Then again, there's the odd exception like this HTF copy of a book that seldom comes to market which should go for a reasonable price given its condition:  

Let's see if it's going to end up doing better tonight than what happened with the pre-Robin 'Tec books which definitely seem to underperformed on this particular go round.    

I get irrationally angry/upset now seeing that cover. I sold my super low grade copy (coverless but with a pro cover re-attached. CBCS 0.3 grade but still decent PQ and displayed great) on Ebay and figured it would get SOME traction as a no-reserve auction....but nope...it ended up barely going for over $100.

did anyone have issues submitting bids ?

I did at first earlier in the evening, but I just cleared my cache and restarted my browser figuring it was an oddity. Ended up bidding fine and winning one auction down to the wire, so no other issues.

Well, some lucky bidder sure got a steal of a deal on a nice GA key book, even though it was in low grade condition. 

Then again, eBay would probably be the last auction site that I wiould be using to try to sell my GA books, especially when it comes to GA keys.

Yup, I use Ebay to sell other non-comic items but this was the first time in almost 20 years I decided to list some comics. I regret every single listing and sale...it was painful the amount of money I lost/left on the table. NEVER AGAIN!   Live and learn.

Well, unlike some of the pre-Robin 'Tec consignors who must have been down in the dumps after last night's auction results, the consignor of this classic cover book here must be feeling pretty ecstatic about the bidding on this book here:    

Managed to fetch $14,200 or something like 15X condition guide valuation and a whole ton more than the mere $5,800 it sold for in the big Jon Berk auction a few summers ago.

Yeah, when a pretty 6.0 sells for $15,000 in the July HA auction, this price was a surprise to me.

The More Fun 54 went for more than what it had been listed for on Metros website 😳

Didn’t screen grab it but the MF 54 went for about $41,600 but had been listed for quite some time on Metro site for $40,000

You can see "SOLD" items on ComicConnect by using the drop down menu on top. You can also use the "AUCTION" selection on the drop down on the left to see recent results (don't have to login in or have a sign-on to see these)

Yep, the 54 went for 41,611. I thought it would have hit at least 50,000 considering what it is. The last 9.0 sold for 26K in 2012 but it was a real beauty with White pages. There is a Larson 9.2 that I believe was upgraded from a 9.0 which was a Nick Cage book. Sold as a 9.0 for 39K in 2002 and for 38K as a 9.2 in 2015. Such a great book and only 29 Blue's out there. 

The 55 9.4 wow, 88K. Same 9.4 that sold for 124K on CC in 2016. The other 9.4 also with White pages went for just 51K in 2017, also on CC. Some pretty big fluctuations on this book.

Definitely like the fact that their auction archives updates almost on a real time basis now as it includes all of their current auctions within minutes of them finishing up.  

The only problem is that you have to input the title exactly correctly if you want to pull up the data for a particular book.  This means leaving out hyphens and what not sometimes which can definitely be somewhat frustrating at times. 

The other thing is that they appear to have lost some of their historical data from their earlier auctions since I no longer see the Atlantic City copies of Action 10 and Action 13 which used to show up as part of their auction archives prior to their upgrade last year.

I actually can get these 2 auction results anytime I want since they are available through Google if you do a search for them.

if you don't bid on some of the usa's tonite, you're a square.

[lou_fine]

Wonder what in the world  this Church copy of Wonderworld 33 will finish up at since it's already sitting at $14,311 with 15 more minutes still to go:  

Unlike the pre-Robin 'Tec books where the consignors did not do so well, I imagine the consignor of this book here must be rather ecstatic since they picked it up for only a paltry $6,200 in the big Jon Berk auction a few summers ago:

Well, were there a lot of squares here tonight or were there a lot of full body and deep pocketed bidders for these USA's tonight?
