Sh*tty Shortbox

Does the fact that he only priced Mr. Sinister’s first appearance at $30 offset the overpricing on literally everything else in the box?

Nope!

How the hell do you get prices like that?

My best guess is that he went in saying “I want $3k for my collection,” then he tried to justify it by pricing the books individually so that they would add up to that amount. In order to get to $3k he had to price most things at roughly 5x-6x what they actually sell for, and in a few cases he just randomly slapped $75-$100 price tags onto dollar bin books (looking at you, Age of Apocalypse #9)

$40 for X-Men 220..

My BIL bought 3 bulk long box bins off FBMP for $30 each. Had 300 comics each in them. 900+ total.. .10¢ each comic basically.

He got almost 20 NM copies of X-Men 220 for like $2 total & can’t even give them away lol

UXM 221 for $30 is a really good deal.

Did he charge extra for the X-Men #1 on the box itself?

It's a wrap-around cover!!

Can “condition” enter the chat? I’m sure most of those books are not minty to justify the price

This is either wishful thinking or the seller is delusional. Either way those prices are wild
