Although his doesn't even have Jennika on it! But this one looks cool, too:  |

| By the way, I'm going to auction off my TMNT 95 RI 1:10 Mint condition. So far it is the only #95, across all variants, that is a 9.9 grade. Auction starts Sunday, goes for a week. Should be fun to watch at least.  |

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

| You'll be the first graded copy and first 9.9 for sale to market...risky move, but as always - Good luck! I predict it will sell at auction for $150-$200 range |

| $500-$700 range.. its a 9.9 even if there is 10 out of 200 sub... still that is low at that grade. Best on the sale. Your going to find lots of low offers. people love to be cheap... | ||

| @Towmater I also did a double take. Jennika doesn’t have a shell, right? |

Quote:Originally Posted by kaptainmyke What?? Ack!! Don't say that! Now I feel like I should cancel it... Quote: Originally Posted by whowill Okay, that's more like it. Man, this is nerve wracking. And it hasn't even started yet! I just have to remind myself: It only cost $25, it only cost $25. Every else is profit. Quote: Originally Posted by comicsforme Yep, that's mine. I put it up for a BIN, just to see what sort of attention it would get. Altered the listing a day or two ago to "advertise" the auction coming up. Not sure if that is a wise strategy or not, but I plan to make an offer to all watchers for $800, a day before the auction starts, let them know that it's coming. |

| I’m going to have to flip through 95 again...I thought it wasn’t there when she transformed...so presto, it’s there now? Bah...it’s comics... doesn’t have to make sense or be explained, right? |

| Okay! For better or for worse, the bidding has started. I couldn't actually do that plan of making an offer to the watchers, though. It turns out, you have to do that for 48 hours exactly - you don't get to pick the duration. So, Saturday it was too late, if I wanted the auction to end on Sunday. But the good news is, bidding is already up to $3.25! |

Quote:Originally Posted by HeinzDadWow! That's such a relief. I was so afraid it was going to be a dud auction. But (at least so far) it's been amazing. I think I'll put a couple copies of TMNT #96 in there, as a bonus, since it's doing so well. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Tedsaid Well, I did misstate the cost before. I looked at my records and it turns out this one was $45 new, not cover price. So something like $70, with grading and shipping figured in. Still awesome, but not quite AS awesome. No wonder I only bought one. (Unless, it could have been limited to just one per person. Who knows WHAT I was thinking. But it worked out.) |

| Hey, let's have some fun with it, okay? Since it's doing so well, so quickly... Anyone who wants to can vote - pick what you think the the final bid price will be. Votes have to be in by, say, noon on Sunday. And you can change any vote, or (if editing is no longer allowed) you can vote again, and your second vote counts, okay? But all votes still have to be in by noon EST (New York, NY, time) on Sunday. (The auction ends Sunday night around 10:40, btw.) And the winner gets a free copy of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #96! Either cover! I'll mail it for free to anywhere in the US, and for cheap anywhere else. (I'm not sure how international shipping works, but we'll work it out.) How does that sound? A tie (one over and one under) is so incredibly unlikely that I'll send out both comics, one to each winner. Otherwise, you can't vote for the same amount someone else voted for. And the first one to do the math and realize it's a tie gets to pick. Here are the two covers. Both are 9.8 candidates:  |

| Oh! Should we do a silent bet? I mean, people can p.m. your guess? So that other people can't .... no, no. That's probably not needed. Not since you can change your guess anytime, right? Anyway, if you want to p.m. your guess, because you are so amazingly good at predicting eBay sales you don't want anyone else to know, that is fine. But I reckon we can just do it publicly, too. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Bronte Oh, that's true, definitely. I guess I was thinking more along the lines of: Bob guessed $800, and then Jill guessed $801... That happens a lot on Price is Right, as I recall. |

| When Polka does his sales, he does some sort of giveaway with guessing numbers as well. Although I have never participated, my observations are that most folks are pretty civil. I never saw anybody do someone that dirty. My guess is that the folks on this board are more than enlightened than the average bear.... Or risk being ostracized.....  |

| Alls I know is if my 95 comics n ponies getting verifies sigs comes back a 9.9 it’s going straight to flea bay. I’m going to stand tall on my guess of 695.00 for my guess, I won’t even change as time approaches. | ||
