"I'm not saying it was aliens, but it was aliens".  The funny thing for me is that I have a friend (who coincidentally has a twin brother) who looks almost identical to the guy above. |

I was originally suspicious that this book was placed in that thread just to get everyone all worked up, but I was glad to learn it was legit. It'll be fun to watch where the bidding goes.

Just imagine how much it would go for if it had exceptionally white pages...

I was too initially. But it's totally legit. Looks like it has a good chance at beating the current record price...but who knows. I agree, should be fun to watch.  |

If you had told anyone in the early 90s that a mid-grade Pep #22 would sell for a hundred thousand dollars (and almost certainly more), you would have been laughed out of the building. This is a book that had a 1990 Fine OPG value of $665. Yes, a mere three digits. Of course...good luck finding one.  |

Although this will be Snipe City, it's starting to move. 9 days left. I am sure that there will be a lot of attempted sniping on this book, but the book is being auctioned thru CC.Not that you aren't aware of this, Ditch. But below are the precautions against sniping that CC takes, IMO, this is a huge advantage for sellers, dunno WTF ComicLink ,MCS and all other auction sites do not have similiar software in place. " ------------------------------ Each Event Auction lot's given end-time is spaced 1 minute apart. Any new bid placed during the final 3 minutes of a given auction lot will extend the lot's end-time in an increment of 3 minutes from the time the bid was placed. For example, if an auction lot that is scheduled to end at 8:10 PM receives a new bid at 8:09 PM, the lot's end time will extend to 8:12 PM. After a lot has not received any new bids for 3 minutes, the lot will end, hammering at the winning bid. An auction lot that has not received any new bids before it ends will hammer at it's scheduled end time. For example an auction lot that is scheduled to end at 8:10 PM will not be extended, providing that no additional bids are placed after 8:07 PM. " |

Both hard and soft end auctions are legitimate, and both have their reasons for doing so. The people who have a problem with sniping do so almost universally because they have been sniped, and are upset about it. If you bid the most you're willing to pay...whether it's the first second of the listing, or the last....you will never walk away from an auction dissatisfied. I used to have a problem with sniping, too. It made me angry. It once made me so angry, I dashed off a snarky message to the winner (back when eBay was an open book in terms of sharing users' information.) Their response? "Learn how to bid, chump. Stop being so cheap, and you might win something." I'm paraphrasing, but that's basically the gist. It was the best advice I ever got. There is nothing whatsoever to suggest, statistically speaking, that sellers are adversely affected OVER TIME by bidders sniping hard end auctions. It's just another of the "it's not FAIR!!" crowd complaining because they couldn't steal a deal. |
