But it's an auction that runs another week right? Those are just opening bids.

To me doesnt look too well know of an auction site like ebay and stuff :shrug: dont know how much exposure this gets... Maybe Chandler should just buy out all the junk ...

They set up in SD every year. Torpedo Comics is owned and run by John Dolmayan of System of a Down fame.

It does'nt surprise me,John was very aggressive with his prices on his books.

[ComicsAndCode]

I guess it's not conclusive whether or not Torpedo is out of the game, but sure looks like it...Not long ago, I recall a whole lot of hype over the launch of their website, which is sub-optimal at best and never revamped since.

My 2 cents. Someone who bought a bunch of bulk, thought he could get $1.00 per book on run of the mill drek. Found out building a web site, sorting comics, grading comics, paying overhead of a warehouse, overhead of warehouse staff, customer service, was greater than the cost of the books, never turned a profit, now it all must go....

I think John made/makes his money on higher-priced books than quarter-bin fodder. He picked up that Action #1 last year for 316K for one of his clients.

No, I think John makes his money being a ROCK STAR
