lobo1969 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I think it will go for over $2.25M. Already over that mark, I would not be surprised if it went around the $2.75M to $3M range. A book like this rarely comes up for sale in any venue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobo1969 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I wonder how many of the bidders are investors fully uninterested in the comic. I bit of both. There many well healed types that are legit comic book collectors and this is the holy grail of comics to be had. Nic Cage at one time had time best comic collection ever assembled by one owner.

justafrog Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Who would insure that? A very high class bookseller of my acquaintance sends things like this by an insured courier service that literally has the merchandise in an insured and bonded employee of the company's possession from seller to buyer.

Thatz what I was thinking. There's no way in he'll you could trust this through a third party shipping company unless something you described. If I was the seller I would want to delivery this in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaisonline Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 i have foreseen the delivery of this comic. If I were the buyer I'd want to pick this up in person.

You can insure anything, if one of a kind pieces of fine art and antique furniture can be insured then one of THE most important comic books in history can be insured. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justafrog Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 According to the eBay fee calculator, the final value fee on 3.2 million in the collectibles/comic book category is $250. I don't know if that's accurate - I know they used to have a cap no matter how much an item sells for, but that class of item is out of my wheelhouse. http://www.fees.ebay.com/feeweb/feecalculator Regardless, all auction houses charge fees. To say eBay doesn't "deserve" their fees is silly. They provided the venue and the traffic, and this very experienced seller chose them to feature his valuable item. It's like saying the grocery store doesn't deserve my money just because I don't like the price of artichokes that week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically when you run an ebay auction you expect to pay about 10% of the sale price on fees but there is a cap of $250. This seller also had a reserve which has a fee cap of $50 so maybe this seller only paid around $300 on fees. Which is a killer deal for auctioning this type of item.

Yeah, most high end auction houses take a straight cut % of the sale price. So selling on Ebay was pretty smart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
