Ummmmmmm.... that would be me.

 

I collect late 70's Batman 9.8s but could not resist a $1500 GPA book for $903. It will probably stay in my Batman collection until I can sell it for "GPA type money".

 

I was also the one that got the Batman #261 9.8 white page hundred pager for $605 (GPA $1000).

 

These 2 books will fit nicely in my collection at the right price.

 

 

 

 

savvy buys

Nice Billy. I figured the Geek Squad would start showing up with some wins sooner or later.

I bid on a few of the Hulk books, but prices soon became just insane. Defies logic.

 

I hear ya Joe...I didn't even bother bidding...those PC's all broke $1000.00 with the 103 9.6 going for over $2200.00

I can get a nice copy of the Hulk #110 for $350-400 all day long. No way was I paying 3X GPA averages for the privilege of it saying PC on the label.

I pretty much stick to pedigrees and I agree ...I'll pay a small premium, but nothing like the $$$ we saw there...

JUNK

I am going to bid on two books tonight.

 

This will be my first time bidding in C-Link auctions.

 

How close towards the end do you guys usually bid?

 

any advise would b emost helpful.

 

thanks,

[nik]

Final 20 seconds bid your max and cross your fingers

[NewWorldOrder]

thanks Nik!

 

 

It does seem like the C-Link auctions go for money that is way over GPA, which I dont understand because I am assuming that alot of these buyers are board members and have GPA.

Most of the boardies seem to striking out aside from or two mid graders here and there. No one's piped up with a big win.

I'm 0 for 6 and I consider myself a loose hand on the bid button

Sometimes its "how/where" an item is offered that can make a difference in the "willingness" of the buyer to go over market to obtain it. Perhaps Clink's Focused Auctions are now attracting "more" of the seriously wealthy "upper echelon" buyers that may not have GPA (because they bid what they want to) and/or may have it but can afford to bid whatever.

 

Consider that many of these buyers may be "used to" paying 20% ON TOP of their bids at Heritage in the past to acquire this kind of material. Without that "Extra Juice" on the back end, perhaps they are much more aggressive leading to sales that eclipse what they would have bid at Heritage knowing that there was 20% juice coming ... just a theory.

 

As for "Over GPA" Sales... much of what I tracked certainly has been so far... but there have been several surprising "Under GPA" deals reported thus far too... and that HOS 92 9.6 was a downright steal under $5K IMO... it could easily sell for $7-8K in the near future I think. I sold one for $7K privately 3-4 years ago and this new one one may be only 1 of 2 I've seen become available since. I think its another case of a book that has not been "traded enough" for its true market value to be established.
