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

Mycomicshop.com is selling a copy at 9.0 for $375!

I sold a ASM 19 CGC 9.0 for $575 last month on the boards - a copy sold for $827 last night.  There is a copy up on E-Bay for $725.  Not much thought being put into some of the biddings last night.

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. 

I haven't had the time nor desire to go back and survey the final hammer prices for the bulk of the ASMs, but from the few I looked at I would agree with you. The pedigree books were super (sometimes stupidly) strong, but that rising tide seemed to lift all the boats in that part of the auction. Could be that the attention from the new pedigree brought bidders in on the other high grade books as well. Any way you slice it it was a great auction to be a seller of ASMs.

I've never put any bigger books up for auction because I'm always afraid they'll sell for much less than a Buy-it-Now.

At the same time, I don't like that I have to wait for my $$ to trickle in, one sale at a time.

Based on individual experiences, what's the ratio of books selling below GPA, at GPA or above GPA via auction??

I wound up going after some Batman and won the 232 8.5 - after shipping and the buyers fee it will be slightly under the 90 day GPA.  It was a very nice looking 8.5 so I was happy.  I might win something else before this is over but I'm not for being a record holder unless I'm on the selling end.

Pay with a check and you won't pay the 3% buyer's fee.

I probably will now that you suggested it, with my cc I get 1.5% back but I think more is better - thanks for suggesting that.

Yeah, I used to do similar math when I had a CC that paid cash back. But I was never able to justify making 1% while paying 3% extra. Plenty of times saving that 3% has paid for my shipping costs.

I thought Rob Moore sold that book here, did you sell one too?

Yep - it was a week or two before his copy sold.

Depends on the book. Generally speaking, run of the mill silver and bronze do not fare well. Expect a 15-30% GPA haircut. Scarcer comics, older genre books and esoteric stuff are hit or miss. They can bring strong money, or get overlooked. The cream of the crop, super high grade keys that don't often come up, classic covers, and well-known rarities bring strong money. 

Bottom line, unless the book is noteworthy you will likely do better setting a BIN and waiting. 

Unfortunately for myself, I am both lazy and impatient when it comes to selling.

Picked this up last night, for about 60% of what I thought I would have to pay:

Another round of great bargains on the CLink; shocking that it has been this way for a while now with those auctions.

Sorry I meant condoms

Picked this up last night....its an upgrade for an existing copy....got it for a better price than expected which is always nice.

Was after 2 Tecs only won one:

[Martin Sinescu]

I passed on the Bats 181 9.0 last night and I was willing to pay more than what it sold for. I was anticipating that I might have a shot at the 'Tec 67 tonight and got my spoon handed to me on a silver platter. 

[1Cool]

Looks like it's going to be a Ofer kind of night.  Thought I had a shot at one of the FF 4 books but I got blown away on the few I went after.

[paperheart]

i nearly won the Flash #128 9.0 old label - got outbid by 8x.   

[wasonff]

Always loved this book...picked it up for right around GPA
