24 sold in 24 hrs? How does this seller have so many?

He is already in the black and everything other than the 1:200 issues are gravy. This is going to be huge. I really hope the book lives up to the hype/sales. How cool would that be ? :wishluck:

Yea, break even on the 1:200, then you're left with a stack of $0.25 gravy. Good luck selling those for a profit! ha

If he bought 4800, he has those 9 1:500 too. But still, it is so hard to destroy a comic and thats a LOT of long boxes. Better reinforce the floors. lol

Oh, they sold 24 27 already, gotcha. But they are only even on the 1:200's. Still have the cost of an additional 300 to get the 1:500's.

They have sold 8 of the 1:500 at $90. For the additional 300 copies they have to order over the 1:200 sets they are selling, they are making roughly $52 if you assume the are getting the books at 50% off cover.

I'd predict the death of Rick before Negan. I would hate it if either was gone...but I think a main character is due.

Technically, if they're already breaking even just by selling the 1:200 variants, then every sale of the regular issue at $0.25 is just additional profit assuming they can sell those locally and not ebay.

5400 copies at 13 cents each is $702. $841 on the 1:200 plus $720 on the 1:500 (and they still have 1 of those to sell) = $1561 - $702 or $859 profit plus a free 1:500 plus 5400 copies give away. (thumbs u

Right, but where are you going to sell those? You are going to sell $0.25 comics on eBay and package them all? You would need to have a pretty big shop to not end up with 10 longboxes of those hanging around.

5400 copies at 13 cents each is $702. $841 on the 1:200 plus $720 on the 1:500 (and they still have 1 of those to sell) = $1561 - $702 or $859 profit plus a free 1:500 plus 5400 copies give away. (thumbs u

They're actually selling a set with both chase variants:

119.50 x 5 1:500 + 1:200 + reg

89.50 x 8 1:500 + reg

30.99 x 27 1:200 + reg

 

Comics is 6545 copies (6500 reg + 32 1:200 + 13 1:500) so assuming $0.13 per issue, that's $850.85.

 

$2150.23 revenue - $850.85 cost - shipping - ebay fees - PayPal fees. I reckon that still nets them a tidy profit. The 6460 remaining regular covers, they can either sell or give away. I saw an unopened 250 case of Red Sonja #0 on ebay for $50 BIN free ship.

Good profit and very little risk. Hard to beat. :headbang:
