A page out of the sopranos book. Thats funny.
and youre the only one that got it
Amazing video!👍👏 I just began my comic book collection and found Toon Haven. They have an incredible range of digital comics for every genre, including the hard to find ones. Lifetime updates too!😁
LOL you had me checking my internet connection 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Long boxes are a young man’s game.
No doubt. I had to downsize all my long boxes to short. Those bastards are too heavy for my aging bones.
@@thetoyboxthetoybox8305 Agreed. Also, a box of modern age comics weighs like twice as much compared to previous comic ages.
Gorgeous collection.
😂😂😂😂😂 I was scrolling through the empty darkness screaming on the inside "noooo! what's the value?......"😭😭😭😭😭
🤣🤣🤣
Always awesome to see someone's collection...what you have, how it's organized, how it's stored, handling practices, display practices, recordkeeping, etc. Alas, I was really looking forward to hearing what you think about its "retail" value. I understand that's not what you'd get if you're suddenly wanting (or needing) to flip it, but it'd be nice to know. I'd say $55K because my collection is similar. All that being said, we know the day of selling will be like spending the night with Ramsey Bolton. Get ready for the pain.
13 Dwight Schrute Bucks
What did you do to earn those Schrute bucks… or did you pull a Creed and print off a bunch of them yourself?
@@johnnydropkicks careful what you say… would hate for you to get a… protuberance
Okay, now that's funny. You have a pretty sweet collection, SG. 🤩
Lotta truth in this video regarding realistic expectations of sales & helpful detachment using key collector as a resource in your valuation.
Cool transparency here too
Only mistake is using the notoriously inaccurate GoCo for pricing. GPA, Covrprice, Heritage, ebay sales are all good.
As a collection buyer, books under $50 are almost inconsequential to the offer. Books under $10 are part of the "bulk" portion of the offer, and books under $5 can actually lower the offer if there are a lot of them.
The amount of work and hard costs that go into processing a book for individual resale (which is what someone buying your collection is going to do, regardless of what they say) makes low-dollar books very unattractive.
If you are valuing your collection for insurance purposes, use the FMV of every single book. If you are trying to figure out what you (or your ungrateful heirs) can actually *sell* them for as a collection, price out the heavy hitters, cut that by 30-40% and you'll be in the ballpark.
P.S. For those about to furiously type at me about just selling them yourself: Unless someone is already a seller, they aren't going to sell their own comics individually. I've seen this play out a thousand times. They start and might sell a few books. Then they realize just how much freaking work goes into each and every book and how little the return is when compared to the starry vision they had when they started. Almost every single person will quickly get to the point where they just sell it all as a lot.
Incomplete list of costs that have to be paid by an individual seller (online and conventions only):
Bare minimum:
-The cost of the book (duh)
-Bags: Magazine, Super-Golden, Golden, Silver, Modern. Poly and Mylar
-Boards: same set
-Painters Tape: You can get the self-adhesive bags, or clear tape, but you'll regret it eventually.
-Boxes (magazine size and regulars. Short or long (I prefer short)
-Scanner. Phone pics are not viable if you are moving any kind of volume. You'll be better off with scanners for raws and slabs, but let's say just one.
-Thermal Printer (you could use another kind, but thermal really is cheaper overall)
-Regular printer (packing slips, pick lists,..basically anything not a label of some kind)
-Printing supplies (paper, labels, ink, toner, consumable parts like rollers)
-Computer (but you probably already have one, so that doesn't really count)
-Subscriptions. Oh lord this is a broad (and expensive) category. Pricing tools, marketplace storefronts, website hosting, accounting software...the list just goes on and on.
-Shipping materials - Comic mailers, slab mailers, shipping tape.
If you do live sales and convention sales:
-Tables
-Table covers
-Display racks
-Flyers/Business cards
-Signage
-Dolly/cart
-Venue fees
-POS (can be cheap to expensive)
But wait... all of that (and more) and we haven't sold a single book 😲
Once you sell: (note-fees are calculated on the selling price + shipping + tax combined)
-Payment processor fees. These can vary but are usually 3-4%
-Marketplace fees. 8% to 20% is normal. Note that many platforms charge a per-transaction fee (30 or 40 cents) that significantly raises the effective fee for low-dollar books. Example: WhatNot technically charges 8%, but on a dollar book the effective rate is actually 41% because of the per-transaction charge.
-Postage
-Chargebacks. Yes, you will get unwarranted chargebacks. People are bastards.
And let's not forget... after all is said and done and you manage to eek out a profit; the IRS wants 20-30% of that.
All of this also assumes you don't value your time at all.
In a nutshell, unless you are willing to take on all of that^^, you're going to sell your collection for significantly lower than FMV.
Comic reselling isn't a way to make easy money. It's a labor of love that hopefully profits enough to let you keep doing it.
