Sanity in Question but Outbid Anyway!

[Hepcat]

What's the most you've ever bid on a single comic up for auction but then been outbid anyway?

 

 

For me it was bidding $7500 for a NM copy of Flash Comics #92 with the Black Canary cover.

I might have broken $35 on a Marvel Masterworks...

I regularly bid a few thousand dollars on 10K+ auctions...

 

Yes I admit it, I'm a thrill-bidder

$6 + $3 shipping on a darkhawk #14? not much but sheesh.

You're just frugal

Sounds saner than $8300 for a NM- Flash #123, but then again I never get used to the prices that pre-1965 Silver in high grade seem to command.

 

Personally, I get outbid constantly for the reason that I refuse to put insane bids on anything - sometimes to my regret, when a few years later that "insane" bid ends up looking like a bargain.

I hear ya. I bet $12K on an AF15 book that sold for $21K. Not even close.

How much did the book go for? Oh yeah, for me it was $3K for a TTA #43 9.4.

There was a Hulk #1 CGC 8.0 on comiclink for $12,000 about a year ago. I hit the BIN hours after it came on. Apparantly there were 3 or 4 people ahead of me that did the same thing. And a few after.

No more than $200 on golden age and I'm usually relieved when someone out-bids me.

3001.00 for a beat up Amazing man #5(1) went for alittle over 5000.00

The mag ended up going for $8500 - plus the 19.5% buyer's premium.
