Snipe tool for ebay

Set 0ne — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 05:51:49 GMT

I'm looking for a reliable sniper tool...I'd prefer it to be free as I don't plan to use the program that often.

I've been doing some research of my own before asking here...People seem pretty happy with Gixen.com so has anyone else used them here? I see someone was trying to badmouth them but everyone got behind the service and said it was great. Seems the person was unhappy with something.

Any other suggestions is always great :D

Warlord #22 Whitman Variant

XS22L9R — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 21:15:39 GMT

I'm a collector of The Warlord/Mike Grell Comics. I found this auction of a comic I had never seen before (Warlord Whitman Edition). I bid on it and won it for $36.00. Does any body know if I paid more than it's worth, Or did I get a good deal?

Thanks for your help!

P.S. I collect two of everything so now I need one more of this Variant.

How much has the recession effected the ability to sell comics on ebay for guide?

generalgrog — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 11:13:06 GMT

Heya,

I haven't posted in while and did search but didn't find this question anywhere.

Anyway, I have been monitoring ebay off and on for the last year or so trying to get a feel for how comics are selling on ebay. It seemed like 3 or 4 years ago comics were selling like hotcakes on ebay. Now I see stuff just sit there forever, and also I don't see comics going for anywhere near what they were.

I was wanting to unload some of my collection just to thin it out some. (I'm tired of holding onto so much stuff) But I'm afraid if I try to sell right now I won't get what I want for them.

Also, I'm mot really talking about golden age or silver age stuff. I'm talking bronze/copper and modern.

Has anyone used this new selling site????

Imatrukker2 — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 20:46:08 GMT

WWW.UPILLAR.COM

Cool site, though comic prices seem to be elevated somewhat....Might be a way to go for someone just trying their legs....No cost for Classified Ads and ONLY $10.00 a month for a store with unlimited listings....I'm interested in knowing what you guys think...? I think it may be one answer to Ebay's never ending price increases...

To end on what days?

Set 0ne — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 05:05:53 GMT

I'm always wondering...When your selling on ebay it's best to end your auctions on Friday/Sat/Sunday? And then to end the auctions in the earlyish evening time (5pm to say 8pm)?

I'm just trying to get back into the groove of selling on eBay since I haven't really been there in a huge way for a year or two...So any advice is much apperciated ^_^

best place to sell valuable comics

darklocke — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 20:59:34 GMT

So I'm wondering the best method to get the most for some of my comics. Eventually my wife and I will have enough money to open up our own store, and will use a lot of what we have in the store, but we have some worth a LOT of money according to our price guides. I want to send some of them to CGC to get graded, but I just want to know whats the best way to get money for these? I noticed on Ebay most sellers aren't getting even 1/2 of what they pricing guides say they are worth...

for instance I have 1 copy of Haunt of Fear #15 (1) worth anything from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. I'd consider it a 7.5 on the cgc scale. I'm going to be sending it to CGC to get graded, but will I be sitting on this FOREVER or is there somewhere other than ebay where I can get to get the most for it? Even when my wife does open up the comic book store of her dreams, I don't want a potentially $2500 comic sitting on a shelf... you know what i mean.

i got a pretty good deal on ebay..!

tkmarvel80 — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 03:08:29 GMT

i picked up a small lot of comics
hulk 330 331 340 VF-NM
spectacular spider-man 1 1976 VF-NM

for $16.00

Is this a good value??

Inherited Comic Collection-Help Please!

Tstyxx — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 10:49:22 GMT

I recently "inherited" a collection of comics. I have been trying my best to educate myself on the whole comics collecting, investing, selling, ect. I've spent hours, days, and months researching it all. And now that I think I have a good idea on the value of all these books, what is the best advice on selling the collection and not getting ripped off by book stores cause they know that I haven't got a clue. :dontknow:

Could I get an opinion on some comics?

tokenwhiteguy — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 02:11:42 GMT

I have just received a significant sum of comics and I don't know anything about comics except that none of the ones I received are any I have ever heard of. So I assume they aren't too valuable, but I was wondering if I could post what I have and have someone give me an estimate on what it is worth. Sorry if this isn't an appropriate use of the forums, but I just need a little help.

ebay scam?????????

anstettoman — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 19:51:41 GMT

parusing ebay and came across this one......ck out the pics

http://cgi.ebay.com/Enitre-Comic-Shop-Inventory-For-Sale_W0QQitemZ140351274254QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item20ad967d0e

the asm #1 by itself would make this "deal" worthwhile so I as inquired as to a serial # for all the cgc books and have not received a response..(go figure)....if anyone lives close to this seller maybe a in person view would be a good idea.....I don't like taking chances for 5K

Sellers who can't grade...get the money? Beware of eBay seller - "seantheseller83"

Magic Dan — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 17:52:16 GMT

http://cgi.ebay.com/Captain-America-100-in-Near-Mint-price-lowered_W0QQitemZ220494776427QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item335683486b

Okay. This is an auction for a Captain America #100 (1968) that I wouldn't expect anyone at this forum to bid on. (I'd better not!)

