miraclemet Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 (edited) Put an X-Men 142 CGC 9.6 on eBay, you can see my result in red, and then every result after it.... *Headsmack* And yes I still remember this back from 2013. Even remember seeing the auction closeing as I gave my then 2 yo daughter her bath... Edited May 17, 2020 by miraclemet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could finish that darn basement! I am lucky I am always late and had no interest in selling until prices got so good I felt it was time. ( I might be saying same thing as you 15 years from now, who knows) But really who knew? Comics were the same price just about from 2000 to 2011. They would get a little boost from a movie but nothing like they do now. 2012 - 2013 everything doubled. MCU has produced unreal results. littledoom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myowncollector Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Yesterday I was selling ultimate fallout 4 sealed for $120 and asm 361 for $60. This thing called a stimulus check came out and all the sudden they doubled in value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kav Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 when I first started selling on ebay abt 8 years ago I thought you only got one pic so I stacked all my ditko spideys together in one pic showing only top of books and sold as lot. many buyers suspicious so didnt get many bids. Couple even messaged me what are you hiding? Some people got terrific bargains as result. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myowncollector Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Read some of your comments and it inspired me to add another terrible sale. Listed a New Mutants 98 Facsimile Reprint. I forget to remove the facsimile and reprint so it sold for $3 instead of the $130 that it should have brought. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the flight home posted them for $175 each , which i thought was a fair price, they all sold before i reached home. They are currently average $450 on Ebay. I never try to think about the money i could have made, i just think about the money i could have lost. Your mistake here was only purchasing three of them at the booth in the first place. I ended up getting 20 throughout Day 1 because I thought the book was a beauty, and if I got stuck with 20 of them, so be it... I posted a Friday night sales thread, including 15 of these that I listed at $60 each. They were all gone by Saturday, and by that time, the book was sold out at the show. Within three weeks, some sales jumped higher than $250 raw, especially for the lower numbers. Yet, I don't regret it. You win some, you lose some. A lot of boardies got some cool books, and these Wolvies helped pay for my show. Dmac538, 1950's war comics and thunsicker 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jharvey Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 My story is simultaneously one of the best scores I got on eBay, and also the best score someone got off me. A few years ago, I found a Magic the Gathering Collector's Edition boxed set for sale on Ebay for $40. It was worth around $1,500 at the time. This set was complete, and every card was near mint. It was sold by someone who obviously resells stuff from flea markets, garage sales, estate sales, etc., since they had all kinds of random stuff up for sale. Score! I really liked this set. It is comprised of a complete reprinted set of Magic the Gathering Beta cards, but with square corners and a gold border back. I kinda wanted to keep it long-term for the nostalgia, since I played MTG for years. However, the cards weren't actually tournament playable and I figured I better cash in now before MTG loses popularity and the cards lose value. I ended up re-selling the set for around $1,300. Huge win! Except for the fact that this set is now worth around $8,000 - $11,000. telerites and 1950's war comics 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite as bad as your story, but I believe I sold a decent raw copy here on the boards for $1. 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artboy99 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 does it have to be Ebay? I sold the "hated" Hulk 271 for a $1 when Rocket Raccoon got popular. I didn't know it was in my dollar box. Oh well. As a Hulk fan I can't stand the book, it is everything I don't want to read about. I mean look at this lame cover! Larryw7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
