It wasn't instant. I can't quote the thread now because of the lock. At 7:25 pm the seller posted there was 1 left, and Mark1 posted at 5:31 a.m., about 10 hours later.
This is true. However, when the seller responded to me he said the book was sold over the weekend. Which is impossible if he listed the book for sale at 7:25pm on Monday night.
I've calmed down since that incident. It's clear the guy has no idea how to sell here. Sure, he might have sold each copy of a hot book but let's see him try to sell that way with books that aren't the flavor of the month.
By the way, the Cap #6 comic (Variant or not) is plentiful in 9.8 (50 and 70 respectively) and i'm willing to bet more copies will be coming out of the woodwork with the popularity of the Winter Soldier movie. We aren't talking 4 digit production runs. More like 40,000-50,000 print runs.
It's a plentiful book. I picked the wrong time to buy but that's the story of my collecting life (most of the time). However, I did have TOS 50 (mandarin), 52 (Black Widow), 57 (Hawkeye) and 75 (1st agent sharon carter and Batroc) before all the movie hype. So, I'm doing okay on having the movie keys....
