When someone has a hi priced book and I low ball em and they reply with a counter of $1 less than their orig offer I go ahead and buy it, then get it and keep it and do a paypal reversal.

That'll show em.

lol, you guys are hilarious. I get lowballs all the time, they never bother me. when I had my superman 1-12 bound volume up on ebay ($65,000 BIN), I was offered $1 maybe a dozen different times. it's good for a laugh!

 

That's why you keep setting new GPA records, because of this attitude. (thumbs u

Example:

 

Gold Key Magnus # 1.

 

I love that you have 4 copies for sale. I hate that they're *optimistically* priced.

 

But they are listed at:

 

CGC 7.5: $495 (+3%)

CGC 7.5: $525 (+3%)

CGC 4.5: $275 (+3%)

CGC 4.0: $225 (+3%)

 

The first 7.5 might not be _too_ out of bounds, given that there's a GPA-recorded sale of $460, but realistic pricing for this book is $400, not $509.85 plus shipping.

 

The others are just ridiculous. The 4.0 and 4.5 copies would struggle to reach $75 at open auction, and that's being generous, as the highest recorded GPA high is $50 for 4.0 and $68 for 5.0.

 

And, for reference, I set the listed GPA highs for Magnus 1 in 4.0, 4.5, and 9.4.

 

Annnndddd... two days after this book was mentioned in this thread, it's now been changed to a BIN of $790. :eyeroll:

Fairly ridiculous for a book that sold 5 months ago on heritage for $299 and flipped a week later for $450. Maybe another sucker will come along and buy it again, but if it wasn't selling at the $500+ plus price you've had it at for the last few months, I doubt this will do any better.

 

This exact example is what I thought you were trying to get suggestions on how to avoid, but apparently not.

 

I actually raised the price because I'm going to request to have it shipped back to me tomorrow. They were closed by the time I got home from work.

 

looks like you were a genius for not buckling under the pressure of the peanut gallery. A new GPA high has been set on a CGC 4.0 for $200! It warms my heart to see this. I love Magnus and it's about time this heavily under valued book started to get some love!
