Detective Comics #27, CGC 7.5... $597,500.00 and holding...

 

This is o-u-t-r-a-g-e-o-u-s.

 

I mean next possible move to stay in the ballpark (i.e. *minimum* bid) is 660K.

This is hillarious - I thought it was great to experience the HA 8.0 sale. Not least because I thought it was a unique one in a lifetime sale to watch. And here we just are a few months down the road and now this book seems to take off one more time. I mean we are not even in the live sessions yet. This is unreal. 660K I am speechless <3

 

Consider the comparable remaining timeframe with the 8.0 book and this smoker is doing better! If there is more than one big whale circling out there we are in for fireworks in a few days ...

Problem is, if you just factor the juice into in the bid ... you most often dont win :(

 

 

Not true. If you're not winning, it ain't because of the juice. It's because someone was willing to pay more than you. I don't know of anyone that does not factor in the juice when they bid, including the collectors you are bidding against. (shrug)

 

I've thought that Heritage has had some amazing bargains over the last few months. Some of the books in their Sunday auctions go for wayyy less than GPA average. Add to that the number of books you won't find anywhere short of Metropolis' warehouse and you are just doing yourself a disservice Cheetah a service not checking out their auctions.

Fixed it for you. :shy:

There are always bargains.... just not on the books that I want.

 

Juice is irrelevant to me. The seller is the one paying for the juice. I don't even look at the number without juice. I pay no more for books on heritage than I do on comiclink.

 

In fact look at the Gary Keller silver age Flash books. Most of the early one's he bought in a comiclink auction. He then sold them through Heritage and almost everyone of them he lost 1.5-2K on not counting the juice.

Heritage if you're listening you really need to ship out the international catalogs a little sooner. Pretty useless when it arrives the day before or day of! People need some time to look through it and consider their bids!

I got mine weeks ago and I live a lot further away than you do!

Indeed, - that HA juice rips the dough off of your pockets. But again, if theres a book you got a have ... you got a have it.

 

Go feed the fire :) We live only once :sorry:

 

 

I used to think this way but I disagree now. All you have to do is factor the BP into your bid. In fact it's even spelled out there for you when you are bidding...prices with and without BP.

That has nothing to do with the BP. That just means you didn't bid high enough.

So.... I guess the question is (as a buyer):

 

Would I rather write a check for $3,000 for a book on a site that charges a 19.5% commission or $4,500 for the same book on a different site that charges a 10% vig? hm

 

OOH, OOH ... I know this answer.... I need more time? :baiting:

For the price that Heritage charges you'll get a first class catalog, large scans, excellent advertising, cross-promotion with others on their customer list and a live auction with multiple bidding formats. While there may be reasons not bid with Heritage, when you add in an archive of everything they've sold available for free on top of what I already listed, then I have a hard time seeing why the BP should be a deciding factor on which auction to participate in.

lol You are right! Heritage sucks. They download porn and viruses on your computer and will make you lose your job, spouse and custody of your children. Their catalogs are printed with lead-based ink. Save yourself! STAY AWAY!

I like the catalogs...but, I really do my "analysis" online... the catalog's pics are too small, so one really doesn't need it to have all the info (better info) at their disposal... that said, many a deuce have been played to the tune of the heritage cat (Thumbs u
