Probably another reason why it sold for "cheaper." The dust shadow is a distraction for me at least. low eye appeal and a dust shadow slowing down an Action 7?

AnkurJ Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I didn't even realize the auction ended. I wouldn't be happy if I was the consignor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the consignor's fault in the 1st place. They decide where and when they want to sell their stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnkurJ Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I am sure we will see it on a dealers website/inventory before the end of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sold for cheaper than what I expected. Anyone win anything? What do you guys think of the other sale prices of the book - Action 7, MF 52, Cap 3? I won the Human Torch 6 and a movie (The Thing From Another World) lobby card. Thought the More Fun 52 went pretty strong, considering the condition of the spine.

Maybe this is intentional to discourage flighty bidding. Or it may be a combination of the intentions, and overthinking the process. I registered, and was accepted, for online bidding. I only then discovered that there were more hoops to go through. It is not an actual live auction. David The bidding process is very awkward and obtuse. The clock supposedly resets but then it doesn't count down in a way that seems accurate, reliable or sensible. I've bid on a few things and just was not at all certain how much time was actually left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDarkseid1 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 (edited) So how much did the Tec 27 on Hake’s Auction approximately undersell for? What should a 5.0 have gone for? $100K more? $200K more? Either way that seller lost out on some chedda!!!

I think 600-650,000 would have been a solid result. Edited March 16, 2018 by rob_react Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domuhnator Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I thought the More fun 52 ended very strongly considering how weak of a 3.0 it was. I Think the tec 27 would have sold much better on any of the big 3 auction sites. I would think were going to see it for sale again very soon.

rob_react Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 I hope it went into a collection, but. yeah, any dealer with enough cash to sit on $570,000 of inventory in one book, would probably do well in the not-so-long-term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have no choice to when you sign a consignment agreement with no reserve. I’ve been burned enough times selling at auction that I will no longer sell a high value item without a reserve.

I wonder if the majority of people are put off when seeing a book with a Reserve or do they still bid as aggressively as they would with a book without a Reserve?

I think the book's where found after the owner passed?. So I would think who ever had control don't care if they got $100. since it was all free and there are houses, car's. and everything else to sell.
