I don't feel like searching...where's the link?

He didn't even put the issue number in his title. I wonder how many search hits he's missing out on? Although, judging from the bidding, it doesn't seem to matter.

[comicinvestor-migration]

What a freak show; he doesn't put 158 in the title, then mis-spells Daredevel in the description.

 

This does illustrate a limitation with the search engine, as I used "Daredevil 158" for both Title and Description, yet got nothing back. I always thought it was an either/or kind of deal, but I guess not.

[Rickdogg]

This book would have less bids if he didn't have all of the other candy as well.

 

TOMB OF DRACULA #10 CGC 9.8 NM/MT

Incredible Hulk Annual #1 CGC 9.6 NM+

Green Lantern #86 CGC 9.8 NM/MT White Pages

X-Men #100 CGC 9.4 NM Off White - White Pages

X-Men #18 CGC 9.4 NM Off White Pages

Daredevil CGC 9.8 NM/MT White Pages

 

...that's bringing in the traffic.

[comicinvestor-migration]

On that note, is everyone of the mind that this seller is on the up and up? I think murph stated he'd sold the ToD 10 issue to him, but I can find no evidence of this??

 

Just seems like a whole lot of ultra-key stuff for a low-feedback seller who specializes in Bowen Busts?

[Bugaboo-migration]

Strange......I searched for daredevil 158 and got it to come up in my search but only when I did it for titles and descriptions. Not sure what happened with your search.

[comicinvestor-migration]

It's likely EBay's search engine screwing up again. I've noticed that sometimes I get more results when I refresh, and certain times nothing comes up.

 

I got to load up this time.

I don't care what book that is....that is an insane amount to pay for that book. I'm sure you could find some 9.4s to 9.8s kicking around non-cgced for a small fraction of the price...that's just out of hand.

[comicinvestor-migration]

Hey, we're in the last phase (CGC 9.8 Madness) right before the melt-down, so buckle in for a wild ride. If you've got some Bronze 9.8's sitting around, this is prime sucker time boyz.

[lighthouse]

CI, you may be correct that we are in the final stages... but I don't think this auction is all that meaningful of an example. Two 9.8 copies were sold within weeks of each other back in March 2002 and both sold around $900, with my OWW copy going for $915.00. Unless this auction goes around $1100 which I really don't see, not much has changed in the last 8 months...

I sold him the book about 4 months ago. I would love to bid on it now, but I think I'd have a little problem with buying back a book I sold him for 130 for over 500 dollars

Yo Murphy, you mean that's your TOD 10 cgc 9.8. I like your raw books. Why didn't you submit it for grading? Got anymore. People just don't believe the grading on raw books.

[Bugaboo-migration]

He cancelled this auction and relisted it with #158 in the title this time. Looks like somebody had already bid $1,000 on this copy before he cancelled it though. The possibility that it would have hit that $1,100 mark lighthouse seems pretty real.

The possibility that it would have hit that $1,100 mark lighthouse seems pretty real.

 

You say this like there was any doubt this book would exceed $915. Oh ye of little faith.

[lighthouse]

I am well aware he relisted... since I started a new thread about that less than two minutes after he did so...

 

We'll see what kind of bids he gets this time... now that everyone knows he's willing to cancel an auction when he thinks it's in his best interest...

[Bugaboo-migration]

I know.......just wasn't sure why we needed a whole new thread for it.

[lighthouse]

Well this thread seemed more about the book and its valuation in the market... I started another thread specifically to address the fact that the seller is a jerk who relisted the book well into the auction in violation of eBay policies because he was worried he wouldn't get enough money for it, and therefore demonstrated that he does not see an open auction that has met reserve as a covenant to sell...

 

We on this forum have little patience for sellers who act in bad faith...

 

Hence the second thread...

 

But in response to this thread, yes it is clear that bidding would have exceeded $1000 on the book during its previous run. It will be interesting to see how the 'flaky seller' status affects the sales total... but in a vacuum I am a firm believer this is a $900-1000 book...

[Bugaboo-migration]

But is the Comic Book market, and particularly the CGC market, a vacucum or is it a living, evolving entity that experiences growing pains? I believe it is the latter.
