Whats your current inventory?

Can you break it down to:

Books you will sell in <45 days, 45-180 days, >180 days

 

Fun task no putting books into a category with a condition such as *this will sell if XYZ happens* (such as they announce Aphra is getting her own series).

 

:bump:

 

That was harder to do then I thought but I do have some comics I know I want to sell in 30-45 days if possible.

 

IH 180 CGC 5.0 SS

FF 53 CGC 7.0

Immortal Ion Fist 17 CGC 9.8

I dont think the "buy on the way back down" works for the current market in terms of movie speculation/payoff movies

 

When movie speculation movies start to go back down its after the selloff begins, and there's usually not a short/midterm rebound... and often not a long term one either....

 

When they start to go down its beca

 

Yeah you have a point there and I forgot about that so my focus would have to be short term unless I buy something really cheap

If you believe you should buy on the way down Uncanny XMen 141 and Thor 344 are great picks.

 

Thor 344 would I don't see anything happening with X-men 141 other then it being a key issue

 

He was being sarcastic. Neither book is considered hot or really a book you should be buying at near the going rate if you want to make a profit.

It's not supposed to be super easy. There is a reason to it. Would be awesome to include buy prices and your realistic sell price too.

And how do you expect to sell the ff53 for any profit when only ONCE this year would you have made money on it???

 

Good question. I was thinking of listing locally or on FB to see what happens as locally there aren't many good comics for sale in my area and on FB they like to haggle.

Comics sold

 

Immortal Iron Fist 17 CGC 9.8 $130

 

Is that a $15 profit after all fees etc?

 

Just another word of advice...spending $115 to net $15 is not the best business model, especially when you don't deal in volume 2c
