Yes.  Someone got a great book.

I was clicking the cart, and nothing was happening...lol.  Next time, I'll be quicker.

 

To nab a book that quick, you'd either have to get lucky... or else you literally have no life and are constantly refreshing the MCS listings.

 

 

 

 

 

...Or maybe just a bit of both.  :banana:

Timing. 

I had been away and unavailable all day. 

Just happened to log on and check MCS, someone else was lucky last evening. 

I'll have another opportunity at another great book, as will we all.

Absolutely. Ryan crushed it last week with that Suspense Comics #8 deal! There's a sweet book out there with your name on it.  (thumbsu

All about luck in timing. I'm still upset about not being fast enough to check out on an Albedo 1 for $6 last year. But I've also gotten some sweet scores, as mentioned, so I can't be too bummed.

Yes sir. It's such a great feeling searching and finding that book, AND being the first to claim it.

I've found tough bakers locally, when purchasing small lots.  One in a very small collection from the original owner.  I bought 21 books from him, a few coverless, and a cigar box for $105.  Amazing what is still out there.  I need to employ a hair trigger at sites like MCS in order to be a player for books that I desire instead of relying on timing and luck.

I'm sure it's automated, but I checked a particular book to see how many folks are on the WTB list.. 195, with 16 added in the last six months.  That seemed like a lot.  So I checked Hulk 181 WTB list.... 1583 with 50 added in the last six months.  It has to be automated.
