I was watching but not buying.  There was one book I was interested in but since this is the third time it has sold on one of the auctions I figured I would just watch it again this time.  Some strong prices on Batman's

Batman 2, 9.0 $60500 strong price but it was a high grade

Batman 6, 9.4 $15250 not sure on this one, I thought it would hammer higher

Batman 23, 9.0 $12750, pretty strong

Batman 23, 9.2 $25250, really strong given it was 2x the 9.0 price

Batman 41, 9.6 $11250, really strong compared to previous prices

Batman 53, 9.2 $12250

Batman 71, 9.4 $20250, Wow, just wow

Batman 74, 8.5 $10000, 

Batman 87, 9.4 $15250

Batman 121, 9.4 $80,000 

Great books and not all that outrageous when you consider the crazy prices being paid for low grade copies of Detective 69!

That one didn't meet reserve.

I steer clear of his auctions.  

Why is that? Want to be as familiar as I can with these auction sites, is there a chance of getting ripped off?

Thanks for the correction.  It looked like the Batman's that had reserves did not do too well.  (Batman 12 for example in addition to this #6)

Of course not. Pedigree last "sold" it for much more.

  At least it is the same book in the same holder.

I am to the point where nothing surprises me anymore. Lots of deep pocket buyers from entertainment stars to Saudi Arabian princes.  It seems the GA market continues to be strong.

20 grand for Batman 71? Why?

Because some people can afford to light money on fire...

Yes I too was amazed at those and also the Detective prices...Tec 300 9.6 $18250!

Makes zero sense. 

Makes perfect sense if a certain auction house with a less than reputable Pedigree is the one that's winning all of these outlier auctions, only to have them reappear again a few short months later.......

Who also knows if there is any shill bidding involved given Pedigree's reputation, I mean we see some of the same books auction again and again leaving me to think that something fishy is going on here..

When someone has proven time and time again that they have no moral compass whatsoever, you have to wonder why people would even look.

Because collectors will sell their mothers' soul for the books they need.

Well, it's a long story.  

Some of the other responses in this thread may give you an idea.  You may find out more by searching for previous threads, some dating back years.

True statement.

Wow, that was fast.  I didn't record the final hammer on it.
