Topic: WHAT NOT PRICING ON COMICS

 This doesn’t apply across the board but I feel like using whatnot sales in FMV would cause an artificial dip in most books.

When I buy, I know the average eBay sold prices on every book I’m considering. I generally won’t keep bidding once an item hits around 20% of eBay comps since that is usually the break even threshold after costs and fees. I might lower the threshold if it’s a book I plan to keep but I rarely pay at comps or over. Again not a blanket statement, but it seems I’m not alone in my buying strategy.

Yeah other platforms deviate lower than eBay, but it’s reasonable when their fees are 10% lower. Sellers can afford to sell under comps. Whatnot is 11% compared to eBay’s 13%.
