And actually, I think the $10.99 price tag makes it pretty attractive. The great bulk of my sales happen in that $28-$35 range. Obviously my biggest scores have higher ticket prices, but those are few and far between.<br /><br />I like where your heads at, and I'll be looking into Avatar material and that book in particular. Thanks for the heads up!<br /><br />RyanChronic Insomniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03556955611235055093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6036549690500270056.post-75794489095408250412012-01-24T16:46:20.792-06:002012-01-24T16:46:20.792-06:00Jesse - you know I always forget that it is possib...Jesse - you know I always forget that it is possible to deal floppies on Amazon, too, thanks for reminding me of that fact.<br /><br />Looks like the going rate on Amazon for the Dead Space singles is $10-$15, with issue # 5 way up in the stratosphere for some reason. If I can't get $50 for my complete set, I think I'll piece them out on Amazon.Chronic Insomniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03556955611235055093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6036549690500270056.post-58632354982998057272012-01-24T16:42:03.070-06:002012-01-24T16:42:03.070-06:00Stephen - When I was checking the Dead Space compl...Stephen - When I was checking the Dead Space completed listings, I definitely noticed a wide variance on that Dead Space HC. It closed between $30-$100, and that's pretty crazy.<br /><br />If I had access to a nice copy at full retail, I wouldn't mind having one in stock. Certain items turn, but don't turn quickly. Avengers Assembled HC 2, as an example. If I stick to my guns, I know I'll get at least $150 for it with a little patience. My guess is that the Dead Space HC is like that - eventually you'll find at the high end.<br /><br />Of course, you've been teaching us that Amazon.ca is its own kingdom with its own rules. I find it fascinating.<br /><br />Ryan<br /><br />PS: I was in a Half Price books the other day, and they had some Thunder Agents Archives behind a locked case. Alas, no Volume 1...I'm starting to wonder if that book actually exists!Chronic Insomniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03556955611235055093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6036549690500270056.post-43351511503624474232012-01-24T16:04:49.748-06:002012-01-24T16:04:49.748-06:00A note for something that comes out tomorrow.

Avatards (fans of the cartoon) The number of fans for this series probably outnumbers the entire active comic buying communuity so regardless of the fact that it's a comic fans of the show will be willing to pay for this.<br /><br />2.) There's a spinoff cartoon of the origional series coming out this fall and this book will act as somewhat of a bridge between the origional 3 seasons and this upcoming show. My guess is that if the print run is even slightly on the low side this book will fall well into Ryan's 3:1 profit sweet spot, maybe higher.DJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00291078916287960459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6036549690500270056.post-80364173002888885312012-01-24T11:37:25.142-06:002012-01-24T11:37:25.142-06:00I had a lot of success with the Dead Space single ...I had a lot of success with the Dead Space single issues last year. I never had a full set to auction off, but listing each individually on Amazon for $17-$25 worked really well for a while. I suppose it's time I check my inventory and see what I can sell these for.Jessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08286845722292639179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6036549690500270056.post-21843511492907656512012-01-24T03:52:58.248-06:002012-01-24T03:52:58.248-06:00"IDW thinks that's fucked up."
HAHA..."IDW thinks that's fucked up."<br /><br />HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!<br /><br />Sorry.<br /><br />The funny thing about the Black Mirror HC is that, according to Amazon.ca, I can still order it for around $22 -way below Canadian cover of $35. Funny that. I have also already read the single issues so I did not feel the urge to pull the trigger on it otherwise I might have ordered a copy. Also, my LCS owner says he has it on back order and supposedly coming in the next few weeks. We shall see.<br /><br /> I am starting to think that amazon.ca is the best kept secret on the continent. I have put my single issues of the earlier Scott Snyder Detective issues up on amazon.ca and had not a sniff. Albeit they are listed as used and in VG condition, but still they are being offered for cheap.<br /><br /> As for Dead Space? Funny you should bring that one up. The HC has lost a lot of heat in the last year. My first copy went quickly for near $100, but the second sat around until I dropped the price down to around the $60-$70 mark. I recently came across the first couple issues of the original mini as well as the SDCC alternate cover version of Extraction in someone's $1 bin all in average condition and put them up for sale on Amazon.ca and sure enough: no interest. I could not even get my LCS owner to take them off my hands in trade. This all has me shaking my head over the money people will throw at stuff on ebay even before shipping costs are factored in. Funny how things go.<br /><br />PS. Looks like people will pay $10 a copy for Prophet 21 on ebay, but not $7 a copy on my little corner of amazon. At least they are willing to pay for that Hedge Knight TPB...Web Wreckage Stephenhttp://webwreckage.comnoreply@blogger.com
