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…

I usually watch CNBC in the morning as I am getting dressed for work. They had a segment earlier this week on this comic book coming up for auction I know nothing about comic books, but I remember being stunned when the segment mentioned that it was expected to go for $2 million+.

Isn't it amazing what some people spend their hard-earned money on.

That comic is the equivalent to the t206 Honus Wagner in the comic collecting hobby. Such a nice piece and if I had extra cash to throw down on it, I would. Comics have risen in price the past few years as well so it could be a decent investment opportunity.

My snipe is in.

So how would you determine shilling on this? Serious question - I can only assume because of the number of bids from this buyer with this seller. Could also be totally legit - No?

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?

[mybuddyinc]

3 Million, then will see who's the toughest

This all makes me wonder about the Edgar Church copy from the Mile High Collection. It's ungraded, but supposedly according to a former CGC president, it would grade a 9.4 (2 grades above this copy).

Isn't the eBay FVF capped at $250?

[Eric72]

Out of curiosity, how much money is going to the Reeve Foundation?

[CrazyDiamond]

Wow - Too bad it's not quadruple eBay bucks

Eric, instead of quoting you and responding I accidentally hit the edit button but didn't edit your response at all...sorry about that...

I believe they said 1%, which is still a good bit given the total amount it will sell for...
