| My two go-to sites (before I check eBay) are comicbookrealm.com for raw books and gocollect.com for graded books. I originally used comicspriceguide.com but found their prices to be a bit off, and not updated very often... while comicbookrealm.com seems to get constant updating, and nice reporting on your collection value and value changes. | ||

| @vacaboca i use to use comicbookrealm.com but i feel like they underprice the books. I use gocollect.com its like using ebay just for the fact that all proces tbey have are from sale off of ebay. But the advantage of it is that will show a graph of the trend that the book is taking, if i stand corrected its a 3 month graph. So to me that is helpful i two ways, if you are selling it gives you a look at the current market for your book, as a buyer you can see the avarage of what the book is selling for, and the web site does give a break down on each specific grade with its trends and prices. | ||

| I know this isn't a site but I like to use the Overstreet Guide to least give me an idea where the price should be to start. | ||

Nostomania all day long. The 25 bucks a year is well worth having a price guide that shows raw vs each grading company, along with collection tracking.   |

| @shrewbeer I like nostomania.com because it is hard to find any sales days on books like I have in high grade. Their algorithm gives me already an idea what a GA 9.8 or 9.6 might bring of sold. | ||

| Having a price for each interval of grade is great. The prices are pretty accurate as well, and the new feature showing the 1 and 3 year price gain/loss on every item in my collection is great; I can see what is losing money and gaining very quickly. Good guys over there too, when I see a book missing they add it within a month. |

| Does nostomania.com have a good database of silver/bronze/modern? I've never heard of this site and really interested based on the screenshots @shrewbeer provided but i want to make sure there is a good base of modern book/variant values as well as solid silver age. | ||

| I think they have a free 30 day trial. Or pay the $2.99 per month as you go Silver age is solid. Not sure about modern variants, I dont normally look those up |

Quote:Originally Posted by kaptainmyke It's also useful, I think, to check mycomicshop.com. For the more popular books you can see a range of prices people are hoping to get on the commission sales, plus pretty market-accurate prices on the non-commission sales. And I'll check ComicLink to see what people have recently gotten for a book, both in auctions and the exchange. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Injurytoeye Looks like Nosto has been having some problems lately. Any price guide that uses algorithms seems sketchy to me, imho. Someone asked; I'll just pick one comic as an example, and I honestly have no more interest in this issue as any other, but for brevity's sake I'll just use this one example that's representative of most common DC's of the early to late 60's. I happened to put an Action Comic issue #312 on my Ebay watch list where the opening bid was .99, three more bids were made and it sold for $1.94 plus $4.00 shipping. This particular comic was in GD+ to VG condition. The uncertified value (according to this site) is $6.65 to $12.70, and yet it went for less than $2. without shipping. If this was an anomaly I'd understand, but when I look at the sold prices on Ebay I see that there have been 6 Action Comics #312 (same issue) sold on Ebay since January that were all in in GD to VG condition and all sold between .99 and $6.50 ............. average sale price was $3.60, one half to one quarter of what the uncertified value shows in Nostomania price guides. So if common 60's DC's actually sell for 1/4 to 1/2 of Nostomania's uncertified value ........ what gives, what's the real value of a comic? Thanks They answered This is an important topic you've raised - this is a significant current flaw with our pricing data. Your inference is absolutely correct - ideally the Nosto values would very closely track the sales data on eBay. That is pretty much the whole point of the pricing database, values based on actual sales! So what's going on here? The big problem is our eBay data harvesting has been broken for awhile (they keep making it harder to snag data). Therefore we are for now getting too few uncertified sales from this era and price range. Hopefully we'll get this fixed soon, but that's another story. To understand what's going on here you need to know a little bit about how our pricing algorithms work. If we are unable to capture a recent sale for a particular book, we will adjust pricing based on the most similar items we have recently captured data for. Unfortunately, for this era, right now that tends to be a smattering of key issues from Heritage Galleries. For example, just captured, Action Comics 340, uncertified FN/VF 7.0, sale price $191.00! Our pricing code says "well, no sales this time for Action 312, but we grabbed one for Action 340, that seems similar in era, title, character, so we'll do a conservative adjustment for Action 312 based on that sale. Which, unfortunately, unrealistically bumps up Action 312, and many other similar books. Does this make sense? Bottom line is you have exposed a flaw in our pricing code, so at least you can trust your instincts. We'll do our best to address this soon. FWIW, writing solid pricing code is really tricky, as you might guess since Nostomania is the only site that has done even a halfway decent job of it. In fact, on key books where we gather lots of sales, nobody can touch us - we are spot on. Check a few out (e.g. Amazing Spider-Man 1), way tighter than anyone else, and this is very important on high end books in high grade. Not sure if you've seen this link on the site, but here are some articles that explain the pricing code and show some great examples of where we excel. The articles are dated, but the points are salient: https://www.nostomania.com/nforum/posts/list/212.page |
