I'm going to regret this but my X-Men #11 in on ebay with a low reserve.

I thought what the heck throw caution to the wind and listed the X-Men #11 Curator that I wasn't even going to sell on ebay with a low reserve. I figure if someone hits the reserve right away that it will encourage more bidding. I hope this doesn't come back to bite me on the butt.

Since you got it for a decent price, not sure how it could bite you on the butt

[ericc123]

James you have a very good point and my reserve is right in line with what I paid for it but I'm worried that it's worth alot more than my reserve and someone is going to get a steal for less than it's worth and I'm just going to break even. I may have picked a bad time listing it being right after Christmas and all.

Interesting book, its already pretty much at NM guide, however it is the Curator copy and the quality of those books is well well established. I am very happy with my VF 11, on the other hand if a #4 was thrown up that's a different story all together.

Just a suggestion, Eric. I don't necessarily need to see the whole CGC label. Seeing the bottom of the book is more important to me.

There are 3 pics in the auction, with the other two being full-shots of the front and back cover.

oh he he he.. stupid i am! Good luck with your auction!

 

I REALLY appreciate when people have scans of the front and back.

Was watching this at the end.....FF gave it a bump and it finished at $518.00. Congrats on a nice auction Eric!

[fantastic_four]

...YOU'RE WELCOME! For that extra $80 at the end there, that is. I would've bid more but all these FFs hitting the market lately have tapped me out.

[Red Hook]

Nice job, FF! I think Eric should stand you a couple of rounds at the bar!

[fantastic_four]

He paid $429 for the book, so he made about 20% profit over a time span of about 13 months. Not too shabby.

[Red Hook]

But does that include the Ebay listing fees and the shipping he had to pay assuming he had the book shipped to him when he bought it? Might knock down the % a bit. Still good though.

I'm glad he sold it for all he could but I will never understand why anybody would want to pay that much for a 9.0 book. I have been collecting high grade X-men for a while and I know that X-men 11 in 9.0 is a $350- $400 book, there are plenty of them floating around ( graded and ungraded - hell there are more graded 9.2's and 9.4's then 9.0's.) Again, I do not chide anyone for selling the books for as much as they can get for them but I just find it unbelieveable would spend that much( pedigree or not.)
