    This Collection has a lot of awesome books but over 60% of the books have the "Original Owners Name" inside on the splash page and a single hole punch on the Comics Code Authority box.... 

    The Original Owner's name was Dave Read.... so I am calling this collection the "DRead" collection....

    This was a very intresting collection primarily of Silver Age Marvels... with a handful of DC's. I have spoken to a bunch of my mentors on how to grade books with a single hole punch discretely placed on the cover only.... and the guidance I have been given is grade the book with out the hole punch and deduct 1.0 grade from there... and that how I have everything graded.

    These books were purchased off the rack in Concord Ontario.

    Any questions or concerns do not hesitate to reach out.

    $15,260. 6k less than a 4.0 that had a very valuable little cva sticker on it apparently. the 4.0 had better colors but also chipping. incredible that it sold for so much more.

    Thanks for the info......hard to believe a cva sticker gave it a $6k bump!

    I am no expert by far but due to the fee's taxes etc I started looking at other venues for buying books over 3-5K since we don't have shows.

    Each user is different but there are some sellers (several on here) who sell on IG. They have decent followers and list and sell pretty quick. Most users, new or old, use hashtags so you can search by certain ones like #dd1 or #dd1forsale or #comicsforsale, from there you will see all the postings. I have sold Gi Joe toys and graded sports cards as there are huge followings for both. I don't have a ton of followers but the items sell pretty much immediately at market price. I myself do paypal G/S or cash options, most pay with G/S though, you can ask the fee's be covered there without risk of being shut down like in other places.

    There are some dealers with huge followings and those who do a great job with live auctions, elitecomics is one that has a pretty good system where they partner with other dealers and do split screen live auctions. Those tend to offer all sorts of items, but I have seen several DD1's sell in live auctions for around Market, sometimes below and sometimes slightly higher. When they are listed well above market they do not move and people usually offer around market. IG reaches far more people and I think one of the things happening is it is easy to justify the hobby there. I see  people getting into the hobby and pulling up posts tagging their wives basically sharing what items sell for. My wife is only worried about how much she can sell stuff for when I die, not what I am spending, thats a joke.

    I will let others share their thoughts but I did get into a little debate on FB with another user who was adamant ebay was the rule of the world in regards to market and just could not believe sales happen in other venues, although he was arguing on a FB site that has sales daily so go figure. 

    great post thanks......i was just trying to figure out if i joined IG today and listed a DD1 on my page for sale, how would i attract potential buyers.....I know i sound like a total newbee, and I admit i am when it comes to IG an FB selling.

    There are 5 copies on CL right now, 8.5 down to 2.0 SS. 

    Ebay is falling way back in market share in my opinion. Instagram moves more copies daily now. 

    Im curious how selling on instagram works too......Do you need to build up a history/reputation before you can sell at decent prices......are there any protections for buyers and sellers, and what are people's preferred method of payment? Throwing these questions out there if anyone feels like chiming in, thanks
