Hello Jarren.

 

Firstly, Welcome to the boards. Always good to have someone new here.

 

Now for your auction.

 

The picures on your E-bay auction are poor. When selling items of this $$$ value board members would usualy like to see large clear pictures so that they can grade them easily.

 

Your auction states that the books are worth a little over $6000

 

This equates to about $150 dollars per book. From what I can see the books may grade in the VG to FN range which equates to a book value of around $15-50 per book or a book value of roughly $600 - $1200 for the lot.

 

Can you explain how you got the figure of $6000. We may be able to help you out with dtermining a good price & learn more & more about grading.

 

You also need to be aware that at the low end of the grading scale many people including some dealers on the boards often sell at 30%-50% below book value.

 

I am not trying to be smart. Merely let you know that most savy board members may be able to pick up this lot for a total value of roughly $300-$600 tops. A 90% discount on your BIN price.

 

I hope that you continue to visit the boards as the more people the better. Just take a look around the forum selling section & you will see how to market your books a little better.

 

Hope this helps.

Fair price for these is probably at best $1000. More likely around $300-400.

wow all those for at best a 1000$ possibly 300 or 400. Thats heartbreaking. That Superboy 68 has to be at the lowest 300. I need to throw those guides out the window

If, the books are all NM-M which is highly unlikely then your price is fantastic. However, they are probably all mid to low grades which takes the NM value and loses around 80% of it.

$1000 is probably a little low, but not by much. As I said in the other thread (which one should we be discussing this in?) This is Exhibit A of how out of touch with reality Overstreet is.

 

Total price for Jarren's books in fine is $2548 . Real retail for these books is probably less than half of that. Superboy 68, for example, guides at $168 in fine. Good luck getting that - this one, which is probably in around the grade of Jarren's, sold for $34.99 last week.

I agree with you that OPG is usually way out of line for prices FD. In your opinion does it have to do with the age of the sales data that they use (I'm assuming they use last year's sales figures from retailers and auctions) or do you think their source of sales data is simply not representative of the true market?
