3/15/2018 Topic: Types of Comic Book Collectors Ronbatman Administrator	JokerB, I agree. If you're going to spend some coin on a nice comic, someday you'd like to turn that back into cash. That's smart.
3/17/2018 Topic: Types of Comic Book Collectors Ronbatman Administrator	Solarno, I know this is off topic (the squirrel in me coming out) but what's your oldest bike? Do you have any cool 70's or older bicycles? I enjoy watching American Pickers especially when they find old bikes or motorcycles in barns. Maybe it's because they get so excited about it.
3/17/2018 Topic: New Look to Sales Page Ronbatman Administrator	When you click into an individual book there are four tabs at the top Details, Values, Variants and My Collection. If you click on Values you will see raw and graded books. Let me know if you have questions, Ron
3/19/2018 Topic: Values Ronbatman Administrator	Hey David, There are a few things that might help. If you notice a price that you think is wrong or off (high or low) please tell me. We will research it and make changes if necessary. Here is the thread on the forum. https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/topic12031-price-changes-that-you-think-need-to-be-made.aspx That speaks to our site in general, we are community driven. Members submit information like scans, artists, writers and others verify it. The site grows and gets better with each submission. That's how we have over 1,000,000 comics in our database. I'll research Adventure Comics 283 and get back to you. You can see recent price changes here. https://comicspriceguide.com/value-changes Thanks for being here, Ron
3/19/2018 Topic: Values Ronbatman Administrator	When I checked it the raw values were correct but the graded issues needed some work. I increased the mid grades in value to reflect the market. Thanks Ron
3/19/2018 Topic: Values Ronbatman Administrator	Look at the 7.0 graded it is higher than 288 now.
3/19/2018 Topic: Comic Price Guide as "Go To" for Comic Sales Ronbatman Administrator	From our perspective, we have a full list of things that we want to do this year. We want to change more prices, complete the app, develop our blog further, get the forum more active with positive comments, answer customer concerns, write more original content for CPG, finish the feedback system, improve the sales process and a few things that I cannot disclose right now. We are busy. But I also think we've made amazing progress on our attentiveness. Everyone who has emailed, called or messaged us, knows that we answer and try to help. Oxbladder has a valid point about focusing on the core business and we've done that recently. On the other side of things, we need to keep dreaming and imagining what CPG could be. Maybe the auction isn't something we tackle in the next 6 months but after that, who knows?
3/19/2018 Topic: Star Wars Mavel #44 Ronbatman Administrator	fixed
3/20/2018 Topic: What conventions are you going to this year? Ronbatman Administrator	If some of us are going to be at the same conventions this year we should get together, have lunch or coffee. If you are going to Indiana Comic Con please let me know. I know Indy very well and the CPG office is about 1 mile from the convention center. If you visit our offices we will give you free comics, its kind of our thing. I'm also thinking about going to Nashville Heroes and Villains Fan Fest on May 12th and 13th. We haven't really planned anything beyond that.
3/20/2018 Topic: Aquaman (1994) #3 Wrong cover artist Ronbatman Administrator	I've fixed all of those issues. Thanks! The cover says "Brad Vancata" in the place that should be for the inker. Are you sure that he doesn't have some inking duties on this one? edited by ronbatman on 3/20/2018 edited by ronbatman on 3/20/2018
3/20/2018 Topic: Archie's TV Laugh Out (1969) Wrong cover prices Ronbatman Administrator	fixed
3/21/2018 Topic: Help I've been downgraded! Ronbatman Administrator	ha, ha, ha. In the system there are a certain set number of 9's, 8's and so on. If you haven't had something approved in a while and someone else has this tragic and horrible event can happen.
3/21/2018 Topic: Aquaman (1994) #3 Wrong cover artist Ronbatman Administrator	Weird. This is obviously a cover mistake by DC. Nice work!
3/22/2018 Topic: Price changes that you think need to be made Ronbatman Administrator	1st Shiva and Muhammad vs Superman have been changed to reflect the market. Shockingly, I cannot pin a post to the top of the page. Pretty much everything else on the site except that. Ron
3/22/2018 Topic: Help I've been downgraded! Ronbatman Administrator	The point is to make sure that active members of the site can move up. If someone is a 4 and hasn't done anything for months, they might drop to a 3 so that someone else can take their place. I didn't have any involvement in setting this up but that's what I've been told. R
3/22/2018 Topic: Price changes that you think need to be made Ronbatman Administrator	KDS, We got prices right! YES! You did some nice research. Your numbers and CPG's new numbers are very close. The graded 9.8's of Spider Girl were $60 for 0 and above that for number 1. All 3 issues have been changed. Ron
3/23/2018 Topic: Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur # 28 Ronbatman Administrator	That was a little surprising but if you look now you'll see it's a first appearance and extremely low production. We just report the market not control it. (with all its craziness)
3/25/2018 Topic: "Published" date for new comics Ronbatman Administrator	It's Published date from the indicia of the comic book.
3/25/2018 Topic: THANOS #13D Ronbatman Administrator	MarkF, We have a thread on the forum where people can report prices that are off in some way. https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/topic12031-price-changes-that-you-think-need-to-be-made.aspx When I see something in there I change it to reflect the market. Obviously, this isn't the only way we change prices but it helps us if there are more people watching the changing prices. By the way, I changed the price of Thanos 13 D. Thanks, Ron
3/26/2018 Topic: Quantity of issues collected in all of CPG? Ronbatman Administrator	hmmm. I don't think that would be a difficult addition to make. As you said, it shows that number on the front page so adding it to members pages wouldn't be too difficult. Let me check on that. R
