Oooh…I want that Spectre 8. It is one of my “love that cover” comics. That one is by Nick Cardy (so underrated as an artist) and the story is an alliteration dream. The Power of Parchment Perilous.

I think your gonna make out. 100 slabs at $40 a piece is $4000. Obviously, your gonna make more on a lot of those slabs. Plus the major keys and then 20+ long/short boxes with a lot of $10-$20 dollar books. I think you made out pretty good.. 😵💫

With that many boxes, and the quality of the books in that first one alone.... I'd guess there's some way nicer keys hiding in there that the seller didnt even know about, $100+ books. I think you can definitely make back your money, but yeah it takes a long time to sell that many books.

22 long boxes. $9000. you're telling me this guy got $400 per long box? That seems pretty good. Most fair price I have ever heard a buyer give to a seller. You could easily recoup by blindfold re-selling some of those boxes unpicked at $600/box.

You have approximately 6200 books conservatively, main keys, plus slabs and you’re saying you’re paying too much? Let’s be clear everything worth while is work! Did you get it dirt cheap where you can obviously double your money? Uh, no! You cannot expect to double your shell-out every deal otherwise no one would want to give you deals. Be happy you have product. Not every deal is cream gravy on a plate handed to you. If you clear 30% profit every tax season when doing P&L statements when your books close you’re doing something good!

@@michaelsharkey4255 you know what’s really nuts? Look at American Gold 1oz Eagles. Each monster box contains 500 coins. The entire box weight is 46 pounds with all the packaging and gold. Total gold raw weight is approximately 34.39 pounds. Spot at the time I’m writing this is 2233.00 an ounce. Take 2233x500 coins and that comes out 1,116,500 dollars. I know a man who just sent a red monster box of American Gold Eagles to get certified. Gold commodities change every second during the work week. The price could drop big time Tuesday morning and he would be at a huge loss. I think it is safe to say no risk no reward. It’s all a perspective of what you’re willing to do and not do on risk. At least comics doesn’t change every second of the work week.

This is why some people become disillusioned with the hobby. It's not a hobby. It's predicated on an economic transaction and value where everyone is looking for value. It's not like other hobbies where people simply do it for the fun, and where vendors create things, not take advantage of others for profit.
