it means starting bid was that price but he took best offer early so the price they show is the starting bid price

OK.   That would make sense on those.

Market is crashing. The realization that there are probably a half a million copies of this book out there means everyone who wants or needed one already has one. Thus, market crash. Plus, negative aspects of the cover include:

-63% of the cover is red text with the number 300

- its not a newsstand? Yuck dont want it

- Spidey has clearly morphed into a puppy and looks like he is trying to scratch his ear with his hind leg

- first Venom? Did you not see his hand two issues earlier or his full image in the previous issue? Third time seeing this chump in a comic, boooorrrring

-the subliminal messaging in the webbing is an insult to readers...how rude Todd, why would I want to own this book now?

I posted this on Friday, not sure how it ended up in a thread of its own...

I did not click on your links, however...

I am not sure what you are looking at, I just went to eBay and checked "Sold/Completed" sales, "Auctions" only and the least expensive book I found was $212.00 (going back to Nov.1) with 26 bids for a Raw ASM 300 which may have graded at a VG/FN 5.0 if not for 1/5th of the back cover missing which to me drops the book to a minimum GD 2.0 if not a FR/GD 1.5.

The lowest graded CGC book was a VG- 3.5 that sold for over $400.00

When looking at eBay to try to determine FMV you have to look at Auctions with a decent amount of bidders (a minimum of 5 separate bidders), being sure that the price was not artificially inflated due to a bidding war, YES, you may find some of the same books that sell for less and others that sell for more, there is no set number/value, you have to come up with an average to determine FMV.
