Yes. If you actually had any experience in that area you would know that more often than not, the dealer is more informed than you are. As to contributions, what do you call your recent infatuation with me? lol

 

So after this you’re on ignore. First I have plenty of experience. Secondly the books were selling for $40 at that time so he got FMV. Third, I can guarantee most comic collector’s know a hell of a lot more than dealers. It’s how speculators and flippers make money. Off those clueless dealers you claim are so knowledgeable. Not that some aren’t but people wouldn’t be buying hot books at cover and selling them for hundreds or thousands. 

I’m not infatuated with you I’m sick of your troll comments that bring nothing to the conversation. Nothing except divisiveness and was weak attempts at trolling. So you’re being put on ignore so I don’t have to waste my time reading your drivel.

So what's heating up?  :D

Side note, I just flipped through that Dark Metal 1 and if that goofy Robin King character becomes hot i will have lost all hope in the modern market.  

Looks like Legends of the Dark Knights #1 is on the same path as Hell Arisen #4 where shops under-ordered it, only a few people subbed for it but the day it comes out everyone will want a copy. I learned my lesson though. Even if I hate it, at least I subbed for a copy to avoid the Ebay mark up.

Big time. Just refinanced. 

Also, people saved a ton of money with daycares closed.

And not eating out, vacations, etc...

There are still plenty of people working that have more (perceived) expendable cash than they did a year ago.

I'm a bread route delivery salesman, work never halted. Between my work never stopping, and my wife's fat unemployment checks, we were flushed with cash. She is a part time hair stylist, she went from making $500 ish biweekly to $600 a week. I honestly feel they should screen people about the stimulus. I don't need another one, and I'm sure there are many who don't.

The extra money has been both boom and bust for us. I work in auto sales. Pre-owned, rentals, and lease turn in full size trucks that we were buying for $22-22,500 in February and March are now in the $31-32,000 from Nashville to Alabama to Florida to Michigan to Pennsylvania to...well, you get the idea.

We typically carry a 75 to 90 supply of inventory. We are under a 30 day supply today and are hard pressed to be able to get over 30 days supply. We’re hoping this is temporary but that is doubtful. The rental companies are a large part of our supply chain. They bought considerably fewer new Vehicles in July and almost none in May and June. Vacation travel is down.

Been doing this over 30 years and have never seen anything remotely close to it in the US. We have employees ( roughly 20% of our staff )  in a certain income range who are refusing to come back to work. They are making more staying home. It’s a short term windfall for certain. I’m no economist so no idea what the future holds. It seems than in our business, we’re stuck with short used car supply but the new inventory is cranking back up.

We had no intention of selling comics this year but the stuff is just crazy high across the board. Easiest and most profitable transactions I’ve ever seen. Best year...in just 3 months. Good luck to everybody. 😊
