Actually thought it was a conservative response.  I think Bats 189 or one of the FF 48s went through an entire page.

The only sensible thing is to tear it in half and give each a piece.  I read that somewhere once

"Honey, it's like shoes.  You just can't have enough of them."

And thus dropeth the other shoe.

Bought a couple of well-priced, well-graded SA, receiving them quickly and with mauler-proof packing.  Thanks again!

Nothing I hate more than watching an online auction where all reason and market knowledge has gone out the window... or the person bidding has forgotten the buyer's premium that will be added.

I've just watched some ...body.... bid 1200$ for a Spidey 129 in 7.5 with Cream/OW pages. And the buyer's premium is a whopping 25% on top of that = $1500.

Many of the lots are going for full GPA, before the commission. The rest w/commission are hitting full or just under GPA. Good job by the seller.

The Heritage Auctions also charge a hefty 20% Buyer's Premium.  Add to that a Seller's  Fee and they seem to make out alright.

All the S.H.I.E.L.D books per PM.

A company called Git Corp scanned entire runs of all the SA (and a little further) Spider Man, FF/Silver Surfer, Avengers, X-Men, Captain America and other titles, including annuals.  They were somewhat reasonable when I bought them but are now on the secondary market for considerably more when last I checked.

I like to see the prices as a matter of gauging realistic numbers on books, both for selling and buying.  It's not a stretch to say that the buyers/sellers on these boards are more knowledgeable than the average bear and will generally not buy/sell at, say, the outlandish prices posted on feeBay.  Being more a casual buyer than making it my business, I don't think it merits (in my case) paying for GPA numbers, so I use items sold prices on feeBay and the prices paid here as a guide to my offers on the "buy it now" options or to make educated, non-insulting offers to boardies.  I only use the sold prices here that I can see, since I'm also in the camp that when something sells via PM it might have gone for a lower cost.

That said, sellers can run their postings any way they want as I realize it's already a time-consuming effort to picture/scan, post, accurately describe, pack, mail, etc. to check if PM or "take it now" prices are/are not available to readers.

^&%$@%^!!&* Missed the Frank Frazetta "Famous Funnies" due to a dinner engagement!  Hope the party responsible for dinner enforcement chokes on their risotto.   

Yep, I'm old.  I remember sending away for them and marveling that I could now take them out of the several small 45 RPM mini suitcase-like transport boxes (even had handles - comics fit great) and have them individually protected.  The 45s I'd just lean against a wall somewhere.  (What are 45s you ask?  Well, let me tell you sonny...)

Take #113

ASM #62 and SHIELD #5 per PM.

Great communication!  Bought a couple of books that were promptly shipped and well-packed.  Would deal with again!

Great communication, immediate shipping and in receipt of a well-packed purchase safely.  Would deal with again and thanks!
