I'm going out an rent Ground Hog Day, and just keep watching it over and over until I get it. :banana:

 

The Ground Hog did it, in the Library with the lead pipe.

Oakman says it was Colonial Mustard in the library WITH THE CANDLESTICK!

 

Now I don't know which to believe. hm

 

I always hated clue

 

That's probably because you've never had one.

 

I set myself up for that one.

It seems like your whole business model is based on finding a bigger sucker than yourself.

 

 

This is not a good business model.

 

The Greater Fool Theory.

 

I think that theory only applies if you can find one. In the OPs case, it's highly unlikely.

 

For which comic?

 

In general.

 

I never heard of that series. Would that be a hype book I can pay GPA high for and then get really upset when people tell me it was yet another in a long line of mistakes?

 

Can I then say I am learning and then later in the week rinse and repeat?

 

I've been thinking this way my whole life with emotions so forgive me if I don't magically change overnight. Also you want to talk about the DV 3? Ok I made a mistake I bought it on hype when my friend told me to buy it three days earlier.

 

My ASM 101 I don't view as a mistake but my mistake was over-grading it and thinking I can more money then I actually will.

 

My bat 189 isn't a mistake a all in my eyes but you see it that way because it's a restored comic and I could have done better by buying a graded copy.

 

So don't worry when I sell them I'll post the results here I'll promise you that.

 

I'm not worried, it's not my money. (shrug)

 

No but it is you saying it's a mistake so I'll show you it wasn't

 

Hey, be fair. Everyone here thinks it's a mistake.

The Batman 189 was not a better buy, it's just a more expensive mistake. A 7.0 is not high grade, it's the high end of mid grade and its restored to boot. That book is not rare or hard to find, and just because someone else is trying to get more from their copy than it's worth doesn't mean that anyone else is dumb enough to overpay for your copy. Once you factor in shipping costs, you'll be lucky to break even on that book, even if you place zero value on your time.

 

If Gabe buys the Bats 189, he stands to lose about $200-$350.

 

The books is a /would get a cgc 8.5 IMO as is, PLOD.

 

The resto is listed as " light color touch".

 

It will cost what...$40 to have the CT removed.I don't see any point in pressing it, looks like it won't het a bump from dry cleaning/pressing.More than likely it has already been DCP'd-it looks very vlean and I'd say it's already been DCP'd.

 

So, let's put CT removal, shipping to/from CGC and slabbing costs at $100.

 

With minor CT, post removal...expect anywhere from a 7.0 to an 8.0, depends on how "minor" the CT is.

 

GPA for blue is $359 in 8.0, $315 at 7.5 and $270 in 7.0.

 

Best case scenario, it is a tiny, single spot of CT and the book subsequently gets an 8.0....last sale at $359 in 8.0 , so ....he gets $359 or so.The book isn't tied into any upcoming movies, no reason to think it will trend upwards or sell quickly at $359.

 

Call it $300, after fees.

 

At the best case scenario, he loses $200, that is if it gets an 8.0.

 

With CT on a datk cover, after it is scsped off, if there is more than a tiny smidge, it stands out like Hell.

 

2 tiny s apes, it's a 7.0 maybe 7.5.

 

It could have as much as 2-3 larger scrapes after the CT is removed..

could come back as low as a 6.0.

 

This is a prime reason how/why if you dot know how to grade, you should not try to be a flipper/dealer.

 

And another reason why any dealer should know how to detect resto, be capable of removing CT, and be capable of dry cleaning& pressing books.A dealer should also have a gradp on the nature of the comic market.

 

Gabe is at a loss on all of the qualities needed to buy/sell books.

 

I'm not as a loss I don't know why you keep counting it as such. You also seem to think that every dealer should know how to detect resto,be able to remove it and be capable of dry pressing and cleaning books. So tell apart from those select few tell me which dealers can do that. No I'm not thinking of removing the color touch either.

 

Every competent (succesful) dealer I know of can detect amateur and pro resto, 95% of the time.They also know how to grade, this is key when figuring projected returns on subbed books.

 

Every competent dealer also can either remove resto like CT and can dry clean & press their own books before subbing them.

 

I press damn near every book that I sub, otherwise I'd be looking at adding on more time to wait for a presser to do the work, and then pay their pressing fees.

 

If you can't fo that, you have to have the free capital to cover pressing fees and grading fees, and the cost of the books you buy, and be able to wait a minimum of 2 months to have the graded books in hand to even have a chance at recouping the money you fronted....that being the cost of the books, pressing and grading fees.

 

The succesful dealers who don't press their own books have a presser lined up who does good work without a long lag time, and they pay good money for that service.I do not have the capital to pay pressing fees, and rhen have the free capital to allow amy money to be tied up in the pressers' hands for a month, while being able to buy more books and cover CGC fees.

 

I learned this quickly, so I invested my time into learning how to dry clean and press.That is what someone in your position would need to do, if you really were to become succesful as a dealerIf you can't grade books after 2 years,the odds of you having the requisite patience and understanding of paper mechanics that is needed to learn how to dry clean and press....are very low.

 

Those other dealers definitely can detect resto themselves, and know how to grade, they wouldn't have gotten to where they are if they couldn't do both of those things.They can afford to have to have the money and time invested in books they bought, which is really the mark of a succesful dealer.

 

My problem is that I buy a lot of books and have a hard time with allocating enough of my time to pressing books.But, I can do the work as it is needed.If I really cracked down and spent my free time dry cleaning/pressing books that I buy, as I should, I'd be a lot more succesful as a dealer.

 

At least I can diagnose my problem and I can do what I need to do.

 

You ate completely oblivious to your shortcomings, of what you have many, and show no sign of being able to make any progress whatsoever.

Absolutely! Although, as you say, you are getting better at this (even though we might not believe it), so given that, I don't think it will take you a whole week to screw up again. Three or four days, maybe, but definitely not a whole week! (thumbs u

 

I'll show you.

Like with the DV3? And yes, I'm going to keep bringing this up as an example of you defending a poor choice as if your life depended on it. Remember that same feeling you had when you realized you were wrong, because you will have that same feeling again with those other two clunkers.

DV3 was a bad purchase because of timing but it's not something I regret. So what will you do when I sell the asm 101 and bat 189 for a profit?

So don't worry when I sell them I'll post the results here I'll promise you that.

 

I'm not worried, it's not my money. (shrug)

 

No but it is you saying it's a mistake so I'll show you it wasn't

 

Hey, be fair. Everyone here thinks it's a mistake.

 

Then I'll prove it to everyone on the journal here.

 

Like with the DV3? And yes, I'm going to keep bringing this up as an example of you defending a poor choice as if your life depended on it. Remember that same feeling you had when you realized you were wrong, because you will have that same feeling again with those other two clunkers.

 

DV3 was a bad purchase because of timing but it's not something I regret. So what will you do when I sell the asm 101 and bat 189 for a profit?

 

 

Are you going to crow about your "win" if you sell them for a $30 profit 4 months from now?
