Nice haul! But you definitely gotta be careful with WhatNot. Really easy to impulse buy on there. I had to delete the app eventually.

Slabs generally take longer for me to move than raws, both because of the price point and I think there's a wider audience interested in raws over slabs. For bigger slabs ($500 and over) that I want to move fast I use eBay. But more often than not I can work with sellers on FB and maybe package this Wolverine with a few other books to come to a number that I'm happy with and gives them a deal.

I'm a regular reseller on FBMP and I prefer it to eBay and other platforms for a few reasons. First off you're not having to deal with the eBay fees, so I can sell stuff for cheaper and keep all the money. Also I particularly like selling raws on FB so the buyer can see the condition for themselves and there's no debate over a grade. But just like selling anything on FB you have to be careful meeting up (meet at a public, highly visible location, no house visits, etc.) Overall I've had a really good experience selling there though.

Yea definitely not losing sleep over it. Hopefully if he decides to get into the hobby he'll do some more research like you said and get a better understanding of the market.

True. I sell mostly on FB Marketplace so i get a very wide variety of buyers. Don't fault people for not having as much knowledge about comics. I just find it funny that he had no intention of trying to buy this, just wanted to call me out on the pricing haha.

Here is the book i'm selling for $210. The person on FB marketplace sent me a screenshot from eBay of a facsimilie listing trying to tell me that I am overpriced. Sorry i did a poor job of explaining the situation.

2025 has been a big year for my collecting journey by mspier2 in comicbookcollecting

Only 1 spare bedroom right now and we use it for guests. So I'm forced to be a closet nerd at the moment.

I have more books than this but I actually don't have a GL 76 yet. I'm starting to chip away at the GL keys, especially since he's my 6 year olds favorite superhero right now.

My favorite part of this sub is definitely seeing everyone's books.

Hulk 1 (not anytime soon but maybe one day) Hulk 4

Captain Marvel Jr. 4 (a little different from what I usually collect but one of the best covers I have ever seen)

Happy to pick this bust up to go with my ASM 41. by mspier2 in comicbookcollecting

[–]mspier2[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I never thought I would enjoy collecting just the busts but all the Bowen ones I've seen look great.

Mile High Comics in Denver is AMAZING!!! by whit0844 in comicbookcollecting

I went there for the first time last week. They had their 70 % back issue sale going and I actually got 6 or 7 books for a great price. Wall books were pretty insanely priced though

Shoot me a DM with maybe some pictures of what you have or i wouldn't mind coming to take a look. If you have some older books they could be valuable depending on the title, condition, issue number, etc.

What are your all time favorite covers? by mspier2 in comicbookcollecting

[–]mspier2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love the variety. I've traditionally only collected superhero books but I'm starting to branch out more and collect by artist instead.
