Looks like the automated Heritage Make Offer to Owner feature now automatically bumps your offer price up by 50% above your auction purchase price instead of the standard 30% bump which you used to have in place. So, just imagine if you had won this raw grouping of Marvel Family books with an approximate condition guide value of $400 for the winning amount of only $1,020; you would now be in line to resell it to another Heritage member for $1,530 through their Make Offer to Owner program once somebody clicks onto that big Green button to the right.

canickus Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Greggy, that was a $250 book in 2019. Went for $450 today. That was a relative bargain for a super low population highest grade book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a relative bargain for a super low population highest grade book. Yeah! Bargain compared to some nose bleed prices on other more common books. Can someone explain why someone paid $3350 for G/S Captain America #1 9.8 when the GPA is $600 ? Or why someone paid $4100 for a G/S Avengers #1 9.8 when the GPA is $960 ? I mean what the actual ?

canickus Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 In regards to GS Cap 1, here is where you have to be a little careful with GPA. The GPA point you reference is based on one sale last year. GPA only has five sales of a gem mint copy of that book since 2010, or one copy every 2 years or so. The book has traded higher in private transactions and there are only 7 copies of a popular title in the popular run headlined by GS X-Men 1. It is always a bit counter intuitive, but I have usually made more money buying books where I set the new GPA record high price than buying books at a GPA discount. if you can find a GS Cap 9.8 for $600 bucks, I would hit it fast, but I suspect that those days are gone. Anyway, that is my 2 cents. MatterEaterLad and lou_fine 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
