Valiant variants AREN'T out there (?)

[Elveen]

Here's kind of what I was talking about earlier. This guy has "more than 10 available" of the Shadowman#1 E 1:250 Glow in the dark cover. Are we supposed to believe they ordered at least 2500 copies of the issue? I call *SQUEE*. What am I missing?

So in this particular case, the seller is pre-selling books that he does not yet have for $400 each. They will cost him $250 each; and he will have a lot of other books and the appropriate variants (e.g. 1:10, 1:20, 1:50, etc) to sell on top of that.

So you pay him $400, and he in turn pockets $150 on the spot, and spends $250 ordering the 1:250 for you (with the understanding of course that it will be mailed to you at a later date).

He then sells all the associated variants he can for additional proffit (since at this point he is in the green and it’s all profit). Oh, and he still has 250 copies +/- to sell or give away as he chooses.

If enough people order from him, it will not only be quite profitable for him, but he may also be able to fund his own collection. Hell, if he has 11x copies available to screen before they are mailed out, he could keep the “Best One” to ensure a 9.8+ for each variant (including the 1:250) and still provide his customers exactly what they ordered!

Sounds wild to some, and maybe it is. But it’s buisness, and if you think this is crazy, you should see how the pharmaceutical, credit card, and oil industries work lol!

This is exactly what I said in the post above , but you just did it 1000x better.

Guys do this all the time. There are a few Cali buyers that I have met and talk to at shows that do the pre-sell big ratio variants and then order. From talking to them, it’s actually pretty easy.

Who knows how many stacks of Shadow #13, Eternal Warrior #5, and every other "rare" variant he has.

Lol. I figured this seller was someone high up like cheechenyu or w.e
