Conacon Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 This. So this guy thinks the one on the left is an X-Men book. And they're still in their plastic covers, guys! I swear, I live in the wilderness. There are two more posts that state, "still in original packaging" bc some guy before him bagged and boarded them!

dupont2005 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I remember seeing an ad for a way overpriced junk collection but im the pic was an issue of RAW, and I was still completing my set. So I messaged him and said I’d be willing to buy just that comic for $50. I think he wanted $75 for the collection but the other 5 or t issues were just beat to hell Youngblood and X-Men #1’s or whatever. He agreed. When I got to his house he pulled out two more issues of RAW that he didn’t list, said I could have them all for $50 each. I only had $100 in my pocket, not expecting to see more good stuff. He gave them all to me for the $100, pretty good score from a bad ad ADAMANTIUM, Ken Aldred, The Lions Den and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"WHOLESALE INVESTMENT PRICE! I don't know much about comics, but these are very rare and in mint condition. Asking price $200. Get these before some smart investor does." Amen! This weekend I responded to an add that had Strange Tale 146, 147, 157, and Shazam 1 along with a few "meh" books. I asked him to send pics of each cover for me and they were not the best representation of the books to say the least. We haggled a little and agreed to meet. When I saw the books in person, it was like someone took my beer goggles off the morning after. They were beat up pretty bad. Like 1.5 to 3.5 bad. I explained how important condition was and had to pass. Wasted an evening on that one. He took the time to explain to me his research. For example- he found an example of one of his books graded at a 9.8 for $750. So he had $750 written on that issue's bag. He said, " I know you have to pay a percentage to get it graded, but I think it would be worth it." I told him he should put the lot on ebay and hope for the best. Another guy this weekend had a She Hulk 1 and 25 (plus some obligatory 90's random junk that everyone likes to throw into a deal) for $70. I thought it might be worth a look. When I contacted him, he said he'd decided to pull the ad and sell them with the rest of his collection. "I'll take $450. I have 600-700 issues. I've been collecting for almost 20 years, so I know what I have. It's a steal. I just want them out of my living room." His one pic of the collection was two long boxes with a stack of 90's Batgirl on top. Looks like he had a full run of nothing for me. kav 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conacon Posted September 3, 2019 Author Share Posted September 3, 2019 Nah, people who don't know any better thinking they know better. Another ad wants to sell Hulk 340 for $150- not NM. And Spider-Man 300 for $500- definitely not NM. And there's that lady who think her kid's mid/late 90's Spider-Man comics are worth their weight in gold.
