1600? Did I read that right?

[Kris K-migration]

Ending on eBay has been closed. Did you say you might be interested?

 

Let me know!

 

Thanks

[revat]

Can we see a copy of the Certificate of Authenticity that you made?

[Kris K-migration]

I scanned in the original invoice that I received from Joann Portacio and the COA that I generated.

 

Let me know if you have any other questions. I'd be happy to help.

 

Thanks

I bet they're going for $1,600 on e-bay too

[Kris K-migration]

There was an unsigned VF/NM that eneded on eBay about 8 weeks ago (or there about) for a tad bit over $1,600 so that is why I set my "asking price" that high... as I said before, I am willing to negotiate with reasonable offers from potential buyers.

If you're using eBay's completed sales to justify your price, it seems a bit odd to leave out the raw, unsigned "NM/NM+" copy that sold for $910 about 2 weeks ago.

That book was not NM+ and I am familiar with the auction. That sale ended during the day (late morning) on a weekday which was a pretty bad time to have the listing end. Look, I don't need to have my balls busted here. I have an asking price which has flexibility on it. If someone wants to make an offer, they can make me an offer. I am not trying to scam anyone or rip anyone off. I'm not holding a gun to anyone's head to make a full-price offer. I put an asking price to deter low-ball offers of $150 that I constantly get when I list a valuable comic book.

 

I used the $1,600 as a point of reference because that was more of a typical ending price based on recent auctions. If you were selling a valuable book, would you use the lowest possible listing valuation based on a poor auction end time as your barometer? Sorry if I offended you with my asking price... sheesh.

Hi, can I ask about the certificate of authenticity you created without you getting flustered/defensive?

 

You created it and that gives it validation because...? What I mean is, I can create a certificate of authenticity for any of my books, and that wouldn't give them any "real" validation other than I printed something nice on a piece of paper, but holds no real value. I of course don't know who you are, so I'd like to know how your COA is any different? What makes it "official?"

 

Thanks, and oh... glwts!

No offense taken - you're free to ask the moon for your book.

 

Picking & choosing auction results in order to support your asking price, however, is a bit scammy :thumbsup:

Fair question; my autheticity doesn't hold any value other than the 100% money back guarantee that the signature will pass any offical third party signature verification process. Many use COA's for that purpose.

How is it "scammy"??? Anyone who makes an offer on this book knows the fair market value on it. If your house is worth $200,000 and you went to sell it for $215,000 expecting prospective buyers to negoiate to some meeting point in the middle, but a house down the street from yours sold for $175,000, would you lower your asking price if felt your house was worth the $200,000?? I don't see the difference really and I don't think you'd call that a scam. I really take offense to that comment because I consider myself a very honest person. I am an active duty veteran how puts a high premium on integrity, so I take that comment as a personal shot to my character.

 

No need to reply. This forum is an absolute joke when people go out of their way to interject non-productive criticism when they obviously have no interest in actually making a sale. It is what some refer to as "trolling."

[Jimmy Linguini]

so If I buy this book and send it to CGC with the COA and it comes back green label "name written on cover" you'll give me all of my money back?

 

Does that include grading fees?

You're missing the point by about a mile.

 

You are free to ask whatever you want for this book. Either it will sell or it won't.

 

What's not ok, however, is picking & choosing which auction results to show in order to justify your price - it boggles the mind that you can't see how posting a high auction result from 8 weeks ago and then ignoring a lower auction result from 2 weeks ago isn't misleading.

[Kris K-migration]

OK - This is going great. If someone wants to contact me about the book, message me. I'm not responding to rhetorical and condescending remarks. I expected more from such a passionate group of comic collectors on a pretty respectable forum. Guess my expectations were too high.

I'm not missing your point, but your argument isn't grounded. If you are saying that I ignored last weeks listing to manipulate this sale, then according to your opinion, no one should be able to expect any amount over cover price for a comic. At one point it sold for $2.50 so by not disclosing that I am scammy?
