Lee B. Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 There are comments once in a while on these boards that eBay is a wasteland/flea market/general mess in terms of original comic book art. I used to troll eBay daily looking for deals, but I don't have the time or patience myself anymore. However, I do hear about what seem like great eBay "buy-it-now" deals once in a while, so I thought I would create a thread to discuss these instances (for example, are these actually good deals?). I am going to start off with a couple of BINs that have occurred his month. I'm not including links, but I will share images and BIN prices. Please feel free to share any deals you come across, especially if you were too late to the party, like I almost always am. Cheers, Lee Iron Man #300 cover--$1,100 BIN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hekla Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Not recent (maybe 2 years ago?), but there was a Neal Adams Teen Titans non-action panel page with Robin and Speedy that (IIRC) sold for $400. It sold in the >1 minute between me noticing the auction and switching tabs to confirm that Adams worked on that issue. Lee B. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vodou Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Kerry Gammill's Marvel Fanfare #32 cover. BIN $86 11/06/2013. I was a few hours late and saw it under sold items. At the time Burkey had the companion Gammill #31 cover for $3k. Twanj 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without looking up the artist I'd peg that IM cover at $6500-8500. More depending on artist, if it's not Tom Morgan (as I suspect it is). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGEAR12 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 The 300 is Kevin Hopgood I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More depending on artist, if it's not Tom Morgan (as I suspect it is). It’s by Kevin Hopgood and no, not worth near that much. But worth more than $1100. IIRC, last three Hopgood IM covers sold in 2013/2014 for about $1.5k to $2k each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I purchased this cover back in early '14 and I can assure you that it cost me more than $86! At the time, I thought I was getting the better end of the deal. But I see now that the seller did well, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumur Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 I used to do the search BIN OA ebay thing three times a day and have come away with some great deals over the years. I haven't even used that saved search in probably 4 or 5 years. I stopped when dealers started flooding that search with their lower end stuff and it just became too much to go through every day and not worth my time. That being said, for someone with the patience, I am sure the odd great deal still pops up from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eewwnuk Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 i snagged a full book from my all time favorite artist on ebay a few years ago at a pretty attractive price. for me ebay continues to be worth the effort as you find the occasional mispriced or mislabeled art deal. http://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1202555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At HA or on a big name site for perhaps 2-3 months sit and then SOLD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alxjhnsn Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I just went back and looked. I've used BIN once. Actually, I didn't use it, my wife did to get me an anniversary present. Bob Bolling's Little Archie - good stuff in my opinion. $325 + $15 S/H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
