G.A.tor Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 What do you think the Tec #27 CGC 1.5 OW/W that sold in 5/09 for $83,650 would sell for today? That seems like a steal now. Do you think the buyer could double their money now? That book has traded hands a few times since that auction at considerably higher prices than it sold for @ Heritage. Since they were private sales, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say how much it sold for so I will leave that decision to others. I can say the book has sold in the 6fig + range very recently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

royig-migration Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 But Rick - these sales: the trimmed 7.0, your former 8.5 + the 4.5 ext as well as the 4.0 universal; they are hardly the only copies sold and bought?. Surely there have been a number of other copies which have changes hands during the timeperiode mentioned here. Alone Heritage havent they sold quite a few Tec27-PLODs over the years? I just dont understand why exactly these sales mentioned here should be taken as "incredible bargains". Havent "many" plods gone for the current price range over the years? I personally don't think you'll ever see a Detective 27 sell publicly for $50k again. (I bought the Tec 27 7.0 from Heritage and already have had multiple opportunities to sell at $70k+ but haven't done so because I don't think I'll be able to replace it at a similar price down the road.) My Why didn't these buyers bid on the heritage auction? it's only a few months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filter81 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Why didn't these buyers bid on the heritage auction? it's only a few months ago. I would never try to speak for someone else, so I'm not going to try to guess. You'd have to ask them. It could be because the market on this particular book is different now than it was several months ago after several other copies have sold since then all at increasingly higher prices. It could be that these particular buyers are in a different financial situation than they were in a few months ago. It could be that they don't bid with Heritage for whatever reason or were unaware of the book at the time of the sale. There are so many possible reasons it'd be tough to try to guess. All I can tell you is what I know, which is that the offers have come in. I can speak from my own experience and say at this time I personally would be willing to spend more for a restored Tec 27 or Action 1 than I would have been prepared to spend several months ago. By the way I really am asking (not accusing) but have you ever been on these boards before under a different username? I can't help but notice you have a very distinctive posting style and your account was created within a day after a known shill with a similar posting style was banned from the boards. Hopefully its just a coincidence in which case I apologize for asking in the first place I'd hate to see that guy posting again though under a (9th?) name.

Filter81 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 huh? On second thought nevermind. Because assuming the date you joined the boards is just a coincidence, I'm going to feel like a real *Spoon*. There's a guy who's been banned from the boards 6 or 7 times now under the names AlleyBat, BucOne, WaltT, and I believe JH1 (unless I'm confusing shills now.) I think his last few usernames have been a first name and last initial. He used to make a lot of short posts, usually ending in "?"s. I'm pretty sure his latest shill account was banned the day before you registered. In any event, the guy is a complete dirtbag and a known criminal. Just about the lowest form of life you're ever likely to meet. CGC keeps banning him but the next day he usually comes back under a new name. Hopefully this time he decided to crawl back under his rock for good and actually STAY banned. In which case I'm an for even mentioning anything and I sincerely do apologize You can't be too vigilant when it comes to this guy though because after padding his post count he has tried on several occasions to use these boards to steal from other board members.
