- I don't know if it's incorrect. I've been using this site for a basis on pricing my eBay auctions. But if a lot of the listings aren't updated, I may need to find another source. Thanks.

CBR is a great tool for pricing but isn't fool proof. I like to use CBR, other sites (Mile High, etc), and eBay SOLD auctions to find the right price point. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter what anyone says it's worth...it's what are people willing to pay for it!

- Somebody uses Mile High for pricing? They are notoriously overpriced.

Agreed but I post Buy Now listings (no auctions) on eBay and just want to make sure I don't underprice my comics. I research other eBay listings but the pricing is all over the place. No consistency. Thanks.

It was just an example...but yes, I use Mile High as a reference, with many others. While I find their service and grading to be problematic at times, but as with any resource, there will be discrepancies with price. I have found a good bit of bargains in the past and quite a few fair deals with Mile High. If something is high, it doesn't matter because I find it everywhere I can and pick the best situation for me.

- Well said AmZoMBiE! I appreciate what you guys do! On top of the price guide, you provided me a forum that i have found a group of people, on multiple continents, that have not only created the most comprehensive list of every thing possible for a silly old comic, but have become friends! F the haters...keep on keeping on! Thank all of you for making this happen and giving me a place to let my nerd out!

- Read your 2nd post...it comes across as you saying all of their hard, free work isn't good enough. You may not have intended it but that's how it reads. You can't rely on one site for all values...you have to do homework.

I misunderstood how the site works but I'm not mad about it. I just realized I will need to look at other sources besides yours to determine pricing.
And if Amzombie can't take criticism of any kind without blowing a fuse, maybe he doesn't have the temperament to be a moderator.

- I think the better question is why would someone post something on eBay, the most up-to-date market pricing there is, only to come back to here to get a price?

Haha...maybe if everyone else is on the opposite side from you, maybe YOU are wrong! You could have just realized and understood your wording is poor but instead you want to tell the community, and Moderator, they are wrong??? Good luck getting help on here if you keep that up! Do you have any clue what a great resource this is you clown?
You used a poor choice of words...just try explaining yourself rather than alienating yourself. Nobody gives a about your auctions or how much more work you need to put in now that you understand how the site works...poor guy! Stubbornness is apparently bigger in Texas too!
