So 16 out of 27 sold, that's good news, there is demand and decreasing supply.

One for $500 Buy It Now (don't expect it to last long). I know some private deals have gone for $400-$450, but this is the cheapest through ebay. Might be hitting our bottom as supply dries up!

Honestly, less than $500 BIN on eBay seems to be a great deal.

Remember savage 1 there wasn't this much on eBay. This looks to me as flippers making a profit.

Most of these sellers are comic book stores trying to get their moneys worth. Wonder if anyone has tried to seriously low ball one of them...

I see 16. This is what I use to search "x-o manowar (brushed, metal) -iron -ironman". You still have to manually filter out a few auctions using keyword spamming.

You guys forget that 500.00 American is like 7000 Canadian after shipping and exchange rates. And if I bought it for 500 American I would never ever make my money back ever. So enjoy this market guys.

Why would someone bid $640 when there's still one at $499. Odd, yes?

And one would think with that auction ended, those would be snapped up asap.

I fine it odd also, when you have BINs at $499 with $25 shipping and a $550 with $10.05 shipping still sitting there.

It's crazy when people bid without looking at what's out there in BIN. Of course this never happens to me when I live auction an item facepalm , but good for that guy.

I wonder how many of these will be sent out to CGC - (or cbcs / pgx). Hoping to get a 9.8 or even better who will be the first 9.9 or even GEM 10.0 ???


What happens to the price of these as the initial flood of these are sold?

Does price go up with slabbed versions vs. Raw?

This is from a shop I visit once in a blue moon. I went yesterday to get a few copies of their exclusive X-O cover, and they said that the metal cover was up for auction. I put it on watch out of curiosity, and it hit $540. I couldn't believe it as at least one was available at a buy it now at $500.

If I did buy one by eBay, this would have been the one as I could pick it up rather than risk the vagaries of the post office (again).
