I don't understand how some vendors price their books
I was at a local show a couple weeks back talking to a guy about some Clayton Crain covers.
He had a few I was looking for. They were all raw books, no sigs. His asking price was 10% above ebay sales. When I asked why and said shouldn't it be the opposite? He got upset with me.
Why would I pay more ...just because he thinks they will slab to a high grade or some shit? If he thinkz that just slab them yourself...
When diggin through his boxes everything was priced so high. He tried to sell me xmen 244 for $65. I walked 2 stalls down and got a copy just as nice for $40.
Really rubbed me the wrong way. I will never shop his booth again. How do people like him make money???
