I looked at a guys collection of 8k comics. He was the same, didn't care for comics but had been buying up comics for years maybe decades with the intent to cash in when he retired. I went through every comic he had hoping to find something to justify his $3k price. There wasn't a single book worth anything. I realized he was just buying other people's trash comics for years. 8k comics, not one even worth $10. If felt really bad for him. He was super nice too. I couldn't bring myself to tell him it was worthless. I just told him that they weren't the kind of comics I was interested in.

@BrysComics Год назад

Sometime people think “these will be worth something someday” without even looking to see what’s in the boxes…

@doctorwhok9p103 Год назад

great comment..it is hard to tell folks that their comics are worthless .. usually just do the same comment as you "not something I need for my collection"

@David-zj3bp Год назад

You were nice because you didn't want to hurt his feelings or offend him. You should watch the show Pawn Stars. People walk in there asking for thousands for items. Rick and his team always give it to them straight w/o being offensive. Some sellers walk away while others accept the offers.

@Qwiegybow04 Год назад

I always tell people the truth. I soften the blow as much as possible but I will tell them that the comics they have in the condtion they have are not worth very much. By saying "something I dont need. Or something I am not interested in." while you are being nice. I wouldn't want the individual to then try and sell it to somebody else in thinking, oh, maybe somebody else might want them. Saves me time, saves them time. And at least now they know.

@brianng8350 11 месяцев назад

I don’t like speculators; so,I’m happy they are worthless. Comics should be read and enjoyed. Comics is not a good investment.

@jessecates3855 Год назад

Thank you Bry I appreciate you putting this up and helping me out and teaching and giving me more insight on what I had and ways to sell. Thank you again for your help bro

@dprescott1970 Год назад

Man, I totally appreciate your willingness to help people out. It speaks volumes about your character. Keep up the great work.

@safcollectibles8423 Год назад

Huge props to you man on helping him out. You could have just walked away. Not only did you suggest how to sell them but also creating a pile of the bigger keys. That’s what the comic community is all about

@jasonsalazar7126 Год назад

Nice video bro and I can say first hand that you are a man that lives by your words. I have never met someone so passionate about comics and the love of collecting them. Truly a magical time to collect and share our collections. Buyers and sellers just need to respect each other and be fair! We all want to prosper!

@littlekoalas6174 Год назад

So glad you had the good sense to walk away and had a walk price, some people don't have that shut off valve and overpay or overspend. Trust me it's tempting but as it's said what once was lost can be gained again. Great video Bry. Take care. God bless.

@nerdyoldwoman9651 Год назад

I love your attitude. It's just so much easier to be decent and honest.

@nathanielmcdonough4288 Год назад

One thing I have to say about you Bry is you are quite a guy. You didn't have to do that guy any favors and you being the awesome fellow you are, took the initiative to show the guy the ropes and try and help him get a better understanding of what he has. Kudos to you my brother!

Thanks my friend

That many low grade non keys would take forever to sell, not to mention the space they would take up. Many would probably never sell. I'd consider 50 pack bundles for $25 to people who just wanted reader copies of any books. $5000 was a very generous offer. I was honestly feeling $1500 would be fair. In my opinion, you dodged a bullet, Bry.

@wiressss6852 Год назад

Agreed.

@eljeffe7472 Год назад

In the past 5 years or so, i've bought/sold comics in just about every way possible. The only realistic way to make money is to buy from someone wanting to sell their collection. Me and a friend turned bought a collection last year. We turned minor key She-Hulk and TMNT books that we bought for 10 cents each (total quantity of books divided by total payout to seller) into CGC 9.8's that sold for over $200. Your social media presence provides you with a fantastic opportunity! Thanks for the videos!!

I know this video was 11 months ago, but i had a bad experience at an estate sale where they were selling a lot today. This video made feel a lot better about the situation. thanks man.

@jasonmills6486 Год назад

Love your videos! It's nice to see the community helping the community. Keep it up man.

@cvang999 Год назад

Interesting take. Blows my mind you know so many keys and others comics and that you got a system. Great info

@fatdadcomics81 Год назад

Hands down, you are one of my favorite comic personalities in the game. Thanks for the info.

@BrysComics Год назад

Thank you!

@brickvato3885 Год назад

Thank you so much for sharing. The one thing I have learn as a collector is that you have to have strong will power to not want to get everything. I applaud you for your strong will power.

@soup6224 Год назад

Got sick a few years ago and I had a $80,000 medical bill I was able to sell off about 10,000 comic books to just random people went to my local comic shop where I have been buying comics for 20 years and they were trying to give me 50 cents a book. I had Incredible Hulk 181 Giant size X-Men 1 and they offered me $100 a piece. I made over $48,000 piecing off my collection

@BlindWhiskeyReviews Год назад

I feel like you were being very generous offering $5k. I don't know that I would have wanted to even get to $4k. So much work and risk involved.

@SharkFisher13 Год назад

Respect, Bry. My walk price would probably have been a little higher than yours, but I'm 14 hours away and I already have 40 long boxes of unresearched stuff to sort through this winter LOL. I totally agree with you on the "wish" price from the buyers perspective. When a seller sets the price and it meets that wish price, I'm always the first to say, "If I make a bunch of money, I am happy to give some back." Sometimes the sellers thanked me and I have given them money later. Sometimes the sellers say, "I don't want to know. Good luck."

