Or How long it takes to lose a bid.

I placed a bid on a Daredevil #1, the bid was one of those low ball bids that I know that would never capture to book I wanted. In fact it was so low it was ludicrous. I would have a better chance if winning a multi-million dollar power ball lottery. It took thirty minutes for me to be out bid. I can only wonder why it took so long.

I placed one other bid on another book. This time more reasonable. The holidays are over and the ECCC is coming up and my childlike giddiness is escalating. I sold an item on eBay and this helps me in a few ways. One if course it gives me the extra cash to utilize in different ways. I'll save a third, another third to finish paying off my father, and the last third to help pay what I want to take too ECCC for the CGC signature series.

However, I have behaved so far and there is only one thing that I really want, but I'm willing to wait. I finally counted the books I purchased and started to place them in eBay, this will go towards my savings account and once I finish paying myself back then I'll put all extra toward CGC. I promised myself that I could keep five books. Do far they are a double cover Marvel Team-Up issue #100. I think this will grade at a 9.4. The other book I am allowing myself to keep is Amazing Spider-Man 238, this might also get a 9.4.

And to answer the question people had earlier, I paid .23 cents a book.

Thanks for Reading
