I listed it on Comiclink. Seems like a steal at current bid?

Yeah. I would imagine that more bidders will try to snipe it driving up the price. Nice book.

I've noticed on ComicLink that CBCS tend to sell for much less than CGC. At least that is my anecdotal impression. For those of us who understand that the grading is essentially the same quality (not tighter or looser), that means CBCS slabs are a bargain there. Unfortunately, that does make it harder to sell, though.

I have learned that you never auction a CBCS book.

I found the opposite on eBay. I picked three books all graded the same with same title, issue and cover; all three outsold CGC. Granted, these were all modern issues, but there is potential to flip for profit.

I got the GPA 12 month average price for my CBCS 7.0 Hulk 181 on eBay so maybe eBay buyers don't distinguish between the two.

I never have trouble with pricing when it is a Buy it Now or Make an Offer on eBay. I still wouldn't run a no reserve auction.

Agreed about running a no reserve, especially on a modern book. I've gotten great deals off of no reserve auctions.

I won't list a CBCS slab as an auction. Buy it now on the Bay works ok. Sometimes it takes a while bUT they'll eventually sell.

I never viewed the Link as a reliable source of selling data as I've purchased CGC and CBCS slabs for cheap there.
