Humans make errors. It happens. Most companies understand this and in situations where the error is glaring and obvious  , amicable resolutions are easiest

I'm sure they will have no issues cutting a Gator a little slack.  

It still means somebody else nuked your accidental bid though.

Can't imagine they'd do that for a 5k auction. Not sure it's worth the cost of litigation? They'd likely re-auction it if the consignor wants. They probably reserve litigation for the really high 5 figure & up books

Because I’m the one that accidentally screwed up the proxy bid (it wasn’t an end of auction nuclear bid, it wasn’t an intentional amount , it was entered early on and not realized to have accidentally added a “5th” number ) and have already communicated with josh about my error 

Reminds me of an old joke I heard here in South FL...

The closer to the coast you get down here the further to the right the decimal point gets on any dollar amount

So what happens now?

Since your 5k bid was in error so the book is sold for the price of $2,701?

No clue...I did not make the 5k bid.

Irrational market cheerleading = good, normal, not market consultant

Intelligent market analysis = bad, abnormal, market consultant

Gotcha.

Never said any of that, but you continue to be the thrilling conversationalist that you are.

So you are not the $5555 underbidder?

That book probably is white pages. Older slab, obviously never been pressed. You made a much better choice than following the white page crowd.

Did you miss the fact that this entire thread is about the market for this book when you accused me of acting like a "market consultant" (whatever that means) instead of a normal person?

Just kidding. I own OW-W and W 9.4 copies and can't tell the difference.

You'd have to take them out of their tombs.

With the book being so common, all else being equal white pages will always command a premium.

I agree completely. This is the tip of the iceberg. Avengers craze lasted 10+ years. X-men hasn't even started yet.

I'll add that I think X-men will be predominately a streaming service IP though. This will likely become the future of the MCU in my opinion. There's more money in streaming and distributing your own movies than there is in the crazy amount of advertising that goes into blockbuster movies.

This +1000 i see them taking the entire 616 and doing all the things they used to do in comics on streaming. I really think in 10 years this will be the new comic world.

Ive seen a significant turnaround in books that actually present well over the usual white page premium. I agree that bronze age books will always carry a decent premium on page quality, but just look at the FF48. Recent sales have shown a trend toward white covers over white pages.
