Split this up now!

Surely this would get so much more money if it were split? I know it takes a lot more effort, but the amount this could bring in:

 

Hoarder on EBAY

If you look at his feedback, you'll see where he's getting all the comics in his collection. When he refers to selling over $5000 on eBay, he refers to having six Hulk 181's and selling them in two batches. He sold the three Hulk 181's in Feb 2003 and said in the auction that it was his last three Hulk 181's ( Auction # 2160143967 )

 

By April 2003, less than two months later, he has managed to purchase another 15 copies in various conditions which he lists in his current auction.

That is one hell of a Marvel hoard . . . . too bad when I was looking in my couch cushions for some spare change I couldn't come up with the $74K to buy it now . . .

What in God's name are you guys ogling? Is this some kind of Battle Fatigue? TJenitalia would have a better chance of playing "pick-up sticks" with his butt-cheeks than anyone would in trying to get back HALF of their $74K front money for this load of manure. Read between the lines. It's one of those "these books would be worth $.33 Million IF in NM" deals. The AF 15 is useless. It's the same scan of the of the same AF15 with the painted cover that hasn't sold on Ebay, for PEANUTS, in over 5 attempts, and then look at the grades on the other "Keys" (and in reality, you know as well as I do...the VGs are Gs, the Fines are VGs, etc., AT BEST). Bust out the calculator and do some hard calculating. It's garbage at 1/2 the Buy It Now Price.

Hey Ham!

 

Don't beat around the bush, man. Tell us what you really think of this "treasure chest in a gold mine" listing.

Hammer -

I don't know, it is not a great deal but it is not that far off either. After a quick look, it seems that the collection is worth $50k, maybe even $60k. If his reserve is $35-40K, it might not be a bad deal to make some money on. That is , of course, his grading is half way accurate. I think people ,like yourself, would be less optimistic about the collection because your books are so high grade ( I am amazed at the books you find, I've never seen anything like it.)

But we will never know what this collection really is , the set is never going to sell.

I don't know about you guys, but I already put an offer in for the 15 or more HULK 181's in the likely event that this auction ends early. I wonder which copy I should read first....?
