Thor Odinson-1970 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Hopefully joining this club shortly...love looking all the copies. Brother can't wait to see your book. I know which copy it is (Hint: CGC 4.5 OW-W). I was the underbidder for it! The Iceman outbid me by a whisker! I wonder how much more I would have had to bid for it to have made a difference, since I have no clue as to what his maximum bid was. Lord knows how long I'll have to wait for another such opportunity to come along because that was just about the best 4.5 copy around within my price range (or at least for what I'm willing to pay for this issue). From what I've seen going around, anything 5.0+ goes far beyond that in price. Chances are I might have to settle for a lower grade with Cr-OW pages. Oh well. Although I could post the book here, I'll do the honourable thing and let Iceman do the honours when he's ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen your copy BTW. Congrats! I'm also well aware of what you paid for yours. Anyway, to answer your question, the closing/winning bid was..... $1,978.55 !!! (This was on eBay from last Sun. Aug.21st). Although your copy has that stamp on the front cover, it's better-centered. So it's comparable with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor Odinson-1970 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Hey, no hard feelings, and congrats! I should've been more aggressive in my bid given the OW/W PQ, and have known better that this book's popularity is independent of any "after-movie hype" (Looking at the latest box office figures, GL is still a money-loser globally, let alone domestically). Anyway, I'm glad to know that a fellow Canuck won this. It's a bummer though how our loonie has fallen in the currency exchange rate against the greenback in just the last few weeks from it's four-year high, eh? As for the cross-boarder fees. If you've ever bought online from U.S./ overseas sellers before, be aware that whatever dollar value is declared on the Customs Declaration Form, you'll have to pay the 5% federal GST plus the postal handling fee (lately $8.50 per parcel, not per item).

Iceman399 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Ya most of my books haven't been taxed yet...only 1 out of all my orders which in the last year. So hopefully this one manages to slip through undetected like most of my others. Ya its such a key that it won't matter about the movie...hopefully this will serve as a good investment.
