? about Price Guide

I was wondering how does the price guide treat something like this?

That is above the average for this type of lot...at least that I have seen..I was wondering how the price guide uses this type of information, or do you only use single issue sales. In this auction the money was probably spent on 1-5 and then the buyer just considered that the 0, 6-8 were free. I was watching this auction and then I started thinking about how the price guide looks at this...and when I say price guide I guess that I am saying how does greg use this information?

Simply put, I don't use it.

Unless the auction is for a single comic,
or in rare cases, two comics... I don't attempt
to include the prices for the issues in the price guide.

Luckily, the individual issues of Rai #0 - #8 come up fairly often,
so we don't need to guess what they might go for outside of the lot.

Ok that was to the point...I kinda thought that you might not use it, but I did not know so I thought that I would ask...thanks for clearing that up.

I hope I didn't seem rude! Text doesn't convey mood very well...

No, not rude at all...actually after I posted I was thinking that you might take it that way...

Seems like a good price, since all the pages are "supple and like new"!

Yeah not bad at all if all of the books are true NM...This guy had several of these types of auction running this week...he had a magnus 0-9, harbinger 1-6 and this auction...all of them did fairly well...they all looked the same and none of the auctions had a picture of more than 1 book, but the magnus had a picture of numner 0 and the harbinger had a picture of number 1. I head my eye on the harbinger one but it went outta my price range...
