| I use http://comics.gocollect.com/ But that gives prices for books sold on ebay. Ebay is also a good place to start and see where the market is on sold book. |

| I used to use this one: http://comicspriceguide.com/ Its not bad and I still use it for a quick reference. But, I've shifted to gocollect, mentioned above, b/c it incorporates eBay data. I was never too clear how comicspriceguide.com gathered its data or how up to date it was. Checking eBay sold listings is a MUST, as others have said. Many a times I've made an impulse buy without checking it first. Always regret it. |

| e-bay +1. Especially completed auctions. As @DarthLego said, it's the best for the absolute most current sales data. It's crazy how the market can fluctuate from week to week. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Themaxx35 That site is a good resource for information on identifying books, finding cover art, and tracking how many books are in a series. As for prices, they are hit and miss, and some are just pie in the sky crazy. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Themaxx35 Not to beat a dead horse, but I will say that one thing I do not like about gocollect is that as far as I know it only tracks CGC/CBCS graded books. I buy mostly raw books, so its of some limited utility. It tells me what a book could be worth if I graded it. Best authority for raw prices still seems to be eBay, unless I am missing something. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Themaxx35 That is the down side of using gocollect.com. As for me I use it both ways in gauging the market in selling books and seeing what the going rate of a book so I can bid accordingly with the market and not over bid on a book that I may be able get cheaper down the road. |

| Thank you all for your input, so many places to check figured at least one of them would be concise and not make me think a price for a certain book is wacked out or come in to low. | ||
