jkrk Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 (edited) Since the participants in this thread seem to be the expert on the Showcase 22, I was wondering what my copy should sell for? I bought it fairly recently, and I clearly saw all the flaws. I'll probably list it for sale in the next few months and was wondering about pricing the issue.

showcase22gr1959 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 (edited) Realistically, that chip on the top right hurt the eye appeal. Right now the FMV for a 4.0 is around 1400-1600 and a 4.5 1600-1800. If that copy had better PQ....a bit more. This copy $1600-1700.

Boba Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Wow, things sure have changed since I sold a 4.5 undercopy for $2100. Well, at least the prices haven't fallen below pre-movie levels. It remains to be seen what the reboot and subsequent films from the DC camp can do for the brand. One wonders if this could be the beginnings of a DC "spring".

I bought it fairly recently, and I clearly saw all the flaws. I'll probably list it for sale in the next few months and was wondering about pricing the issue. Since this isn't a selling thread I have to speak out. This book was just purchased less than a month ago for 1255.00 . Based on it's eye appeal I can see why this sale was so low. The 1255 is now the last sale GPA. I think you if you put this up for sale in the near future, before another GPA sale, you will have a difficult time even getting your money back. It is not an attractive copy with the flaws smacking you right in the face. Sorry. Edited September 26, 2011 by bomber-bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

showcase22gr1959 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 (edited) The market does not value chipped copy as similar as non-chipped copy. Of course...overall eye appeal is important.
