Hello everyone,
resuming the train of thought started with the previous post application (which I hope you enjoyed), the first process step by step analysis, ie, where and by whom
BUY.
Here are several possibilities: first
- comics
1b - 1c
EBAY - online shops
1d -
first online forum - markets
1f - comics convention
1g - 1h
classifieds - colleagues and acquaintances
top the list I specifically included the comic shop, who have direct contact with distributors or publishers, and many times, they have beautiful treasures in the stores. I suggest you consult uomoragno.org area devoted to comics, broken down by city and region:
http://www.uomoragno.org/fumetterie/fumetterie.htm
or you can consult the list of comics on other websites or magazines monthly or as mega preview.
EBAY is certainly an alternative, or rather a unique way for a given material.
I started shopping on Ebay in 2001 and I've always felt very well, both when buying on sale.
Ebay offers incredible opportunities and a wide range of products for sale at any time.
In some cases, the comics market has expanded! How?! Some old paper books, especially curiosity (eg containing games for children) did not know them (almost) anyone.
The law of supply and demand is rampant (obviously) in the "Ebay system", resulting in very low prices or, conversely, very high, on products which are very rare.
Just to name a few I can mention Spider-Man Giant Horn 93 (high price) or an entire collection of Nathan Never (very cheap).
Ebay is therefore also useful to check the requests at a fixed price (buy now) and see what has been sold a piece (with research advanced on the auction expired). It allows then to "get an idea" and to avoid, at least in part, the surprises, the erroneous assessments or exorbitant demands.
I should point out that the prices on Ebay for me to represent index (or current prices) and not an assessment of reference for a given register or collection.
I "versus" Ebay are: not being able to touch a register, the storage conditions of the register "a feeling" of the seller (sometimes with very different personal judgments), the virtual impossibility of dialogue directly with the seller and make eye contact, having to pay in advance a person who in the end hardly knows and fears of fraud, an almost complete lack of discount under the auction format online (therefore raise) the shipping cost to the buyer, the fees paid to ebay (for sellers), the risk that the package is lost or lost, that the contents of the package is not damaged due to packaging was not perfect, the risks of cloning of credit cards, the risk of "get carried away" in the tenders and auctions closed prematurely.
My personal opinion about this tool is absolutely positive, over the years has allowed me to meet many people and, above all, to find much material.
Ebay has been a great way to complete the series, especially when the so-called holes are few and a register is Spent quite rare.
To take some examples, I managed to find 41 deluxe Spider-Man, Spider-Man week 41, graduated peter parker, spiderman Elah marvelstoria the end of the mythical superhero Spidy games.
SHOP ON-LINE, over the years, through my research for the completion of the series and various contacts uomoragno.org site, I really appreciated this opportunity and ritenengo useful and appropriate to point out various sites that send experts in the field without no problem throughout Italy and abroad.
In this regard I quote, in alphabetical order:
www.antaninet.it
www.dnecomics.net
www.fumetteria.com
www.oasidelfumetto.it
www.tutttofumetto.it
try it!
In this case, besides having had direct experience of trading, I've also known people and this has facilitated the choices on the basis of professionalism, the material available (or available) and prices.
Part of the advantages and disadvantages of Ebay can certainly also bind to the shops on-line, but certainly there is much to keep in mind that the shopping on-line will increase the professionalism, product knowledge from experts sector from which generally derive greater security and opportunity to purchase discount for the purchase of several pieces, avoidance of the mid-to long-term wish list by contacting us directly to the Fairs (hand delivery).
Add two large sites dedicated Americans, of course, only the original comics:
www.mycomicshop.com
www.milehighcomics.com
Certainly the American sales sites offer an incredible amount of material, a practical use (gear) and a order management which is something unusual and almost impossible to find in other places.
You can find anything at any time and almost without difficulty. Problems can be
prices, which refer to the condition of comics and their price guide, like the famous Overstreet guides (course fee), but just to get an idea, you can check this site for free (there is must register): www.comicspriceguide.com
Another problem for purchases from online stores is the American customs that have recently stepped up checks on incoming parcels, with unpleasant consequences related to payment of 20% of the total declared value the goods. In the category
gadgets, I propose instead a nice Italian group and on the store: www.cosmicgroup.it or a great collector and enthusiast of the sector: in both cases www.farinatoysandcards.com find a wide selection of action figures, busts, statues , gashapon and accessories of the highest quality, combined with high availability. By purchasing directly in Italy (or Europe) you can avoid the unpleasant duties mentioned above and you're sure to have at home in no time your object of desire!
To conclude, I would add also the major portals, e-commerce as the new www.amazon.it, I tested with very good results, and www.bol.it www.lafeltrinelli.it
The material on this portal is linked mostly comic paperback and hardcover version of luxury and not exhausted, with huge discounts and super promotions that encourage the buyer to purchase a lot also thanks to free shipping cost compared to minimum orders of only 19 €.
This was also typical advantages and disadvantages of online shopping already mentioned above.
online forums are a variation on subject of on-line, generally are trading on-line between private, with prices often benefit and possibility of quantity discounts. Also in this sale add some considerations on the variability of the quality of the material, the method of payment accepted (generally made pay) and the lack of direct contact.
suggest you sign up and try the marketplace forum site www.comicus.it
MARKETS and FAIRS CARTOON an excellent opportunity for finding a particular lot of material missing, complete sets and also meetings between fans.
The great advantage of a comic fair is to be a huge supply of material and many sellers, touch the material, to deal with the final price, ask for material not directly exposed to the fair, bringing any wish list and get an idea of \u200b\u200bdifferent prices for different exhibitors.
The main disadvantages are usually inflated prices (with some exceptions of course) and still high compared to other solutions, the fact of having to go to reach the exhibition (and the related costs in terms of time and money) and the price 'input (to be amortized, theoretically with purchases). MARKETS
I generally offer less choice and quantity (with some exceptions), but prices are generally more attractive ... Then luck could be
around the corner! In
Over the years, including the classics FREE Full weekly newspapers or those on-line have proved to be an excellent research opportunities
free and full of pleasant surprises (I found almost the entire range of Supergulp! by placing an ad).
Finally I'm mentioning the colleagues and acquaintances and their famous cellars and attics, the series "does not harm to try, your luck could a wink.
remain open to suggestions and modifications of this discussion open to input and experiences of all.
