ComicLink has a Tec 38 7.5 in their next auction.

excerpt from item description

The 8.0 has been listed on their exchange for months on end

 

So, I assume the seller is now more willing to sell it and toss the dice to see what it will truly go for, or is there a Reserve price set on this book here?

So I’m probably reaching here lol, but it’s distinctly possible they mean by auction. Not saying I believe that, but it’s possible haha.

"hit the market" to me means become publicly available for purchase, regardless if at auction or fixed price format.

This is true lol. Just trying to come up with justifications.

Yes, of course that’s what it means. This is an appalling gambit to hawk a book

[Gotham Kid]

Tec38 7.5 description now mentions:

(none of which have hit the market at auction in the last decade)

Better.

[Gotham Kid]

Also, the Tec 38 8.0 consignor has pulled his book.

[LDarkseid1]

Looks like you guys made an impact, description was changed to not having been available for years “at auction”. Everyone can go back to their usual programming now haha.

ComicLink listens. Same started happening with bc scans. Listening is the first step to becoming better. So kudos to them.

I imagine the consignor probably wants to see how the CGC 7.5 graded copy does in an open piblic auction and then determine if they should then adjust their price upwards or not.

Definitely a nice winter auction. I've got like 40 or so books saved in my favorites. Curious to see what the Tomb of Dracula sole 9.9 will bring. I doubt it could be nicer than many of the 9.8's but I suppose the lure of a 9.9 will get some people very inspired. Wonder if theyre talking about it over in the Bronze Age section.

I doubt it'll beat the price the last time it sold, which was ~80k if I'm remembering correctly.

"Elvis: That's the way it is" -> That's the greatest depiction.

That and the NBC Special. Production numbers aside, Greil Marcus called it "music that bleeds". I haven't seen a docu-movie about EP that I enjoyed much. TTWII is killer. That seems to be the documentary everyone is going back to. The 8cd STEREO re-release plus DVD's of the movie and outtakes is excellent. They muffed the first release and released the cd's in mono. Ooopsie. A 50th Anniversary TTWII box set was just released. Not much new in it but I took it anyway.

The book sold for for $4,370 in October of 2005, per GPA, but I seem to remember there being an intervening sale.

There's a very obvious reason as to why you can't find any results as I believe you would be referring to this humongous record setting sale or more correctly NON-SALE for $85K in the August 2019 CL Featured Auction:

There was lots of talk about this sale at the time back on Page 9 of this thread here:

TOD 10 9.9 @ 85K and WW 1 8.0 @ 85K

folks, its official, we have jumped the shark tank

No doubt it was another one of these record setting auction results that was never ever completed by the so-called bidder or possibly another one of these whereby the consignor is simply trying to manipulate the price upwards to set the book up for a future sale.    

Sometimes it works as in the case of the CGC 9.8 TMNT 1 sale that supposedly set a record price of $90K in a very high profile auction sale when all previous sales were only in the mid to high $30K price range to that point in time.  Definitely worked that time as it instantly spiked the entire TMNT market into the stratosphere and in particular, the TMNT 1 market up above the $50K price point.  Not surprisingly, the exact same $90K copy was then flipped out successfully for $59K through a low profile non-auction Buy It Now sale several short months later.    

I believe the consignor for this TOD 10 is hoping that everybody will remember the $85K price point and then bid this book up to an even higher price point on this go round here.  All I can say is that if that had been an actual legit sale that went through for $85K back in 2019, don't you think that CL would be hying that result like crazy in this auction here?