@parallelwho5912 Год назад

Great video, good advice, particularly when you broke down the work involved in trying to resell the books.

@davidfausel9029 Год назад

A video like this is very cool, Bry. As far as this collection and the price, he definitely made the right call.

@nau97 Год назад

Great video, most people don't get the opportunity to see how deals like this get done, or not done as this is the case. Thanks for sharing the experience.

@rafe496 Год назад

I used "walk price" for everything I ever buy, not just collectables. That's good advice for anything. Cars, etc.. Great vid man.

@jimchurchsr2860 Год назад

Wow - you keep talking about how cool that guy was but this video says a lot about you - you are one of the most honest members in our community - wish you were on the east coast - keep doing these videos and may you prosper more in our hobby - you deserve it

@charlesdowdy2921 Год назад

Very nice of you to help the guy out and use your platform to put him in touch with all the comic fans that watch your videos! And to turn down the Darkhawk #1s shows what a solid dude you are Bri! I wouldn't be surprised if his books wind up in the hands of a follower of your channel! Love your content!

@johnbower7225 Год назад

Super stand up move for not taking the dark hawks and showing the guy what books are the value books. There needs to be more people like you in the comic community.

@Vp-jt3vl Год назад

Wow thats a massive collection, great vid and advice.

@sidneyrivera3578 Год назад

So many books to go through and so many deemed worthless. Makes me think about my current collection and how it is also has a high chance of being worthless later.🤦🏻 Thanks for the video Bry. Keep grinding bro!✌🏼

@David-zj3bp Год назад

They're worth something, at least a dollar plus each. Don't try to sell to comic book shops. They will always tell you that your books aren't worth much. Yet they'll turn around and sell them for $2 plus each to their customers. I thought they said they're "worthless" or 50 cents 😅😅😅. They're like the car dealerships, they will always offer you less than what your car is worth. Because they're running a business and must make a profit in order to stay afloat. They have yo pay their employees, bills, and turn a profit at the end of the day. I would try to sell them on eBay and other apps. There are a few out there today, even on Instagram. Good luck to you!

Damn I’m surprised he wouldn’t settle on $5500. It sounds like it had at least that much value. Especially when you have it to yourself really start digging in it.

@kylekudrick8218 Год назад

You are a man of honor sir. I raise my glass to you 🍻

@ReQuest17 Год назад

Without going through all the boxes, it's hard to determine whether or not you dodged a bullet. The fact that it's been picked through twice means it's fairly likely.

@justinreddick2615 Год назад

A whole lot of stress with it but could pay off if you have the time to do the work. Another great video man!

@BrysComics Год назад

@anastacialehman9231 Год назад

Thanks for the tips. Good on you for walking. Most wouldn't be able to get over the FOMO and walk away. Without going through every book you'll never know whether you dodged a bullet or not. Best to trust your gut though.

@brucecree9170 Год назад

Totally dodged a bullet there! Huge inventory of dollar bin books. Probably an occasional gem but it didn’t sound like the conditions of any of the books were pristine. You have been so successful with buying and reselling well curated collections. I would stick with your winning strategy rather than investing in a field of muck with the hope of finding a diamond.

@LiquidWeapon 10 месяцев назад

It would take months to properly catalog each book and record estimated values and that's before even deciding what to do with them and actioning that decision. I think overall it would have been harder to pass if the condition was generally NM or better. Makes it much easier when they appear to be mostly reader copies.

@PeterParker-vq2cz Год назад

whew, dodged that bullet...BUT as you said, it woulda been fun.

@leeniren3706 Год назад

Even had you taken the books, that’s a lot of storage space one would need. If you brought it to your shop it would cut your space by large percentage. Not too many people could consider it for that reason alone

@STCKBXS Месяц назад

Sometimes in life, you gotta walk away. I’m doing that more as I get older. Good stuff here.

@bjnowak Год назад

I pretty much just gave away 10k comics for 3k. I bought 15k books for 15k and purged it. But still meat on the bone for this guy. I was moving and tired of moving them

@Ech0_3 Год назад

Totally agreed with you "wish price" as being just sleezy, honestly. I think the comic community is MOSTLY good about that - but the card industry....holy cow. Just tried to sell my old cards on FB just asking for best offers, and wow was I shocked what people were trying to do. Sad.

@wylier Год назад

There are scammers and bad actors in virtually every area of collectibles.

@Caseshells123 Год назад

I would have offered .20 a book for that bulk. I tell him you picked it clean and you made your money. The rest is reading copies that’s it. That lot I put up 30 books on eBay for $11.99 plus shipping

@robertjackson-fs9sl Год назад

The absolute most important thing when buying large quantities of items is the time thing. What could i be doing with this time if i didn't allocate to selling a huge collection of items slowly. Zero in on the best stuff first and let the marginal time consuming lower profit items fall by the way side to someone else that is okay doing it like this. You will climb the ladder faster like this.

@hogations Год назад

I think you dodged a bullet - no doubt you could have many some reasonable money on this, but the amount of time and effort required to make it work might drive you batty. Very decent of you to give him good advice!
