Certainly acting hostile.

Hostile sellers in the community are the community’s business.

Yes.

Hostile seller. https://www.cgccomics.com/boards/topic/466753-professor-chaos-so-unprofessional/

OP need to post something like this, “I am nominating Professor Chaos for the probation list.” It’s been done before for sellers pulling this kind of stunt.

I doubt that I will capture any more data from the current ComicLink auction. Here are captured results through last night. The remaining night of comics lots includes "assorted." There are always some keys and such there, usually lower grade copies of ones offered on the preceding days, but it's mostly less desirable stuff. Here are some observations and thoughts after watching this. This is obviously a very limited dataset. It's not the complete auction. It's only one auction. It's an auction during a period of high economic uncertainty. And the data I captured was loosely defined. I looked for frequently traded books, only blue label books, high dollar books, and books generally accepted as keys or having some other collector significance. Since I was using GoCollect for a FMV comparison, I did not capture results from the Golden Age nights since GoCo seldom has a FMV determination for these comics. I watched most of these results live, and the folks who complain about sniping on CLink have reason to complain. Almost all of them had bids in the closing seconds. For high quantity books (think a book where you'll see a 9.8, 9.6, 9.4, and possibly additional lower grade copies for sale), the bargains were often on the 9.4. I am defining bargain here as the copy that was percentage-wise the most below GoCollect's FMV. The average % change was about -12%. That number was very consistent throughout. Only last night did it actually drop under 12%, to 11.88%. Prices seemed obviously depressed but not bottomed out. Of the 331 lots, 61 hammered at or above FMV.

A delightful thread, really.

The nice thing about october's threads is that even the books that don't sell instantly will sell before the thread is done; if you wait long enough, someone will save you hundreds of dollars by buying the book you keep going back to and looking at. I'm up $500 so far!

68-78 Marvel Masterworks, Daredevil, vol. 1., issues 1-11

School book fairs get graphic novels. DC especially works this angle.

I will take the strange adventures 110. Thanks!

What are you guys threadcarpping abou....ooooohhhhh.

Shutdown, unplugged, then rebooted.

Well, those who submitted to this particular CLink auction could not have predicted this. More broadly, there's no shortage of comic collectors with not enough savings, a poor retirement portfolio, and lots of comics. Those who need the cash will sell, and the vultures will come to collect their due.

As someone who works in technology, there's no explanation so valuable as "user error".

Different prints, different covers, both Francavilla though. I think I'm good for both.

I'll take this. This isn't a copy B is it? I don't think this is one of the two I grabbed earlier.

And we're off! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/14jkkDxV_f3dn0-2hUcW5zY2UX59Tmxih2sB2O6DKl_A/edit#gid=0

This is what I'm dealing with while I work from home. Patience is in short supply.

Can we threadcarp this all the way to the third page? We've got work to do, boys.

Geesh. This one kinda sucks, huh?

You're looking for bargain stocks. We're looking for bargain comics. Got any bargains?
