 Saw this today. SEC now has its hands in Investments and shares in comic books. I think it's safe say that things aren't going back to "normal". |

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

| My local dealer did the same thing...bought by Overstreet and sold by CVM pricing. We called it the Comics Vascular monthly.....used to be a store in Wichita Kansas called Atomic comics...flat busted the owner using an older overstreet placed inside the cover of a newer version, to price buying , then sell via the CVM. The wizard was one of the publications that drove the insanity in the 90's that eventually caused the industry to implode so heavily |

| Of course, just like I remember card guys coming in to buy comic books like what's happening now. Going to be interesting to see how much of what happened then repeats itself. | ||

| I do worry that when this deluge of submissions floods the market in 4-6 months we're going to see waaaaay more supply than demand. Not a total crash but a rush to sell by flippers who see prices falling. | ||

| I sold a small pile of doubles to a shop that gave me 50% trade from prices in Comic book monthly. Sold him Green lantern 1s Ghost rider 1s Batman Year 1s and 2s Stuff barely a year old and I bought my monthly titles, toys and comic book t-shirts for 6 months before I pulled out my wallet due to store credit. |

Quote:Originally Posted by dielinfinite madness, just madness. I have split a comic 2 ways with a friend once or twice but in both instances I got to hold the comix and participate in the purchase and sale of said comix. I can't fathom "owning" a piece of a comic I never held in hand. id buy a 1% share of ACTION COMICS #1 for $100 though if anyone has one  |

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

flanders private msg quote post Address this user | |
| @EbayMafia you can't make more than 3 offers in 10 days. $8 was my 3rd offer. That book is probably worth $15 at most with all those spine ticks. | ||

| @flanders Got it, I wasn't sure if it was a massively over-priced book or an error in your offer. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by 50AE_DE Embarrassed to say I bought 100 Turok #1's myself. I did get caught up in the speculation game for a bit but in my defense it was before marriage and kids and that's when you're supposed to be irresponsible right? On the plus side I also bought 100 copies of ASM #361 guess how many of those I have now? 0!! |

| If you want to have some fun, go through your eBay buying history. I was amazed at some of the low prices I paid in the last year. |
