| Had an idea for a possible ongoing thread for fellow forum members who are selling comics to get feedback on from all forum members who care to chime in. Basically, if We/I receive an offer in MCS, eBay, etc., that maybe we are on the fence on or FOMO for some reason, post here for vote/feedback. So, with that, i will put up the first item for the forum to chime in on. Was offered $900. Sell or Hold?  Decision - HOLD |

 I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for.

| Usually there is a drop after the movie is shown in theaters. It may go up before then but usually you can expect a dip unless the movie is awesome and they announce a sequel right away. |

| Personally I would hold. Preliminary movie trailers haven't even been released yet. My thoughts are that full audience potential has not been hit yet... | ||

| normally I would say sell and buy a bunch of THOR (Jane Foster) #1s and some GOD OF THUNDER #25s to slab and flip closer to the movie but the market is so nuts that I don't know what to sell or hold anymore. | ||

 If the viagra is working you should be well over a 9.8.

| gocollect has it as a $800 book; I can only find one recent 9.8 sale on eBay and it was $1000. So it seems like a fair offer as far as it goes. I'm with @drchaos in terms of hype pricing; it could go up again when trailers start to drop, but it might not. It probably will go down after the movie comes out and the hype dies down. I think on the whole I'd be inclined to take it. |

| I'm not sure of the timing of if you should hold or sell but at some point I would definitely sell. I would use those funds to help finance a bigger silver age book. Personally, if I had that book and got a $900 offer, I'd sell in a heartbeat. |

| I would hold until one of the trailers is released, that will likely hit max value...if they follow the storyline of Foster, it'll see a huge dip once spoilers / release weekend. The high spike's Ed notes are from when Portman was rumored and announced as returning....book will see those numbers again once trailer hits showing her in the costume. |

Have I told you about the time I dropped off 3,000 comics at SDCC?
|
Scifinator private msg quote post Address this user | |
| Decision made. Holding at the $1,200 price that I had listed. Based on last 5 months of avg sales and waiting for trailer. Thanks all for the Sell and Hold input. | ||

| Next up... A week ago, was offered $2,984 that I did not take and I think that person bought a similar graded SS off of ebay minutes later. Also note, that on Feb 1st, this was sold on Ebay (at $2,900) and returned due to the scuff on the top front right of the slab. Now, I am being offered $3,400. BUY or HOLD!  Decision - SELL |

| as someone who has multiple copies of that What If book it sure would be great if it goes up even more but $1000 for a 1978 book sure sounds like cheddar to me. I would probably sell both and buy OA | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Scifinator I think that’s a good call. I think $1,200 will probably be too low once the trailers come out. I tend to believe that the fruit isn’t fully ripe until the previews are being discussed. I would have a harder time passing up the offer on the Signature book. |

$189 is fair for now (current sales listed below), but seeing how the first print has absolutely exploded in value, I think the FOMO crowd may turn to the 2nd print, soon. In the long run, $189 seems too low. To me, that is.  |

Quote:Originally Posted by Scifinator HOLD. Venom 2 hype is just getting started, and features Carnage as the villain. 1st prints have shot up massively in last 2 months, 2nd prints have just now started following suit. I’ve got 2 copies of this book still and I’m holding on for the trailer hype. FYI, i sold a 9.4 at $121 about a month ago, I kinda wish I’d have held it. |

 I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie.

@Scifinator hold and post again if you get an offer of $300 or more. Looks like you should raise your price especially considering how cheap shipping is through MCS: |

| @flanders - “@Scifinator hold and post again if you get an offer of $300 or more. Looks like you should raise your price especially considering how cheap shipping is through MCS” I was thinking the same thing. I think it spiked again after recent GoCollect blog. |
