Huh?
9.8 =/ 5.0
What's your point? Please give me an example of someone paying 1-400 times the going rate of an item outside of collecting comics, only because it's in very high grade?
Again...Huh?
Coins, Sports cards, cars, toys....nearly the ENTIRE universe of collecting literally anything. Unless you collect damaged things on purpose. That would be pretty fun.
So you can't provide a direct example, of something that sells for 400-800 times it's value in high grade in one of these fields?
Which one is the typo? The 1-400x or the 400-800x? Because that's a largggggge difference. 1-400 is so ridiculous you're being obtuse on purpose asking for specific examples. the 400-800x? No idea and don't really care to go searching. 800x might be specific to comics...you might be right but that wasn't the first thing you asked.
The larger point is buy what you want? I would NEVER pay those prices for a 9.8 of that but i'm also not totally shocked someone would.
People spend hundreds of dollars on a hamburger...why not some random, 2nd print comic from the 90s?
How am I being obtuse? Captain Crunch's book selling for $400-800 when NM ungraded copies are available (unsold) for $1 is being exact. I asked if you could give me a direct example, and you couldn't.
Am I misunderstanding the first question? if you're asking for a specific example of something that is selling for 1 (singularly. ONE.) to 400 times it's normal price, then yes, that's being obtuse. That's how I understood your first response. If you meant something else? Whoops.
I agree with you that it's a ridiculous price. But I'd be reallllllly excited to sell that to someone else.
