somebody's shill just bit them in the [!@#%^&^]!

[g-man]

hmmmmmm....maybe the owner went into panic mode?

[dolphinsrwj]

i was just watching that, HOLY !@#$ huge jump

[murph0]

I can't see what makes this book worth 1,250 dollars other then a number, it's a solid looking book (of course), I thought I would've had a shot with my snipe bid set at 375...but obviously not.

Insane, crazy, and rediculous! That kind of money would buy a really nice earlier copy of ASM or many other titles. I don't understand buying such high premiums for NM and higher books, especially the relatively newer books. Of course, if I had the money, and I was trying to build a super high grade collection, I might be tempted...

Too many bronze ASM fanatics /completists that just must have the best: cgc 9.8.

Keep it movin'. Keep it movin'. Nothing to see here...

 

This was just a case of one guy placing a huge proxy bid thinking he had it and a last minute sniper came in and stole it from him. All it takes is two crazy mofos to drive up an auction price.

I agree. I know who all those bidders are except the top 2, and I know the seller. I didn't think it was a shill, I just thought the end price and last minute frenzy was crazy.

[14 of spades]

i was watching that book too - i would've been willing to pay 1275 minus the 1 - i.e. 275...

 

actually - didn't an ASM 120 in 9.8 (hulk cover) go for something similar (1200+)recently?

[Kevin Boyd]

You guys can be shill paranoid.

 

I was in Montreal this weekend and the sellers (Comic Book Addiction), were astounded that the book closed at that amount. They would have been happy with a few hundred dollars.

 

This looks to be a case of someone bidding to insure that they were the winner being beaten by someone's last minute bid proxy.

 

Beautiful book, though.

If you knew the bidders you would understand the insanity. Nuff Said!

Mmmm, I guess the runner-up is Mr. Brulato. Don't know who the winner is but I'm sure he has the big bucks!
