One thing anyone should know about now is that I don't care what anyone else's books sell for cuz I don't benefit.

One off or has the market officially crashed? I was shocked at how low this went.

Zero feedback is a red flag to anyone with half a brain cell, scam written all over it. There was a similar sale with a 9.6 Silver Surfer #4 that turned out to be bollocks.  If this is a legit sale I will show my arse at the town hall.

My bad for not noticing that!

When you have been duped before, you become suspicious of everything.

Admittedly a weak 9.6 and not as nice as Gregs, but a lot cheaper. 

Legion of monsters 9.6 on ebay.

Understatement.

Wow, that's wild. I guess I did ok picking this one up a couple of months ago for about $10. Maybe it's time to list. As you can see, it's a little rough, so I'll have to list it as a 9.9 instead of a 10.

Here's one that sold a couple of days ago for $28.50:

$1600 is a strong, solid price for a Vampirella 1 in 6.5.

Yep for sure.  Continues to build stronger support for higher prices.  May level a bit around here but this book is in a new realm now....

Wasn't sure where to post this, but is the Overstreet Guide the go-to on pricing mags (e.g., Eerie Pubs)?  Is there any Online resource for pricing-particularly in higher grades?  In this climate, pricing is such a moving target (hence the title of this thread :)). 

Thanks in advance for any recommendations!

In my experience, Overstreet is grossly out of touch with the current market on pretty much every single book with regard to valuations.  Pricing many of these books in higher grades (especially Eerie Publications, Stanleys, and Skywalds), is pretty much a toss up.  The market on them is still volatile and high grade copies show up haphazardly, at times in venues in which very few magazine collectors are looking (Heritage, etc.).  Which unfortunately, just leaves having to search sold listings at various venues but even that isn't a very good barometer.

As an example, there was an exceptionally rare copy of a non-Warren comic magazine up for auction with a high minimum bid.  But the minimum bid was still a fraction of what that magazine should go for considering how scarce it is in high grade.  I picked it up for the minimum bid but I would never sell it for that much and it could be another 10 years or so before a similar copy shows up.  So, if you had another copy for sale in the same grade, and you used that sale as a guide, you'd be selling cheap.

Wish I had a better answer for you.  Perhaps other seasoned collectors can impart more wisdom than I have.  I would suggest @oakman29 but that man never sells anything so he's no help.

You've got an awesome collection.  And it didn't get that way by selling nice books.
