Aweandlorder Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I find it pretty wild that there have been ZERO sets for sale on Ebay... Last year when this came out there were at least 4-5 sets up on Ebay the day it hit... ZERO sets you say? :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krighton Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 what was the con price for the 1st set last year. Maybe the $150 this year was a bit cost prohibitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the authority Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 It could be but we all make a little on books from time to time. It's nice to see the guy writing and producing the books to get some too. Out of all of us, the creators should definitely get paid imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krighton Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 i'm just saying cost prohibitive for those who quickly dump on ebay. Overall cost is fine considering the rarity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PIR8 Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Yea, I think the price was fine considering the availability also. Lots of modern books selling for more than $28 each with a whole lot more copies out there. I'm also wondering why we haven't t seen any on the bay. Am I gonna have to be the individual_without_enough_empathy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BizarroChuck Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 You won't find mine on ebay anytime soon. I'm hoping to get all 9.8s back so I have the full SDCC run in 9.8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PIR8 Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Mine are definitely going to be slabbed pending condition. I'm just very curious to see what the aftermarket price settles at. Sadly, these are my first copies of 5 Ghost at all (although I have read and enjoyed it quite a bit) and post TV news it a strange time to start putting a set together, so while I'm going to love having these, there's a good chance mine will end up on the selling block post slabbage.

Dmac538 Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 SS for mine, when I see the boys at NYCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emezy360 Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 (edited) SS for mine, when I see the boys at NYCC I am sure we will see a few sets on ebay soon. Edited July 27, 2014 by emezy360 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the authority Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 i'm just saying cost prohibitive for those who quickly dump on ebay. Overall cost is fine considering the rarity. Yeah, I would say that's true. If they bring $300 on ebay, then I'll bet you see a lot of them. Five Ghosts on ebay right now is doing pretty well. Stuff that I paid $5 or less for in the last year in now $14-$15 per book. It also looks like the print run trended up prior to the announcement which I think is a very good sign. I believe its a good time to be buying FG for a lot of reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PIR8 Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 SS you say? I never think about SS, and my books are already at CGC when signing oops come up. End up either buying extra copies or cracking slabs May just have to wait this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank J. Barbiere Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 The #1 reprint was 7,000 and the #2 reprint was 5,000. A lot of those were sold via initial orders, but I think you can still get them from Diamond. Ask a shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZaCrew Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 So I was looking through my books... I don't know if people remembered but I had talked about ruining a set of 1-5 SDCC books.. that's not entirely accurate (props to Independence Day for the line) I have a #1 and #5 9.8 from the set I may put on Ebay and see what kind of flurry there is *wicked grin* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steadybeasie Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 thats a good ideal it will be a measuring stick as to how much those sets have gone up in value since the news about the TV show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still might. SDCC cut in my disposable income budget this month like a mofo, hahaha. I have never seen these sold individually, I don't think.

PIR8 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 And 1 bid I likely can't hang with where it'll end up at, but I'll be damned if someone else gets it for the starting bid, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
