But anyone willing to pay more than $10K for a book has probably done some research on prices so maybe in the absence of available copies in this grade the buyer, at least, saw it as a good deal.

 

On your general point, selective quoting of GPA data is bothersome.

 

I assumed this was the case (the bolded). Anyone in the market for a 5 figure book has an idea of what s/he wants to pay for the book in a variety of grades. And with few sales, and very little ever hitting the market you strike when you get the chance.

 

I doubt the GPA info actually factored into the sale, it was just a 5 figure example of selective data mining to fit price justification (at least that's how it was presented).

 

GPA was of little or no help with many of my past Action purchases. I went by what I was willing to pay. The entire run has been sold, and I was happy with what I received for it.

Chew 1-12 all first prints for .25/ea. Not a Tec 27 but still a decent score.

With that profit margin, he could at least offer free shipping.

Well, at least he's not asking the buyer to cover his PP fees.

So...what's new??

 

Haven't looked at or thought about comics for a while......Just spent 4 hours going thru 20 boxes to see if I have anything worth a damn. Not sure I do but I had a good time.

I suppose, now that Stan has signed every comic once, this is the next logical step...

I'm sure the restoration outcome was a bummer, I think the double sig wouldnt have been that bad if he hadn't partially signed over the first sig!

Why not get him to sign it on the inside? Or why not just be happy with the green label you'd get from the first sig?

[miraclemet]

wouldnt it have just gotten a straight purple with a "stan lee written on cover" notation?

Dunno. I thought sigs they knew were legit but hadn't witnessed got the green label. But you're probably right. And I suppose yellow with a purple stripe brings in more cash than straight purple, even with tons of mush twixt Shellhead's legs.

[FineCollector]

Am I the only one thinking this could use more color touch, but this time to cover the 2nd signature? Only question is, which one did they authenticate?

[Speedy-D]

I'm still hung up on why not go for the second sig on the interior. Or on the back even...

doing that exact move with a book of mine. unverified sig on the front, multiple verified sigs on the back (it has a big white space perfect for sigs). I'll get mid-grade yellow (since the front sig is a defect) but I dont care.

[FineCollector]

I've just been reading about a PM sale go bad, and the question put forth is why anyone should begrudge a dealer for turning a profit. In my opinion, making a local find entitles you to set your asking price, you did the work. However, buying a book from one boardie to jack up the price and flip to another boardie seems like bad form. The pool is small enough as it is.

 

More than that, though, after listening to bickering back and forth, I just find I want to deal with fewer and fewer people on the boards. Anyone else get that freeling?
