Moderns that are heating up on ebay

[OldGuy]

Anytime I can sell a recent modern for more than cover, IMO, I win.

 

Any time I can sell a recent modern for half of cover IMO, I win. Any more then that is pure bonus.

That's one of the reasons I gave up monthlies. Just money down the toliet.

I didn't realize that the point of buying a modern was for resale value. I thought it was for reading enjoyment.

I have a finite amount of disposable entertainment dollars. $3 for a modern that I read in 2-3 minutes and then goes into a box just doesn't make sense anymore. At least with the vintage stuff I know I can, at worst, break even when reselling it. If companies ever go back to $1.50 newsprint comics, I will start buying again. Until that day my money will be going to something that either provides longer entertainment or can be resold at a later date. Moderns are fun to read, but they are just too expensive for what I get out of them.

I am slowly switching over to trades myself. I like reading an entire story at once and they seem like a far better value. I will buy a hot book to flip, but my reading enjoyment comes from trades.

You can get 90% of the new books for $1.74 at online subscription companies with most offering $.74 monthly specials on a bunch of books. Shipping is pretty darn cheap too. You can then flip them for about a buck each on the boards, so you're out less than a dollar a book. You end up with a couple of hot books, then you paid for a bunch more

I don't do it personally, was just commenting on the old they're too expensive and then I can only flip em for a dollar hoopla. whats more work, clicking a bullet on a site and having the books shipped directly to you weekly for a discount or driving in your car to the LCS to get reemed?

I prefer to get reemed in person, and hand select my books

We lose .74 on each transaction, but we make it up in volume

I can see how that would work, but I really don't care enough to make the effort. The only titles I read regularly were Conan, Goon and The Ultimates, the rest of the stuff I picked up was random. I guess I would rather read a novel anyway.

JC, is that you?

[followtheleader]

Where the heck has JC been?

 

October, do you at least buy the trades for those three books you liked? I can understand otherwise.

I just stopped buying moderns about a month ago, so I haven't really thought about it. Maybe I will wait a year and try to pick them up cheap on eBay or something.

Because I'm feeling all festive and *spoon*, here's a tip.

 

Buy this book:

 

 

you should be able to get it for nothing. This will be a $15-20 book in six months.

Why? You have inside info?

 

Feel free to PM me with it if you don't want to post it

[jonjesper]

oooh oooh ooohh I know I know...

(I really do... )

[CJ]

didn't someone mention that book already as having a venom story and another one by a current hot artist/writer (KIRKMAN)

[FlyingDonut]

oooh oooh ooohh I know I know...

(I really do... )

 

 

This is a layup. You should be able to find this book for a quarter, because it is drek-edy drek drek. When you flip it for $15 in six months, remember your good friend Mr. Donut.
