Devalued list prices
I'm enjoying the app, but please don't value comics BELOW the original price. Comics don't devalue unless they are damaged. Example: a comic sells for 3.99 and you list its value at 2.00 for no reason. Please fix.

Thanks for the feedback! Our Price Guide reflects real-world market values based on actual sales data. While a comic may have a $3.99 cover price, its current market value depends on what collectors are actually paying for it right now.
If you're seeing a $2.00 value for a comic with a $3.99 cover value, that means recent sales data shows it's currently trading at that price point across HipComic and other marketplaces. Comics can sell below cover prices due to factors like print runs, demand, condition, and market trends - just like any collectible - not just because they’re damaged.
What makes our Price Guide valuable is that it's powered by real-time sales data rather than suggested retail prices or generalized estimates. This gives you an accurate picture of what your comics are actually worth in today's market, whether that's above or below the original cover price.
We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts!
