Sometimes you got to walk away from deals if you can't meet the price you think you should be paying for it.
For the amount he was asking I would have requested he throw in Dracula #10 to sweeten the deal or offer $700. You are correct when mentioned the cost of reboarding and bagging in addition to the time you have to put in. Never feel bad about negotiating a better price. Dig watching your determination to improve in the comic business. I know it isn’t always easy. 👍
Well put!
That is very true but I honestly think he didn't have to re-bag the entire collection, I would just rebag the ones that are worth a bit more money but everything he was planning to sell for $0.50-$2.00 was not necessary to rebag and look pretty and could have been sold as is. I can tell he is a bit picky when it comes to presentation and condition but I don't think people who will buy the books that are below $2.00 care about the condition or new bags at that price point.
People buying cheap books online are usually the ones who complain the most in my little comic selling experience so far. If selling at a flea Market who cares but online people complain. @@jon6309
I totally understand. Bulk is one of the necessary evils when buying someone’s collection but it consumes your time and makes you second guess your purchase. Keep moving forward friends
I watch quite a few comics videos and a lot of sellers price at two to four dollars a book especially at conventions. Try for two dollars if you are worried, three dollars if you have no worries and four dollars if the book is nice. Your attention to detail Angelo is A PLUS, Sara as well. Keep up the great videos. 😃
Seems like it will take a super long time if ever to ever turn a profit off that collection. Plus the time consumption of boxing and shipping. I just always think if I had 1500 I would just buy some really cool keys and not just random stuff that always looks like leftovers from a shop that’s gone out of business
The cards would make a great book marker in the plastic sleeve and I would pay five dollars each for them. Good Luck 👍
I really enjoy your channel and watching you two do your hunting..I just started up collecting again it has been awhile,it started back in 1982 all the the way to 1990 then I joined the navy and left my comics to my younger brothers wishing I would have kept them but that is how it goes. And was picking some up while I served but I lost my inner child.well I’m 52 now and I’m starting over now and loving it and it helps me to watch you two to help me know what to look for and I thank you for that.well long winded old guy I can’t spend much because I have health concerns but I go thru my lbs and find cheap books and new things to try I can usually only spend 40 to 60 a month but I’m happy to be able to do that much and feel young again and have those adventures I sure did love as a kid. Thank you both keep it up and I will always follow you two,John.
Alot of cool comics, I think you will sell them well! Great video, You both have a great weekend! Until next time! 😊❤️🇺🇸
You are incredibly nice and well mannered. I always love your enthusiasm but, I would have passed on that collection. There was nothing special in there at all. A book I can only sell for a $1 gets offered .25 at best. I hope you make your money back. Remember books from the 90's or later have to be in 9.6 to 9.8 condition to sell cheap. Low grade copies should be put in the recycling bin or given to a church or library. Copper age books need to be in very high grade to sell unless it's a big key which are few and far between. I didn't see any bronze or silver age where low grade will sell easy. Great video as always.
I think it's worth re-bagging everything does force you to take your time looking at what you buy. Weirdly relaxing as well. Loved the Ghost Rider comics, the cards are pretty cool too.
You have to take your time and do your due diligence when buying large collections. Seeing some keys with foxing, stains and creases can be annoying when you get home. I would have set some of the $5-$50 keys, set them aside and checked them rigorously. I would have maybe offered him $500 based on condition. There were a TON of 0.50 cent comics there that are really not worth the time. I would have paid $1K if he had thrown in the Tomb of Dracula 10. NO TOD 10, no deal. You look3e disappointed towards the end of the video. Great content and I appreciate seeing real collectors who make mistakes. We've all been there.
Wicked long-form vid! So hard to gauge with collections. You don’t want to be a jerk to people in the community and low ball but at the same time if it’s your full time gig you gotta be realistic and offer what you can in order to make even the smallest profit. Also, Not every collection needs to be acquired. Anyway, good luck and all the best 🤘🤘🤘🤘
This seller reminds me of my younger self, 95% of my comics were stored at my parents' house and whenever we visited them I'd take back the old comics I'd read and bring away a new pile to read - not literally new as they were all Silver and Bronze Age but new because I hadn't read them in years.
I didn't know about Two-Gun Kid #77 and the Black Panther prototype, an interesting bit of Marvel history.
As a viewer this was a fun video but as a seller Angelo you're right, there's a lot of repetitive work getting the comics ready to sell for not a huge return.
