    They should!

    I was firmly in the "it will drop quite a bit" camp, and I'm still waiting for it to come down a bit more before I buy, because I think it has a little bit further to go. I was watching a copy on eBay today, $1700 and 0 bids at the 30 second mark. I see now that it did receive a bid at the very end and sold at $1700. Personally, I'm waiting for them to go below $1500. That's the price I'd feel comfortable at, and I think I'll get there in time.

    I don't study GPA all day long, and am certainly no market expert, but anecdotally I can say that WD collections are showing up en masse at local comic shops (and even Half Price Books!)  I haven't seen any #1's, but I have seen 19's and other "key" issues, and for the most part they are already gathering dust.

    The time to buy is coming soon. But I'm greedy and patient enough to wait a little bit longer.

    If you like catching a falling knife. jk

    But they've also all but guaranteed that they sell no more than 110k of number 2 and 3. People will be reluctant to buy those issues when they don't even have a later printing of 1.

    We shall see. But I believe they will sell a lot more than 110K for both issues 2 and 3 and wait for the TPB to read part 1. The controversy of Damned 1 is already creating FOMO pulling in more readers and speculators.

  3. Great advice VEI. I've also owned several businesses including food distributor, restaurants, etc... I've just started a comic store here in Littleton, co and having more fun than any other businesses I have ever owned. It doesn't make the money that I would like to make right now, but the stress level is very low. That is a BIG plus.

     

    If you decide to start a business, you DO need to dive in fully. I've seen too many people trying to start a business part time and either failed or lose interests.

  4. FYI to all, Mile High Comics (yep I know I got desperate) has available copies of AoS 14, Outcast and sparse Rat Queens. I picked up a couple Nailbiter copies as well.

     

    I wouldn't be surprised if you get an email saying out of stock. But when you check the site again it will be available at a much higher prices. Yes, this is mile high's business practice. I've had many experiences similar with them and vowed never to buy from them again.

  5. V Wars is awesome! It's not just a typical vampire storyline. The writer has alluded to many different directions this will explore. He is also absolutely sure this will be a TV show. His other novel which will be adapted into comic book format is already in talks of becoming a movie. Google Jonathan Maberry - great guy, great writer.

     

    which is why I can't figure out why the FCBD issue isn't selling for me....I mean it IS the first appearance right?

     

     

    Sure, but the current supply far surpasses the demands. The book getting the attention right now is the black variant #1. Which I believe is the scarcest. But, it's also only on issue 2.

  7. If Ryan graded the book, then yes, the comment would be directed at him. In this case, it's a comment to spur a discussion about what I see. Agree or Disagree - make your case and move on.

     

    Noticed I comment on the grade of the book by the scan and not about Ryan's choice of book. If it is indeed the scan that is making it look worse than it is I accept the explanation. God knows I have some of the fugliest books in my collection, and like Ryan, I am proud of it.

     

    BTW Ryan, I was seriously considering buying your crow # 2, since I have a 1 and 3.
