To mix forum threads and confuse everyone - this guy has a signed copy of Biff Thundersaur you have been looking for. Although I am still trying to figure out what's with this "Biff" name. Best laugh I had today.

We looked at one of our competitors yesterday who had a key silver age book at $72,000 raw. We have the book listed at $40,000 graded. That's a huge difference. Based on the market, they are taking some heavy drugs or inflating prices to attract dreamers. There is no external data to support that number.

Is there a formal process for flagging books we may think could do with a look? I actually have a number of variants in my collection think are priced too high haha]]> Mon, 06 Aug 2018 07:07:31 GMT https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=12463 Message from Jtolar Fri, 03 Aug 2018 21:05:42 GMT https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=12463 Message from expander
In other words, Can one look at all the info on a specific issue and see a historical value/ a current value and highest realized price for said issue all in one place/site /guide?

If I look at batman #655 on the guide $20 (9.4) ebay from $19.99 to $49.99+ just in completed listings and CBR $20.00 but Mycomicshop has it for $32.00 (8.0) so I'm sure there's some mark up there for the retail side but what would you say to some one one the street if they came up to you and asked how much is my batman #655 worth?

Ebay to me paints a very clear picture of what has been paid. No doubt there but how much of that is a speculative trend and how much is it just plain luck?

Agree you should check recent value changes periodlicly.

Also - (sorry CPG - don't look). ALWAYS check more than one guide / sales sites.
I like MyComicShop.com and Comic Book Realms. (guide)

As Ron noted - different sites use different data. My Comic Shop is retail sales "offer" not a guide, but prices can be significantly higher or lower due to consignments, etc.
Hey - on a $4 comic - $2 is statistically significant - regardless of condition.

I find CPG is VERY CONSERVATIVE. - my opinion is...that is a good thing - but it is possible you can ask more and get it.

Good luck -

When I say sales data I mean actual sold items not the average of what unsold items. I can flood the auction sites with an item with an inflated price, never sale any and then the value would be inflated because it is based on auction prices not actual sold items.]]> Mon, 30 Jul 2018 22:04:45 GMT https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=12463 Message from solarno Mon, 30 Jul 2018 21:41:52 GMT https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=12463 Message from tamsugayan Does anyone know what the hell is going on with pricing discrepancies? I have been a member since early 2000's and I have never had an issue with using this data base. But lately I have been going into data base to check prices and to input new books and the values are extremely off. example I have a book that is popping up in other data bases consistently @ $50.00 raw value yet here its only valued @$2.50. like wtf. Its been happening with a lot of books. I am sure this discrepancy is throwing off every ones total collection value as well.Please help talk me down from the ledge before I move to another Data base. Thanks]]> Mon, 30 Jul 2018 21:19:52 GMT
