That would not get you very far at a convention or apparently on these boards. You simply do the research and then make a final decision on the deal going forward. Hell, this would be frowned upon in any business transaction. Could you imagine leaving a used car salesman with that? Bad deal but also Hulk 181 is overpriced. While there are fewer hulk 181s in higher grade, as in every book, they are always for sale and extremely common being from the bronze age. I can find a 9.2 cgc hulk 181 every day of the year on an auction house. this isn't a "professional" transaction. It's two dudes with comics working out a trade. If we're gonna judge, I think its unprofessional for the other trader to let this guy leave it with such a limbo statement like "I'll take it but..." If I was a dealer working with the OP I would have told him that I was going to leave the book available for sale unless the OP was agreeing to the trade (now if the trade is so advantageous for me, maybe I soft play it and set the Xman 1 aside in hopes of the trade coming to fruition since I come out so far ahead). But if it's just two dudes swapping books in their collection there's no loss to the time wasted in the trade not happening. If if's with a dealer and he's taking the Xmen 1 out of circulation awaiting the trade maybe he misses out on a sale elsewhere of the book. also "Hulk 181 is overpriced"? Do you mean over-valued? And do you not think that the market takes into account availability as it comes to a pricing level? If the book were less available, it would cost more, and if it was more available, it would cost less,,, And yes you can find one easily, but there are also multiple interested parties when you find it...so the level of demand is in equilibrium with the price...

MGsimba77 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 (edited) Had the OP said "I'll agree to that deal" without any qualifier then yes he'd be backing out. He didn't agree to anything! "Tentatively agreed" does not mean agreed. Besides GSXM has been shooting up for some time now. As far as MCU, it would be an easier transition for the current movie universe to work in "new X-MEN" than the original cast. I'd have no idea how how they could somehow coherently work in the old cast? Terrible deal! Here's a link that gets into how easy it would be for the MCU to work in Wolverine based on 2008's Hulk movie & General Thaddeus Ross super soldier program https://screenrant.com/xmen-mcu-incredible-hulk-wolverine-theory/ Edited March 12, 2019 by MGsimba77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is in the CGC pressing group. I do not press don't ask. There is a man in Florida that I ask from time to do that and he does excellent work. However it is... an 'interesting' group to follow. Simply go there and type in '181' and it will come up. He said he pulled the trigger. I assume that he confirmed to do the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No origin story... just along the lines of, "Hello, Charles Xavier, my name is Tony Stark and I'm a big fan of yours." There is a part of me that thinks that Stark will not be killed off in Endgame. I think they want this option to bring him back from time to time to drop into other movies if required. Of course RDJ would not mind suiting up for the boatload of cash he will receive each time.

Dan82 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I'd do the deal if it were a straight swap. A quid the other way, or a 7 nifty as it'd be here, I don't reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Wow, most of them it looks like!) Just skip Wolverine as he is the only one all over the screen. Two actors for each. It does seem like more than that, admittedly. I also agree with Buzzetta's post last page. IH 181 has not yet hit its ceiling, and GSX1 is just waiting to explode, pending MCU announcements. They've got much more room to move than X-Men 1. Even ignoring that, it's a bad deal for you. Tbh I also don't think much of that particular copy of X1, sorry, but if you're happy with it, then great. I hope you guys come to agreeable terms, though, and that you get the book you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I said I pulled the trigger, that was when I told the dude I wanted to so more research. That is why I posted here. But this being my first thread I was subject to being reviewed by a monitor. Taking into account the feedback from as FB and then the feedback here I talked to the other guy again and we discussed it. No hard feelings either way and both hope to maybe do business in the future. Now seeing as my wife is currently in labour, I think that explanation is sufficient. It's early labour, but I really should go now. WISH ME LUCK! On 3/11/2019 at 3:59 PM, Buzzetta said: Pass... I thought this trade was already a done deal from something you said in the FB group.

Yes it kind of was but we hadn't worked out the logistics of it and between then and now I have heard a lot more opinions and have been given a lot more advice. I reached out to him today and expressed that I wasn't thrilled with it any longer and we are renegotiating. I feel like I've put too much value on that X Men1. But there are so many fewer of them than the books I hold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
