Greatest Lantern Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Did anyone bid on a TMNT #35 on eBay last night? It was at $30 with less than a minute remaining and ending up selling for $250 CDN. Rare book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybuck43 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 There are 7 blue 9.8's and 5 yellow 9.8's. They don't come up too often (last time one sold in public was 2013) but yea a crazy high price. Previous sales were 30-50 bucks. I guess two people just REALLY wanted the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get it. My gut reaction tells me it's price manipulation, but I've got nothing to back that up. Mysterious. If it is legitimate, congrats to the buyer!

If you look at the full bid data (including automatic bids) it doesn't look like price manipulation. 441 (the winner) and 41 went at it in "large" increments (10+ dollars at a time) in terms of auto bids near the end. Usually a shiller slow walks the price up in small amounts (a dollar or two at a time) My gut tells me two people who wanted a 9.8 bid really hard at it.

I agree...it definitely doesn't look like typical shill bidding. I just can't wrap my mind around why this particular issue (though part of a great story with incredible art) would have jumped so high in price all of a sudden. Almost makes me want to list my copies. Almost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybuck43 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Maybe they saw the GPA data for the Sig Series 9.8 and got confused? Yea I don't get either why this sold so high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted it, realized I was getting outbid, and went my max max (196 and didn't think it was going to go that high) and somehow still lost. Quite honestly I'm surprised how much it went for I figured 100 tops. in a fit of sadness I then bought the 8.5 Raphael.
