The Next 3 Months is the BEST TIME to Buy Comics! 

Having done audio/visual work when I was younger, I wonder just how many people realize the amount of time it takes to create an almost 9 minute video like this. From the constant cuts -- interspersed with external footage -- to the multiple zooms and a clearly prepared and well-presented text, kudos to you for an outstanding presentation. Buying and selling comics has to be a labor of love because you could probably make a lot more just creating these videos for other companies. Well done and keep up the great job!

Very nice to know the ups and downs of buying and selling, although troubling knowing that the best time to buy is when I’m the most broke😭

Yup….fellow Hobbyist “Buy Now”!! Happy Holidays 🎊 🎉

In addition to prices taking a dip during the holidays, I've also noticed a slight increase in more desirable, rarer books up for sale on eBay. For the title I collect, I tend to notice the same books on display all year long, not seeing the few rarer issues that I really want. When December comes, these better books start emerging from the shadows.

I just got the approval to have my final promotion conversation, so that comes with a raise. This is most welcome news on the comic-front haha.

Lol..."It's gonna get worse"...comedic timing spot on!

Great stuff. Thanks for sharing

Wish I could find decent collections to buy! Stuck with eBay hunting.

I save monthly every month for Christmas. I don't know why this isn't mainstream advice. We're a hard working check to check family and during the holidays we just use that fund to spoil our kids and get loved ones gifts and no one notices how check to check we are.

Nice of "John" to join you for this one. :) Love the statue.

Sorry Son, Santa didn't come this year. Your dad is business minded with a scary love for comic books. 😂😅 Great video. Not too long either. 👍

as a buyer I never new this info. Thanks!

I kind of figured this out in the early 2000s as a buyer. I typically waited for black Friday and hit the sellers during the winter weather permitting. It's one of those little insider knowledge things when you're a collector.

This is very true. I'm into a very different segment of comics, let's just say not Marvel/DC, and I've noticed this too. Prices down 30% or more from the summer. I'm not lowering my sell prices much, will ride it out and just work some of the plentiful OT this time of year, but I am buying and rewarding those sellers who do with some sales.

The amount of great keys I’ve picked up recently for good prices is CRAZY. Cassandra Cain, Lobo, Booster Gold, Rogue, Raven/Starfire/Cyborg, Livewire, Silver Banshee, Flatline- and even a well-priced Hawkman 4 (first Zatanna)!!! It’s been such a blast picking up great keys for affordable prices.😊

Thanx for the morale boost! Off to post some more books on eBay! Great vid, sire!

I grabbed an avengers 57 yesterday for $65. Pretty sure you're right lmao

Great vid dude! Time to spend a milly ahahahah!

I recently bought a bunch of keys and trades for about 50%-75% less than the vendor's own prices, they said they wanted to unload as much as possible.

very nice topic here

That’s funny. I just picked up a full Frank Miller/Ann Nocenti DD run for pretty cheap.

Cool, so maybe I can finally complete my Todd McFarlane Incredible Hulk run this winter.

I just got the JLA by Grant Morrison Omnibus for only $45 plus shipping and tax

We’re also dealing with writers strike downstream. Not a lot on the MCU train until Deadpool and Marvels was a bust by all accounts.

January will have to be my time to try buying. Besides Christmas I have car registration and insurance, which I pay the full year, due.

Very informative I'm still holding back before I unleash on ebay. I my command unleash hell ☠️💥

i got a 5.0 - 6.0 green lantern vol 2 issue 21 for 32 dollars a couple days ago and a detective comics 401 for 9 buck in pretty good condition

Just picked up a Swamp Thing 37 for an incredible deal. Well under market value. Great condition.

Every season is buying season when James has claim sales 💰 👍

I have been perusing around more lately for some deals

So I am responding to this video in February and I am on my way to the Clifton comic book show. I will let you know that the prices have not adjusted the dealers haven’t changed their prices and the dealers aren’t so interested in making deals unless you buy a boatload of product. Perhaps if one wants to go to eBay, they can find these deals, but not live.

How about Justice League Task Force 6 when.they saved the Doctor who repaired Bruce Wayne Back? Is this not important part of the story?

Unless youre looking for TMNT 1 1984 which never goes down.

Just swooped on a low cost 1st Lobo (decent grade), which I’ve been after for years. Had to do a double take on the price (based on condition!).

Bro literally hit the nail on the head. I feel like a straight vulture right now.

James, thank you again for another great video. This really confirmed some of my own assumptions. Since I'm doing the comics as a side-hustle, I'm still trying to hang in there with the full-time job but man I really don't know how much longer I can take that place. Since prices are down, I have already started doing what you suggested and trying to pick up as many deals as I can. I recently added a Cerebus #1 and ASM #129 simply because the prices were too good to be true. Hopefully my attachment doesn't get too strong and stops me from selling when the time comes.😝

Great video with lots of good points. But you missed a huge point! 2024 is an election year. The economy slows down during election years which will help buyers.

I think you're calling this way too early. Prices have been trending down recently but there was so much price-inflation over the past few years that values are still way above their pre-pandemic levels. You're right about collectibles being a cyclical market but the market hasn't actually corrected itself. Sales volume is way down, but prices are still too high. I think 2025-2027 is gonna be the time to buy.

i am a comic fan

It's only $1.89 a month That's a deal

I wish I had money to spend

I don’t agree I see a spike in buying because of Xmas

How come You never cover 100page or.Annuals?

John Stewart is my fave Green Lantern! Good to know about these timelines.

2024 is going to be an election year so be prepared for some sort of unnatural economy highs or chaos.

I'm glad you're getting the news out, but this is kind of OLD news, eh? I thought EVERYONE understood that people are broke over the Holiday season and don't begin to recover until they get their tax refund in the Spring. BASIC observational economics......and nothing to do with comic books. Just sayin'...... 😀

First

There is a bull market blasting off in BTC. Why on earth would any intelligent human even consider. investing in comics. I'm just saying.....

So what you're saying is take advantage of people who are hurting and will panic this time of the year.

You really shouldn’t try to influence the market to benefit your channel.

So I’m gonna put the title of this video to the test by going to: Sentiment Depot Antiques & Collectibles 238 W. Delaware Ave. Pennington NJ 08534 Wed 10 am - 5 pm #MintHunterComics 💯💪🏽🔥
