Modern Comics Heating Up (Those With Potential Too) (Part 1)

I agree, If you buy out all of the comics at your LCS that is rude.

When it was first offered I thought it was a cool cover with potential. Lots of baroness variants go for good money.

Flippers are scalpers to by this definition. Scalping is such a silly term to use in the collectible resale arena.

We are splitting hairs a bit as there are comic readers who view anyone who buys a comic with the intent to resell it as trash. If we’re being honest we can’t act too high-and-mighty about flipping/speculating even if we avoid doing lame stuff such as shelf-clearing as those opposed to ever reselling comics will lump us in with our scuzzy relatives whether we like it or not. My 2 cents.

My definition of a scalper in the collectible resale space is someone who buys out as much inventory as possible to corner the market.

When I buy for spec I only buy 2 copy’s max. There are kids that just collect to read the book and enjoy it, thats why we love this hobby so much to enjoy it.

I hope you get it, I’ve had quite a few comics that I pre-ordered on that site mysteriously get “cancelled” by the publisher. I rarely order there now…

Tfaw has the Eight Billion Genies #1 1:10 Variant up for $5.99. Swarm, swarm.

BA 1 and 2 Foil covers will make a good set if his potential is realized.

It says REMINDER.

You’re AWFUL

I edited it after the fact

The informal definition of ‘scalping’ is; to resell at a large or quick profit.

‘Scalping’ is a very appropriate term for flipping new comics. :beers:
