    Dave, they could be drop shipping from you. Someone buys theirs for more and then they buy it from you for less and have you ship it to their buyer and they pocked the extra. As far as shipping is concerned be sure to take a look at pirate ship. I have actually seen it cheaper lately and that is crazy.

      Shipping to different address is a big no no especially for high value items resulting in no seller protection. Could be same process but they take delivery from Dave and then ship on. The shipping time if high would indicate this is what is going on where they have added Dave's shipping time to their standard time and therefore end up with extended shipping times

    I had some people do it to me and it bothered me at first, what I found out about my drop shipper was they shipped to other countries cheaper than eBay Global, personally for me they are filling a niche and helping us sell our items. These are the people who ask a ton of questions about how to pack their item because when they receive the order they just slap a label on top of your label and send it on its way to another country. It's just a reseller like us with a different method of sourcing. Plus they are driving up the cost of items and not lowering the cost.

    Sell the comics. You’re a seller not a speculator. Otherwise you’ll have fronted the $600 grading to wait 5 years to potentially see a bigger profit. You’ll probably have even more sales in general in the next 5 years instead of holding the comics for that time length.

    I bought a Jadens 4x6 desktop thermal printer. It's wired but that doesn't bother me, it's small and easily moves because the roll of labels is stored inside the printer. I think it was around $70 on Amazon. I did the package deal with a bunch of label rolls for around $125. Works great.

    Even as a comic collector and seller myself ... that 2020 time was just insane. Same as Pokemon and sports cards. So the market is down for now. Sure the values will go up over time ("when in doubt, zoom out") but I can't imagine it booming again like it did. You have plenty of profit in them so get that money.
    As for a printer, I have a Jadens thermal printer from Amazon that was maybe $70. It can either hold a roll in it, or has an opening in the back to take the straight feed like those fancy Rollos. I bought wired because I don't need wireless. It was super easy setup and I haven't had an issue since.

    They took the first comic listing down because you sold it. They are drop shipping off of you buying it cheaper and selling it higher. The reason that their picture is different now is because you emailed them and so they changed the picture.

    It sounds more like the opinion to hold the comics for 5 years is not as a ‘collector’ but as an investor. Your current business strategy is not set up as an investment business, you are a re-selling store. Moving inventory at a regular basis is what your model relies on to keep you profitable. You’d have to change direction, spending habits, and strategy to rely more on investments.
    The TL: DR I’d sell the comics. It’s what your business is supposed to do.

  • @ActingAFoolForYou
    @ActingAFoolForYou 11 місяців тому

    Dave I agree with most here it’s a drop shipper. I get a few a month but they are for much more mundane items. I don’t care as long as they pay. Comics are like the stock market. I collected for five or six years when I was a kid. I made a ledger eventually and once every few years I would buy a price guide and figure out by hand what it was worth. It was over 10k at one point. The last time I did it barely over 5k. If something gets popular again it would pop.When I had a one of my recent day jobs I would loose track because the bosses would contact me every day and yeah I put up with it for years but this year was enough

    100% Drop Shipper. What is most likely happening is he is advertising his listing outside of eBay on other websites and places with collectors. At $2000, he'd make a couple hundred dollars without having to have that comic book or ship it. At $2600, he will make $800 without ever having to actually own the comic.

  • @AardvarkTreasure
    @AardvarkTreasure 11 місяців тому +1

    I don't know about drop shipping because he or she would need to change the shipping address to you in order for you to ship to the new drop ship addresses. He most likely is, or possibly setting a more shipping time on his end to possibly purchase yours once, or if, his sells first. He then may wait to received the item from you, then he ships the item over night. I know that seems a bit far fetched, but is it? If he's making a few hundie, well? What is his feedback look like on his shipping? I would personally call eBay to see what they would say about it. Hopefully you would speak to someone who knows what they are talking about when it comes to issues like this. Have a groovy day Dave.

    If you hold the comics for 5 years you might make more (be sure to adjust selling price for inflation), however If you sell now you can roll the profits back into your business for the next 5 years and in the long run probably make more off the same initial investment. How many times in 5 years could you reinvest and reprofit in that time?

    You can drop ship someone else product but you are running risks to your store in the process.

    I feel like no UA-camr can have an opinion on ebay promotions. They don't know how tough it is without promoting. UA-camrs pay for their promotions too in the form of time making UA-cam videos.
