No, but I have seen him post large batches of nice Golden Age books in the past. However, this selling, then relisting, then marking sold, and private bidding...not a good look. Though I have not been dealing in GA that long -- definitely not as long as many on this forum -- as of late it seems to have become extremely cutthroat, dubious, and rife with drop-ship type consumers.

Ricksneatstuff Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I tried for all of them but came up short. I saw the relisted then ended GS 13, which was a unicorn. Hopefully some of you guys got them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it has. A lot of people in for the short term small profit. Prices are nuts now. I have slowed down a lot of the better Atomic Age stuff. Luckily, I bought most of it years ago and don't need much anymore. The hobby used to be a lot more fun... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changer Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 I too tried but didnt go high ... worrying the private listing might be a sinkhole Point Five 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manetteska Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Since eBay partially masks bidders' info, what is the point for a seller to do private bidding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Love Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Really on items at this price point, none. But theoretically it can run cover for shill bidding. One might be less inclined to go all in if you see you're up against bidders with very little (or no) feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One might be less inclined to go all in if you see you're up against bidders with very little (or no) feedback. But doesn't it also go the other way? People are usually less inclined to bid if they see hidden/private bidders b/c of the shill assumption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post comicnoir Posted August 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 9, 2019 Let me shed some light on this. I won the GS 13 and the DS 11. When I tried to pay, ebay wouldn't let me, saying I would have to lose one of the purchases. It still didn't work. Dave called ebay the next day but no go. Ebay couldn't fix it. Dave told me he set it up as a BIN with my final hammer price. I tried but it didn't work. I go to the boards and find a link to the auctions on this thread. I put in 2 bids. When I go back to my emails, it tells me I've won the auctions. I have no explanation for this and since I got what I wanted, I didn't query Dave any more. Throughout Dave was courteous, patient and friendly. I hope he posts more of his magnificent books. The DS was an upgrade, while I have been on the hunt for a GS 13 ever since I foolishly sold my original low grade copy that I bought for $5.00, a long time ago.

MBFan Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 It wasn't me, but someone got a great deal today when they paid just $10 for a nice copy of Pictorial Romances #8. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Pictorial-romances-8-Matt-Baker-nice-condition-/283575717728?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&nma=true&si=5%2FNoyotrwaIpI2Y9UdQHXkA2vtM%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
