Modern Comics Heating Up (Those With Potential Too) (Part 2)

Someone dumped x50 copies of WTC main on eBay

Probably the dealer that canceled the two I ordered off of Hip Comics for cover a few days ago.

It Nirvana Comics, who’s having a Quesada signing this weekend

[rob92807]

I ordered from JAF comics on Hip comics. They had 10 available at $10 each with shipping included… Apparently there was something wrong with the system or how it was listed (yeah right)… Probably on the wall of their store for a higher price.

[thefallenone]

I’ve had 2/2 orders cancelled through Hip Hop

[rob92807]

Yeah, I have more cancelled over the years from that site than any other. I doubt there are any repercussions for deadbeat dealers.

[MrComo]

I ordered from about 12 different shops knowing that some would cancel. So far I know I’ll be getting at least 15 copies of A and 3 copies of the 1 per store. 1 per stores were an average of $25 apiece.

Start a thread called “Deadbeat Comicbook Dealers” and let the comic book world know what dealers are practicing shady retailer tactics by cancelling orders on hot comics so they can up the price after the fact…

Done.

There is one for online shops.

Online Comic Store Report Card

Alright, I’ve got a lot of orders out with Manu different shops, and they’re starting to get delivered. And with so many hot books and many of us scrambling to find an online shop that’s not sold out, well it’s good to hear some feedback on some of these more obscure ones. So this isn’t a place to gripe about Midtown’s shipping delays, or TFAW’s flimsy mailers, MCS’s shipping charges, Mile High‘a archaic web design or unknown Comic Books lack of customer service. It’s for grading the little a…

That’s true but that’s full report type of topic, figured it’d be like the eBay where it’s specifically where they cancel orders on you on books that suddenly heat up and they cancel to turn more profit…

[D-Rog]

@D-Rog

They did have the one per store, which wasn’t out before. Asking $45. I doubt anyone will grab it unless it goes nuclear…I may have to keep an eye on it….

Still had it behind the counter at $45. I just couldn’t pull the trigger. Books are sitting at $90. I figured out if I sold it at $90, I’d only make about $25 profit at best after fees and taxes. And with the risk it may continue to drop that’s not enough profit margin for me to take on that risk.

do you know that some seller accounts are linked to be identical to their ebay accounts
but hip doesnt take down the listings if it sells on ebay

@billyraybob

That’s too bad. If there is the ability to do that, they should. It would save a lot of headaches.

[monopolyjackson]

LOL

Because the seller has NO IDEA what condition the book will arrive as, this is a very ballsy presale.

[Bill]

It’s looking more like someone missed the boat …
Is there a kicking myself in the ass emoji somewhere?

[D-Rog]

First to market usually gets the best sale. Even if it’s not the first in hand.

Person also didn’t advertise it as NM or any condition. So technically it could be any condition.

[Anthony]

Sold a “They Choose Violence #1” for $15.

[Kevin]

[Anthony]

Sold a second one too. (They Choose Violence).
