I'm always glad when two guys are crazier than me. Now I can get the little lady a nice Valentine's gift instead. flowerred.gif

 

You're not the only person who can afford a gift for the little lady!

Not sure who ebayer "bodhee" was, but he's getting some sweet books sent his way!

 

Fantastic results on those auctions! Congrats! headbang.gif

 

Thanks! They did much better than I thought. I'm shipping the 31,40 and 44 to the same person - I'm going to send them out registered mail just to be the very safest. smile.gif

HA - I was just about to post a link to that MM 92 on the thread that first brought it to light - wondering what folks thought of the $13,000 original asking price.

 

To be fair 10K is less than 3X 9.2 guide for a 9.6 pedigree copy, so while not exactly a bargain, compared to SA multiples for a 9.6 it seems downright reasonable.

Sold this copy, graded NM, about 8 years ago for 2K.

 

For some reason, this book is fairly common is high grade. I have had at least 8-9 high grade copies over the years.

Is this a good case against selling through the marketplace here and accepting private offers and for keeping with ebay and using the boards with a bit of marketing? I don't know for sure, but I'm betting that no private offers even came close to those great closing prices, even with ebay fees. Anyone have any recent figures for those books?

The highest offers I received privately were $1375 for the 40+44 on these boards, and the highest "outside of ebay" offer I got was for $3000 for all 4 books. I think for books that have a wide audience (Timely collectors, WWII cover collectors, Schomburg collectors, Classic cover collectors) it might be best to let them ride on ebay.

 

Good observation Vince.