You lost money on this deal. In the future, remove the higher valued books from the bags to examine them. If the higher value books are bronze, then check for the MVS, don't take the risk. Take your time to do that, and if the seller won't let you, then that's a red flag and you should move on. Include the common books in the sale lot, but don't examine them because they are not worth your time to look through. That's the way you go through this type of collection. And whatever their asking price is, unless it is already rock bottom, cut it in half or less. It was good you explained the cost of bags/boards, but you have a lot more expenses such as your time doing all the work re-bagging and selling, plus all your indirect costs as well as opportunity costs as it will take time to sell all those books and your money otherwise invested could have otherwise been earning interest during that time, plus whatever storage costs. And remember 90s books for the most part are worthless, very few exceptions. I do enjoy your videos, good luck going forward.
Hi Angelo, Great video about Comic Collector Sells His Childhood Marvel Collection,Keep them coming,Also your video was outstanding, Also Solid Collection and Sharp pick ups. It's unreal how much a new bag and board can make a Book look better sometimes a world of difference between before and after. Also as always I enjoy all your videos a lot God Bless Kris. I too loved The Ghost Rider comics but I also loved The Blade Vampire Hunter Comics as well, The Cards/Trading Cards are pretty cool too. Also both the Tour and Walkthrough Brian's House in Florida was superb, Also Brian's Childhood Collection from Blade The Vampire Hunter to X-Men was Remarkable,Also I think it's worth re-bagging everything does Force you take your time looking at what you buy Weirdly relaxing as well.Loved not only The Captain America Comics, not only loved The Tomb Of Dracula Comics but also Moribus The Living Vampire Comics as well. Also the cards are superb as well. Also Just keep up the hard work eventually it will pay off. It also always helps to have someone supporting your hobbies. Also Brian is one friendly and nice guy, Also I have to take your time and do diligence when buying Large collections. Also Great but incredible content Alot of cool comics, I think you sell them well Great but Superb video also thank you for sharing Angelo and you too Sara all I can say is: keep up the good work stay safe out there in Florida,have a nice day, and you both have a great weekend until next time.🙂🟢🦸🇺🇲🏋️✌️🤩💚❤️💪
Those were some great picks brother! You're doing great! Btw I collect Marvel Cards. Cheers! 🍻
Good video. For the keys you discovered in the collection $1700 was not a bad price overall. Though I feel your pain on shelling out $1700; it is part of the game. Pricing of bags and boards are part of the process, and like others commented - you're not re-bagging the $5 and under books. Condition of the books were decent considering he enjoyed them and he threw in those cards. Y'all will make a good ROI on it.
Wow, like the selection of these.
Just keep up the hard work eventually it will pay off. it also always helps to have someone supporting you in your hobbies.
solid collection and sharp pick ups.
its unreal how much a new bag and board can make make a book look better.sometines a world of difference between before and after.
enjoy your videos alot
God bless
kris
a press before the bag and board is miraculous!
Another great video and kickass finds
Got some decent stuff going to be a long haul to get your money back. A lot of work. At least mine were new bag and boards lol have a good one guy's
hmm it seems like buying by bulk is not the best strategy in this business unless you are able to find very strong key issues that would make up for the price of the entire collection. I mostly dig in $1 bins for minor key issues or covers that I really like but I don't spend hundreds or thousands of dollars per transaction.
Glad to see a reseller take a hit! Lord knows they all try to rape everyone else with their prices!
Yup!!
I love watching your videos. Also like looking at the comments cause as a consumer people think OH WOW 1.50 a comic great deal. As a comic seller 1.50 for a comic with no big keys kinda bleh I would have stuck to 500ish since there was a past relationship maybe 700-800. I always try to buy collections were the keys help offset the cost of the bulk. I cherry pick anything 10plus gets pulled put the rest in short boxes and sell the short boxes for 20.00-50.00 just to get them out of the way. But you are on Whatnot from what I hear that is a great place to move bulk comics. Wish the best of luck in your comic adventures. Will keep watching always put out fun videos.
When are you going to post the comic swap video?
May I ask what the purpose is of re bagging and boarding the book when they are already boarded and bagged????? Why would they be sticky???
Good buy. If you’re happy then no problem.
Nice pick up, maybe go little lower per book on large buys
The Tomb of Dracula issues were nice.
Nice haul but I definitely would have threw him a low ball offer and go from there. Imo $1500 was too much, especially since you found out u got burned when u got home and noticed a bunch were JC Penny reprints. When he pulled out the Black Panther prototype and the Tod 10, I would have focused all my attention towards those two books and try to make a deal! Live and learn! Enjoyed the video till the last half when u were back home looking thru the books and cards..... She should have zoomed out while filming... I was getting a headache during that part! 😂
What covers are you using they seem nicer than the regular cover bags
Oohhh, when the relationship outweighs the value type of situation? I can only imagine walking away from a good collection expecting it to be better than it is simply because of the pressure of the relationship to make a sale. Dont take it too hard though.
