Closed because evidently people dont like new people selling
Wanted to try this board as well as others to sell some of these copies of this book I have recently acquired. I am asking $30.00 each which includes Media Mail shipping in the United States. Let me know if you would be interested either by responding to the message on this site

It's like $15 on eBay.
Seems weird to come here after hardly previously posting just to try and scalp some cash.

Re: WTS: Star Wars #1 Dark Horse (Sold Out Issue)
Yeah they may be $15.00 now and wandering if this is the same person from another site as well. But when this was listed they were selling for around $40-$50.00 each thats why it was listed at $30.00. And didnt think there was a crime in trying to sale on different venues thought that was what was called marketing and trying to make a business. But guess unless someone post so many post on this site they are wrong for trying to sale something that someone else may be wanting. My bad. Guess unless u a seasoned veteran on this site or a real brick and mortar store you just need to go somewhere else and sale or be accussed of scalping, etc.

Even if you had 10,000 posts, you'd still be on ValiantFans.com trying to sell Star Wars comics quickly.
There's a lesson in marketing in there somewhere, but I didn't study marketing, so I don't know what it is.

Dude, you have 14 posts on this forum and are defending yourself vehemently (with bad English, btw. "Wondering" not "wandering". "sell" not "sale", "find desirable" not "be wanting".) for a flip sale. Just go list the book on eBay, and if it sells then it'll be for a fair market price, or maybe you'll luck out and get your scalped price.longshot975 wrote:Yeah they may be $15.00 now and wandering if this is the same person from another site as well.

There's nothing wrong with leveraging the current market for something, but I'd guess the perception for what you are doing is negative because of the combined affects of your presentation. A sophomoric writing level combined with an opportunistic approach on a forum that you apparently aren't a contributing member of doesn't make for a good presentation.
Ironically, I don't really care that you are here scalping your Star Wars comic book, but these circumstances are simply too obvious not to point out. Good luck with the sale, and please don't bother with any "English is my second language" response nonsense. In capitalism it's got to be perfect and reasonable, or you get a reaction like this.

This thread made me laugh, I have no idea why I even began to read it!
BTW, how many posts do I have? I'm not sure, but I have a bridge to sell here on the forum.
