What is insane to me is the 19.5% buyer's premium. I can see it being worthwhile on GA or "Highest Graded" books, but I just can't justify paying that high of a premium on pulps and SA/BA books that I know I will be able to pick up sooner or later elsehwere for a better price. Looking at the Weird Tales pulp auctions, there are a few reasonably priced lots right now but when I add the BP to them it does not make sense.

Kind of like an ashcan, the appeal of the Double Action is a bit limited. It's super, super cool, no question, but it's tough to drop $16.7k on a book for which there's not a guaranteed liquid resale market.

 

That all said, I was the underbidder. But based on the vague sense of relief I'm feeling now, I think it was good that I was outbid. Normally when I win things I'm 100% happy, not slightly torn.
