Um, delekkerste hes trying to flip that X-Men 100 you bid on.

I was cruising around Ebay this evening looking into a few books with some PayPal $$$ burning a whole in my pocket. I will usually low ball bid the books that I really want to watch and put the so-so books into Items Im Watching. After surfing about 30 books I went back and had a look at the sellers of the 4 books I put opener bids on. So I hit the X-men 100 CGC 9.4 http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2183880982&category=33826&rd=1

 

and discovered two things: 1. He/she bought the book very recently, as its still shows in feedback. 2. That you, I assume thats you were the previous bidder.

 

Anyway figured I'd give you the heads up that hes trying to flip it and from my tracking this book for a few months off and on, I've already seen it sell for less than what he paid for it. Regardless, since you bid first, I will stay away, but just wanted you to give you a heads up for when the bidding intensifies, if you decide to venture in there.

Thanks for the heads up...I just put a bid in to "watch" the auction so I can see what the market is doing (most of my bids lately are of that variety, though if I see a potential bargain in the making, I'll throw in a bid near the end), so don't feel restricted from bidding on my part. I certainly won't venture anywhere near where the seller bought the book ($200).

Ya I echo that sentiment, as Ive seen it sell 3 times for under $200 in the past 2-3 months. This book received a nice bump in the guide this year and I think is about right considering the number of copies out there. The variant is another matter..

Here is another watch bid. I love it when a buyer trys to sell a book they won right away. Usually they get much less than what they pay for it and it teaches them that you can't make money that way.

[jbud73]

It sold for $179.00 or about $70.00 less than he paid for it. Unless it was a freind, or another account who recued the book he lost $70 flipping it.

gene im with ya on that i put low bids in when my ebay watch page fills up so i can see how it ends,but if i really want a book i snipe it.

My watch pages fills up too fast with only 30. I think Ebay is going to increase it to 100 or you can just put a watch bid like many buyers/trackers do.

An increase in watch items would be nice... my page is constantly full.
