Wish I had some books being sold in this batch of auctions.  Everything is going for at least GPA across the board.

Yeah, my Cap 110 9.4 double cover really killed it. Went for $175 UNDER last GPA for a regular copy.

I just need to stop selling at auction. For every nice surprise there are five results that range from mediocre to just plain bad.

ASM 301 blew it away and the Harley Quinn went for over $400

What the hell was that Bone #2 doing in tonights books

[Buzzetta]

I thought the ASM books realized some strong prices.  I was surprised and for a fleeting moment thought about selling off a few more undercopies.

Yeah because although it may take way longer, someone will pay what you want if you keep it on a buy it now...and if it is nice to look at in the mean time....bonus!

Only five?

 prices for some Batman books were bonkers: #169, #174, #178 and #186 were off the GPA chart.  could someone let the underbidder on the B&B #78 know that they can pick up a copy in my sales thread for $200 less than they bid.

Probably the same case with all of the auctions. 

It's just that everybody focuses in on the headline grabbing sales only and tends to forget about all of the other many results that fails to live up to expectations.

That's the only book I won last night.  Went 1 for 10

The auction isn't even over for that first Riddler appearance in Tec but I still want to congratulate the seller. Wow.

I think that had a lot more to do with the new pedigree than anything else. Some of those ped books were 25% (or more) over other copies in similar grades, and that was even before the auctions ended. I haven't logged back in to see where some of those books ended up. I was eyeing the #27 and #44 and both of those were well above what those books should have commanded in those grades, and they were lowly VF range copies.

I watched books end for an hour and it seemed like almost every book was seeing a large snipe bump at the last second.  It's to be expected but there usually are a few that fall thru the cracks.  The ASM 9.8s seemed to have done very well.

Not much chatter but that Action 23 is already going for 2.5x what the previous high water mark for a 6.5 sold for in 2013.  Haven't done that much comparison on other books but Supes (or Lex) is hot. 

That book has been going up exponentially for years. I think I sold my good looking 2.0 for $4K+ about two years ago.

I was very surprised my ASM #51 9.0 White no Ped sold for $475.

I thought that even some of the non pedigrees were reaching strong prices.  I don't think ASM 17 in 7.5 or the ASM 50 were part of that run.
