Sqeggs Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 We've seen enough of these that I no longer consider it a tough issue: I still think it's kind of tough. I've been looking around for a copy. I finally popped for Riche Muchin's copy with ... you guessed it, the always popular "archival tear seals." Gotta love those tear seals... hopefully you negotiated on the price... With Richie, it's a must! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RICK STARR Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 More 6th st books, tonight... priced to never sell. OMG, a shame really. Nice books, but nothing to knock your socks off. No business from me on these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No business from me on these. I think part of the problem is that he doesn't know which ones are the fan favorites, and which ones are just luke warm. Look at how he priced the TAT 2 and TLP 11.. then look at the prices on these ones tonight. His pricing seems to be based solely on grade and page quality. But we true fans know which ones are hot, and which ones are not, which ones hardly ever turn up on the market, and which ones do so fairly often.

Tri-Color Brian Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 He's obviously not reading this thread or he would know...but maybe he doesn't care...because not all Baker fans are on this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29dukedog Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 To his credit, he knew well enough to make the Teen-Age Romances 9 a standard auction, as opposed to a BIN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tri-Color Brian Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) Yeah, when i clicked on that $9.99 starting price the bid suddenly changed to $227. I still can't believe people start that stuff so early in the auction. What is the point of driving the bids up with 6 days left to go...Un-believable...what a bunch of *spoon*, *spoon*, *spoon* insufficiently_thoughtful_person...the *spoony* *spooners* Edited February 24, 2014 by tricolorbrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29dukedog Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 To his credit, he knew well enough to make the Teen-Age Romances 9 a standard auction, as opposed to a BIN. But I hasten to add, I'll bet a million dollars he had more than one collector trying to get him to sell the TAR 9 privately.

29dukedog Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I'm sure they know who they are... (BTW, he did mention he had a TAR 9, right here in this thread, a couple of weeks ago.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tri-Color Brian Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Yeah, but since it isn't high on my list (if it's on there at all...the list seems to have gotten buried) I didn't pay much attention or remember that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just meant, that's how it would've become known to collectors. I didn't mean you, personally.

Dr. Love Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Two Canteens, #1 & #3, just went for decent (for the seller!) prices on the Bay. No back cover scans didn't seem to slow the crowd down. Are congrats owed to any of the usual suspects? or are you all Canteened out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
