What's the best deal you ever got on a great GA book ?

[ciorac]

Someone bought a lot on eBay the other night that I just missed. I think it went for $35.00 and had an All Winners 1 in it! Did anyone else see that one?

 

$35.

 

I was stunned! I saw it right at the top of the latest listings, it said something like "Lot of vintage comics" or something like that. BIN for $35. I clicked on it and it had just been BIN'ed. In the picture was a Detective in the 40's I believe and an All Winners 1 with a major spine roll. It made me think the CF might be out, but for $35 who cares?

 

Found the auction

Wow! Gotta be one of the best ebay deals I've seen. A few months ago someone in General started a thread about the low grade Cap #52 he bought on ebay for $50. It was not listed in a comic section, I believe.

My best deal on a GA comic was on ebay about 5 years ago when I was able to win PEP COMICS #22 in an unrestored VF condition. Stunning copy.. I paid $3600 for it. I wonder what it would go for now

Has this book arrived yet? When are you going to post it?

[spoonerism]

Damn. Looks like the guy re-listed.

Hmm. Actually, it looks like the place is an eBay Quick-drop shop. SHowcase -- how did they handle this with you on your end?

Ouch, that sucks. Looks like Showcase should have played his cards closer to his chest.

My guess is that someone probably e-mailed the seller.

 

NEVE EVER EVER EVER blab here or anywhere else until you actually have the book in hand.

Sorry, Steve.

 

Maybe the seller has a box full of those comics?

Yep. Showcase ruffled some feathers when he first came on here, so it was probably someone who frequents the GA section. If that's the case, pretty low blow.

[Comicdey]

That just plain sux.

[BR-migration]

 

That's just plain mean.

have we heard from steve yet about this?

Maybe Steve did an extremely honorable thing and told the seller that he had an item worth a lot more than his bid. Maybe there was a mutual agreement, if not then would not the seller be legally bound to complete the transaction, or is ebay tilted towards sellers.

[mikephoen]

I believe the seller is legally bound by Ebays terms. I know I'd be calling Ebay, the seller and my lawyer, not necessarily in that order, if I was Steve.

I am Steve, and I did

Good luck with that one.
