    I have kept back watching this video until Friday evening and have loved every issue. There have been more OHHHS and AHHHS from me than the greatest firework display. I enjoyed the background comic talk and hearing all of your views and memories on the different issues and characters. Cheers fellas 😀.

That being said I know if someone walks in and wants a few books they will negotiate on the prices.

    Great collection! I was a little concerned with their desire to not "invest" in bagging and boarding these. I wonder if it was due to the perceived cost associated with that, or what? Thanks for sharing!

    • @pop-comics
      @pop-comics  Місяць тому +1

      So the book store is a charity shop that gets donations and all the proceeds go to help programs at the library. It has a great volunteer staff that keeps the place open. Comics they normally put out for $1 so a collection like this was not something they normally deal in or were prepared to bag and board etc. So because of that my friend Spencer introduced me to Don who processes the donations and I volunteered to go and price out the collection and help them figure out what to do with them all etc. I was not expecting to buy anything, I just wanted to make a video to promote the collection and help them price it all out but they did let me buy the ones I needed for my PC for a fair price so I was really happy with that. I brought 100 bags and boards with me and traded for 2 $5 books to give to my friend Spencer, so basically a donation to the shop and a gift to Spencer for helping out. Not only did he introduce me to the shop but he too spent the full day 10am-4PM sorting and pricing with me. He appreciates the store and loves book stores in general so he wanted to see them be helped out as well. As for the remaining books, we stood them up in the box with a divider in the middle so they don't get too rummaged through as people look to buy from them. I am hoping most get into collectors hands this week so they don't get too damaged.

    Nice collection! I feel its best to price less than FMV due to the low grade conditions of these comics. I would imagine they would want to sell off the collection as quickly as possible. The longer the comics sit around you run the risk of more damage to them especially when people go through the boxes.

    • @pop-comics

These books were at a charity book shop and not a comic shop so we priced the keys at 80-90% of market price and everything else about 50% of market price so it would sell pretty quickly at a fair price for everyone without having to do the work of listing on ebay etc.

I only had 100 bags and boards though, so I had to decided the 100 I wanted to get protected. Everything else I sorted into a $10 box and a $5 box. The larger size books of value I cut a paper strip and wrote the price on the end of the strip and stuck it in the middle of the book with the price popping out. I also always assume people let me know what I missed in the video so I can let them know after the fact which I did with one book.
