Are there more big comic buyers on comic link or on Ebay?

[ronm3-migration]

What do you folks think?

[action1kid]

I think there the same. I am a big ticket buyer and i look at both equally.

Ron, some buyers will not buy on Ebay because they wish to remain anonymous. Also, as i've written several times, i think Ebay is losing serious buyers because of all the fraud. A serious buyer would probably rather deal with a real person (ie Dealer) than take a chance on Ebay. If i was buying a Batman #1 for $200,000 i don't think i'd go through ebay

unless the dealer you know chose ebay as his selling venue. So coming full circle, its not EBay thats the problem if the dealer is a known quantity.

The reason i ask is because in comic links auction Josh has a 9.4 Batman 237 and it is already at 350 where as mine on Ebay is at 153?

I dont know what to think.

What do you think?

This has never been more true.Fraud is on a very quick rise on ebay.[use a credit card through paypal ONLY. No checks,no cash of any kind

Ebay and Comiclink work differently. On Ebay, lots are bidded UP. On Comiclink, a sky-high price is listed by the optimistic/greedy seller and bidders try to bid it DOWNWARD.

 

the 350 isnt the final price just as your current high bid isnt final. But, to your point, yeah, theres a gheck of a lot more trust on Comiclink than Ebay. Thats what Josh is selling, therefore they get higher prices.

I was talking about the Focus Auction on Comiclink.

[Aman619]

IM REALLY NOT SURE IF FOCUSSED AR ETHE NO-RESERVE OR NOT.

 

caps lock on.

Nope, no timulty in this thread either. Hmmm...where could he be?

[Scheradon]

Neither, they're all on Pedigree

[colmoreman]

My preferences are:

 

1 Ebay with sellers who can be 100% trusted (you get both price and service)

2 Pedigree or Comic Link (you get service and occasionally price)

3 A handful of the top dealers (you get service and sometimes price)

4 Some of the next tier of dealers (you get service)

4 Heritage (you occasionally get price)

...

20 Other dealers (pot luck on both service and price)

...

50 Anybody on ebay with less than a 99.5% feedback rating (I'd rather have a day at the races!)

Thats interesting because my cutoff is around 98% depending on the volume the seller has.

Don't forget Colemore Comics from your list. They have great friendly service and excellent prices. I was thrilled with my purchase of the cgc 9.8 Worlds Unknown #3 and loved the nice welcome letter, mousepad and pen! Great people there!
