I see no copies of VEI's Divinity #1 first print non-variant on eBay at the moment. If I had that book in stock I'd try to see if they sell at 9.99 right now and go from there. If I got a couple sales at that level it would go to 12.99 and I'd re-evaluate.
I also see a lot of action on eBay in the last week for Divinity books, period.

I sold 5 copies of Guardians 300 #1 today. I hadn't sold any copies previous to this.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/GUARDIANS-3000- ... 58861?rd=1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Thecargohold sold 16 copies in the last 24 hours. Before the last 24 hours they were trickling out. Not sure if anything's going on with this book or not.

The rumor is the next GOTG movie is titled Guardians 3000.

Yeah, I've notcied that. Strange there aren't any regulars out there. The limiting factor on this though is that it's a mini.

Just sold my last two copies of Uncanny Avengers 5 (2013 Series). That's the first Apocalypse Twins. I should have raised my price more. I sold a bunch of those over the last month or so.

I can't remember who was talking about this site, but I really like it. I know DBS does a better job but it is good to see the word spread!

Also on that same site they now have 3 Valiant books listed in the top ten. In descending order from high to low, Rai 0 , Harbinger 1 and Solar 3. Pretty cool to see. Plus I like their Wizard style of listing.

There's absolutely no doubt in my mind the VEI keys should be reacting to the movie news in the same way V1 keys are. That's what I call an opportunity. :thumb:

VEI books will pop when movie app leak or casting is shared. Not until then.
Harby wars should be going up now-ish. But the 5th movie is a long way off to sit on books.

Why is V1 popping and VEI isn't?

Because all major Valiant characters 1st app are classic Valiant.
Not to be like I'm something, but I've had conversations with he dudes sharing with them how they get heat on their books. I had some very specific conversations.

They need to get VEI created characters in the movies.
Livewire (different enough from classic Valiant), Darpan, the monk, Shan, Ion, Hidden Moon, ginger, Chronos, pulse, gamma, peeps like that, and then VEI will get heat.

I agree on that 100%. When the VEI characters hit, then we'll see them pop. Punk Mambo, Darpan, etc. Unfortunately, we have no idea whether that will happen, and the V1 characters are still the Valiant Universe, to a large degree.

I am money on the low print VEI issues. Anything under 10K, and any variants. The variants are going to hold their value long term, at least most of them. HW#3 1:50 is the one to get, followed by #1 1:50, I think.

I'd be carful of just getting low printed books for low printed sake.

Focus on 1st app books with possible movie tie ins
Also possible something like blowing up Mex city if they ever do a armor hunters movie (doooooooown the road).

Just cause a VEI book is low printed I do not believe there will be a jump in price.
A low printed book with a 1 st app of something that could be movie related, then yes.
For now, movie hype will drive price.

Maybe in a long few years and there are people that want to Pokemon the universe, then low printed books will skyrocket. I also think variants will have a big collector market, especially to key variants.

I agree with that. Low print books are a long game, as are most of the non-movie variants.

Quantum & Woody, Eternal Warrior and Doctor Mirage are generally the lowest printed books. The variants on those are generally in bad shape. I can't get a 9.8 to save the life of me. I've tried. The variants on these books are trashed.

Luckily D M didn't have any variant besides the SDCC and sketch cover not counting the Plus edition
