Showcase New England on Ebay

[grriii-migration]

Hey, what happened to Showcase New England on Ebay? Have they officially defected?

They seem to post auctions in "big batches". They are probably between batches.

I was thinking about this myself recently - their business model is large, Silver Age heavy 400 item auctions every two weeks, more or less without a break. It's been at least two months since their last auction (as far as I know).

 

Unless Dan and Co. are rebuilding their inventory....

Yeah, it seems strange. Just curious...moreso to find out if another seller has perhaps skipped ebay.

zillaf4 is back and has some nice stuff up for auction.

 

"THE ROCK COLLECTION. THIS COLLECTION CONTAINS 1000 + GOLDEN AGE AUCTIONS, 1100 SILVER AGE AUCTIONS, & 900 + DELL, GOLD KEY, CHARLTON & CLASSIC ILLUSTRATED. A LONG TIME COLLECTOR THAT PUT A LOT OF TIME AND EFFORT INTO HIS COLLECTION."

 

I wonder who the "LONG TIME COLLECTOR" is.

 

 

I'll be going for these:

 

LOT OF 64 GOLDEN AGE COMICS GOOD / POOR 1940s / 1950s

 

LOT OF 62 GOLDEN AGE COMICS GOOD / POOR 1940s / 1950s

 

LOT OF 43 GOLDEN AGE COMICS GOOD / POOR 1940s / 1950s

 

LOT OF 48 GOLDEN AGE COMICS GOOD / POOR 1940s / 1950s

 

LOT OF 106 GOLDEN AGE COMICS GOOD / POOR 1940s / 1950s

 

LOT OF 111 GOLDEN AGE COMICS GOOD / POOR 1940s / 1950s

 

LOT OF 85 GOLDEN AGE COMICS GOOD / POOR 1940s / 1950s

 

EDIT:

 

They replied to my email.

 

"we only give out that information if the collector says that its ok. what i can tell you is he is selling these books because his kids dont want them. the rest of the collection will be listed over the next 2 weekends. our schedule for the fall is listed with all of our auctions.

thanks

It's possible. SNE started doing the type of auctions they're known for way back - they've probably been constantly selling, more or less exclusively on ebay, for a decade. It'd represent no small sea-change if they left the bay...

I've been wanting to start this thread for weeks.

These lots scare me because it's good to poor - many could be missing pages, pieces, centerfolds, back covers. There's no details. As a matter of fact, I have 200 or so pre-1955 books that I put aside from the Northhampton collection which meet this description perfectly. They are all missing pieces or are in a conditionI considered unsaleable. If I can list these as good/poor and get $3 each I would be quite pleased.

 

There sure are some nice books in the lots, though. One of them has three Baker books in it.
