october Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I think we can believe October. As for 37,000 comics, unless you had partners helping, how on earth did you process all of that? You have a day job still, right? Or do you still have 36,500 of them in a garage somewhere? Sold the top 1% individually. The rest went in bulk to dealers. The best book was an ASM 1 7.0 that went to Gator. Also got eight Star Wars 1 9.8s and a Giant Size X-Men 1 9.8 from that batch. Wish I still had them in a garage somewhere. This was before a lot of the current price runups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crash and burn! That MM set was a good score though! I actually found this seller on craigslist. He told me to take a look at his inventory list on eBay.. The MM set was the only one I was interested in, everything else was junk.. He did tell me that he just wants to sell everything in one go because hes getting tired of listing/shipping so I guess thats the end result..

Gaard Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I'm not that much into hi-grade for my collection ... usually I don't like to go over 'fine', so it'd be kinda embarrassing to post links. Makes it easier to win auctions when there's not a lot of bidders. Lately I've been buying lots of Star Spangled War Stories. I like dinosaurs.

Bird Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I have been waiting for someone to post the NM98 I sold on ebay last week. I passed on $200 here on the boards and figured I would let it ride on ebay. the ebay listing Such a n00b with comics on ebay. Live and hopefully learn. I hope the boardie who offered $200 to me got it though! That would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, he wasnt aware of market trends and comics in general.. Probably just listed and listed and listed with the hopes that something will catch...

smithdatura Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 This was a ~$90 BIN from a few weeks ago. Probably a 9.6. THAT was a $90 BIN? Nice score Andy Great purchase. Picked up a graded version not too long ago and certainly wouldn't have minded a raw copy at that price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punksdropdirtysrh Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Won this last night. Been waiting on an auction, wasn't ready to do $50 BIN. Got it for half that woo hoo.
