Thankfully the price didn’t jump like some other books I’ve been chasing Got my 32 already. Need a nice 1. That was another one of my losses last year. I think I went punch for punch with the same person probably on that one and a nice high grade TOD 1. I did win the drac book but lost on the WWBN 1 possibly to one of you fine fellows.

frozentundraguy Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Won these two books on Comic Connect late last month. It was a bit of a disconnect on the shipping though. Had been looking for World of Mystery #1 for a couple of years before finding this copy. Larryw7, bc, djpinkpanther67 and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Over the past year or so I've really just given up on finding high grade raw silver or bronze keys or the ever frustrating DARK/BLACK cover. With that I had to embrace the slab and a lot of my wins during 2020 were those dark cover books. But when you find one in grade...wow!

So far it's having its intended effect. So far. Link to post Share on other sites

There’s several books I’m interested in starting in March but not sure if I’ll even bother throwing anything more than a tracking bid in. Link to post Share on other sites
pickycollector Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Giant-Size X-Men #1 CGC 9.2 with OW/W pages sold for $9,080 tonight on Comiclink and I thought I overpaid for my 9.2 copy when I bought it in 2009.. Link to post Share on other sites
pickycollector Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I see significant increases (25%-60%) in prices within two months for many of the books that were offered for sale tonight, anyone has an explanation? alexgross.com 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Knows, but a book I was after jumped from $145 to $550 tonight and there is still 5 days left to go on it, needless to say I won't be bidding on that. Link to post Share on other sites
ronnieramone Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Last night was my first time trying to use Comiclink. I bid on the FF #4 at 5.5WP and was the high bidder up until zero seconds. Thought I had won until I refreshed the page and it says "you've been outbid." First and last time I ever use that auction site... I prefer real auctions free from bid-sniping software. If anyone has an FF4 they would like to sell, though... I need one to fill a crucial gap in my early FFs. Link to post Share on other sites

There’s several books I’m interested in starting in March but not sure if I’ll even bother throwing anything more than a tracking bid in. March has some really good books I want. One especially which does not come on the market often. Really worried about how it will turn out. Will keep you all posted if I win it or not. These books aren't ludicrously pricey but I just don't want to pay $500 on a book that was $150 last year and might be again next year.

Yes, it's asset class inflation. People have lots of money to spend that isn't being spent elsewhere. Think of all the more affluent people who pay 10 grand and more on vacations yearly. They still have that money and now we are seeing it flood all investment markets, including the collectible market. I vheflin 1 Link to post Share on other sites

No, I am a software engineer, so I assumed they have a socket open updating the status in real-time. The ticking clock seemed real enough. Expecting users to refresh the page every second is unacceptable in 2021. I am a bit spoiled in my line of work so I forget how bad some web applications are.
