Romances #2 thru 5. Starting bid = $100. Minimum bid increment = $10. Buy-it-Now (BIN) price = $200. Auction ends when (1) the BIN is hit or (2) the Board time-stamp hits 18:00:00 EDT this Sunday (whichever comes first). Good luck!
