I'm still the top bidder on 34 books. I may go back and revisit and add or up a couple bids, but I tend to throw down my top bid and forget about it. Ebay is the only place I do last second snipes, it's too much effort in these big auctions.

Thoughts on end price for Aman 26? Already 5k

 

With that PQ and the overall presentation I wouldn't be at all surprised if it brings AT LEAST 15K. I could be way off base I am certainly no expert on centaurs but as a follower of the more obscure I know this is one of the most coveted of the entire publishers inventory and there seems to be quite a few Centaur collectors with deep pockets. This book given its cool factor and rarity would be in my opinion a crown Jewel to most collections. Without a doubt a battle will ensue for this issue as the dogs are already beginning to show a glimpse of their teeth. I would think GAtor would be the man with the answer but I am sure he is keeping that close to the vest I would if I were a contender (who says I'm not) ;) Just Kiddin! (or am I) :D .Not for the faint of heart on this one.

 

15k would be a mind blowing price....but it wouldn't be the first, or even the tenth, when it comes to mind blowing prices this year.

 

Definitely a seller's market.

 

 

As a fan of oddities, rarities and cool covers, regardless of grade, I consider five figure prices for presentable low grade copies of extremely rare books less mind-blowing than paying the same for very high grade pedigree copies of less interesting and more common books.

Books A thru to C ending in 2 days ... Lotta nice books in that lot.

 

Most of the books I want end bidding while I am doing a talk which means I have to place a high bid and pray. :cry:

 

Well, at least with the CLink system, you don't have to worry about being walked all the way up to your max during extended bidding.

Agreed that drives me nuts.

I don't think I have ever seen such a nice copy of All Winners 6

 

All Winners really has some under appreciated covers. # 5 and # 10 are :cloud9: too

Some people were complaining in last months auction they were not getting the 'outbid notification' emails. It wouldnt apply to me as i havent been outbid yet but can anyone confirm that they have been receiving them this time.

 

Yes I received notifications when my tracking bids were overtaken

I figured, that's why I ended up bidding on about 50 items.

 

I wrote a visual basic -script for one auction that let me run a macro to go out and grab the current price on all the books I was interested in and put them in the spreadsheet. Takes some setup time. I found just what you would expect, most of the action happens at the end.

The good thing is that your bids live on indefinitely -- with the hammer price -- in your bid list, even long after the auction page itself has poofed. Very handy, given that CLink doesn't report to GPA.
