Odds and Ends

Gold had a good year too.

I don’t know that it’s a bubble people have been taking profits off silver and gold but it looks like it’s heading towards at least $100 for silver and 5000 for gold this year. The silver pandas I got for my kids at Thanksgiving for Christmas presents I paid $62 for now worth $126.

I’ve been contemplating selling off my junk silver coins perhaps… I think we’ll see this drop again in the future but very enticing for sure.

taking profits is not a bad idea, I have junk gold and silver, broken chains, earrings, stuff like that I have found over the years. Now is the time to cash in

It’s coming down to the silver futures being snatched up so quickly. That is what is driving up the prices on silver. It is needed because of its conductivity, so industrial buyers are snatching it up. Not just a hedge against inflation, or speculator buyers. Speculator buyers are dumb to jump in this high.

Another thing that is going up is RAM memory. My oldest told me that due to AI needing it, prices are going up. So buy up those old computers and save those RAM chips.

Selling streak continues. Since 1/1/26 I have made at least one sale everyday and averaged 3 most days. One day had one sale, one day had 8. I had sales from the day after Christmas up until New Year’s Eve as well. All in all it has been a very strong market lately for me. Wish I could do this full time.

Let me add that it has been pretty evenly split between eBay and Mercari.

How do we find that wiki list of comics to keep our eyes peeled for?

75% of comic sales have been Ebay since 1/1/26.

80% of sales have been DC books. 10% Marvel and 10% Image.

There will only ever be one Laura Croft for me.

Lara Crap

A large majority of my sales are DC right now. And a large majority of that large majority has been Absolute titles. I have been selling them like crazy. Helps that I have been buying issues almost daily and restocking. Absolute is a sales juggernaut.

My label printer came with a pack of labels, I want to say 50. I have gone through them all and loaded the 1,000 pack I got for Christmas as well. Going to see how long that lasts.

Had to put another order in for mailers. Got a 50 pack right before new years, which jibes with my labels. I think I have done 50 sales in 15 days. So averaging about 3 a day still.

Sold an Exquisite Corpse 1, Absolute Martian Manhunter #4 and Absokute BatmanArk-M special today. So 2/3 Absolute

And just sold another Ark-M special. I need to go back and get more. These aren’t bringing in huge profits but I have been selling a lot of them and it adds up.

Hayley Atwell is my Lara Croft simply because she reminds me of the actual game character that I used to play. Nothing to do with her amazing physical attributes :wink:

Okay, okay. It can be both

Ok. Who buys the blank covers? Or the foil covers? Usually wrapped in white paper to keep the covers from being messed up…

I have a question, do you leave the protective paper on the front? Do you take it off? If you take it off does it ruin the value? Does cgc grade with the white paper ones you can’t see the cover?
