Wait, people that are selling comics are telling you that you should be buying comics. I am totally shocked. I never would have guessed lol
Dot
My first thought with only watching 10 seconds of the video is that anyone selling anything will tell you that NOW is the time to buy. Salesmanship 101.
I like Mighty's content. He tells you don't overpay for things, and don't go for ridiculous grades. He recommends buying raw quite often and to not lose it for a graded book that is way over priced.
They looks so upset because nobody was falling for them over price books and forgetting they have the signs that say were buying books but they don’t buy nothing and then they want to give you pennies, but they want to overcharge for their books. Yeah they could go.😂
You clearly weren’t at Brixco’s booth. Tons of golden age and silver age for under FMV
@@threesixtycomics the guys commenting weren’t at NYCC. This is comical at best. - 1 point sticky. Bad form.
I've been collecting for 40 years. I've always bought what I liked first, then knowing they COULD go up in value, took extremely good care of them, from choosing which copy to buy off the shelves to handling them when changing bags and boards through the years. I feel that all collectors did that in the eighties and early nineties. I don't remember buying multiple copies of a book; this came to me when I went back into the hobby in the mid 2010's. Now, I DO buy multiple copies, but only when I want a very good copy since most of moderns arrive damaged by default... Paper is so god damn cheap now.
Full disclosure: I’m friends with him and helped work his table last weekend at NYCC. That being said, the numbers don’t lie.
Paul (Brixco Comics/Red Hoodie) had legitimately the best prices I’ve ever seen at a big con. People were circling the room and then coming right back to the booth because they saw a lot of other higher prices around the room. Big keys and popular runs at or under FMV. He made a great impact for his first year at NYCC.
I wasn't there but have had plenty of interaction with him over the past few years . He is a great guy that is willing to work with you.
I got my xmen 94 upgrade at Brixco it was in fact good deals there. Will be a return customer next year.
Slabs are the biggest scam ever
What these guys are saying is mostly correct. The market has PROBABLY bottomed at this point, barring some catastrophic event in the external economy. How long will it take for prices to start going up again? That’s anyone’s guess….my bet is that things are going to stay sluggish for a while. But the point is that there are great deals to be had right now if you are willing to negotiate a bit.
We have a whole different Breed here in New York. You dont even see half of the Spindoctoring here in Mighty's video
Even golden age has really fluctuated. Some horror covers have taken a beating
Its always time to buy. Hey! What time is it ? I told you. Its time to buy.
UNLESS its a slab. If its a slab its time to open your eyes and remember why you started buying comic books in the first place. To read. Oh, and to piss people off. Excelsior!
Slabs are a rip off
Fifty-five years of collecting, will never buy a slab.
@mec1526 i cant trust slabs after all the drama that has happened with cgc.
I don't buy slabs at conventions, I go for artist/writer signatures, & to look for raw comics in the $1-$5 bins that I'm missing. Maybe free promo items and some photos, and some supplies that are on the "con sale". But recently I filled in all my needed comics, unless something I forgot about pops up, I'm done.
I’m driving I just have to put it out there. That was the worst con and they were not making any money. All they were doing was whining.
I have been talking with various ppl slabs vs Raws and it all over the place. I also been trying to get my PC clean and pressed and it is very hard to find ppl or find ppl who will take months to do it.... then getting slabbed is another 2-3 months ugh. I was at the con and noticed a lot of ppl spending money which is good, lots of Manga, anime as well. and when i try to sell books i get low balled on price, jeez. thx for this video!
The fact is that demand has gone down over the past few years which leads to prices going down. Have we hit the bottom? Nobody knows. Maybe prices will be lower a few years from now. Maybe in 10 years prices will be at 10% of where they are today. But maybe prices will start going back up tomorrow.
So, is now the right time to buy? Is it going to be cheaper to buy books in a couple years - maybe 10 years? This is what is called the free market. We don’t know the answers. But we do know that it is better to be buying now than it was two or three years ago.
Anything that not happening right now, or has not already happened, are just people’s feelings and opinions on stuff. With that being said, we can’t discount someone’s own personal opinions about something that has yet to maybe happen. Also, we can not discount their professional opinions… as long as they’re done in good faith - which is up for us to personally decide, individually.
not when their "Opinion" is rhetoric to drum up business. LOL! c'mon
@@doughargis9626 I agree. That’s why I said about professional opinions, “…as long as they’re done in good faith.”
He did really well at NYCC. I guess they bought his comics.
Gotta know what you are doing then buying is fine. Some dealers tried to take advantage but I knew to make them flip through raws. Both were missing pieces or pages but priced as if they weren't. As far as slabs, I just made offers at or below gpa and saved vs buying off ebay because no taxes or shipping. Very few dealers had good deals on slabs up front but a few did. Market may in fact go back up soon you never know for sure. And the guy that only deals in slabs is dan gallo has one of the best collections I've ever seen and is always selling huge keys. He knows what he's doing trust me.
Awesome video by the way!!! LFG Sticky!!
Thumbs up; I enjoyed the vid! I agree, I would never buy a slab at a con. It's not like I haven't tried, it's just that the prices of slabs at cons are usually outrageously overinflated.
