Did I pay to much?

Comic universes no longer active, Bravura, Continuity, CrossGen, Future, Malibu, Ultraverse... and others that are 'no longer with us' today (or only recently brought back).

Why? To go back to '93 when shop owners were selling them for $300.
Nope, I'd go back to the time of the crash and scoop up even more Valiants for little of nothing. Plus, while I'm at it I may as well go back and get in on the beginnings of DC and Marvel.
Not to mention stock options in Microsoft and Starbucks.....

Some people spend their whole lives believing in fairy tales, usually because they don't want to give up the fabulous prizes.

Good price. That's what I paid for my first one on an off-ebay sale.

On Ebay they go for about $40 if they are listed correctly. It seems that one pops up every month or two. It just depends on who'e looking at the time.
I bid on this within minutes of it being listed.
Is this a case of a seller not knowing what he has?

Exactly. Though the issue "looks" special, so you might think that someone would do a little research before listing it with a low BIN.

Gloves (original?) and a color PHOTOCOPY of the letter.

I may bid but I was hoping that David (dac55) would be able to get it cheap.

Are any of the bidders boardmembers?

Don't know, I don't need another, but I do hope a board member gets it.
That issue should be in every defiant collectors box of comics.

Great book at a great price. If this had been a Valiant promo it would be a $200 book easy and as far as my copy goes it's worth at least that much. One of the holy grails of the dead universes. :thumb:

Which is too much, IMO. Low grade plus copied letter kept me away. I may have gone $30. All of my copies are higher grade than that one.

Anyone up to posting a Dead Universe price guide here in the DU section?
Last time I saw one sell on eBay (2004?) it was over $100.

Maybe too much, but then again, it all depends on how much you are willing to pay for the book...
