I think they are now easier to remove than they used to be. If it works than that sounds good. I think I've tried it at least once. But I'm serious about the magic of olive oil. I get most of the paper off and the olive oil takes the glue residue right off. In Rome they used rub it all over their bodies than scrape it off with a special tool. Clean as a whistle those Romans. Clink will put their stickers on anything. Professor K 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody just might be pissed off at the other bidder and won't stop until he beats him. You can often tell when it's shill bidding if a book gets pumped early and has more bids than other books . Like I said, my books always sit with minimal bids and low prices compared to other equal books in the same actions. On 8/31/2023 at 10:49 PM, MatterEaterLad said: This is very true. Years ago, Me and RMI High Tech kept bidding against each other in various auctions, always going after the same high grade DD books. He knew it was me. I knew it was him. We'd confirm that via email from time to time, talking about how high we would or would not go. Price fixing. Mods notified.

Somebody just might be pissed off at the other bidder and won't stop until he beats him. It doesn't even need that drama. If FMV for a book is say, $1000, all it takes is one person that really wants the book and will bid up to $1500 on it while another person really really wants it really bad and is willing to bid it up to $1501+. Now you have a book going for over 50% of FMV just because 2 people wanted it bad enough - maybe to complete a run, maybe just because they wanted the comic, etc. And for some of these keys or GA comics, you probably get that. Now imagine people who are multi-millionaires or billionaires bidding on some comics that couldn't care about the difference between $10,000 and $25,000, and that's where the crazy begins. lol.
