I can also add reddit as a friendly platform for comic discussions. Buy and sell groups on facebook are not such fun for me though. I still feel these boards have too much emphasis on buying and selling which detracts from newer members who just want to talk about the latest story or artist/writer team on Aquaman. Admittedly, I do not read aquaman. But I do plan to sit down and read Vs #1 from Image tonight. Those other places... they hurt my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep running into some of our current and previous frequent flyers over on eBay. Just came across another one this morning, and I was thinking, "wow - a lot of great, tightly-graded books - wonder why they aren't for sale on the boards?" Someone recently told me I should display my wares over there too, as I would sell more product and get more for it. I'm wondering too if the deadness might be caused by the exit of the SA crowd, and it being replaced by deep-pocketed GA collectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you cant flip it, they don't want it. I miss the old Friday/Saturday night threads of guys like FT selling off pages upon pages of nice HG non key issues for good prices. But once the new regime made it's way in it became harder and harder to move those books as the boards have been molded to a place to recycle keys, and forget ever getting a deal, if something reasonable does come along it is bought and put up on Ebay the same day it arrives in the mail. There simply just aren't many collectors left here. And don't get me wrong, I sell comics non stop, but I have never abused the community the way some of these guys do.

I guess I'm still mostly a collector, and still getting deals here. Got some great stuff lately out of October's thread. However, I guess I am spending more on eBay as of late.
