Gee...nice pricing..

Was going to mail this guy an offer to buy this ASM 95 , but I didn't realize his starting price was 425 dollars! You can get a 9.6 for this price. Guess he thinks VERY highly of the Pacific Coast pedigree..

Maybe that's his break even point, as he bought it direct from Robert Roter?

hmm..too true. I don't even check his website anymore.

I've only looked at it once and it was enough! However, it good for looking at DC covers, as I doubt anyone will pay his prices for his books!

Why? He's only asking 10K for his Batman #171.

 

Seeing as how a 9.2 just sold for around $700-$800, I think his pricing structure is a little off.

Yep...I don't even bother looking at his books at the San Diego con. I don't know why he really shows up, as I don't think he ever sells anything. To illustrate how ridiculous his prices are, he priced a Dark Mansion of Forbidden Love 1 CGC 9.4 WP for $1,500 two years ago in San Diego. Hell, gman only wanted around $750 for his copy. Also, I saw a 9.2 at the Mint's table last year for $300. I guess he makes enough $$ from his consignment sales!

Are any of his books still consigned? Maybe it's not all him, he could have some really nutty consignors?

My guess would be he goes to showcase his books mostly. He obviously is investing/collecting in some of this stuff, and prices it into the stratosphere because he really dosen't want to sell. You have to admit though, that those aren't books that are easily replaceable, or replaceable at all.. I just think he should keep them in a "gallery" and not bother pricing them, if he really isn't too interested in selling now.

I'm sure that he still takes consignment but I'm sure most of the crazy prices are set by him!

Freaking hilarious! Even in your anecdotes you manage to slide a few jabs in.

True, so true. Perhaps a travelling or internet comic museum would be appropriate.
