Panzera Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 I am looking foward to this. Maybe someone with deep pockets will step in and bid 1500 a book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icefires Posted September 19, 2007 Author Share Posted September 19, 2007 you sound like a seller...... Yes Panzera, you certainly do sound like a seller. The 9.8's in this Comiclink auction are not the hot 100 page books....In fact I would have to classify them as real yawners (makes me tired just thinking about them I personally would not go higher than $600 for any of them. Obviously there people out there who might pay more than me, but $1,500 . Hell, $1,000 is for these titles. But what do I know? By the way, no one has ever paid $1,500 for a DC 100 pager outside of Love Stories #5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sterlingcomics Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Panzera - If the "big four" don't bid, you may not see $400. Now must be a good time for me to join the 100 page melee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icefires Posted September 20, 2007 Author Share Posted September 20, 2007 you sound like a seller...... This Comiclink auction is a no reserve auction, yes? If I'm a seller, why wouldn't I place a bid on my own book for the minimum price I am willing to sell it for, effectively creating a "reserve"? Second, the thing I hate about the registry is that anyone (like Panzera) can see what books I need. What is to stop a seller with knowledge of who needs what from driving the price up higher by bidding on his own books? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why it extremely stupid to advertise what you need in this hobby...especially with something like the registry.

As far as punishment bidding, I think joker and greggy (and maybe panzera if he is the seller) will punish each other just fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jokersrevenge Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 there are two sides though. If someone tells me in a p.m. they need a certain book, usually, I won't bid on it....unless it's batman 238...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget, you can also obfuscate the registry so it can be helpful as a tracking/inventory tool without "Gloating" to anyone about your collection.

True...but most just throw it all up and then talk about overpaying for what they're missing...or just overpay to further spice up their listings. Don't get me wrong...they're your comics and do whatever you want. But I bet it's cheaper to stay pretty mum about the whole thing until you finish the run... And yeah...I still get a kick out of that Olivia animation... Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
