That's "wowsers" with a capital W!!!!! Does paypal handle a deal like that? Is shipping included?

So... If I Bid and Win...
And Then Cancel within the First Hour after the Auction is Over...

Will Ebay be Upset?

Just a Thought?

I guess the planet Krypton has great gyms, but they could use some more funding in their school system…

How about winning it for, say, $3.0 million. Getting the appropriate emails, then cancelling. Contact the winner directly and work out a payment for 4.5% less, splitting the difference of the 9% Ebay fees. Saves the seller and buyer $135K.

Karma!

I actually know Darren, and knew he had a ridiculous collection of high end Magic: The Gathering rare 9.5's and 10's as well as comics, but never did I know he was referring to this gem! With white pages, this does blow the Cage 9.0 out of the water. I think it is easily a 2.5M to 3M comic, but only if the right two parties are willing to part with the cash. Imagine a legit T206 Wagner coming to auction graded a 9 and perfectly centered to boot. That is similar to this book. Wonder how it survived all these years?

Isn't the eBay FVF capped at $250?

[the 'stache]

Holy God. That's beautiful.

By the way there was a previous post which said prices for vintage comic books have really been on the rise. Not true. Prices of certain books from certain titles in high grade have been rising but in general the overall comic book market is lukewarm at best...

remove comic book in the above and replace with almost any collectible......

[atx840]

That's awesome. Congrats to the seller and new owner.

[DHogan]

Oh my.

I got a funny feeling 10 years from now, $3 million will seem cheap for this comic.

[clydepepper]

$3,207,852.00

FREE shipping I assume.

That's a lot of EBUCKS earned

...of course, if he had sold it to one of us away from the 'bay, he would have saved the $32,078.52 in fees.

I personally had to pass because of all the family birthdays coming up this decade.

I think the rumor is that Kevin Feige won it.

Selling fees are capped at $250, so in light of the final bid, practically free. And I would hope that for $3.2 million, the book would be delivered personally. I'd hate for the bubble mailer to arrive with a slit in it and an "I'm Sorry" note from the post office attached

I think that is the hope of whoever bought it.

The sniping program that I use always registers two bids, even when I'm the only one who bid. I've always just assumed it was a built in safety measure to ensure that at least one registered with ebay in that last-second crunch. I think the identical time stamps would rule out anything physical like a double-tap with the bidding finger. What I don't understand is why ebay would register, and display, two identical bids from the same bidder. Seems like ebay's software would recognize them as being identical and only display one in the bid history. But then, that certainly wouldn't be the first quirk shown by their software.
