lou_fine Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 (edited) On 8/24/2023 at 4:38 AM, whomerjay said: However, once you factor in buyer fee for original purchase, then seller fee for this sale, what is the actual net? Well, since the buyer's fee is already included in the original $10,500 purchase price and the 15% seller's fee somehow comes out to slighlty less than a 10% auction fee for the consignor, it looks like the seller should clear over $15K for his Promise copy of Cap 2 meaning a net profit of over $4,500 or over 43% on his original purchase price.

whomerjay Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 My first Promise. Put in a lowball bid and went to bed an hour before auction ended. To me the 2021 price on this was a bit bonkers.

I don't know if @MasterChief is still tracking Promise re-sales; it seems like there might be too many to keep track of a this point. The Promise grading was soft, but I'm seeing that soft grading on non-pedigree books now, too. The staple tears on the Boy 28 bugged me a bit, but they're not as bad as the ones on the non-pedigree 9.4 Tec 179 that's on Heritage right now. I cannot believe that CGC graded that book 9.4 or even 9.2. I could see 9.0 if it was perfect otherwise. (It isn't.) MasterChief 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatNerdyCanuck Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Was really hoping to see any of the Crimes by Women pop up for resale. Half want to buy one for myself, half want to see if they'd sell for lower than original like most of the other promise stuff selling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lou_fine Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Just took a look at Heritage's Promise Collection retreads coming back into the marketplace and all I can is that our own @MasterChief is going to be pretty busy with updating that spreadsheet of his since there's some 70 Promise Collection books or thereabouts hitting the auction block in the next month or so: https://comics.ha.com/c/search-results.zx?No=50&Nty=1&Ntk=SI_Titles-Desc&N=1060+793+794+791+1893+792+2088&Ntt=promise+collection&limitTo=all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MasterChief Posted September 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 11, 2023 Update! As we approach the next Signature Auction loaded with Promises, here's a quick update since June indexing 18 books sold on several platforms. A total of 214 Promises liquidated over an 18 month period since divestiture began. Net loss continues to hover at -26%. PS. I've also captured books that previously sold, which I missed, that were brought to my attention. Thanks to those that provided info. Data sorted oldest to newest Sale Date.