The seller advertises the book in "Near Mint" condition and apparently the bidders are happy to take his word; half an hour left on it and the bids are upto $179.00! He even posted a picture of the CPG websites pricing page to illustrate his comic prowess, wow. Just with the front cover, I'd estimate this book at VG+.

*sigh* With 4 negs out of 6 total feedbacks, the blame for such a selling farce shouldn't fall soley on this seller. So frustrating to see a train wreck before it's crashed.

Just had to share,

Dan

Iron Fist #14 CGC 9.4 on eBay...Miserable FAIL!

Magic Dan — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 16:42:13 GMT

Check out this ended listing: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170394726396&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT

$6100.00...maybe some fanboys went on a drinking binge pulled up eBay and tried to find the auction's ceiling price. Who knows? I feel sorry for the seller. Looks like a case of new eBay bidders with total disregard for the system

Legit bidding seems to have stopped between $600.00 - $741.00, 4 hours prior to the auction's end. I was watching this to keep track of the FMV...Bad bidding hurts. :angry:

Ultimate Spider-Man #5 CGC 9.8

TonyStark1975 — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 22:25:43 GMT

Hi,recently I purchased this book from a seller on ebay called "showcasenewengland".
I been wondering about it alot lately.Did I get scammed or did I just get a good deal?

The auction was a "Buy it now" type w/free shipping. All together I paid $39.99 for the
book.It just seems to good to be true.

Any thoughts on this??:hmmmm:

I am tired

marmat — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 15:36:18 GMT

It's an old topic, but now I am tired. Again, a seller charged me $6 extra on shipping cost claming it's for handling fees, but I received my comics without bag and boards shipped in a box with some paper to fill it. The comics arrived in VF condition but announced as NM

Should I give negative feedback? I never did it, but now it's enough.

What would you do?

eBAY horror!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

spruce213 — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 19:39:50 GMT

What is up with these sellers these days? Within a week I've had sooooo many bad experiences. Before I'd buy books posted as VF and was never really satisfied so I started buying books only posted as NM.

I bought from one guy, 5 x-men books all listed as NM and NONE of them were. They were ALL in poor condition. Complained to eBay. They offer a refund of the money I paid for the books, not for the shipping I paid PLUS I still have to pay for shipping to ship the books back. After everything is taken into consideration, I only get $1.50 of the money I spent. NOT WORTH THE CLAIM!!!!

Then another guy lists all kinds of Uncanny X-Men books as NM. I bid on them. Won them all for an average of around $1. When they arrive, I get books that are not NM but instead a low VF (7.5). I know grading is in the eye of the grader, but how can someone not tell the difference between NM and a very low VF? I have a feeling he wasn't happy they sold so low so he didn't send the NM copies.

I want to file a CLAIM, but again, i'll end up losing money.

Have you guys ever dealt with this? And this is just the two i'm telling you guys about. There's three more ---- all within a wek of each other.

I'm Going After Cat Man... Maybe

Silver Age Surfer — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 12:43:01 GMT

Everyone has their own "Holy Grails" in the world of comics.

Mine are Cat Man issues.

[img]http://home.comcast.net/~josfriend/comics/catman/catman14.jpg[/img]

But $1,000 + for #14 in G/VG condition when OS lists it at $575 in 9.7 condition?!?! I guess when you're the only guy on eBay selling them, the sky's the limit in terms of what you can charge.

I've contacted him about bringing the prices down on a bulk purchase.

Ebay Find: Maximum Carnage Box Set

Blackrosedragon — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 11:10:56 GMT

Hey guys, I found this and I am quite pissed off at myself for not having the money for it.

I found it when I was looking in the other post, I was hoping to add another to my collection, because I am greedy like that and want a sega one to go with my SNES version. Then... I saw that i have no money, and I am pissed because it is just there!

