Well, people sure have found good deals on eBay!

It's been a while.... but I won a Fine copy of Batman 73 for around $ 75 ..... it was back when many buyers were reluctant to buy old comics from Antique Dealers who din't have a history with comic sales..... GOD BLESS...

This year?

I got a crazy deal on a Vampirella #1 CGC 9.2 for $800.

Wasn't Ebay though.

The best I have ever done was getting The Dark Knight Hardback signed and numbered by Miller for $35.00!!! It has about a 1 inch tear on the book cover but that is it. I kept my eye on them for a long time just waiting for one to slip past and not get very many bids.

 

Yeah, I got one that was listed by a hardcover wholesaler for "half cover"... $20.

 

[RockMyAmadeus]

Oh, and a VF- Vampirella #1 for $225 that I got signed by Frazetta (ok, so that added $300 to the price), and graded 8.5....sold fro $2800.

 

I still regret it.

Not a comic book, but comic book related.

 

In the early days of eBay this item was listed as a "1970 Comic Book Catalog". The auction had no photo and no further description. The seller started it at $10 with free shipping.

 

I didn't know what the item was for sure, but I thought a comic book catalog from 1970 would be cool to look at. The auction ended at $10 with me as the only bidder.

 

Imagine my delight when this arrived in the mail a few days later.

 

 

 

It's the very first Overstreet Price Guide. I kept it for a few years then sold it for $450.

 

 

I don't remember this story. Amazing.

There's a boardie that bought a book for like 300 or something and sold it for like 20K a couple months later.

 

Hands down the all time

 

This topic has already been covered.

Yea I remember that it was an early Action comic with a small buy it now, after getting it slabbed he sold it on CLink for around 21k I think.

[Diaolos]

I fall in this category

[Dinosaur Pinata]

I was searching daily for a copy of YTLM and happened to stumble onto one that was listed about 10 minutes prior that looked minty fresh for 49.99 (along with issue #60) - snapped that up and subbed came back a 9.8

[MR SigS]

Nothing Earth shattering; a mid grade+ TOS #59 for $15 as the sole bidder. Nothing at all "fishy" about the auction, and I still don't know where everyone was that day.

It was FUELMAN. Action Comics #10 for 205.50 shipped via West Virginia. Your memory of 21K at auction sounds about right. I don't think it was up long on eBay before he pulled the trigger. There's a mammoth thread on it somewhere in the archives. Even talk of the seller being made aware of what got away--and she seemed to take it in stride.

 

I wish I'd seen this BIN sale first:

 

Action Comics #10 for $200

 

It looks like it's in pretty good condition. The buyer, empirecollectiblescomics, nabbed it for a measly two-hundred bucks. From what I can ascertain this is a $3,000 to $8,000 comic, maybe more.

Came out as a 9.0 CGCed.

 

 

 

Haven't sent it in yet but I also picked up another copy (VF+) at $61. Not too shabby considering how hot the book is.

 

I have more like that but didn't want to bore people. I worked eBay really hard during that timespan and out of 40+ key books, only about 3 came overgraded. And the funny thing is, even the overgraded books grew in value by quite a bit. Detective Comics #359 eBay graded VF-? It came back as 4.0 CGCed, but considering I paid only $66 for it, worth my while.

[CAMPER49]

I found a BATMAN 91 VG (maybe VG/F?) for $5 about 6 years ago...yes, $5!!!

 

[kav]

I've often bought lots of comics, pulled out the HG's and sold them for more than the lot price and kept most of the lot.

[Inhuman Fiend]

Bumping this because it's near and dear to my heart, but I didn't see October post about the HoS 92 he bought for almost nothing 6 or 7 years ago, think it was described as VG and was actually VF or better?

I think Andy is the King of eBay bargain hunters!

Thanks bud. I still have that HoS 92. Love that issue.

Lots of good deals to be had on Ebay for those with patience. I picked up a copy of ASM #1 for $800 last year, came back a 2.0. Also picked up a copy of Avengers #1 last year for $350, came back a 4.5!
