| I have recently heard that the show has once again been greenlighted for production but that certain creators will not be attached/asked back to the show due to harming the brand and relaunch. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by flanders I wouldn't say that, @flanders ..... The problem isn't creators in the plural sense, it is the one creator, J.K.....the reboot producers made a point to NOT include that individual in the production of the reboot, in any way. J.K. was also fired from the show back in 1992, for not making deadlines.... well before the allegations of "grooming underage childen" became public. I've no idea if the allegations are true, but if true, J.K. is indeed a morally reprehensible individual. The public backlash, in the form of the petition with 11k+ signatures, still reportedley got the reboot stopped. I just did another search per @buckets posted and it looks like more recent news from 1/1/2021 indicates the reboot is moving forward, see link 1 below. So my post last night about being fine w/taking $255 may not be the best advice. That said, the comic market is in a speculatory bubble , similiar to the 1990's spen boom/bust cycle...the bubble going to last and the impact of online sales tax laws 2 being greatly increased for anyone who sells just over $600/yea takes effect in 1/1/2022....which cannot be good for the collectibles market. It'd likely be short, given the tax code will effectively put most smaller comic dealers outta business. In a way, that's good for the comic market,dang near everyone who buys comics at shops & cons is now also a flipper, the spec bubble only increased that. Tough to price this book but I'd be happy walking away with , at the minimum gross sale price of $350 for a slabbed 9.8 NS right now, after fees , I think a NS in 9.8 of this book is realistically worth a 10-15% premium above a direct slabbed 9.8...the GPA high is $298, so $350 in newsstand 9.8 is fair. Than again,it's been over 6 months since the positive news about the reboot below, which appears to be the most recent...the reboot producers have done a good job of distancing themselves from J.K. 1 https://www.cartoonbrew.com/tv/billy-west-says-ren-stimpy-reboot-still-on-at-comedy-central-200451.html 2 https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/26/its-going-to-get-harder-to-avoid-telling-the-irs-about-income-from-online-sales.html |

Thinking of selling this but have no idea on how to price it...maybe just auction??...or....could always put it back on the shelf! |

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

| @KatKomics I don't think it would do well at auction but since it's a minor key with the first app of Old Man Logan I'd price it at $300 obo and see what happens. Cover A seems more popular and has been selling for $175-$225 unsigned. | ||

I had a Spawn #220 Collector's Special Variant listed for $199 obo on ebay and it sold for the asking price. I'm a bit confused since they are other copies available, including one on MCS for $110. It's a newer ebay account but a 22 feeback score, no seller feedback, only buyer. Should I not worry about a possible return for buyer's remorse and just ship the thing? |

Below is copy/pasted GPA for this variant in 9.8 with Trimpe's sig, from the year before movie hype for Old Man Logan kicked in on this book Hasn't been a sale of this slab since 2018, and the last sale was at $372....leads me to think that there isnt an abundant of SS TRimpe's of this slab for sale or they are priced using the peak Herbe SS pricing, spiked around the time the last Wolverine movie came out and the movie hype pricing for this book....both of which have long subsided. I'd put it at $435 + shipping, to start. Year Number High Low 2018 4 $372 $125 2017 4 $178 $98 2016 1 $500 $500 2015 9 $203 $44 2014 10 $86 $33 |

| @Scifinator last CGC sale was $244, last CBCS sales of $150 and $164. You have the only 9.8 listing on MCS or Ebay at the moment and I don't see it anywhere else online. I'd counter at $300 and consider selling for $275. | ||

| @Scifinator You've the only 9.8 available on eBay on a black cover book of a hot title; listed at $331 on MCS and mirrored on eBay at $380. $331 is already a "discount" to ebay's price, to the buyers' perspective. GPA high is at $425 and to my count, 7 CGC 9.8's have sold above $300. Recent slab sold at $335, you've the only 9.8 available...why cut a deal? Odds are MK will get his own show. Looks like the book shot up in early 2019 when the first MK netflix rumors kicked in hard and has settled since than. It's now on the low end but will return. I'd say $331 (thru MCS) or $350 on ebay takes it. GPA with 2019 broken down: 2021 3 $335 $185 2020 17 $270 $125 2019 8 $425 $220 Nov-25 $340 2061958010 Nov-23 $365 2077281022 Oct-02 $220 2032597005 Sep-09 $425 1292788014 Jun-27 $303 2032846017 Mar-14 $275 2015619020 Feb-21 $305 1300384008 Feb-06 $305 |

| @ComicHoarder - Great info and detail, Thanks. Forgot that sales of this comic were previously that high. Thinking I will probably full price counter and if person doesn't buy, I may just end up increasing price and turn off offers this is my favorite MK cover anyway. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Scifinator NP, but yeah....I also wouldn't turn down 300 on MCS for the slab, either. After I typed that response, I was curious (I saved about a full run of unprocessed dealer stock of 1980's MK's from bulk buys years ago in my basement waiting to be pressed and slabbed) so I looked up the slab on ebay and saw other issues under & around #15 on ebay in CGC 9.8 slabs sitting with a bunch of watchers at $150.... On second thought....I'd counter at $315 , than if he passed, counter at 315, than 300 if needed. If another 9.8 hits ebay before yours sells, ya dont wanna get left holding the bag if another seller puts it up low and it sells, thus driving recent GPA down more. |

| @KatKomics I don't think the average fmv will be going down so I'd hold until you get the $180 for it. It has a great wrap and white pages, so it should sell on the higher end of 7.0s. Maybe consider raising the price to $200 obo and accept $180. Then again, I tend to have this mentality on most of my books and they sit around unpurchased for months. |

| GPA has the ninety day average for it at 163, so that offer is right in line with current market really. Flip side, these books wont be going down in price and are undervalued so alot depends on your own need and wants | ||

| @ComicHoarder - I had contemplated that when I started this thread, but i think on practice, you would need several forum members to act in concert to manipulate decisions and after lurking here for a year before becoming active the past year and half, I don’t have the sense that the members are of that mindset. Another thing is that i pretty much offer forum members a 22% or so discount on my listings. |

Seller replied even if he was he wouldn't offer a discount even though his listing had the obo tab. Apparently lately hes had more interest in his book so he wasn't interested in any discounts. |

| You may want to be careful asking. Apparently ebay monitors messaging and scans for folks trying to do off site purchases which hurts their bottom line. | ||

Although I don't see how this could be a violation of Ebay's terms. @Mmanick Were you asking if they were a member of any forums or asking them to list the comic on the forum at a discount? I've also never been scammed on Ebay despite using the site as a buyer and seller for over 15 years. If that's the case, avoid Facebook, which I heard is scammer central. You can also try myslabs.com and maybe start a WTB list on this forum if you haven't done so already. |
