The reason you didn't do well as a vendor is because everybody knows your reputation as Strap On!
You are absolutely right
In reality people are scared to spend. Inflation is still crazy.
100% this. Right around the start of all the bank wackiness, I decided to stop all online comic book buys for 6 months minimum to see where things are going. My buying wasn't problematic but you can't really be overprepped for potential hard times. I'm using the extra cash to finish off my car payments early (almost done as it is) to free up even more monthly cash and bolster my rainy day fund just incase. Still hitting the cons in my region (northeast) and planning to take less cash out of the ATM this year compared to last. I figure it's still important to have your fun, within reason, but keep an eye out on where the economic winds are blowing.
Great video and talk Brother!! That is GREAT that you made a new friend and made some awesome trades and finds!
It was the best part of the day talking to him
Something else that may have affected the turnout was the number of shows that day across the border in Virginia. I ended up going to the Roanoke Valley show, but I know there was also a show in Hillsville and Galaxy Con in Richmond.
Yea I heard there were a bunch
I am absolutely with you on becoming a Jim Steranko fanboy. I am buying so many of his covers, as I can get them.
The FF King Sized Special #6 and Nick Fury Agent of Shield #4 are both great pick ups!
Thank you
You should have put on your wrestling alter-ego costume as The Avenging and Penetrating Strap-ON and entered the wrestling ring.
I didn’t want to have to do it…
Great observations. Nice books as well that you picked up. Maybe the next Mini-Con you have better success.
Fingers crossed!
If the show itself is bad (like recently at retro expo in Allen, Texas), you have to make the most of it however you can. I spent my day picking up comic lots from the non-comic dealers around the room and at the end of the show if I would not have gotten Simon Bisley to sign 20 books and do remarks on 2 of them I feel like the show would have been a massive disappointment. Now I just need to send the Bisley books to CBCS to get graded and then decide if I am keeping one or both of the remarks...
Good way to look at it
just a thought, if i was you I would've gone to see the site and where they were going have me set up first. and ask questions about foot traffic. I don't think I would want to be set up next to a wrestling ring. but that's just my own onion.
It wasn’t like that when I went last time we were blindsided
I see you SIKTC on your display. I would have definitely looked at them if I would have been there.
They are for sale
The Hickman run on Fantastic Four is AMAZING! The negative zone stuff is great! Do you still have some omnibuses for sale?
Yes I do! I’m planning to do an TH-cam claim sale soon
From what I've seen at the recent shows I've done is that people are charging 2021 prices at these shows. It's not gonna fly. If stuff is way overpriced people are going to walk away. People will buy $1 and $2 books all day but the expensive stuff is not moving.
I am still seeing this today in October of 23. I have a guy who has an Avenger 112 for me, but he wants $250. I cannot justify a CGC price on an unslabbed book, and now I have to haggle.
"rassling ring" LOL!!!
I thought it was funny too just not at the time
Definitely not your fault. A live wrestling event and comics do not mix. Whoever set up that show blew it.
We just need to be in their store again like the last time
Niiice Grabs!!!
thank you
Nice film 👍😀
Thank you!
You did try your best.
All I can do
Understandable. How can you compete with Tombstones and Pedigrees lol
You can’t
Too bad the show was mishandled. It’s obvious pricing had nothing to do with low sales. I hope you demanded your money back for paying to be there because they are supposed to guarantee attracting a large crowd. At least you salvaged the day making come awesome trades. It’s always good to hook up with another collector! 👍
That’s an odd place to sell lol
True that
I see some books I whould try to grab
add me instagram
Good vid 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it
What's up Strap on
Hey what’s up
I was never a fan of the Hickman run. I wanted to like it, but couldn't get into it. It was just ... too much. Way too many characters. I ended up selling all my FF books (the spin-off) and don't miss them. Hickman turned me off Fantastic Four for a while. Nice Annual #6 and Shield! Nice Ice Cream Man pick up.
Lol you only traded with another comic dealer.
Yes lol
