6/3/2021 Topic: Search Collection by Value? Ronbatman Administrator	If you are a paid member you can sort by value. You would go to the collection page. https://comicspriceguide.com/collection/ Click on a publisher like DC https://comicspriceguide.com/collection/dc Then click on top information. That allows you to see the top 25 raw and top 25 graded issues for each publisher. You could change the dropdown to all publishers as well. Ron
6/3/2021 Topic: Search option Ronbatman Administrator	We do not have that feature yet. We've talked about adding a search by age since we are working on naming them. Ron

6/7/2021 Topic: multiple bids on the same book... Ronbatman Administrator	I think you are asking if one buyer has made two offers on two separate books. Then another buyer makes a higher offer on one of those issues, do you have to take the higher offer? So while it's a higher offer on one book, it would be better for you to ship both to a single location. As the seller, you can choose whichever offer you want. Sometimes sellers reject offers because the price of the book has gone up dramatically, or they had bad dealings with a certain buyer. It takes two to make a transaction, so if one party doesn't agree then it doesn't happen. Ron
6/7/2021 Topic: Suggesting a Value Change Ronbatman Administrator	If you are a paying member of the site you can suggest a value change for any of the 1.1 million books in the database. You can find the suggestion area by going to the specific issue and clicking on the values tab. There right below the next issue is the "Suggest value change" button. Please don't use other price guides because some estimate fair market value. We've seen some ridiculous estimates from them. (Actual sale $4000, FMV $10,000 this is a real example submitted to us) As you can imagine, in this crazy hot comic book market we receive tons of suggestions. If you submit multiple submissions for the same book, you are slowing down the process. A person has to go through and delete the duplicate submissions before we change a book. Someone recently submitted 20 times for the same book. We understand that you want it changed but that doesn't help, it hurts the process. With the number of paying members we have and the number of books they own, we will never be caught up. But as you can see from our recent value change page or your personalized value change page we are working hard on changes. Thanks, Ron
6/7/2021 Topic: Suggesting a Value Change Ronbatman Administrator	Thanks for the question. No, there isn't a way to track it from your side yet. It's a good idea but there are several things in the pipeline. Ron
6/9/2021 Topic: GIANT SIZE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN: KING'S RANSOM #1 Ronbatman Administrator	I agree that it should be moved under Amazing Spiderman vol. 6 since the story continues and the title fits into our structure for Giant-Size issues. It has been moved over and I added a search term, King's ransom, in case someone forgets. Ron
6/10/2021 Topic: Marvel's "Color Your Own" series Ronbatman Administrator	To be entered into the system its supposed to be at least 50% comic story. In the 1.1 million books there are exceptions because we use volunteers, some with tremendous knowledge and others with limited knowledge of our system. I would say no because it's a coloring book and not a story. Although now I do want to own a few of them. Ron
6/14/2021 Topic: Sanger Harris Spider-Man Incredible Hulk Giveaway Ronbatman Administrator	Can one of you with this book look at the indicia and let me know what it says? I'd like it to accurately reflect the title of the book. In the interim, I've added some search terms to that title to make it easier to find. Thanks, Ron edited by ronbatman on 6/14/2021

6/16/2021 Topic: Wonder Girl 2021 Ronbatman Administrator	As Pacino mentioned it should match the publisher if they are correct. For this title there was a mini-series and a one-shot, neither of which count as volumes in our system. So it should be volume 1 to match our normal way of counting volumes. R
6/18/2021 Topic: Gains & Drops Don't Add Up Ronbatman Administrator	If you are a paying member there are two places where you can see value changes. The recent value change page https://comicspriceguide.com/value-changes/ This page only shows the books that had a change in the raw 9.4 So yesterday we adjusted some lower grades up but kept the 9.4 at the same price. That change won't appear on the recent value change page. The second page that shows more specific information is the My gains and drops page https://comicspriceguide.com/gains-drops/ This page shows the gains and drops for your specific book in the grade you have cataloged. If you have a 5.0 that went up you can see it there. It's much more specific to your collection. I hope that helps, Ron

6/24/2021 Topic: Gains & Drops Don't Add Up Ronbatman Administrator	I think that I can give you a specific example to show how you might see an increase in overall value but a drop. We use different tools to help us speed up the process. One of them is an automated system that gives a set of %'s for each value based on decades of research. Those are just the starting point and then someone like me goes in and refines it for a specific book. For example you have an X-men that went up from 100 to 150, then in the refining process someone changed the value to 147. In that case your collection would have gone up +$47 but the book would have shown a loss of $3. The gains and losses track from the last change. So what you're seeing is someone specifically and carefully changing the specific grade of a book you own. This is actually a good thing. Ron
6/24/2021 Topic: So You Want to Sell Your Comics? Ronbatman Administrator	To sell on Comics Price Guide you do need to grade the books yourself. Here is a grading guide https://comicspriceguide.com/comic-book-grading We don't really offer a bulk option unless you count the classified ads. Ron
6/24/2021 Topic: Help needed choosing perfect issue for signing Ronbatman Administrator	"I would like to take my entire collection of comics down to Sarasota Florida to CGC to have help determining which ones are worth getting graded and im determining which ones would benefit from being pressed and/or restored before grading." That's not something they would do. Grading comics is a big business and they don't make time for things like this which would take a lot of time. When starting off, just pick a couple of books that you think are high grade or value. Send them off to get cleaned and pressed then to CGC. We can press and clean any book for $10 and in less than 2 weeks. Check CGC and you'll see that their lead time for pressing is months. https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/topic15739-comic-book-pressing-and-cleaning.aspx Ron
