Whats the most you've spent to win an Ebay auction

[Ares]

I was wondering what was the most you spent to win an auction.

I just won a lot of 18 silver age X-men which will fill the hole in my collection a lot.

An aditional 10 were british pence editions.

 

I am trying to figure out did I overpay.

$260 is the most i spent on an auction win.

 

although i did attempt a serious snipe bid of $2426 with 5 seconds on an auction, only to be the 2nd highest bidder to SNE on an X-Men 1 CGC 9.4 SP.

 

i may exceed that bid with a snipe bid on sunday...

Re: I am trying to figure out did I overpay.

 

Not sure how this will help your dilemma, but the most I spent at one time was $522.28 for a VF copy of Green Lantern 5, Justice League 3 and 5 in Fine+ and a Justice League 22 in VF.Done in Oct./01. Guide at the time was around $800.00 and I do remember the bidding on these was fierce.

 

As far as determining whether you over-bid or not, depends more on what you paid versus condition. You probably did all right as it is very difficult not to get a good deal on e-bay. I mean as long as you get what was represented anyway.

 

The best deal I got was a Journey Into Mystery that looked awful on the sell sight, but I had a strong suspicion I could flatten it out easily with no creases. I got the book for $240.27 and I grade it today as a solid VF, which guides currently at $502.00.

the most at one time was 598.00 for a Hulk #181 and X-men 94 combo, both in VF condition raw. had them slabbed, here they are

BTW they were both graded pretty acurately by the seller.

BTW part 2. I just learned that image thing and i am pretty charged up to use it.

Issues 7 - 18 guide at more than you paid for the entire lot, so you did good. If you're still in doubt, check my signature line.

I bid on that today just before I went to help my dad out.

I was suprised to come back tonight to see I wasn't sniped.

[PovertyRow]

Best I can remember was 320 sometihng for a CGC Fine- Mister Mystery 13.

[greggy]

I sniped a guy for a Super DC Giant S-21 issue once for over $400. However, I ended up selling it for $600 because the runner-up EMAILed me and offered me that $$, as he needed it to complete his run.

[BronzeBruce13]

$3,200 for my Hulk 181 9.6 White.

I remember being openly mocked for the purchase at the time as I think I broke my previous record of $2550 for my previous 9.6. I think Gene told me a dealer friend he knew was laughing at the stupidity of the buyer (me). I sold it for $5k last month.

Do you mean just the most on eBay? I don't trust buying upper-priced items off eBay unless it's a national dealer, or a known eBay seller. The most I will (and have) spent on an eBay auction is 2k which I spent on an ASM 19 CGC 9.4

$250 BIN for an VF+ GS X-Men #1 about 4 months ago or the $200 BIN on the mystery SA/BA long box about 5 months ago.

the most i spent was about 3 years or so ago i paid $2000 for amaz fantasy#15 4.5 with ultimate spiderman #1cgc9.4 and 2-11 and about 75 different comics he threw in with it.

[seank]

On comics? About $80 for a Jumbo 80. I'm still working my way up to being a high roller.

[THE_BEYONDER]

Used the BIN of $750.00 for my HULK 181. Aside from that book, I rarely go above $200.00 for any given book....

[COI]

$3800 for a VF/NM Avengers #1.

[Polyphemus]

What was in the box?

[Ares]

Now I dont feel so bad. Im not the only one to spend that kind of cash.

[ninanina]

Yup, we're all just as crazy as you are and loving it.
