Raw Bronze Age Books that SOLD!

[divad]

Raw Bronze Age books books have matured. They don't "heat up" or "trend" like their CA and MA specu-counterparts. This thread is for the purpose of posting actual sales by the fine members of our BA community, not to hype books for the speculative flippers, but instead to establish true value for raw copies selling in all grades. No CGC or graded sales should be posted here.

Here's a couple of recent BA sales to start it off:

 

Black Goliath 5

 

Kull the Conqueror 2

I don't think you should use BINs - you need to show a series of books with auctions. I like the concept, but there's no way the market for Black Goliath 5 is $24. Great sale for you, but I'd be extremely surprised if another one sells for that.

Actually Dan, they're all auctions. My starting prices are what I feel (at a minimum) the book is worth. The BIN is always 30% higher. I'm in no hurry to sell my books as my daytime job (and family) keep me quite busy. (As I know, the same with you.) My goal is to sell a book a day. That way, by the time I'm 275, my collection will be sold off.

 

And btw, a data point is a data point.

And actually, BG as a title does pretty well raw - people just tend to sell them in lots (1-5), as it was a short run.

 

BG5 eBay sales by price last 90 days.

What happened to the other comments that were in here, like my post with a link to recent sales?

Yeah, I noticed this morning that a few posts had "poofed". Not sure why.

I agree you gotta show a pattern.

That's what you and Dan can help do here - post some respectable BA sales. A pattern will develop over time. Go back and read the OP.

A pattern starts with the first post. (thumbs u I like this idea.

Maybe you wait to make a thread like this until you have some sales "patterns" available.

Perhaps you could sell a BA book and post it here? I seriously doubt that any of us have enough copies of any one BA issue (sellable, that is) that would satisfy the "pattern" comment.

That's why you use proven data like sold listings on eBay sorted by recent first. (Like the link I posted that was mysteriously deleted).

You can make a case for any single book because there is almost always going to be someone looking to fill holes on a run.

Just what is your problem? Move along if you don't wish to contribute.

[ygogolak]

My problem? I'm trying to salvage this thread buy contributing information on how to make this thread useful, and I'm not alone.

[divad]

I guess you never read the original post then . . . it's not a "trending sales" thread - we already have those in three different forums.

[ygogolak]

I did read your post. I can see this is going nowhere.

If the thread isn't going to be about patterns, it should be retitled to "Raw Bronze Age Books that SOLD!"

Some of you may consider this one Copper, but at early 1983, I think it's safe to put it squarely in the Bronze Age:
