Sanj Mitra Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Danny, Too be honest I did not watch it the last three hours cause I ASSumed it would go to $30,000 and out of my price range. So I closed my laptop and walked away cause I really wanted that book so I couldn't bare to watch it. When I opened it after auctions end, I thought it was a glitch and refreshed it.....three times when I put it together, I was so angry and upset I said things that would make a dirty pirate hooker blush. I have been upset at losing out on books before (quite a few, like anybody) but not mad like this one, since it was my own stupid doing. I finally am cooled down and if I would have kept bidding over Sanj Mitra, than who knows I and the winner might have made it go over the $30,000. At least that is what I tell myself. I f***ked up - plain and simple. The buyer is a lucky person imho, fantastic job and book - hats off. Believe me, I am feeling just as torn as you. My bid was good until the last couple of minutes and I had the option to keep going and opted not to much as I wanted to. I also figured I would have had to drop a further $2-3k to have a shot to win which was not comfortable for me. Just hope the winner is a boardie.

cyberjad Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Keep in mind that Gobbledygook has no paperwork. Makes the book a hard sell in my mind. I would expect to buy it at a significant discount from a documented copy...if I was to buy an undocumented copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT, I'm truly sorry for you too though!! It's a jagged pill to swallow with this book. Just like you, I hope it went to Boardie, who holds onto it.

That was my first reaction when I saw the pictures. Although the Eastman variant looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco685 Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 !!

Icculus308win Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Yeah.....I saw that when Adam posted someone took his place. But does anybody know who "V" is? He or she is a Boardie, which is a good start. But anyone know anything else? It would be nice to know if they really like the Turtles or just had some extra coin to burn and wanted a 9.8.

Just because you have a CGC registry set doesn't mean that you're a board member (and there's no user by that name registered on the boards) :shrug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icculus308win Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 You're right Adam, I misspoke. At least they Register books is what I meant and they might be on the Boards. But yes, this does not constitute them as an Elite CGC "Boardie." (not many people have what it takes. Many ring the bell on the second day. !!) Maybe they go by something else on the Boards? More than likely they they aren't on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its true that it could have gone for 30K or even more....or you could got it at $23,000 even... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
