Outbid on the Adventure Comics 353 (love me some Fatal Five). :cry:

 

But put in what I figured was a low bid on Avengers 89, thinking I wouldn't stand a chance. Absolutely love that Captain Marvel cover. Low and behold, I won it. Awesome!

Roy (vintagecomics) had the FF #4 9.6 listed on ebay before it moved to the CL auction....

 

I actually sold that book to a private buyer for what I thought was a really strong price. The buyer had it in the comic link auction within a couple of days of receiving it.

 

I'm happy with the sale I made. Interesting to see what it does at auction.

 

Let us know if he takes a bath or not. :wishluck::P

 

You want to see a bath? Avengers 9 White Mountain sold for $6K in Feb 2009 and just ended tonight at $2K. I wonder if the consignor saw upgrade potential that didn't pan out or just got caught up in the Avengers frenzy of 2009. Either way, that is a brutal haircut to take.

 

I was watching that one and was going to put in a last-minute bid, but couldn't get to my computer before the auction ended. Dang!!

 

I'm telling myself that I probably would have just bumped up the winning bidders final price.

Well--another Black Terror # 1 come and gone--I know it sold for basically guide (and basically the same price it sold for 2 years back), but given that there are like 6 collectors for it, I thought I might snag it for $100 or so less.

 

On the flipside, I got my Heritage wins today, including the Lloyd Jacquet bound copy of Black Terror 1-2. # 1 was a good read. I'd read a few Excitings but never quite picked up that his super strength came from...getting high on ether.

I've been the underbidder on almost everything I bid on. I was usually twice the next lowest bid but some trumped all my insufficiently_thoughtful_person bids.

I've never bought on Comic Link before and I'm having a hard time finding information on shipping costs and other post auction fees. Can anyone tell me what to expect in terms of additional costs if I win an auction? Or just provide a link to a page that spells it out, terms and conditions was pretty vague.

 

3% buyers fee if paying by credit card (no fee if check, M.O., etc).

 

15 bucks for shipping (up to 3 books ) in the U.S.

$83,022 for the 8.5 FF#1! After 10%, that's roughly a profit of $5719.80 in 3 years. Not exactly a stellar return, but being in the green is better than in the red...#4 fetched $48,102.

 

Did that sale pencil out as a profit for the seller, Roy?

I was guessing you sold it for $50K, so I'm further guessing your buyer was very slightly optimistic and with the juice, took a bit of a bath. :eek:

This was one of a couple auctions I was watching closely. First Metropolis sells a copy for $300,000 (9.4) and now a 8.5 goes for $83,000.

 

Wonder what my 8.0 might be worth hm
