Action #1 on Ebay

[drice6900]

Under an hour left, 26 bids, $38,650...

[scupbucket]

It's the suspense that kills me...

 

 

[Aman619]

hey, is this the Gepi Museum copy???

[Scheradon]

Check out the retracted bid here:

Finally an example of someone legitimately entering the wrong bid amount. Just got a little carried away with the zeros I guess.

[kenglo]

songster66 would have won the book for sure

 

If I had 50-70,000 burning a hole in my pocket that is what I would bid

[Scheradon]

Almost at $40 grand with about 6 minutes left...

[Timulty]

$47,035.00 Takes it.

 

Edit: So does that mean that an unrestored version of this book at 7.0 is worth approximately 94K?

 

Edit(again): Sorry about that, looked at the description again its a 5.0. Man, that seems freaky. Anyone got guide on this in 5.0?

Not a bad deal on a clean - if moderately restored - copy of the mother of all books. Not my bag, but certainly not an everyday piece of pulp.

 

Shep

[Aman619]

I think its a good deal cause zaq was willing to pay only a thousand less...

cheaper than paying the markup would have been....

Maybe one nEeds To know who the gloRious zaq is tO understand this statement.

And who is Zaq?

[ShoNuff-migration]

Oh, that would explain why I didn't get it. I don't know who it is either.

I GOT IT ! I GOT IT !! - Blazzing Saddles...

Ok, ok, now I get it. I thought he was hinting the buyer is one of those people that uses random capital letters in their eBay listings. I didn't realize he was being more obvious than that.

[mrwoogieman]

Actually, I've been to several comic book auctions here on Long Island and I've seen both Metro and Steve Ritter pay ALOT more for quality stock than I ever expected a dealer to pay.

 

They are willing to shell it out and work on a profit margin that is a far cry from what people who bad-mouth comic book dealers as shysters stealing from old ladies would ever give them credit for.

 

Their willingness to pay for good material at these shows outstrips the finances of many of the collectors who attend these auctions, and certainly puts someone like me out of the running (someone like me being 'can I double my outlay reselling on ebay?') every time.

Edit(again): Sorry about that, looked at the description again its a 5.0. Man, that seems freaky. Anyone got guide on this in 5.0?

 

I can't believe judeloo wasn't in the bidder's list. Is his computer down?

 

BTW, is it just me or does this book look much better than a 5.0? Granted it's not a huge scan, but I've seen worse looking GA 8.0s.
