Monthly pricing updates for multiple items, were the norm a couple years ago.
Possibly they're of no interest to yourself, but I found them to be very helpful. Don't understand why a paying member can't ask why a service is virtually dropped, without being told that it's not meant to be one of the functions of this site?


I only come to the forums. I tried the cataloguing features but it wasn't for me. Honestly? I don't know why anyone would continue to use the site when there are other options out there that are cheaper. Should you be upset yes. Services have slipped. However, it still holds true that no matter what CPG does they will never be able to keep up with the changing market prices so the best they can do is just keep plugging away. People need to realize that no matter what guide they use the values are only a snapshot in time so for whatever reason they are using A guide they have to understand that they are going to have to do at least some footwork to figure out the current estimate values of their books. Values are a moving mark and can even move depending on where you are located in the world.]]> Sun, 24 Sep 2017 13:37:26 GMT https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=11475 Message from rixmaxx bplashka wrote:

Now located in downtown Indianapolis, ComicsPriceGuide.com is comprised of a team of passionate comic book enthusiasts, who are just as passionate about technology. Started in 1995 as a tribute to the memory of Tim Beck, a close childhood friend of founder Bryan Neely, who unfortunately passed away from complications due to leukemia at the age of 25.
From the early days of their friendship, they were both focused on the world of comic reading and collecting. Their entire world revolved around this hobby. It didn't stop even while Bryan was going to college. At Ball State university, Bryan created the very first percursor of ComicsPriceGuide.com. Initially it was named MarvelWorld and featured only data and related information exclusively on Marvel Comics.
Fast-forward 18 years and ComicsPriceGuide.com has become the world's largest and most accurate online community for obtaining comic book value information. In addition to serving over 700,000 users value data, our message boards and blogs have become the go-to-source and authority for connecting comic book enthusiasts.
Our values remain simple, but our technology is not. Using a proprietary value algorithm, paired with dedicated comic enthusiasts, we are able to preserve real sales data to get up-to-the minute comic book value information.

Remember this is a guide and not a pricing bible. What is enter here are just snapshots in time and can never substitute your own research and awareness of realized prices.

All that being said the quality of operations for CPG have dropped over the years ... at least going by complaints here and observed history.]]> Fri, 22 Sep 2017 12:42:42 GMT https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=11475 Message from kds_comics tripr wrote:

Check out http://comicspriceguide.com/value-updates/

Stuff does get updated, sometimes the admins are a little slow (or cautious) to change prices.]]> Mon, 28 Aug 2017 11:05:48 GMT https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=11475 Message from tripr Sun, 27 Aug 2017 21:45:00 GMT https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=11475 Message from adammichael edited by adammichael on 8/10/2017]]> Thu, 10 Aug 2017 21:31:32 GMT https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=11475 Message from collectibleshop edited by collectibleshop on 8/9/2017]]> Wed, 09 Aug 2017 21:47:24 GMT https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=11475 Message from adammichael I am new to using the site and had a question about prices. When I search for an individual comic, such as Incredible Hulk #181 (year:1974), the page comes up with prices for the 3 different grades. For example the price under the 8.0 grade column shows as $630 and the 6.0 column has a price of $140. However, when I click on “view all grades” the raw value of a 8.0 comic is $1,750. Are the columns on the initial search page for 9.4, 8.0, and 6.0 not meant to match exactly with the prices below them?
That is, why is the price different for the same grade of the issue?
The page might be just pulling the wrong price, since I do see the 6.0 raw grade is listed at $630?
Thanks,
Adam]]> Wed, 09 Aug 2017 00:14:46 GMT
