X-Men #1 Question about price

[guatoman-migration]

Is $1,200 a good price for a X-Men #1 VF?

thank you

[nearmint]

The last 8.0 sold for $5500. The 12 month average for an 8.0 is $5169.80 (5 copies sold).

If this is CGC'd, I would buy it yesterday.

Assuming it's actually close to a VF and doesn't have restoration, that would be an excellent price.

[OldGuy]

Yes, that is a good price. Assuming it actually is VF and has no restoration.

Too good to be true, check the comic throughly.

[guatoman-migration]

I saw the comic and I'm not an expert. (not CGC)

the seller wants 900 euros (about $1,200)

my idea is to buy it, have it CGCd and the re-sell it.

[sfilosa]

Is it an American Edition or a European Addition?

 

And make sure it's not a reprint.

[nearmint]

That would be a nice deal even if it's only a 6.0 copy, but the guys are right, make sure it's not a reprint, and it's not restored.

[guatoman-migration]

as far as I know (and seen) the copy is US and not a reprint. I can't tell about the restoring.

sadly I won't be able to meet the guy again for about a month, so I hope he hasn't already sold it.

US books are not so requested here in Italy, therefore prices are different.

How's the selection out there? Is there a guy who comes around once a month selling Silver Age? Is that about it?

 

And....that is a great price for the comic. I'd snap it up in a sec' and keep it for my collection.

here in Italy there are not so many US comics collectors (as far as I know),

so one could sell a book for its real value but if there's no demand, he can do just two things: put a lower price or wait for a customer.

I didn't pay much attention to this book cause price to me was way too high. I'm looking for low grade books and this guy had only fine ones. (I'm wondering who his usual customers are...)

Just be careful. I purchased an X-Men #1 copy for $1250 (advertised as 7.5 raw) a couple of years ago . It came back as a 7.5 from CGC, but with restoration. I'm thinking the guy had it CGC graded, found out it was restored, and sold it to me raw. He refused to take the book back, so we both wound up leaving negative feedback to each other.

That is why I always purchase items with a credit card - it leaves you some recourse for situations like that.

My early Ebay days cost me a lot of money.

[guatoman-migration]

you're right.

that's why I'm going to check the book a thousand times before my investment.

thank you for your advice.
