Latest additions...

I've been wanting to add some X-men comics to my #94-#143 set so I did a little research to see what they've been selling for the past few months. This gave me a good idea of what I was willing to pay for the books (i.e. just over the lowest selling price). I'm not getting in a bidding war because there are plenty of these books out there and I'm comfortable with placing a minimum bid of what I think they're worth.

Someone was selling a nice collection of these on eBay last month so I bid on a handful of them...and was outbid on all of them. No biggie, I knew the ComicLink auction coming up, I'll bid on those. The ComicLink auction was ending yesterday so I decided to bid on 12 of the issues I wanted for my collection thinking I may end up winning 1 or 2 which would be great. Well, apparently the bidders were sleeping on that auction because I ended up winning 5 books! I have mixed feelings about this...I'm happy to have these books and the price was great, but it's still a lot of money (for me) to spend at once. Can you imagine if I had won all 12 auctions?!? OK, lesson learned, be careful what you bid on, you just might win it. I've said it before, but now I mean it, no more bids for me this year (fingers crossed)!

I'll add these to my collection with pics and descriptions when they come in (also looking forward to that bump up in the standings).

Til next time...