I know I am knew, so please don't think this is mine. I wouldn't sell my copy for anything, carnage is still my favorite!

Maximum Carnage HC Auction

VenomZeus — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 19:02:10 GMT

I was looking to see what this HC was worth in the price guide but I couldn't find it, then searched for it on ebay and there is only 1 seller who has it right now.

http://cgi.ebay.com/Rare-Spider-Man-Maximum-Carnage-Limited-Hardcover-HC_W0QQitemZ270389893746QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item3ef47e5a72&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

What a ridiculous price, and his box is damaged.

Does anyone have any idea what the real value of this thing is? I have one myself, and I don't see how it could be worth more than $30 or so...

Oh, and I just looked at his previous auctions and "Amazing Spider-Man New Ways to Die NYCC VARIANT HC Mint" sold for $300... ???

WHere have all the comics gone?

toz1960 — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 19:43:02 GMT

Looking in the ebay comics category there are about 130,000 items of which appx.70,000 are auctions.It seems like not too long ago the number was much higher,at least double.There are less than 10 featured listings and I have seen the time when the first 7 pages were all featured listings of keys,high grades & slabbed books.

So what's happened? Have they all been moved to stores? The number of store listings is around 1.6 million.

Sorry,if that's where they have gone I guess that leaves me out.I liked scanning the auctions and getting the sweet deals that other people missed.I don't look for a specific book very often and if I do I usually will just visit lonestar.

Man,ebay really sucks these days.

By the way,I have an ebid account but haven't actually listed any comics there and the other stuff I listed there just kinda sat with very few looks.Has anyone had any experience on ebid? Care to share them if you have?

What's With Ultra-High Buy It Now Prices on CGC Comics?

tegrady — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 11:05:24 GMT

Hi. I mostly buy CGC graded comics off of Ebay and have noticed some sellers consistently listing their comics with crazy, ultra-high "Buy It Now" prices. I know some people say that CGC graded comics are too expensive, period, but these are just ridiculous. What is the explanation for this? Can anyone possibly be buying these comics?

Here are a few examples from current auctions:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Amazing-Spider-Man-1963-1998-1st-Series-252-CGC-9-6_W0QQitemZ130325527708QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item1e5801bc9c&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

- ASM 252 in CGC 9.6 condition is roughly worth about $70.

http://cgi.ebay.com/Amazing-Spider-Man-300-Venom-Comic-CGC-9-6-White-Pages_W0QQitemZ370025504528QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item56273d1f10&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

- ASM 300 in CGC 9.6 condition seems to be selling regulary for about $200.

Thanks!

Change in postal policy concerning Ebay issued labels...

Shadow — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 22:02:50 GMT

So here's an interesting situation...:hmmmm:

As it happens I sold my CGC graded X-men #1 and Avengers #1 over the weekend...NOTE: the market is down on lower grade items...after almost a week and 50+ watchers and half a dozen bidders...even CGC'd the books only pulled in 3/4 of guide...

Anyhow...it used to be that you could ship your merch through Paypal and print a shipping label that included a free "delivery confirmation"...you hand it to your local carrier or hoof it down to the local PO and they'd scan it into the system so your buyer had a confirmed shipping date...

Now, because so many people were shipping multiple packages that way and were holding up local paying customers (and getting a discounted service through Paypal) the clerks will no longer scan the packages. the only system record you will have is when the box arrives at it's destination and is scanned for delivery (doesn't always happen)...so the buyer will never know when it was actually shipped...nor will you have any idea of it's whereabouts along the way unless someone takes the effort to scan it...which I can tell you from experience is unlikely...

The breakdown here is the fact that unlike the UPS...the post office does not automatically scan packages on their way out...unless they've sold you the service themselves and then it's part of the process...

I doubt Paypal will do anything about the glitch, because they can't automatically enter it into the system when you buy the label, because they have no way of confirming that you actually shipped it...

So in a nutshell, it amounts to getting a useless delivery confirmation for free...:crazy:

And the post office wonders why they loose business...:D

What does a comic have to be worth to you, to sell on Ebay?

owls head — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 21:16:20 GMT

What I mean: At what value is it worth it to you (very subjective) to go to the effort to set up an auction? Scanning, writing the text/information. Cost of doing business on Ebay. Shipping cost etc.
Of course fair and reasonable shipping cost is a plus for me.

All factored in, do you want a (single book for example, but could be a lot) to make at least $10.00 for example? More? Less?

