An honest question: What is the point of that? A 9.8 went for $369 back in November. Is he trying to set a different benchmark for the book somehow? He must have a reason, I just don't know what it is.

Someone needs to pay better attention to where they put the decimal point.

That's gotta be it.

This makes me want to list my 1:40 CBCS 9.9 for 4499.00!

Do it, man

!

No, seriously

.

What's the worst that'd happen? It'd sell for that

?

jasont215 · Post by **jasont215** » Tue Feb 23, 2016 9:08 am

Finally listed it..

And its a bargain compared to the CGC 9.8 that's out there.

I've really tempted to list my 9.9 for something crazy and see what happens. In all seriousness what do you think a Divinity 1 1:40 CGC 9.9 would sell for?

Let's all watch Jason's listing and see:

Guess I didn't pay attention! I didn't realize he was selling one. If this sells I could put the CGC copy up and see if there is a difference between CBCS and CGC prices?!

My guess is about 2.5x the going 9.8 rate, or less, depending on level of interest. My guess is the $700-1100 range is what the street value might be. But, you never know. Someone might want it bad enough.

Meh not worth it then. I'll wait to see the final sale price of this copy. I'd need enough to get a 9.8 replacement and pickup some key books on my list in 9.8.

Yeah, it's hard to say with 9.9s. Maybe someone will bite. I'm pretty sure nobody will bite at $2500, but you never KNOW!

I'm in a strange space, since I have the CGC 9.8 SS copy which is difficult to replace or upgrade. I would easily pay $1,000 for a 9.9, and once the registry set point system issues is corrected/updated, the additionally value of the 9.9 might become more compelling.

I think if listed long enough, a $1,500-$2,000 range is certainly possible. I seriously do not believe a flood of 9.9's is coming, so for a guy like me, who wants to have the best possible set, I can see someone forking up that cash.

This will be even more true in the event that there is a significant registry point jump between a 9.8 and a 9.9 down the road. Right now it's not massive; but if it were 100-200 points...

nycjadie · Post by **nycjadie** » Wed Feb 24, 2016 11:52 am

Yeah, the registry points allocated to VEI books is seriously out of whack.

I was accused yesterday as being the seller for both the $4,500 CGC 9.8 and Chris's CGC 9.9.

Apparently, as the conspiracy goes, I wrote the article last year so that I could control the market and then list these books for sale for $1,000's.

Only problem is, that I've never actually sold a Divinity book on eBay (that I recall...) and the two in question aren't mine anyhow! Not that it would matter since we live in a capitalist society and things like money sort of both exist and matter, but it's wild how people get when they start hating.

I DID promote my Golden Ticket sale however. Guilty as charged lol!

I suspect that the outcome would have been exactly the same though. Also, advertising isn't a crime last I checked.

Good thing, too; if it were, we'd both be servin' life sentences

Although, to be fair, yours would be consecutive; mine are concurrent

I thought that was a pretty good idea. Nothing wrong with spreading the word.

Does anyone know when in April Divinity II ships? I'm going to put up for auction one of the triple-signed Divinity #1 9.8s during each month of its run.

eschnit · Post by **eschnit** » Sun Mar 13, 2016 10:54 am

End of April. I think the 20th is the release date

jmatt · Post by **jmatt** » Sun Mar 13, 2016 11:17 pm

Many thanks. I thought it was odd that try as I might, I couldn't find a ship date for the title.

jasont215 · Post by **jasont215** » Thu Mar 24, 2016 10:59 am

#1 LaRosa Variant Cover CGC 9.8 moved at $600.00 on 3/20/16

#1 LaRosa Variant Cover CBCS 9.9 is still available.

jmatt · Post by **jmatt** » Thu Mar 24, 2016 9:42 pm

Nice to know it's still holding its value. Six hundred bucks is strong.

sonicdan · Post by **sonicdan** » Fri Mar 25, 2016 3:51 pm

I submitted these at C2E2 this year. Wish me luck!

jmatt · Post by **jmatt** » Fri Mar 25, 2016 9:16 pm

Nice! Best of luck. I should submit my 1:40 and see what happens.

jmatt · Post by **jmatt** » Sun Apr 03, 2016 10:25 pm

If anyone is interested, I have listed one of the triple-signed Divinity #1A copies.

I will be selling a few of them during the Divinity II release months. While I am entertaining offers in the Ebay sale toward the end of the 30 day listing period, I will deduct 10% from the price for any board member who wishes to purchase outside of Ebay at the BIN price. Free shipping.

Thanks for looking, and even if you're not sure if you're interested, an Ebay "watch" would be helpful.

PS - The reflection of my face in space is kinda hilarious. I am "The Unknown".
