Comic Book Listing News:
Vintage Comic Books For Sale?
...Maybe?
I found this listing on craigslist. Seller states that he/she has 78 Vintage comic books for sale, and that he will sell them ALL, for only $750.
Now, the first thing I should point out here, is that the seller uses the term, "Vintage". Which, to me. Indicates that the seller doesn't know a thing about comic books. Or at least, not anything about the Age Classification of comics (Gold, Silver, Bronze...). Which, would also indicate to me. That the seller is just that. A seller! And not a collector. Meaning, someone who can be bargained with.
However, the seller does mention that these 78 "Vintage" comic books, have been graded and "Certified" by, comicpriceguide.com. Which kinda bothers me, as comicpriceguide refers sellers/collectors to CGC, to have their comic books graded and certified. Comicpriceguide does have a grading "Guide". But that is Far from any kind of an actual, "certification".
Another thing that bothers me, is that ALL of the 78 "Vintage" comic books that the seller is offering for sale, have a "9.4 Near Mint" condition grade. ...Hmmm? Really?
And even the structure of the seller's craigslist Ad, bothers me. As it appears as though, the list the he provides, has been Copied and Pasted from somewhere.
And to top it off, the seller uses ALL CAPS in his AD, and doesn't even post any pictures!
So, you know.
I don't know but that this whole thing, "Bothers Me". And that if you Do contact this seller to purchase these "Vintage" comics, that you should be EXTREMELY Cautious and Careful!
So why would I post News of such a listing?
Well, there Are some great comics in this collection. And for all I know, the seller might be legit. But mostly, so that my readers can see how I disseminate an AD once I've found one. I mean, there was a time when I would "Ask No Questions", because I wanted the collection, and I didn't want to offend the seller.
But let's face it my fellow collectors. It's a Buyers Market!!! The economy is down, and getting worse. Whole comic book collections are [virtually] a dime a dozen now so if the seller really wants to sell that collection, they're gonna have to get right on their price!
Buy Low, and Sell High! That's what I always say.
And NOW, is the time to be Buying! With the proper precautions, of course. Which is exactly why I have posted this article.
So, having said all that. (And hoping you're still with me.)
For your Examination, I give you, the...