Just wondering folks thoughts.... I have a number of books (been collecting on/off) for almost 40 years... Will be 47 soon... and at some point have to start thinking about getting rid of some... They are really only my treasures (not my wife's or sons).

Anyway, what do you like to get in return to make it worth your while...

thanks for thoughts -

Missing covers-are they worth anything??

fromme — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 21:47:53 GMT

Hello

I am going through some old boxes from when we were kids, and I have some comics that are missing covers?? All of the pages are there. Did they remove them like they do with books when they don't sell and are returned to the publishers-maybe we just took off some of the covers, or they fell off??

Anyway, I have one I looked up- Our Army at War ;The Rock of Easy Co # 81 which is listed as being worth a lot of money for a mint edition- Is there any value to what I have, or should I just kick myself (again and again) that it doesn't have a cover and move on?

Thanks for the input!

From ME

Your best eBay purchase!

spruce213 — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 22:31:08 GMT

What is the best eBay purchase you have made?

When looking back through my purchases, and i've only been collecting again since the end of May I have seen that i've made quite a few good deals.

Anyone have any good deals they'd like to talk about from their years of collecting?

Any idea what this is worth?

LyssVicious — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 17:42:35 GMT

I've searched on the internet, and I can't find anything about this. I have a couple copies of complete Spirit comics circa 1972 and am planning on selling them, but have no idea what a fair price is. They are inside 2 sealed bags, and while the outside bag is dingy, I'm pretty sure they're in fairly, if not very good condition themselves. (pictures below.) There are 3 separate bagged sets inside the main bag, and I have NO idea what the covers of the other two look like. Or the backs of them because there is notes about each story from Will Eisner on the back. Apologies for the less than stellar pictures, but I do not have a scanner and without removing them from the bags, I can't do any better.

I also have this which I believe is just excerpts from various Spirit stories, and again, there is a letter from Will Eisner covering the back.

If anyone knows their worth, or what to call them when trying to find them on google, I would really appreciate it. I'm not looking for them to be graded, just a ballpark for a fairly good or very good condition set like this.

EDIT: I just found it on Will Eisner's site. He lists it as "The Spirit Bag #1-4". That is the ONLY mention of it on the internet according to google. =/

Selling comics

Forgive me if this has been covered before, I'm new. What is the best way to sell your comics collection. My collection is not that big, a little over 1200 issues, but I would like to sell some of my titles. I did try ebay, but aside from the final issue of GI JOE, I haven't had much luck. Thank you.

Inherited 100+ Creepy and Eerie books...

Eleven years ago my Dad died unexpectedly...what did I look for first? The boxes of Eerie and Creepy and assorted other horror books. I put them in bags and boards right away. Most appear never to have been opened. I would gladly sell individually or en masse to someone who might *really* love them like I did when I was eight and would sneak down to the basement to admire the covers. Just don't know where to start. Thanks in advance for any input.

I own the 4 set series of "Pokemon The First Movie Mewtwo strikes back" All sealed and the first of the set is sealed with signatures from the voice actors of ash brock and misty on the cover with a certificate of authenticity showing it is of a limited series.
Been unable to find any info on the internet to give me an idea of the price. Does this comic have a value or not worth selling? Can provide pictures if needed

questions about ebay...

My boss at work is HUGE into vintage G.I.Joe's and has a side business devoted to them. He recently warned me to STAY away from selling my comics on Ebay. I'm wondering if this scenario has happened to more than a few people.

Basically a Person sells an Item on EBAY to a Customer. The customer pays the seller the money, but when he gets the said item, he complains to the seller saying it's in terrible condition and wants his money back for the original item. You do your best to resolve the issue but end up giving the customer his money back and you get back your item. BUT the item he sends back WASN'T the item you sold him. It's the Same thing, but a completely destroyed/terrible condition item. You cannot get ebays help and you cannot get the buyer to admit to anything.

Basically my boss warned me about scams going on a LOT dealing in collectables of people who already own an item, buying one in better shape on ebay and then sending you their "Shitty" item saying to ebay that you sold them something falsely advertised.

Michael Jackson's Moonwalker 3D CGC 9.6 sells for $735.37

The hype off of Jackson's passing definitely makes this the best time to unload this book...but jeez!!!

Is there a census of issues of this book owned by CPG members? According to what I've found CapitalCity circulated only 1875 issues in 1989. I guess I'll be digging mine out...untouched since '89 when I bought it. Not sure what shape it's in but if it teeters the 9.6 range I'll be sending it off to CGC. ;)
