  1. I imagine the smell causes quite the distrubance in the board room.
  2. Seems like a big number, could be dead on for all I know. How did you come to that total? The Super Duper Computer!!!! You absolutely know what that is!!! FYI, Ethan loves Super Why!

  4. You and about 8 others. I'm quite pleased that no one bought it. Had some tire kickers at $4k but I wasn't fishing for offers. I'm looking for a 29 and 30 in CGC 6.0 OW or better if anyone reading this has them. I need companions too!
  5. I must be getting one hell of a deal then Bravo! Mine too bud! Mine three! now sell me yours I've actually pulled it from eBay and have decided to keep it for a while. Unless prices get crazy, it won't be sold. You can ship it with the other books I got from you ps send me an invoice whenever Start holding your breath...and when the package arrives, breath again and see what's in the box

  7. Doesn't seem unreasonable....assuming the PQ was OW or better.
  8. I find myself honored to be in great company...well, maybe not Roy I was wondering if you'd read that

  11. Nope...would take too long for the small compensation I'd be offered. Now I'm not a big dealer mind you, but I wouldn't do it... Call me lazy...say I abuse the system...whatever. I would actually agree that I'm lazy and have better things to do... It's unfair for the marketplace to rely on dealers to help them make informed decisions. Look at Wall Street....its not the analysts, market makers, researchers, etc...job to put the information out there so others can profit from it. They do it for themselves and their clients/firms. Same thing applies here....like Rick said, do the homework and you'll be fine...
  12. First let me state that the following comment is not directed at Joey or anyone in particular for that matter, but a question to the Dealers on this thread in general. I think it is interesting to see comments from Dealers on what is wrong with GPA, but in the same breath (sometimes in separate threads) explain that they don't report their sales. Help me understand why you (i.e. the Dealers out there) wouldn't want to report your private sales to GPA? Logic seems to to state that participating properly would better reflect market dynamics and adjust future purchases accordingly. To sum it up quite nicely: knowledge is power. Frankly, it's not anyone's business what I or any other dealer sell their books for. If they're sold in a public forum/marketplace, then that info is free. George got smart and said " I'll comprise all this public sales data, put it in a user-friendly database and market it." Voila! GPA is born! For the record, I have no problems with GPA, nor do I feel it's "wrong." It may be off on certain books but it's a seller's responsibility to know that. If they do not, the market will take advantage of their mispricings. Pretty simple really... Furthermore, why not? Is that not a sale between two parties? Does being a dealer give someone an exemption to not reporting? Can't have your cake and eat it too....
  13. The CC results certainly doesn't hurt the desirability of the book. And yeah, I bumped mine up...but that doesn't mean anything honestly. It only matters when it finally sells. And maybe they are underpriced. Not sure at the moment but I wasn't going to let one fly off the shelf at $5500 or so while I slept on it. The book is finally getting some well deserved love. While I'm a bit shocked at the price the 8.5 achieved tonight on CC, it tells me a few things. 1) at least two people were willing to pay $40k for the book 2) C/OW doesn't deter people from bidding big $$ on this book 3) there's rabid demand for this issue 4) I wasn't the winner Will be interesting to see what happens over the weekend with the new Sup's movie opening. It's by far my most anticipated super hero movie this year and I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt that I'm not a Superman fan. However, this film may change my mind.... I get chills when I see the trailer.
  14. cc said he bid 2500+ 19.5 bp...so sounds like 2988 Correct...it sold for right under $3k. I really didn't want to push it up that high but got caught up bidding. Luckily someone else thought it was worth it too. I think $3k is a very strong price for this book in 5.0. Poor Brock - always a bridesmaid, never a bride Happily a bridesmaid in this situation. And honestly, I figured it was you I was bidding up

  16. I pushed it up to $2500 (before the BP) and I believe the winner had a $2500 bid in before mine..so it defaulted to him (or her).
  17. Probably...I hear GPA can be quite grumpy if it wakes up too early in the morn. While I use GPA and it's a nice resource, it doesn't ultimately determine what I try to sell a book for. And it can be manipulated (to a degree)
  18. 6.5's have sold for more (thumbs u Maybe, but they're not on GPA GPA isn't the bible...and can be a very poor way to measure a book's value My
  19. 6.5's have sold for more (thumbs u I know a 6.0 that's going to sell for more than it's GPA high
  20. I have two copies of this book but would love to add a 6.0 to 7.0 ow or better. I hate I missed the 6.5 this am
  21. Not really shedding any tears for a man dropping Sup 1's and Sensation 1's in a FS thead Save your tears for someone who truly needs them. BTW, you've got a PM