@@SinbadComics Not that I would ever avoid paying taxes, but if you made live convention cash-only sales, could you, in theory, cut the IRS?
@@comicbooknarcissist in theory, though I wouldn't recommend it. An audit would turn up bank deposits or unaccounted-for purchases that would have to be explained.
I love the Troll ending...masterful!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
Unfortunately, "worth," as you stated, does not often equate to what you will get for the books.
Sticky your collection is awesome!! Wow
Rocky watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat. Sticky Sticky Sticky. Does mother Goose know you are playing games with your loyal followers?? Actually I thought it was pure genius. PS. Value? You made some good points but. I don’t think you touched on everything. Desirability and Liquidity are two things to consider. How fast do you need to the money and does anyone want all of the books in your collection and do you really care. I mean how many People are looking for Animal Man comics. And one other real important thing to consider is that you need to
Between 250k and 350k I'm guessing. Great video as always bud.
That’s funny, nice collection for sure.
You hooked us!!!
Cliffhanger!!
Guess we got to wait for the next video.
Wow, fantastic video. Thanks a lot!
Super helpful, totally worth watching
That’s fantastic, thanks for sharing
Great stuff. Thanks for sharing
It’s cool to see your raw books, nice!
I love videos like this!
Classic cliffhanger lol
Not me tweaking about ANOTHER DANG ADD!!! 😂
great content. ty
He got snapped by Thanos.
Perfect!
4 dollars and eighty eight cents, shoot me those silver age Spideys BrotatoChip
Cool series! Keep them coming
did you your sticky fingers jam up the record button…. Left us hanging here jeeez
Value means nothing without a cash offer. What's worth a thousand dollars to you may only be worth kindling to stoke a good fire to someone else.
Congratulations Captain Obvious!
@@Doc_Dooom You spelled Doom wrong.
@@thetoyboxthetoybox8305 and once again, we thank you for your rare powers of observation, Cap!
@@Doc_Dooom I don't think you're a real doctor.
I have 25,300 comics as of right now and CLZ goes up and down in pricing like crazy
@dwaynesmith9482 Braggart
There was not enough Sticky Goose in the body of this video for it to end well...🤣
Typical Goose! SMH, lord have mercy… someone save his wife!!!
I dont know! My internet connection got cut off around the 12 minute mark!
Well played Sir, well played
Fell for it😂
Nice collection
for 13 minutes you really don't say much of anything with substance.
Like the rest of his videos. Im done
I can't believe you still don't have a 1st appearance of Spider-Boy or Kid Venom 😅
My collection is worth exactly the same! Crazy!
Nothing but a Tease. 😂
I was like wtf?...🤣🤣🤣🤣
Value of the books is squat when we finally reach forever sleep.
Craziest books on the planet!
So just as your about to disclose the value of your collection you cut out to a few minutes of blackout nothing. What is that? Your lame attempt at a cliffhanger or use your imagination type gimmick? Okay. Not very clever, just kinda stupid.
This guy is a dumbass.
Left in suspense.
Colllecting is equal to buying low selling high stock market keep holding every book for 30 yrs lmao
The video went blank so you might wanna make another one.

the end of the video is missing
Worth 100 big macs and a happy meal?
Someone mentioned keeping your books for 30years. Some of us will be approaching 80 at that point. Will you even care about comics at that age? I will give mine away for free………maybe.
Space ... the final frontier
I guess he doesn’t want us to know the value of his collection. That, or his camera just died. 😐
This unfunny stunt just proves you don’t value the time of the people who watch your videos. Bad decision.
Is the correct answer!
If your time was that valuable you wouldn't be watching his videos.
@@Doc_Dooom As I have now unsubscribed thanks to this cunning stunt, I sure won't be wasting anymore time with Goose-boy.
@@Doc_Dooomthere are COUNTLESS accounts on this platform delivering quality content on this topic - this clown 🤡 decided to waste everyones time 🕰️ & prank his own followers with a false pretense. My time is valuable so I “unfollowed” this account to use my limited time to watch other providers that provide quality content & appreciate their followers support.
30k
Brilliant ending! 😂
What a tease
sticky goose!!!!!!!!!
Youre a nepo collector. Father gave you half to start.
I’d say just shy of 80 k
#UltimateLevelTrolling
Hahahahahaha trolled em
Wait...what the hell??!!
Troll ending made me think one of the cats stepped on one of the power strips switches again and turned off either the one to the modem or the one to the Firestick. Damn you, Stckygoose. Dislike and unsubscribe. (Just kidding. Made me laugh.)
???? No value given, no fun.
worthless , when it hits the fan comic books will be worthless . in the meantime they have value and society continues to roll along
Lmao this guys funny 15k
You got me too! Thought my internet had gone down at exactly the worst moment.... 😂
We have a very similar Fantastic Four run. 🫡
