How hard is it to sell a graded slabbed comic?

4 posts in this topic

Well I can tell ya its impossible to sell a slabbed book at a yard sale, garage sale, or a flee market. Seems the average person just don't want to spend the money once the comic starts going over a buck. Selling on Ebay seems to be better, but its usually nothing to write home about. A lot of my sales ended just a little higher then what I put into the books. Unless its a key or NM issue. Then in that case ya make some $$$$$. I'm beginning to lean to not having average books not slabbed. No matter how old they are. It's just not profitable for me having them slabbed the way I see it. If the grading price were lower on average comics then I may change my mine. CGC should look into possibly having a lower fee on average grade comics. Because right now your average grade books just don't sell unless you sell at a loss. I'm finding its getting harder to sell slabbed books.

Is this one of those posts that reads the same backwards and forwards?
