Shill didn't win, but it sure did its damage.

 

In the end, it appears it was three solid bidders.

I saw no feedback was left by either party too, not mentioning the seller hasn't left one since May of 2009. If I buy a $600 book, the seller is going to leave me a feedback.

The Crow 1 CGC 9.6 auction is ending soon.

 

1) Will the infamous 0 bidder take it again like he/she/it did with the Crow 1 CGC 9.8?

 

2) Will eBay even investigate the 0 bidder who has won three items from the same seller, yet neither has ever left feedback for each other?

 

3) Will we see both books in a Heritage, ComicLink, or other sales venue as a "flip" sale?

 

These are the days of our collecting lives.

 

Distraction you say... .

 

You bad man.

But, I have a heart of gold too .

Distraction you say... .

 

You bad man.

Can't help it, I'm from New Hampshire .

 

There are these 4 guys driving in a car together, 1 from Maine, 1 from Vermont, 1 from Massachusetts, and 1 from New Hampshire.

 

Down the road a bit, the man from Maine starts throwing bags of potatoes out the car window. The man from NH asks what are you doing that for? The man from Maine says, "We have so many potatoes just lying around our state and I'm just sick and tired of seeing these things."

 

Down the road a bit more, the man from Vermont starts throwing jugs of maple syrup out the car window. The man from NH asks what are you doing that for, and the man from Vermont says, "We have so many of these jugs just lying around our state and I'm just sick and tired of seeing these things."

 

And moments later, you guessed it...

 

The man from New Hampshire throws the man from Massachusetts out of the window.

That was too funny!

Volume 3 - Shaping up to be my favorite. The water cavern issue was great.

 

I finally just read issue #2 of "Crown of Shadows" and I agree with you Pat, this issue was fantastic!

 

Wow, I'm really excited for #3 now!

Mark my words, this will be a sought after Modern in time. Start hoarding now!

 

I'll take one of those cast-away 9.9's off your hands

With a print run of a little over 7K, this is the first book since #3's Welcome to Lovecraft to be that low. It's no wonder there wasn't a lot of these around.

He probably made them, what a fanboy

Just you wait, I'm going to get the "Fanboy of the Year Award" here.

, You can get find them here, http://www2.gr.cl/ .

How would one go about prying some of those extra copies out of your hands?

Should have just PM'ed me on the boards - would have given you a non-ebay discount

 

Should have told potential buyers when you posted the picture this book was for sale. So I blame the seller.

 

True dat. It was one of those "hey, let's just dump this on ebay for fun & giggles" sort of things - was surprised it sold so fast.

Someone's trying to protect her top spot in the registry, and is willing to throw any dollars she can at high-grade books. You benefitted in a big way.

 

Too bad other eBay sellers of 9.8's wouldn't learn a lesson from this .

Hey, he has his jewelry to sell. Stop distracting him and his shill.

Finished book 2 last night. Going to start book 3 this weekend.

 

I want the headkey!

I have discussed this on other boards, but I figured I would add this to this thread.

 

I consider Spider-Man Unlimited #8 an important Locke & Key prototype issue. You can see various things Joe Hill tried in this issue a few years before the Locke & Key series. He considers this issue a failure in writing, I say it showed promise.

 

Characters puking from high up .

 

Spider-Man Unlimited #8:

Locke & Key #3:

 

Characters sporting the "punk" look(piercings, spikey hair, etc.) .

 

Spider-Man Unlimited #8:

Locke & Key #3:

 

Characters referencing about how their butts were saved at the last minute .

 

Spider-Man Unlimited #8:

Locke & Key #6:

 

Whole comic book pages devoted to action and sound effects .

 

Spider-Man Unlimited #8:

Locke & Key #1:

 

I believe this should be an important book to every Locke & Key owner's set.

Despite being disowned by Mr. Hill .

Some history of the keys found so far...

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just finished Walking Dead # 69

 

Wow, great issue, including:

Well, every LCS I went to was sold out of them today . I need one fast! Hello, Horizon Comics .

I also had taught her on how helping the other set owners is more important and winning isn't everything .

Oh, can I help you with her book search?

 

Thank god, this was a four issue miniseries. I couldn't imagine trying to find these books if there was twenty+ of them. Besides her upgrades, the book she has her heart dead set on is a Deadworld #10. I think this it is fun to help a friend like this, because I'm all caught up with my title.

I was considering starting to put a little stash of money away for whenever another 9.8 comes up for sale. Maybe I should list my 9.6 #1 and see how much more money it would bring then his.

I'll be your shill.

 

That CGC Crow book that sold today is how you sell a Crow on eBay. Totally professional .

WHAT?!

 

Oh, Michael's "A Caliber Christmas."

 

Mine came from Michael's stock, too. I like this one better than mine, though, because of the red sig. Congrats!!

Thank you. The red pen was a factor too.

It's one Jen wanted bad after seeing it here on these boards. I was left with careful instructions... "GET THE *SPOON* BOOK!!!"

Did you give careful instructions back?

I can't shill, I was under orders to buy another book today .

Wow! She is a Task Mistress.

 

She put a certain amount in my paypal in case Michael's book should pop up here or there. She does that with each book. I keep the rest for that book .

 

Where's TJ's for sale thread, .

 

It's gonna be hard to let it go when she comes to pick it up .
