dupont2005 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 That reminds me of the feel I get when I realize I missed an auction for something ridiculously rare that sold cheap, like the Angry Youth Comix #1 that sold for $20 on eBay. Made me feel sick. Sometimes I let the hunt stress me out way too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruzin' Thru Comics Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 I picked up a house of secrets 92 a few weeks ago for $300. Pretty nice copy. About fine/very fine. A buddy really wanted a copy. Sold it to him the next day for $350. Didn't think I would miss it but now I'm realizing I probably won't get one in that grade (for that price) again. I guess I can hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzetta Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 I almost did that today. I actually photographed and researched a price and wrote out the thread to sell my complete X-O Manowar series (current). The problem was that I realized how much I enjoy reading that as it comes out each month. I didn't click the submit thread, deleted the page instead and came here to tell about it. Almost a year later... Ha - I actually wound up selling the X-O set. Somehow I did indeed get over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruzin' Thru Comics Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 A dealer once told me at cons in the 70's you'd see action 1's and tec 27's for sale. He said he once passed up detective comics 1-26 because the dealer had already sold 27. Said 1-26 were tied in a bundle with some twine and the seller only wanted a two to three hundred bucks for them. Imagine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comicdey Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 I gave away my lower grade Avengers 1 as part of a very large and over the top boards xmas exchange....guess I was feeling very generous as I'd only paid $50 for it years before, it's only hit me how after the avengers movie I'd now have to pay a ton to get another copy, and I've yet to do that. I did pick up a restored 4.5 but immediately sold it for an to another boardie that was looking for it for a friend at my cost. I also sold my superman 2 to a boardie for the price I paid which was quite good. He has had it conserved and I'm sure is treating it right though so no real "reg-er-ts" on that one. It would easily cost me 4-6 x the money to get it back now. Some day I'll buy a higher grade copy of both of these issues and any pain will be released I do regret selling my low grade Headline 8 Hitler cover and my Action 28 that was probably a 9.0 in pre cgc days.

theThreat Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 I traded my X-men 100, New xmen vs old xmen! which was high grade for a beaten up copy of xmen 19 (poor) and a nm copy of the 1st jim lee xmen comic. Xmen 100 was my prize at that time. I didn't have a lot of money for comics. On the plus side...anyone see the recent prices of Xfactor 6, first Apocalypse..kerrrr-ash!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Was the movie really that bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the owner of that book is on the boards- Brother J He's been known to sell stuff from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcjames Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Black Lightning #1 & #2 VF/VFNM sold Dec 2015 for $12. Buyer even said in his feedback "This one is going to be big!" That's about as close as I ever got to regretting a sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Fate'sFullHelmet Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Great topic, sad to say it was the one that provides my avatar, More Fun Comics #71, CGC 6.0 unrestored, sold it at the same time with a golden age Green Lantern 3 same grade. You know how some people say they have no regrets? I'm not one of those people. At the time I sold them I knew they were rare in decent, unrestored grade. Ah, stupidity...

mackenzie999 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I regret selling off my entire collection back in the early 80s, near complete set of Marvel heroes and horror as well as hundreds of hg DC hero books from early 60s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Cataldo Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I traded about 20 MOC Star Wars for Valiant gold & platinum issues back in 1994 or so. The Star Wars included SW and ESB Fetts, 12-backs, POTF Yak Face, Anakin and Yoda, etc. How's that working out for me now? It's called depression.

the blob Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Saga 1. Had been selling copies early $10-20 while on the rise. Hit $35 a pop and i blew my last 10 out here for $300 for the lot. Was pretty pleased with myself. By the time the media mail package got to the buyer they were $100+ raw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GermanFan Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Despite the price surges in the last years (they are connected with the zero interest rates and that cannot last forever) I am still convinced they will come down eventually. Because new collectors dont come in any near the numbers oldtimers drop out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidTheDavid Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I bought a raw VF+ ASM 129, had it pressed and slabbed, got a 9.2, and sold it because, you know, profit. I had a Hulk 181 that went from a 5.5 universal slab to a press and resub at 7.5. Couldn't resist the holla dolla bills and sold that, too. Now I own no copies of either and, of course, the price just climbs. And I bought a BB 54 7.5 universal maybe three years ago for $250.00 from MCS. Man, wish I had that back, too.

CJ1970 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) 30 Days of Night 1 Spiral Edition Sold it on the boards years ago. (Bought on the boards even earlier) I wish I had it back. (Impossible book to find) Action 252 , I sent in to get graded in 2008. Came back 5.5 Solid for 550 on Clink that year. 550 is no longer near the going rate for 5.5 Edited January 17, 2018 by CJ1970 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
