High bidder on the Tec 38 at $4

someone out bid you  

Well I'm out. Threw in $500 but still not enough to beat the other guy. He must have gone ballistic.

I'll just be a spectator now

Even worse, my $4 bid on the Tec 38 3.0. What the heck ?

what is so special about Detective 38?  Don't they normally go for $3 on eBay?  

All the time. Confused. I think it's a variant copy.

It was probably Chicago Boy again. I tell ya, the lad has a sick fetish.

I'm not saying what I am really chasing in this auction, mostly because I don't want to be embarrassed when I lose.

Action 1 has already left the stratosphere.  It's only at about half where it will end up at.

Good luck with your consignments.

Thanks, it's going to be a long 24 days. I sent the stuff in at least 3 months ago, I had no idea it took so long,

But he’s a Cap man in disguise!

I'm saying 300+ given this copy Richard won. Less resto, no trim

So I just received a notice from CC that they've just shipped the books I won... back in mid-June.

Quick to invoice, (very) slow to ship.     

I just got mine too!

Nothing like stellar customer service to keep people coming back! 

No, I think the idea is that they hope you'll simply get tired of waiting for the books and decide to reconsign it to them just in time for their next Event Auction.

I could see this one touching $350 K...very nice.

I think this is the 3rd big run of GA Flash I've seen that didn't have a copy of 96 in the mix. 

Just shows how tough it is to find a copy of this book. It is almost certainly the scarcest in the run.

First time I've consigned anything to them, so I hope it's a great auction.

Remember not to lose hope if the bids on your books appear low for the first few weeks.

After all, with CC's auction format in play, most of the action on the more in-demand books tends to take place when the 3-minute buzzer goes off.

Yeah, it’s the most scarce (can say that with some confidence). Very challenging mainstream book. 

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

My consignments are sitting at 25% of what the final hammer should be. I guess when there’s so much time left(3 weeks!), bidders are in no big hurry.

BTW, CC still owes me a not insignificant sum  of $ from last auction. I guess some bidders are just slower to pay than others . . .

CC's obligation to pay you shouldn't be conditional on when bidders have paid.  They should pay you on the scheduled payment date and bear the credit risk of bidders.  It's their job as the auction house to have done due diligence on the persons they allow to become bidders.  That's just unacceptable.

The high grade Phantom Ladies are off to great start... lot of excited bidders pushing them up pretty fast.

I see the 17 as a 100k+ book, but am curious to see how high the ridiculous 9.6s go, especially the 22... in my limited experience  probably the hardest issue to find, but also the worst cover of the Fox run.  Still what an amazing copy ... white pages too.  

They seem to be the one of the Main Events in this auction (along with the Action 1 and Church Cap Jrs.).

Closing night(s) will be a barn burner for sure.

I predict the PL #17 will go for $167K.
