Barbarella collector's edition!
Barbarella collector's edition!
Won a couple of ebay auctions last night. Silver Surfer Omnibus for $140 and Spiderman Vol 2 for $127. Had $36 in ebay bucks, so in the end got the 2 out of print titles for about $115 each, plus $8 shipping (combined shipping - same seller).
There's definitely been a run on posting some of these out of print titles. Must be people trying to pay off holiday debt. At any given time you'd see 2 or 3 Silver Surfers on ebay for at least $150. At the time I'm writing this there's 6 of them, one of them being an auction with 4 hours left, currently at $100. The same was the case for Spiderman Vol 2. Timing is everything, and I've been doing 3x/week searches on the OOP titles I'm missing for the past 2 months, adding each title to my watch list, no matter the price, to get an idea of value.
If you're looking for OOP titles on ebay, now is a good time.
Pre-ordered the Dial H hardcover and the Wolfman Deathstroke tpb. Never read either but I am really looking forward to them.

Just ordered Superman Unchained HC and TMNT Ultimate Collection vol. 5 HC. Should have both by the end of the week.
Just ordered the Sixth Gun Deluxe off of Amazon Marketplace. And also waiting on IST to ship me Dragon Age World of Thedas volume 1.

Just received my latest win on ebay, OOP Locke & Key Welcome to Lovecraft deluxe oversize edition, still shrink wrapped at publisher price. Surely this beauty from IDW will be the next article on my blog.
I am happy
A couple more ebay omnibus wins, in addition to Silver Surfer and Spiderman 2 a few days ago.
Captain America (Lee) for $125 + $8.
Iron Man Vol 2 for $93 + $10.
Still hating myself for not putting in a higher bid for Eternals (went for $102, and from the same seller as the Cap I won), but with these 4, I can't complain too much.
Sniping comes with the territory, I do it almost all the time with a 90% rate of return.
It simply means waiting to bid in the last few seconds of the auction. Timing it to the last second on Ebay is an art and takes some practice. If Ebay's server, or yours has a hiccup, you can lose out.
Also, never under-estimate the power of one cent.
I beat a person by 0.01 in the last second quite a number of times
I only use Buy-it-Now if the BIN price is a good one.
