Amen to that “you stole that” comment. 90% of whatnot sellers are like that. A few days ago I seen someone on whatnot pay $150 over market for a spiderman 252. The seller kept saying this is the cleanest copy you’ll ever find this is easily a 9.8….. and people actually believe him
I hear you my friend I went in what not 1 time and found my way to big influencer stream they hyped dollar books up to $10 and acted like the buyer just bought AF15 for $1 😒. I was like nope I’m out . One good thing about comic bubble maybe some these influencers will go away . Rant over 😆. Nice pickups
I watched a guy named vintage monster recently appeared in a show I frequent and his buying was INSANE - he bought 14 books in ONE show for a total of $2896 - in his defense these were nice books - but he seemed to have ZERO regard for costs once he began bidding. I wonder if it’s the same buyer you are encountering.
Check out the Dave & Adam's show ("dacomics") from last Friday; they were selling "big boy" slabs all show long, and one guy took down a significant portion of them. Had to be at least $15-20k, maybe more.
I've bought many Pops and Comics on Whatnot, even won some expensive autos, etc. One thing these sellers do that I find do annoying is many act like Con Men. OMG, U got the best deal ever! Cant believe we let this go for so cheap! You robbed us! What a great deal! Half the time the deals u get are a little under actual markst value. But most of the time i see ppl bidding and buying stuff 10-30% higher than what they can get it on ebay if theu just look. Many buyers on whatnot are clueless to prices. They think they're getting great deals all the time. I laugh when i see how they overpay. If I'm interested in a comic book, I'm religiously checking high and lows on the book. I will bid up to a certain number, then stop. If a 40 dollar raw book hits 35 dollars, i stop. Then see fools still bidding until $60-70.. I laugh and say damn dude overpayed again. Then the fool seller comes out and screams how great of a deal they got. I'm like, ya all he/she did was make u more money than u expected, lol.
No ones if their books will rise. Also on whatnot when they have a book 50 percent more then what they sell for I call them out. I say dude stop bsing that book is way too high
