| @Mountie73 Thanks for posting this! I have another thread that lists my 26 books in auction there, so I won't fill this one up. But I do want to give some love to two books that are WAY too low in the current bidding. DC Nation #0, 1:100 Retail Incentive cover by the great José Luis García-López! And signed! Currently at the ridiculously low price of $13.00. Flash Comics #41, from 1943 and an astonishing 7.0 (conserved - slight tape seal to cover)! These don't come up for auction often, and they are so lightly traded sometimes the winning bid is really low. Currently just $111.00. (Pictured here raw, but book is graded.) Have fun bidding!!   |

 I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie.

 Bidding on far too much this week. Hopefully I win a couple and don't win the majority. |

| I always wait till the final three hours to place my bids, no sense giving bidders advance warning and chance to prepare ...or raise the bid just because they weren't going to win. Everyone does things different I guess though | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by flanders You know, if you buy too many by getting great deals on a bunch of comics, you can probably just email Este Bagato at MCS and ask her to put some of them up for sale on consignment. If they already have them in the system, you don't have to fill out the online form. You might end up making money on the auction, in the end. At least, it would be a great way to test the selling waters. |

| @poka does MCS usually meet fair market value in its prime auctions? Do you notice big jumps at the end? 50%? 20%? Double? Mixed bag? |

Quote:Originally Posted by poka Yeah, that matches my experience. Occasionally, as with eBay, you will get an odd one that goes way too high. But there are plenty that go way too low to compensate. I'll post the final bids for the ones that end tonight, and the current bid for the rest, and you can kind of see how much they went up the last day (or two days, for tomorrow's comics). |

| @Mountie73 looks like I won a few of yours. May bid on that simpsons tomorrow. | ||

 I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for.
