Boba Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 Well the 8.0 sold for 23,101.00. Rats. No I did not bid on it. Strong price. I was a "playa" until about the midway point, then I stepped aside and let the folks with the budget for this book do their thing unfettered by wanna-be's. It's really starting to look like that Savannah 6.0 was a bit of a deal. I dropped out of that game because I figured it'd go too high for the grade (being a popular new ped). But seeing what this 8.0 went for (almost triple what the 6.0 Savannah sold for) maybe that was my best shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have mention somewhere in the club that the FMV of a 6.0 is around $7-8K, perhaps a bit higher now. Yeah, the Savannah would done well for you. , but there will be another.

Flash105 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Ebay is so nice- "Hi Jack, We're sorry you didn't win this time around. While this one got away, there's other stuff to find. Don't give up." Damn them- when are they going to list the next one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masamune69 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 2800.00 seems like a big gamble. As long as it isn't restored, it shouldn't be much of a gamble That price is what 3.5s have been selling for I agree (thumbs u 2800.00 seems like a big gamble. As long as it isn't restored, it shouldn't be much of a gamble That price is what 3.5s have been selling for Last month, in comic link, Two 4.5 sold for around 2800$ Finally it was a great deal. It got 5.5 http://www.comiclink.com/itemdetail.asp?id=884195 . . . and if I recall correctly, they sold pretty quickly. I think there might have been more money to be made if those had been around longer. If there's no restoration on that SC #4, it looks like a 3.5 at least. possibly a 4.0 if the spine is better than it appears in the photos. They are a little blurry to be sure. But IMHO it's possible both buyer and seller did ok @ $2800. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash105 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I think most of the Showcase 4 on ebay have been good buys. The 7.5 and 8.0 both sold for good prices. Ebay is such a pain to search. You would think they would make dedicated search field for comics i.e. title, publishier, issue number, year, cgc, grade, and comments (artist, first appearance, etc). If you have 1-1.5 million listings that to me seems like something worth fighting for. They have not, hence a lot of their business is bleeding off to other sites. Heritage is not much better. I have a wantlist alert for showcase 4 and I get an email every two weeks telling me my item is available. Unfortunately, it is a Showcase 40 and their stupid search engine doesn't know the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boba Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 Go for the 9.2...problem solved. Good advice Indeed (thumbs u I agree with Flash105. I don't know why ebay is ignoring the comic guys, when they make an ungodly amount of money from us. I have the same problem with Heritage searches, I get want-list alerts for the same books emailed to me a dozen times prior to the event auction they're in. Sadly, as a result I put them on "ignore" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boba Posted April 26, 2011 Author Share Posted April 26, 2011 It does. My 4.0 (1st page & post of this thread) has less creases and wear, but perhaps the LT pages kept if from going higher. I'd like to upgrade to a 5.0 someday, so I'm just a spectator on this one. Any predictions on the closing price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
