Nice to see old friends at this show.  Picked up a nice Batman #245 CGC 9.6 from Dale.

Dang Jeff, how many statues and busts do you have now? 50ish? 

About 40.  Too many!

Would you have to PROVE what you paid for it?  Otherwise everybody that sold that $2,000 book would say they originally bought it for $1800, and only pay capital gains tax on $200.  If I started selling my collection, I have no records of what I originally paid for anything.  

If you were audited, I assume you’d need to come up with some type of proof, yes.

prices are crazy these days but there is a caveat ...

say you sold a book on Ebay last year worth 1000 dollars and now it has doubled in price, but this year everyone is getting a IRS 1099 form so that $2000 you would have made this year minus the 28% capitol gains is now down to $1440 minus the headache of another tax form(s)

 

You don't pay capital gains on the sale price, you pay it on the profit.  So, unless you got that $2000 book for free, you wouldn't pay $560 in capital gains on it.

So I posted a WTB thread this morning looking for Batman 7, 14, and 15 and received the following PM:

Matthew  in  Missouri has a Golden Age Batman #7, 14, or 15 in CGC 8.0ish that he wants to part out for a cheaper price but because i'm not in the state right now, i couldn't purchase it from him maybe you should contact it and see if he still have it for sale.Here's his email mj6252708@gmail.com and 3253122191

Note that he didn't specify a particular issue, but copied and pasted part of my thread title.  I emailed Matthew, and he, too, copied and pasted the exact issues and condition from my thread title in his response.  I Googled his email address, and found multiple posts on various boards warning people off of this scammer. 

Beware!

My consolation price for missing out on the Promise Collection. Oh, and the new avatar is to celebrate the 456k sale of Riddler's first appearance.

 

 

Best 5.5 ever.

There are 22 copies in 9.8.  Rumor has it the print run was only about 200.

Oh yeah not even a question, would have bought the AS33 9.6 ped over this with ease!

Or a new car.

Two copies sold last year for 15K and 20K. 

Batman #1 sure has come a long way.  72K for a moderately restored 5.0.

PL 17 going bonkers.

I feel poor watching this live auction

I threw in a few bids.  Pretty sure Barry giggled at them.

Is Ben Bernanke bidding on these ?

Just the Archies.

Just now, october said:

$125k on Detective 124 was pretty surprising. 

And 156K for the #114.

456K for the Tec 140 9.6

204K for Cap 36 9.4.

Nice looking non-pedigree!

Sergio bought a nice key book from me and paid immediately.  A pleasure to do business with.

SOLD via PM.
