Amazing Fantasy #15 Club

Anyone ever look at Craigslist? Allofcraigs is a nifty search engine for CL.

 

Saw a 5.0, and a Hulk 181 for sale there:

 

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/clt/2377928156.html

 

The price is outrageous, but the offers seem okay.

The AF15 price isnt too bad. Last sale for a 5.0 was for just under 9k. I dont know about watches so i have zero clue what that Tag is worth but if its at least a few hundred dollars, thats not too bad a deal.

 

Definitely odd to be selling a AF15 and a watch as a package deal though

 

Tag Heuer's are not that bad of a watch as they are swiss made. Not sure how much the value of the Tag Heuer watch is, but I'm guessing if brand new around $2k.

 

Tag Heuer has a poor resale value. Now, if it included a Rolex submariner or a Rolex yacht master, then a good deal.

 

That is true! Resale values for Rolex's hold! I prefer the vintage submariner or sea dweller models, but one of those plus the cash would be way too much to offer for a 5.0. Not a big fan of the Yacht Master though

 

I prefer Blancpain, the oldest watchmaker in the world (est 1735).

 

No kidding, some of those watches are very expensive.

 

Which one would go first?

Is it just me, or did that 4.0 in the Clink auction post a pretty strong result? I would not have expected $6,800 on that particular book.

[showcase22gr1959]

The 4.0 did quite well...$6800 is strong.

The 4.0 did quite well...$6800 is strong.

very likely will be a 4.5 soon

It's was a nice 4.0 but the 3.0 went for strong money too.

 

I've already turned down offers of $32K and $35K for my copy. Currently have an interested party whom I told I wanted $40K for the book.

 

AF #15 seems to be bouncing back nicely, especially books with strong eye appeal and/or page quality.

You should have been pleased! Congrats!

[swapto]

my other 3.0 was nicer and sold for more.

 

i agree with roy.

Based on the clink prices, I'm glad that I bought when I did. If I sold my copy, I'd probably find myself priced out of the market.

Good point. You're not the only one that's reached that conclusion. Supply goes down, demand drives prices up...

 

The low to midgrade copies of AF15 will move readily, with the high grade examples out of reach for many collectors.

 

At this rate, I'll only be able to acquire the "Gerbil's Nest Pedigree" copies.

 

Or a PLOD...

+1,000

 

I bought mine almost two years ago and it seemed pricey at the time, but as with most good books they always seem expensive at the time and then a year or two later those past prices you thought were crazy suddenly look like bargains!

 

Yes, that is a run-on sentence...