When supposed experts that are also having a store selling comic books tell you that "you should buy comicbooks like now prferably from my store" you should start SELLING your comic books. Same with the talking heads on tv telling you to buy or sell this stock or the other, its actually reversed. Where they say buy, it means sell, and where they say sell it means buy.
I am definitely holding back buying comics that I feel are inflated in value and waiting until those books come down in value. Also as I said before, I am not buying slabbed comics. It makes no sense to me to pay quadruple the price for the same book that is raw. I feel reasonably confident I can determine the grade of a comic just by looking at it.
Decades ago I bought a movie soundtrack record album. Some years later (1973), I read it was selling for $200 (in 1973 dollars) on the collector's market. Not long ago I checked the current value: $40. Timing is everything.
I find you spot on.
🤣😂🤣absolutely buy now it is the time to buy right here right now says the plug lol great video
Their overheads for the stall at such an event must be crippling.
Isn’t the sort of video you were doing before? Thought you wanted to break out of that?
Don’t watch it, super easy boss
@@Stickygoose true but I enjoy your point of view when you’re NOT doing this type of video, which you admitted yourself hasn’t been helpful to you. Why not review some new comics and show a different side to what you can do?
Keeping the con in comic con
How much does one of those booths run?
Serious question for you. Maybe a good video for you. What book or books would you say you bought at their peak that took the biggest drops?
Your dad should've told you about the boom of 1990 and by 1995 the industry was in rough shape, Marvel went bankrupt. Had you been given that message you wouldn't of bought the keys during the pandemy boom. If at any point in time you like this comment give it a thumbs up!
Not saying now is the time to buy, but a bad seller market is a good buyer market definitionally.
You didn’t even show the best part of his video, which is Donna, one of the hardest working women in the media.
Man, every comic con I go to the books are unreasonably high, some prices it's laughable. I mean I get it... they have to truck the stuff around, pay for the space, rooms, food.... dealing with the public all day.. ...But still my god. I have just resorted to looking thru the cheap boxes. Some of the prices for booths, ridiculous...and the fact that artist, dealer crafter booth are all different prices. All of it just seems like a scam. Imagine if someone got a booth and sold all the comics at their booth for what the comics were actually worth... they would clean up and sell out the first day BAHAHAH
It's all about the WhatNot packs these days, Sticky.
And Sticky… CGC line was damn near non existent compared to 2021 & 2022 NYCC events.. nobody seemed to necessarily care about getting sigs witnessed/slabbed.. first few guys, myself included on Claremont’s line didn’t get our signed and remarqued books slabbed.
Fmv is decreasing on books. Waiting has some potential benefit.
Loved the video and much of what was said here. But on that note what we REALLY need ARE the buyers who buy the "filler" books. REAL collectors and fans instead of this current culture of "books as stocks". Don't get me wrong - valuable comics are great on so many levels, but the books BECOME valuable explicitly because fans pursue them out passion and rather than out of some strange sense of market-participation born of some low-level-logic involving a character appearing on T.V. or something like that. If the core reason to accumulate comics is dead, then comics are dead.
This guy in the red knows what's popping 4 sure!!!!! LOL
I like raw mostly. If a good price for a slab then I'll buy.
YESSSS MORE DRAMMMA
Your content is so damn negative in every video. You speak well & produce well, but you've made clear all you want to do is negative content. Stop worrying so much about clicks, and please try to add more positive content to the community.
Give me an example
@@Stickygoose An example? This video. Actual dealers are asked about the state of the market and you're snickering at their responses. I get that you are not a dealer and just a content creator but most of these guys have been buying and selling comics for decades. Majority of them are good hard working people just trying to make ends meat. You want them to say "don't buy comics, they will only go down?" Brixco is a good dude. I bought from him at the show and had an extremely positive interaction. You spoke about it yourself in Toms video about how negative content gets more clicks. Obviously do what you're good at and if you feel like your videos are adding positivity to the comic community, then keep doing it.
Make ends “meat”? Now i understand your feelings got hurt because you overpaid at a comic con. Happens to everyone mostly me
@@Stickygoose HA. You're hilarious. Actually he gave me a great deal. $50 for a $150 book. You have this impression that anyone selling comics is just ripping people off left and right. You've left out the hustle & hard work that goes into it just like any other job. I buy and sell collectibles full time. I have no problem giving out good deals as long as everyone is happy.
Buy my collection give me a great deal
CLOWN SHOW+CLOWN GRADERS GREAT VID
I remember watching Swagglehaus video when he did this, and the dealers just echoed the same thing, then ptices went down even more, lol. Of course its always a good time to buy, they are making a living, lol, can't blame them, i would say the same thing, lol
No slabs.
"Prices all going back up in a few months" ha ha ha ha ha more like 5 years at least. Prices are still falling on most books, wake up
Would you make a wager on your prediction?
Poor audio quality on this vid.
Appreciate that!
@@StickygooseNP, usually your vids are fairly clear of grainy noise or popping.
And lets all keep it in mind, when you buy cgc graded books you are funding Jayz and his diddy parties. Crack your slabs and stick your middle finger up at Cgc
Sticky Goose continues to expose these dealers. 👍
That guy in the red had tiny, tiny hands 😂
But a very big heart ❤
@@threesixtycomics it was probably the gloves, and he is a big guy.
