Hey Stronguy,

 

Yes, I tried auctioning these guys back in July. I'm fairly new to selling, and back then I think I did about 6 auctions (mainly TMNT & some Amazing Spiderman). 4 of the 6 went well, but the TMNT one (and an A.S.) didn't pan out. For TMNT, the final bid was $870. Played email tag w/ the winner for over a month (he said he needed some time to get the $$). Ultimately, this person ended up closing their account w/ ebay!

 

In hindsight, I shouldn't have given this person so much time, and shoulda made 2nd Chance Offers. I didn't want to get negative feedback from this bidder though. Anyway, I was an auction newbie (still am). So, we'll see how this one goes.

 

As for my current auction's high bidder---who just opened their account, they emailed me saying they may have issues making a purchase---atleast this person was forthright and let me know ahead of time.

 

So we'll see how this auction goes.

hey thecollector,

 

Yeah, I purchased TMNT years ago, and it has been in storage untouched close to 20 years. Always thought of selling this book, and finally decided to this year. Since I am not good at qualifying the book's condition, I decided to get it graded via CGC. I had been watching other TMNTs (graded 8+) go for quite a bit, so I was excited to see what kinda grade I'd get.

 

needless to say, I was a bit disappointed when I saw it get a 6.5. I bought it when I was a kid back in '86. And by eye then (and now), I thought it was in great condition. Anyway, we'll see how it goes.

 

In case you want to see a bigger picture of the comic, I uploaded a cover picture here:

Not the best scan, but a little bigger than the ones I have on the auction.

 

Thanks for the reply.

This comic is 1 of only 3000 that were printed! It started, and continues to be a collector's item. It is a CGC graded 6.5 book.

 

Auction also includes 1st prints of #2-9 & 1st prints of all four "micro-series" issues.

 

Current bid is $500 and ends on sunday 10/22 at 18:00pacific time.

 

You can see the auction here .

 

Hi,

 

I'm not sure if you are getting messages from others, but this thread needs to be put into the Comic Market - Ebay section of the forum. You have listed in General Comics. This is a discussion area of the boards, not a sales area.

 

Thanks!

It looks like one of your zero feedback bidders has a historied interest in TMNT.

As for the lead bidder, if he can't purchase, why haven't you cancelled his bid?

You're only hurting yourself leaving it there, because at least 50% of your potential bidders will be smart enough to recognize it as a likely shill reserve bid. 893scratchchin-thumb.gif
