  • Oh my. I sold one NM98 9.4+, and the local buyer said it s raw, so he wanted to substract the cost for sending and grading, and we ended up, around 300.
    I have another buyer for an almost the same grade book, this time the price is around 350. Sale is not finale yet. Is it too low compare to the listed guide? Thanks

  • Not sure what you're asking? Our pricing is based on a 9.4 raw book and the other grades have been set to a percentage based on that.
    Is your book graded? If so then yes our lists will be lower.
    Note we may have a book listed lower than what its actually going for because no one has asked us to check on it for a value in some time, so If it's a book that needs to have a price check on it, you can post it in the Price Check form.
    It also just comes down to what a buyer wants to pay and what you are willing to take to part with it. If you're happy and he's happy all's good

  • Price Guides are NOT Bibles. They are there to Guide you in knowledge of what is more popular and assigning a Monetary Value to that...A Book in reality is only worth what one person is willing to pay for said book. It is ALWAYS suggested that you do your own research on top of any values you get from guides to come to your specific "Happy Sales Value".

    Also in your example up there about the guy wanted to deduct...Why would you take money off for that? That is not your issue, nor your obligation to pay for...If you are entertaining that, then why not just send it in yourself and sell it for 3x raw?

    I think itll cost you $30 plus shipping (ish) to grade...at the grade you say, you will get soooo much more in value and sales by grading yourself...

    The price we based on were from Gocellect, and he said that it were around 500+/- (slabbed). Well ofc i should have do more research.
    I wish it s that easy. We are not living in the US. So i thought that 150$ (fee & shipping) should be fair enoug. But at that time i forgot that slabbed book is more expensive than raw.

  • If we have the book listed for $300 and you sold it for $150 then yes you sold low, but it still comes down to what you're happy with.
    You can't sell the book as raw thinking it's more valuable graded so your going to ask for the graded price, doesn't work that way.
    If you want to know what a book is selling for just go on ebay and do some research to find a value. And shipping costs and grading costs isn't your problem.
