Which Ebay Purchase Were You Most Pleasantly Surprised With?

[skybolt]

I realize that most of us (including myself) have been burned on many occassions with our Ebay or dealer purchases. However, I'm sure there was at least one purchase that exceeded your expectations.

 

The one that comes to mind is when I won this Thrilling Comics on Ebay about 6 months ago. The book was described as VG- with only a small scan provided. I was extremely pleased when I received the book in the mail and back from CGC:

There was a couple. Back when I used to collect Four Colors A gene Autry #66 and I love Lucy #535 (#1) I had over 400 Mid to hi grade books, and had to sell them all.

I wish I could remember.

 

I've got all my transactions saved on my computer, so I'll definitely go back and check it out. I do remember leaving them a terrific feedback though.

Found it. It was "comicsbymike"

[Silver Surfer]

Thought I got this one for nothing.

 

 

Just out bid the next bidder by only a few dollars and I didn't think I'd have a chance at it. Even the seller commented that he felt I stole the book.

Gorgeous book.

[skybolt]

Cool books guys

Raw? Getting a FF 57 in VF/NM or so for $25.

 

CGC'd? Getting a Fantastic Four 6 CGC 6.5 W for $405.

[*paull*]

Possibly my copy of Weird Mysteries #2 in CGC 3.5 for a little over $100. Metro has a similar copy for over $300.

I bought an Amazing Spider-Man #86 that was advertised as a raw 9.2 on ebay. The book is a 9.6.

[Jeffreykli]

I bought a San Diego Comic-Con #2 raw off of eBay for $30 or so before the Hellboy movie. Came back as a 9.8 from CGC, and I flipped it just before the movie opening for $600.

[143ksk]

Described as "in good condition." More like a VF- or so. Paid $13 which was less than the GD 2.0 Overstreet.

 

[shrunkenhead]

Possibly my copy of Weird Mysteries #2 in CGC 3.5 for a little over $100. Metro has a similar copy for over $300.

 

I remember that, that was a great buy! Kinda wish I'd gone for it, but I'm glad you got it.

 

 

This has to be the best deal on a single book I ever got on ebay. Nabbed for $128, holy mother! What major dealer would even let you hold this slab for that price?

 

 

 

 

Also, about a year ago I bought a big lot of bronze stuff off a guy for about $85 and some change. A week later, I flipped 'em all at my LCS for half guide and took in $500.

I'll expand the question to purchases. I've gotten several batches of NMMT comics (Wolverine #1, GI Joe #1) from a dealer that were actually NMMT.

I was pleased with this one in that I bought it for about $200 or so (from Heritage)and did pretty well on it a few years later. Nothing huge, but roughly guide, give or take a few bucks. OTOH, it was the highest in the census, so who knows, maybe my buyer will double his money too in a couple of years.

One of my best buys.

I got this one for $10.00, it was described as NM. I like Black Bolt covers so I took a chance. Sent it in to CGC and was pleased with the results. One of my best buys on ebay.

 

 

One of my not so best buys.

I was dissappointed when this came back from CGC.
