Comic Values / Prices

[Jim Dreyfuss]

We all love to see the value (price in ComicBase) of our comics increase, but the question is how accurate is the price and does it reflect sales occurring on eBay, ComicLink, Pedigree Comics, Heritage Auctions, etc. and utilize sources such as GoCollect and other possible aggregators. I often check the value in ComicBase for my CGC Graded Comics against the aforementioned sites and often see big swings. Pete, would ask if you could work with more sources to have your pricing algorithm provide a higher degree of accuracy based upon recent sales. Thoughts?

[Andrew d’Entremont]

I'd welcome more sources as well. As I understand it, ComicBase calculates values based on Atomic Avenue sales, so if you have a rare comic which has seen no sales on Atomic Avenue then it won't be able to accurately reflect the current market value. Am I wrong? 

[Mark J. Castaneda]

Sales data is collected for Atomic Avenue and from Heritage.

If you ever notice a price for a listing in the database that should be looked into, use the 'Request Price Check' option under ComicBase's internet menu; our editorial team will look into it further and adjust if needed.
