I need to adjust my selling strategy, and I’m still trying to work it out.
You see, this is the time of the month when all my expired market listings come back from VeVe, but now that things are changing, I’m still trying to work out how I want to approach relisting my items.
Do I want to sell my listed items for gems? Or do I want to list them for Omi?
Up until now, I’ve only occasionally listed collectibles in Omi. In fact, none of my StackR listings have sold to date. There’s a lot more market activity in the VeVe market than on StackR, and I’ve noticed that a lot of people are listing their items at a steep discount there. Maybe they’re betting that Omi’s gains will eventually compensate for the loss, and I guess that’s fine, but it’s not for me. I’d rather keep my collectibles than sell them at a disrespectful price.
When I sell something for gems, it’s less complicated because I don’t have to worry about whether the price will go up or down or what the chart looks like. Instead, I’m simply selling an item so that I can cover the price of a drop, or to pay for new uncommon comics.
Until OMI-to-Gems is implemented, the path is fairly straightforward; I need to sell my collectibles for gem liquidity first.
Once I can cover the basics, it’s time to experiment! What sells? What gets ignored? I’ve seen grails sell, but even if I had any grails to sell, I’d want to keep those sales to gems and avoid the tax reporting headache until I absolutely have to. I’d rather sell comics, but they don’t seem to sell unless they’re undervalued. It’s like having to learn the market system all over again!
It’s not that I’m hesitant about the changes in general. I really like the idea of building my Omi up for the long term.
But right now, I’m just dipping a toe into the water, because I really don’t know how things are going to play out. I’ll let the whales finish their belly-flops first so I don’t get caught up in a wave or an unexpected undertow. It’s an unfamiliar shore, so I’m going to be cautious, launching some test boats so I can see what floats and what doesn’t.
Fortunately, we still have plenty of time left to experiment. And since I know I personally need extra time to get my head wrapped around new ways of doing things, you can bet I’ll be spending it testing the waters.
