 Why not? Put 'em here. I think it might be fun to look back and see where the prices are in the future - did they skyrocket, hold, or tank?
Okay...here's a two year old book people are talking about. Probably just because it was seen on Comic Book Men last week.  Rick and Morty #1$389.96 Ended: Mar 05, 2017 , 4:18PM |

Can there be a poll for each where we can choose what we think will happen? I'd vote 'TANK' on this one if that price is based on it appearing on a tv show.

There IS a poll section in the Admin area. The funny thing is that most flippers recognize that these bubbles are short-lived, and that's why they get extremely upset with slow TATs. Someone almost always gets left holding the bag though. Can't say I feel too sorry for them. |

No, and that's the funny thing: it never changes. Someone ALWAYS gets left holding the bag, and you'd think people would learn.
They don't.

That's just weird.
I remember back in the early 90's when this sort of thing happened before...a new book would go to $15-$25 in a couple of months, and that would be smoking hot.
Superman #50, Batman #457, Robin #1, Ghost Rider #1...all topped out at about $25.
Superman #75 was the granddaddy of them all, and was selling for $100 (the "high" price, though certainly there would have been scattered sales higher) by the end of the December, 1992.
Now, $100 is left in the dust on a routine basis, because of slabs, even though, inflation-wise, the price of new books hasn't increased all that much.
Still...$5 for a new comic book at Barnes & Noble. I can't fathom it. Who's paying that much for a standard new book?

Some of us are not buying Marvel at all.
Also if you are selective there are books that
I pay $4.99 for, not all but a few.

I stopped buying Marvels for quite some time. I just can't get into all of the changes they've made over the years.

^ When you take established characters and known story line,
and then crap on them, I AM GONE. Change is ok, if done right,
but to recreate something just to do it, is not.

 I am a little worried here, as no one is disagreeing.

I agree with you. I'm okay with change if it makes sense, but when they make drastic changes to the character so that they're almost an entirely new character then I'm out. |

Yes, Marvel has lost their way,
as well as many, many fans, SAD.

Oh, I definitely agree. I couldn't care less what Marvel and DC do anymore. I'm going to use money that at one time would have been spent on new comics and buy older comics. I am very happy doing that. Not looking back at all |

Are they so far removed from the public that they are
unaware of buyer's/ collector's such as us, or do the
not see us as important to their bottom line$$$$!!!
