How bout if I sell these books for a $1?

[Timulty]

Okay, I am there.

You will probably be able to sell the sub $1000 comics. The high dollars stuff(GL 1 for example) will probably not move. Ebayers are notoriously cheap. Also, your low feedback, will not attract normal ebay buyers. Those board members who know of you on the other hand...Well, I am kinda surprised the GL 1 doesn't have any bids at all. Not even thrill bids.

I so know that. E-bay is terrible for high end items. I was SHOCKED when I sold the Superman #2 for $15,500 through E-bay. But as it was only $0.10 to list even a reserve item, nothing to lose! Good publicity at least. Can't do much about the feedback until more people buy!!!! But I do have "bio" info through that ME function so people can check me out.

Happy New Year!!!

the g lanern will definetly not sale at that price.... thats a heritage/ comic link price... not a ebay price..but hey its 10 cwnt listing day. so not much loss to you. good luck they are all great books

[Thegoldenage]

Ebayers are pretty cheap, but they will pay big on certain books. Reform School Girl, Phantom Lady 17 and certain other eye candy books seem to sell very well.

 

Good luck with your auctions!

I harbor no illusions concerning the likelihood this book will sell on e-bay at this price. It is certainly possible on the right day with the right buyer, but e-bay is not a good market for this high a price (which I think is fair, it is just at guide). But, as you note, $0.10 listing day. The publicity for people just looking at that book and then checking out my other auctions or website is well worth it.

 

And if, holy cow, it sells, fantastic! I never thought my Superman #2 CGC 8.0 would sell on E-bay for $15,500. I posted it simply for the publicity. Yet someone, not accustomed to buying on E-bay just happened to see it and decide "I want it".

[Silver Surfer]

Nice books Mark. Still waiting for more Timely, Atlas books.

[Sal]

for the free shipping on high dollar books. that's a good practice to get in to, i think

[Scheradon]

Is that the same Mad #1 that was sold on Heritage for $28,000 just awhile back? I was so wishing I had the dough for that one. Did pick up a #22 9.2 for $375 though.

Probably. It was $32k with the BP. There is another CGC 9.8 copy up for sale in the next Heritage auction, as well as a CGC 9.6!!! It will be very interesting to see how much those go for.

 

When I bought mine there was a reserve and I simply hit it, as far as I recall. Not sure if there are reserves on these two.

[Scheradon]

Ya, that darn Heritage BP. I was surprised it went so cheap really. I'll have to stick to my 3.0 #1 until my numbers come in

Could be. Maybe I should just buy them all and corner the market!
