jjeanius Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Bought an 8.0 Wright Tec 28 in Feb 2012 for $44,812.50 - sold the same book in May 2012 as an 8.5 @ $38,837.50...for a net loss of roughly $15k. 44.8k - 38.8k does NOT equal to a loss of 15k you lovable math genius you 38.8k is a bid of $32,500...which, less 10% seller's commission, is $29,250...a loss of just over $15k (and without taking into account costs related to press/resub).

jjeanius Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Well, there's a 7.5 (Billy Wright) that sold on HA awhile back. Also curious about the Billy Wright 7.0 that sold on HA the same year (since only one 7.0 is currently on the census, and we know Bunky has a 7.0). Maybe the 7.0 was re-subbed and got a bump to 7.5? Court, I thought that Bunky's was a 7.5. Anyways, didn't G.A.tor use to own a Tec 29 7.5 at some time or another? Paging Rick.... I believe 7.0 Thanks Peter. I couldn't remember if it was a 7 or 7.5. It might even be the same one Bunky has now. Definitely 7.0. There are pics earlier in this thread. The book is an absolute stunner (looks much nicer than a 7.0 from the FC, but is missing a small chunk on the bc per Gator's inside info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on what kind of deal the seller worked out with HA. My guess is that he did not pay a seller's premium and may possibly have gotten a slice of the buyer's premium. At the very worst, the seller's premium on a relist is only 5%, iirc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny545 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Anyone want to wager a guess on the TEC 29 CGC 7.5 hammer price....? Seems like the market has shifted dramatically since the time the last one on HA sold. Does it clear $100K? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like the market has shifted dramatically since the time the last one on HA sold. Does it clear $100K? I think this book is extremely tough one to peg because Tec 29's in the 7.5 range come up so rarely that is extremely difficult to make a good guesstimate. With that being said, I would say just north of 100k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny545 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I guess the question is how long until you get the chance to buy one of only two existing CGC 7.5 TEC 29's again and what will the market look like the next time a copy comes up for sale...
