two examples that i overpaid on

i have been reviewing my purchase over the past few years on comiclink versus my buys at worldwide comics, ebay, mile high comics etc. In sept of '09 i purchased an ASM #300 CGC 9.8 of course for $600 dollars. Since then i have seen plenty of copies available for 400-500. And understand that two years has passed.

The other ASM i overpaid for is #252 cgc 9.8 for $300. No i see lots of issues at that price of $50 bucks less. I think that these auctions at least for me cause me to bid up the prices, because "i really got have this book" and the desire to win the auction.

Oh and this doesnt even include the price of shipping handling or fee to comiclink. I think i am done with the auctions site for a while.

I would love to hear from other collectors. Understand i am a long term collector and wont be selling these anytime soon, but i HATE overpaying.
