fairly in line with expectations I thought.  3.5 went for 66k in April so I thought this was a reasonable outcome.

a 5.5 receiving offers of almost 170k last year, so a 5.0 should have fetched more than the 102k

that to me would be more inline especially considering a moderately restored 5.0 copy fetched 36k in the same auction

The Cap 3 was a HUGE shock

That one seemed strong but not sure what others have sold for recently (assuming others have sold recently)

Wow, a Tec27 below guide!

Below guide by about 3K or less than one-half of one percent (if my bio calculator is working probably).  So, basically guide.

But the notes reflected a brittle spine, so that played a part in that abysmal hammer price

And here I thought you were amazed at how high it went.

The red tape on the spine stayed the hand of a bidder or 2

Not sure how I feel. That’s a $50k book otherwise

I sold 8 books today, my first ever live auction Heritage sales.  1 did WAY better than I expected, 1 WAY worse, 3 in line, and 3 stronger than my forecast (but not insanely so).  In aggregate my net results were about 22% higher than the total I predicted yesterday before the auction started.  Ain’t gonna lie, not sure I enjoyed seeing the live auctioneer try to drum up money for my consignments, despite the outcome.  I think I prefer the experience of just logging in later and seeing the results.

It's shocking that anyone even wants those books.

Hopefully there are some light bids tomorrow on the stuff I am watching

Isn't this the same copy that sold for 1.14 million in January 2022?

Someone mentioned that earlier in the thread.

If so, that's a whole other issue.  

With the biggest books being investments if only because of their cost, it begs the question of the relevance of a guide that does not give current values but instead prints them once a year.  Would it impact the sales of some stocks if you were looking to buy, say, Nividia, and you knew there was a book in print which stated its value 11 months ago?
