[Jack]

my freaking comic books are yielding better % than everything you've been mentioning

 

[Joe]

Not sure about comic books @Jack. I own a few and some vintage magazines but wonder of the values will hold up.

 

[Joe]

I just collect for pleasure not for profit so in the event the values go south, no fucks given.

 

[Jack]

lol for keys in decent condition the ROI is huge

 

[Jack]

its rare for a key to devalue unless the gog chews it

I've ruined a lot of old comics so if they're in a plastic case all the better so I don't destroy them.

I had a comic store during the speculator phase (1995-2004) so been there done that. Store often made good $$ just ordering extra copies of things we thought would take off. When we were right it was awesome $$$

 

[Jack]

like when spawn #1 first came out. we ordered 1000 copies. averaged 20$ back per copy overall

[Joe]

So you own or run a comics & collectibles store?

 

[Jack]

not now. I sold the store in 2004 back to my partner

 

[Jack]

but when I played that market I did well.

 

[Jack]

I'm also about to get out of retail for good. what a racket that is

 

[Joe]

I think theres a big comic seller/website out of New Hampshire. comiclink?

 

[Joe]

I bought from them before. Or is it it comic connect?

 

[Jack]

probably. I have a good friend in NJ that runs one of the bigger national chains

 

[Joe]

One of them is from NH the other from New York

I just buy from Canadian sellers now because it's cheaper & the dollar us worth 35% less. Yet they sell for the same dollar up here for many of the same items.

 

[Joe]

Often no taxes too

I just buy from Canadian sellers now because it's cheaper & the Canadian dollar is worth 35% less. Yet they sell many of the same items for a lower price after conversion is factored in

[Jack]

canadian money is essentially worthless. When canadians come to my store they pay in us dollars. No par

 

[Joe]

That's why it pays to buy in Canadian dollars because it's like a 35% discount.

 

[Jack]

thats really dumb joe
