Are comic book collectors getting ripped off more often than they realize? In today’s video, I break down how buyers get scammed, overcharged, or misled when purchasing comic books—whether it’s at a convention, online, or during high-speed Whatnot and eBay Live auctions.
A few years ago, I spent $5,500 on comic books at a con and later discovered trimmed comics, extra staples, and other undisclosed defects. That experience—and the comments that followed—made me realize this is a much more common issue in the comic book hobby than I thought.
We’ll talk about:
How collectors get ripped off buying comics
Dealer responsibility vs buyer responsibility
Risks of buying raw comics at conventions
Dangers of Whatnot and eBay Live auctions
The truth about grading, estimates, and undisclosed defects
Real examples of creators who were actually taken advantage of in the industry
By the end, I ask the big question:
Is it mostly the buyer’s responsibility to know what they’re purchasing in a comic book transaction?
