[QUOTE="rod, post: 982158, member: 5382"] Basically the internet (especially E-bay) has cut the price of all things collectable. What was once "hard to find" is now only a click away---plus 10 more of the same thing for less. Coming from a long line of "collectors" I can only say "good luck" getting anywhere near what you feel is a fair price. I get a kick out of that "Diggers" show on tv. Supposedly you can dig up a rusty hunk of crap out of the ground and sell it for thousands of dollars----sure you can. Look at the prices that they offer on Pawn Stars and American Pickars and compare that to what they say they could sell it for. Everyone I've ever talked to who has visited the Pawn Stars pawn shop in Vegas says nobody buys anything because its all priced way too high. I just saw an episode of American Pawn that is filmed in Detroit. Some guy brought in 2 big boxes of old comics in mint condition (no #1 Supermans or Batmans) and he wanted $2,000 for them --- he ended up selling them to those crooks for $200. [/QUOTE]
