How many years of income is your collection worth?

[ronm3-migration]

I had to sell my comics a few years ago and I lived off of the money for 3 years.

I just started buying back in but this time I plan on using this collection as a nest egg for my daughter.

As an example, if you make $40K a year and your collection is worth about $10K, that's about 3 months worth....

 

I'm no mathematician (nor can I spell at this hour), but is this not four months worth?

I don't even know whether I should reply to that...

 

 

Are there 16 months in a year?

maybe he uses some strange non-Roman calendar. i think the Sumerians had a sixteen month calendar.

 

oh and Mark...10/40 = 25%. 25% of 12 is...? three! stick to sticking it to The Man

in all honesty, i had you figured for busting out some insane, lawyerly defense, predicated on the graemlin you put in the first message.

 

i see now i had figured wrongly.

 

snarky evil laughter

I thought that it was an insance, lawyerly defense? Worked on judges!

Is this why legal fees are skyrocketing?

To masquarade my inability to do math or spell, yes.

I'm in the "A year or two" category, which is kinda is kinda frightening seeing I've only been collecting for 4 years

Does that include your drug money?

Bumping this poll, after seeing Gene's about percentage of net worth...

 

Curious as to what my Miata-jumping friend's answer would be now, given the speed with which he is accumulating Marvel runs.

[bullseye]

Mine's probably 6 months to a year, but I work part time so...

[1koko]

1 month

[delekkerste]

1 month

 

So, as per the other thread, 0.001% of your net worth is in comics/collectibles, which, in turn, is worth 1 month of your income.

 

If you do the math, your net worth is worth 100,000 months of your income, or, alternatively, 8,333.33 years of income.

 

I'm going to have to call BS here.
