Here's a Solar 10 in CGC 9.8. It looks pretty tempting at this price.

He might take $300 even... I think that was his price on the CGC board where he listed this one first. :hm:

What are those scratches on the case? Looks like an etch-a-sketch...

I'm also surprised he hasn't relented a bit on his Maxx#3 Black; I'd love to see a sale at that price, but I just don't think it's gonna happen.

Why relent? I don't think he needs the money. This is a singular and unique item and may just sell at that price.

He says in the listing: "ANY STREAKS YOU SEE ON THE PICTURES ARE ON THE SCANNER GLASS, NOT THE CASE"...

I'd get validation before banging that button, but not a bad opener price-wise. I think he definitely takes $300, too.

I got one for $295 shipped a few months ago off a (wishful) listing of $599.

It is so gorgeous. :D

That seller is a very well known ex-member here, you can trust his auctions, that's for sure.

Well, because he's never received any offers? Hey I'd love to see it sell for that price, I own one of the other 2 known copies (and mine would easily grade higher than 7.5), I just don't think the market is there. But if he's listing these with free ebay listing (haven't seen any of those days lately?), why not.

Fast nickel or slow dime? There's a time and place to go for the slow dime.

So what are you saying? I don't think erratic sales history applies in either case, lots of subjectivity in sales.

In my opinion, sometimes it makes sense to be extremely patient when trying to make a sale.

Out of curiosity, how does one become a 'trusted' ex-member here?

Not that I'm interested in becoming an ex-member.

Well, having over 22,000 posts and having met and becoming friends with many of the board members will do that. That being said, he had many strong opinions that he defended vigorously, which rubbed many people the wrong way and lead to him being removed from the board. He was also the third host on Only the Valiant, but has now removed himself from that, as well. :?

Sure but with illiquid sales transactions, at which price is being patient? Is 10 times the going rate realistic? How about the almost zero BOs, which happens when things are priced outside of its market.

Just playing devils advocate here, I wish him all the best in his sales! And like I said, I stand to gain from a high price in sales just as much as ZWH does.

Good seeing you here, Squirrel. The market dropped on key Valiants when VEI seemingly sputtered a while back. Now that VEI looks strong and ready to launch, the market on those keys seems to be returning.

Sorry I should have mentioned this sooner; ZWH uses the Maxx 3 listing as advertising, and the more I think about the auction I tend to agree with the price. There should be a steep premium on something you hold dear and most likely won't ever be willing to attain again. And what's 50 cents in listing fees? :)
