Dang, 25 new posts!

 

I thought at least there would be arguments about whether or not when you throw CAK against the wall, it sticks

I want to formally apologize to letsgrumble for completely forgetting to send his prize from the last grading game in August. I know this is no excuse, but handling two small children after 10 hrs of work really tax you. I promise to mail it to you , you have my word on that.

My sincerest apologies.

Dave

Not sure if you've done this already but might make more sense to post this in the prize thread

Or just shoot the dude a PM and keep it on the DL. ; ) Just kidding, oakman, sure you feel bad enough.

Tip: the more you write about your price justification, the less likely I am to believe it...

 

You just put a price, I got not issue...

 

but when you start selling the book as "This book seems to continue to climb over the last year"

 

... notice the caveat "over the last year"

 

Yep prices are up over last year, BUT price is declining from sale earlier this year compared to the second sale more recent ($2000 and then down to $1300 for second sale). Granted this is all using two data points to set a trend, a bad practice by even the wimpiest of statisticians...

 

but if you expand your look to include other grades they are also going down in the few recent sales vs sales from a few months ago, except for the 9.2 sale in October...So one outlier while other grade (9.4, 9.4, 9.0) all show down trend...

That particular seller has a past history of being a tool, I just ignore him (and his snake-oil salesmanship).

This must be how they list books on Facebook groups and such. I'm seeing more and more unfamiliar names listing like this here.

If you are trying to suck in rubes, n00bs and new "investors," it is an effective technique

This book is also listed for sale in other places (Facebook for one).

Bring back LTPC!

 

Things at least seemed much less tense where there was some sort of Board "game" going on.
