Ungraded, this comic sells for about $16.99 in Near Mint Condition. As a starting price for your comic, I would round up to $20 and add on the price of certification, which I assume is at at least $20 more. I would say price it at least $40 and let the market decide from there. EDIT: Just realized you payed $250 for it. You may want to put a reserve for that price on the auction to make sure it doesn't undersell.

Cost of living is insanely cheap in India. $2000 USD is roughly equal to 149,300 INR (not fancy living, but enough to be comfortable). Food, Labor, etc. are all fairly inexpensive -- its mostly property which is costly (or alternately, imported items like electronics due to taxes). When I visited back in 2003, an entire days's food (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner) only cost me 100 Rupees a day. On the flip side, when I visited the store, brand new Game Boy Color systems (which were already outdated by then, having been replaced with GBA) were being sold for 25,000 INR (roughly $350).

I agree with you -- I was just posting direct quotes from gold jacket guy before he died....lol

He's just following in the footsteps of this guy (RIP).. “Everybody knows me as the ‘gold man’ in the whole region. Other rich people spend one crore (10 million rupees) to buy Audis or Mercedes, to buy what they like. What crime have I done? I just love gold,” he said in 2013. “Gold has always been my passion since a young age. I’ve always worn gold as jewellery in the form of bracelets, rings, chains,” he added. He was murdered in 2013.
