| I have made offers on a couple 7.0 copies and one 8.0 copy of Tales of Suspense 52. My offers were declined without counter offers. I went in a little below what I figured I'd pay, but I expected negotiation. I don't have a GoCollect or GPA subscription. Could you guys help me out with the stats of the going rates for 7.0, 7.5, & 8.0 copies? There aren't many sales on e-bay for this book in these grades to compare. I have a pretty good idea of what I should pay, but I'd appreciate the latest data. Much appreciated guys.  |

| I don't have access to information to give you past sales, but with the recent movie writing news for Widow I imagine people are very hesitant to sell until they see what kind of hype it brings. | ||

| I could understand that, but my offers aren't crazy low or anything. A counter offer at least would let me know where their at. | ||

| Well, I offered $1100 for an 8.0, that I could understand was way under. But the guy has had it for sale for a looooong time. I was hoping he'd at least counter. I offered $700 for a 7.0 (declined) and then $750. No response on that, yet. |

| There is a 7.5 up on Heritage now. I may throw my hat into the ring there. If anyone here has a slabbed 7.0-8.0 they're looking to sell, I'm interested. I also have a CGC 4.0 I can trade + cash (PayPal) in the deal. |

Quote:Originally Posted by 00slim Bazed on sales data, and the fact this is a book from the Marvel chipping era, and it stull has room to grow over the coming months...I put FMV for a 7.0 at $900, 7.5 at $1100 and 8.0 at $1500-$1800. For WP copies, add 5-10%. If I had a copy of this book, I would not let it go gor under current GOA highs, even if it was a straight up cash sale. Last time I had this book, it was a shot to Hell raw 1.0. IIRC, I got $125, off my wall at a show. Around 3 years ago. I'd say make an offer at $850 on the 7.0. Put your 4.0 up via BIN at the GPA high for 4.5 and wait til it's hit.You'll get it, soon enough. |

Quote:Originally Posted by 00slim Looks like you're at least $100 off...what are they asking for these books? If you're making offers half of what they're asking, the. That's an in indication of why they're not negotiating....could also mean they're not serious about actually selling the book at a fair price If they're listing it well above fmv. |

Quote:Originally Posted by 00slim Just because the seller has had the book up for sale for a long time doesn't mean he is going to take an offer below current market prices especially if there has been an announcement for a movie. FYI, I decline low ball offers immediately and save me the hassle of making a counteroffer. |

| @Drogio most are asking $1000 or close to it for a 7.0. The one 8.0 has an asking price of $1750 or best offer. |

| 7.0 - 8.0 You should be able to purchase any of those three grades for between $800 - $1400 as a fair value depending on the sellers willingness to negotiate. However, low availability may make these prices flex up temporarily. |

 I bought a meat grinder on amazon for $60 and it's changed my life.

| If you guys buy books regularly, (which by the looks of this forum, you do) is a $5.99/month GoCollect subscription really going to break your bank when you are considering buying a book over $500? Don't be so cheap! Think about it. |

| With the announcement of Black Widow in her own movie, I can see why sellers are asking above the 12 month FMV. Most are fearful of missing out on an explosion and are not willing to take less than asking price on potentially hot books. | ||

| The seller of the 8.0 responded that his bottom line is $1650. I told him I couldn't go that much over GPA, but that I appreciated his response. |

| Yes, two episodes that I can think of. The famous "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet" Directed by Richard Donner. As well as "Nick of Time", about the penny machine fortune teller. | ||

| Well, I worked out a deal on a 7.0. There was one for cheaper, but this one had better paper quality. Someday I'll get an 8.0 or better, but a 7.0 is nothing to sneeze at. |

| And I took @kaptainmyke's advice & got a GoCollect subscription. I love stats, & now I'll be able to make sure I don't over pay for slabs in the future. | ||