True to the game! nice
Those Tomb of Dracula are great, would love to get some, you guys got a Sub from me.
Do you still have the Conan collection? I’m starting to collect those comics
Divino gracias por compartir
How much is the Ghost Rider 93?
Cool comics man, imo you overpaid? I think about $700 would have been fair?
Man i would get marvel card from the 93-97 runs as a kid besides comics not even sure if they still make cards like those these days .but those where the days
Someone tried getting me for the reg value on an ultimate Spider-Man 1 Payless for the regular book cause the look so similar till I asked him to show me the back of the book and saw the difference.
I got started into Comics from the J.C. Penny Christmas Catalog starter boxes. I remember before I stopped collecting they started including reprints and it sucked.
Nice collection it just the plastic bags are old.
You guys should come to comican in new york city
Being too hard on yourself. No way you could closely examine over 1,100 comics. Maybe you could have argued price more, especially since you did mention they have to be re-bagged and boarded. The books you said would be $0.50 I thought could easily be $1.00. I would sell them as $1.00 or six for $5.00. Just some thoughts, I thought the collection was very interesting, just not NM stuff. Good luck!
better get those in the press!!!
I think you are being extremely picky
Spectacular Spider-Man 27 I had the original
Ya man, this is a slow burn collection. You might break even but it will take a long time, and time is money. I think you're a nice guy and you're trying to be fair to the seller, but you also have to think about yourself and your business..haggle haggle haggle and sometimes just walk away. Save your money for really nice collections or buy keys at auction. Thia ia one that i would have walked away from. Just my 2 cents.
Was that tattoo on your arm of Wolverine getting shot with arrows? Is that from any particular issue?
I think a fair price for this lot would be closer to $700-$800. The keys from this aren’t worth a whole lot, and the rest of the books are $.50 stuff.
When I buy a collection, I see if I can make money on the keys to cover the cost of the collection and for extra money. the rest is just fillers
Risky man for not checking for marvel value stamps in those ToD books. Especially paying 1.50
what do you do with the old bags and boards ?
The bags get thrown away but the boards get reused if they are not damaged or dirty.
@@TheComicsDen thanks''
Nothing wrong with being picky with condition. Been doing it for 40 years.
Do u read all these comics, or do u just like the covers?
We read a lot of different comics but we also love them for the art.
'sick.'
Hey everyone subscribe like and comment this video 😊
I hate when people don't look after their books properly.
You know alot but lots u don't know as well
soooo i didnt like the way he organized the books by stacking them. lol that was already a red flag BUT a lot of people do that because they like to read the books lol or whatever reason its just habit for some people.
Dollar books should be 2 or 3$ books nowadays..1 dollar isn’t worth shit.
When u offered $1500, even that seemed 1k to high.
1100 Comics at $1 Book Dark Marvel Horror Run! ❤️ 😡 🎃 The Comics are All Ready Bagged and Boarded, you giving Him The Runaround! 🙂😄😁
Actually this is better than most collections you buy but honestly you need to study these other CZcamsrs cause you not doing it right. Or at least watch them for actually trying to flip for profit
Which other youtuber would you recommend it watch to learn more?
Dude robbed the soul out of you. He’s probably laughing at how bad he took you and to not throw in that first blade? This was cringe and I almost feel like donating to you because you got robbed
He robbed the guy $1.50 is too cheap
@@kendallkidd20 completely disagree with you. He will be very lucky to make his money back. The vast majority of that collection are dollar books or less. That doesn't include his time which is going to be wasted. You don't buy a collection of that size unless you can double your money. That collection walks into a Comic Book store he would be very lucky to get offered $500. Those books are as common as common gets.
@@iceman2796 comic book stores don’t offer sh!t that’s a stupid analogy, I could sell that collection for twice what he paid easy you sell individually you don’t get value selling altogether and his time spent has nothing to do with it
Just the amount of time it would take to move all that would not be worth it. After Fees and taxes he is walking away with like 500-700 but it will be a while before some one actually buys them going to be sitting on that for a while. 500-700 would be most I would offer. I am not wasting my time selling stuff for a dollar or .50 cents. Try to sell that rough stuff online and see how long it takes. People always forget about the expenses sellers have to cover to actually sell comics. Shipping Materials, Taxes, Fees, bag boards, and most of all TIME!
