Able Auctions in Canada

[Gatchaman]

Did anybody bid on anything here or win anything? They had over 60,000 comic books with a lot of gold and silver.

 

I was bidding on the VAMPIRELLA #1 (1969) -40 IN 4 BOUND VOLUMES, but it went for $142 US.

And more.

 

I guess, from the new from last night, that this was the largest auction in Canada and from a single owner. A lot of people showed up. I was bidding on line. I wish I could have gone.

There were some very nice magazines i would've love to buy.

I won a bunch of chit I really didn't need.

 

Best win was the Heidi.

Sorry, didn't see that post and I was looking for one.

 

I placed bids a couple weeks ago. It was on the news last night and it showed people looking through the books. Wish I was there.

Bids at Able were strong on the Sat. compared to eBay or Ostreet.

Your hammer price on the bound Vampi hard cover mag set is wrong, as a Toronto lawyer who flew in to Vancouver bid about $950. U only quoted the Vampi's 15% buyer's premium in post # 1.

Hammer prices softer on the Sunday, as ppl ran out of $$. Bulk lots of mixed comics in 'mystery' short boxes averaged $50/box + b.p. + tax sold to retailers, flippers restocking. No Death of Superman speculator overstock.

(thumbs u Winning bids were int'l too. e.g. Texas, Spokane WA, Denmark.

Greggy got a smoking deal on the HOH and Heidi in my opinion. I was pretty shocked at how hi a lot of stuff went though, common bronze runs and such. I took a run at a couple magazines but they weren't anything I was really going after or had them already so I was aggressive at all. I ended up walking away with nothing.
