Yeah I seen a avenging spiderman, how the heck I miss listing that! Some books if you missed took a big hit. Shazam ms marvel. Same here though just tying up lose ends. Pretty much anything that has been in movie or show I have sold. Thought I would miss some books, nope not at all. Plus the newest reprints are pretty good, way better than the true believers. May never keep a af 15 hulk 181 etc again unless market crashes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall, though, if there are a lot of screaming bargains in recent auctions, I missed them. I didn't look at it. Not sure how many bargains I see on heritage so dont follow them too closely. But platinum age would be possible now. Over 5 grand might be some deals. Just anything popular and can be bought with a stimulus check is selling great.

Notably the elitecomics11 remedy tour broadcasts are getting tons of sales and getting some prices I am surprised at too. Same goes for the torpedo comics streams, basically getting graded prices on raw. occasionally I have seen comments in the stream saying the prices are high which gets shut down really quickly, but it doesn’t seem to affect buying anyway This. i've noticed some pretty high prices on these IG live broadcasts where buyers are just relying on someone telling them a raw book's grade during the broadcast with no real close-ups or interior inspection of the book. Some of these prices are sticker prices you would see at cons and, boom, the books are getting sold very quickly. oldbsturgeon and Myowncollector 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littledoom Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Buyers are paying full retail prices even on items I had best offers on that sat for months ... getting very little messages compared to usual about lowering the price.. buyers are paying up.. they need to fill voids Myowncollector 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to add buyer's premium and then nearly an extra 10% for taxes. It's hard to figure out exactly what the final ticket price will be. I've been burned a few times by not doing enough research into their additional costs.

theCapraAegagrus Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 FMV = "Fair Market Value" If something is "FMV", how can it be "inflated"? Asking for a friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well for example before a sale on HA a 9.8 of ASM 50 was $34,000 because of the sales premium on HA after auction the book was $58,000. But do you even collect?

romanheart Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 To be honest, I have cash and I like nice things, but I don't feel comfortable buying comics just now. So, I'm really surprised at how well overall sales are doing. I think it's good that the economy is resilient but I keep thinking there is a reckoning that's going to happen sometime in the near future.

Far too many ifs, buts and maybes with their auctions. You never know where you stand until beyond the last minute, even if you have actually won a book, and as you say all the extras are a deal breaker anyway. And call me crazy, but I've never been comfortable with an auction house that operates out of a state where 'shill bidding' is in fact legal.

Yeah its ridiculous And the only benefit to the company is the rarity of some of the books they acquire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get where you are coming from because I feel exactly the same about Football. For me during this pandemic, I have immersed myself back into the world of comic books, bought a few nice books and sold a couple. Maintaining focus on the hobby I love has really helped me deal with the day to day much more effectively. But I guess it's each to his own.
