Congratulations, you're getting close! I've watched your series for a while and am enjoying it. One question, and apologies if you've answered this and I've missed it - it seems like every time you purchase comics, you subtract the amount from your fund pool (like you bought 10 comics for $100, so you take out $100 from your earnings), but then you only add the net profits from the sale. It feels like you're shortchanging yourself by adding the net profits rather than the gross sales, since your purchase price from the books was previously deducted. Am I explaining this well enough, or just making this confusing, lol?
I am not 100% sure what you mean. I am short changing myself on purpose because I have to pay Whatnot/Ebay fees. So if I have $100 in the bank and I buy a comic for $100 I will have $0. If I sell it for $200 but Whatnot takes their fee, I won't have $200 in the bank, I will have like $180. I can't spend $200 because I never got $200. I actually think this answered your question after I re-read everything. I don't think you knew there were fees.
@basementcomics4u I think when you were saying net profits, you were referring to deducting fees, when I was taking net as profit minus initial cost of the comic and fees (which you had already deducted). This makes sense to me now. Good luck finishing your challenge!
You got a ton of progress done! What grade are you reaching for with your hulk 181? I saw a 2.0 signed by Stan Lee, Herb Trimpe, and John Romita for only $2000

Nice purchase on that collection! I hope you find many more great books! So exciting that the 181 challenge is so high!!

I think he is deducting the fees and costs through his shows and not the original cost.

@@glennlittle124 I think you are correct.

I used to have a 7.0 that I sold for $4000, so I am hoping for a 7.5-8.0 for less than that.
