So was he selling the book or running an auction?
If his asking price was $350, then why in the world were people offering $450 and $500 for it?
And if it were the case that he got an offer from a collector for $500, and his asking price was now $500, why didn't he just complete his transaction for the $500 and be done with it?
Makes me wonder what he would have done if you would have said at $350.
He probably would have sold it. Finghé told me to buy it, but I just couldn't justify the price. Yeah, yeah, it *might* be worth a lot more, but I also might be taking a bath on it, and I'm not in buy mode for the collection.
You should have bought it.
Comic collector FAIL.
