Wow.. and I thought 9.4's peaked at $1K to $1.1K

I believe I said about a year ago that this would be a $1500 book in the future and I was just about laughed off the board by some of regular "pundits". I thought it would take a bit longer but the recent trend on this book has been increasing over the last few months. I think it may fluctuate between $1K and $1.5K but this book is here to stay for a while. This was not an abberation of a sale in my opinion, especially since the book did not have good eye appeal.

The buyer had better hope the movie is good.

[Rocketeer]

Hmmmm ....time to sell my 9.2....just got it back today....ow pgs...

That's not entirely true, as there is no limit to what speculators will take a book to in the short-term, and one sale does not a $1500 book make.

 

I remember disagreeing with you on this, and it was more in the frame of longterm worth, not some bizarro movie-based, speculator-hype run-up that will fade within the next 6 months to a year.

 

Will this be a consistent (post-movie) $1500 book? NO!

 

Could insufficiently_thoughtful_person speculators pump up prices to illusionary levels based on greed? YES!

 

Two different questions, two different answers.

[Rocketeer]

Yeah insufficiently_thoughtful_person speculators!!....

[Red Hook]

Plus, your 9.2 has a much nicer wrap.

Hey Chris,

 

Missed that debate, but you were proved right to some degree. Even still, I'll be additionally surprised if more sell at this level. Despite the extremely aggresive buying lately, there was only one other bidder forcing the winner to this level. If it was 2-3 bidders, I'd agree that a couple more could match this sale. My hunch is that they drop back to the $1k to 1.2K range... but we'll see. I've underestimated the book thus far it appears... and I like the book.

 

Just makes me wish i held those (2) extra 9.6's I had and sold at what I thought the peak level was 2 months ago. $2300. Looks like I could have moved at least one over $2500-2600. Where were these guys when that last 9.6 online went for $2100?

 

Timing is everything

[BronzeBruce13]

absolutely... contact the underbidder of the 9.4 auction for first shot.

I always find myself wondering the same about low sales on my books one day and higher results from the same books with different sellers at a later date...

[sburn_z]

I remember last summer a 9.4 sat with a buy it now of $800 for atleast two weeks and no one ever hit it,

In the early days of these boards the Murph said he was buying these at $300-500 a pop, although I think the only sale under like $450 was a BIN...by Murph!!

[BronzeBruce13]

Maybe all the HTF HG black cover keys are on the rise.

 

I think it may be time to offer by beautiful MTU 1 9.4 White now that I acquired 2 9.6's. I think I need to run a few ebay auctions just so I remember how... and to hookup with this new crop of aggresive buyers.

[uclapeterg]

That is one fugly book!

[uclapeterg]

Remember, comgeek seems to get higher prices than most, too.

[greggy]

 

 

Making refererence to the hoarding comment. Sigh...one of the few books that I sold last year that has actually gone up in price substantially. Sold my 9.4 and 9.6 too cheaply in retrospect!

 

Oh well...I made it up on others books that have definitely gone down in price!

Why is that I wonder?
