Yes, it was Mr. "Redistribution of Wealth", Mr. "Buy High Sell Low" himself. :)

Also desirableitem's Harby #1 did not get any bids with $399 min bid, also updated 1st post to reflect this.
After it ended, I think he relisted it with a higher starting price?
Yes, he re-listed it with $409 BIN. :roll:
Hahaha.....(now watch it sell)
He lowered back down to $399.

Oooooooooooooh $10 wow

:P
It worked. He just sold it for $399 to unknown buyer (will update later when they leave feedback for each other).

It looks like $300-400 is the market value right now, doesn't it?

Why is everyone so surprised? Once people finally saw the potential in getting these graded when the first few went for $2k+, it was only natural loads more were going to show up.

Seller tripleheetheetheet1 has been trying to sell his copies for $1,000 each without success so he raised the BIN price to $1,300. :roll:

He had 3 copies and is down to 2 copies now. I don't think he sold any copies via eBay. I don't see it in the auction's history or his feedback.

Desirableitems lowered the BIN price to $449 and someone bought it at $449.

I can already see another price correction on its way for this book. I say a more fair price would be more in the 300's now given the supply available.

Boy if this news had come out before I got my last sub back, I would have been sure it was the three I subbed. What a letdown THAT would have been.

With the current market, I don't see this book getting any sales unless it's priced between $250 - $300. The trend will only aim down as more and more copies get slabbed.

It will be interesting to see just how many more of these crop up.
