Actually, GPA won't report the high prices.  They have access to the real sales prices.  They report the discounted amount.  Check it out on any best offer acceptance.

Turns out you are incorrect. During this sale, I bought an X-Men #10 CGC 8.0 that was listed for a buy it now of $350 (-20% off, for an end price of $280). 

Here it is listed on GPA as a $350 sale:

  (1) $350Hi  
      Mar-09-2018 $350 Cert# 1396878002  

Right - I've already been corrected once.  The statement is correct as far as true best offer amounts being reported by GPA.

Yes sir, I saw that after I replied to you. GPA also mis-reports when a seller clicks the button for "send offer" via an email reply. So, if the item is for sale for $1000, and the seller does "send offer" via email for $600, GPA will report it as a $1000 sale.

Actually past sales look like a lot of "best offers" 

And from low to high, you can really tell the auction of $2,400 was an outlier....

I don't have GPA, but I do my best :sorry:

1900 is right on the dot for average.  http://comics.gocollect.com/priceguide/view/134372

I'd rather save 20% on $500 than 5% of 1900 even if it is $100 either way.

It is interesting that on the $1900 sale ebay breaks even since the seller pays the $100 final value fee.  On a $500 book the fee is only $50 so ebay loses another $50 on it.

With that said I only saved $32 on a hardcover since the graded books were overpriced.

Yes! I made an offer on eBay for an ASM 94 once & GPA recorded the original bin. There was a pretty big difference there. I don't know if that's GPA's fault or eBay's?

No you have to enter it at the bottom where it says coupon at checkout. Make sure you don't buy it now but put it in your cart then go to checkout and enter the code to get the discount.

Yes! Just add stuff to your cart, then "proceed to checkout" and enter the code in the "coupons, etc" portion.
