Keep in mind the ones purchased through DCBS also I'm sure the majority of those sold to members here from the board..greg wrote:It's probably important to note that X-O 1:50 has not sold as an auction yet.400yrs wrote:$58 and $63 now with the $89.99 sets moving pretty well.
All sales at all prices have been set by the sellers with "Buy-It-Now".
Competing bidders are just now getting to impact the actual market price.
It's possible that the "Buy-It-Now" prices at $50 and under have been far too low.
(Whether they will remain too low is a different question, but supply/demand rule.)
Imagine what they'd be if there weren't 40 already claimed by members of this board through Paradise's deal.

Re: X-O 1:50 Auctions
Weird, when the sets of all 4 covers were available as a BIN of $10 less than that (right up until yesterday, right?). Ebay bidders often confuse me.

Re: X-O 1:50 Auctions
Yep. It looks like the sets of 4 for $89.99 buy-it-now ran out yesterday... the 1:50 variants started selling for $99.99 today (two have sold, one auction bids, one buy-it-now).michalward wrote:Weird, when the sets of all 4 covers were available as a BIN of $10 less than that (right up until yesterday, right?).

The seller, thecomicmarketnh, has now sold 20 sets at $89.99.
I presume it's safe to say they ordered (at least) 1,000 copies of X-O #1.

Re: X-O 1:50 Auctions
The set of 4 as a regular auction (instead of the $89 buy-it-now) ended at $109.50 with shipping: http://www.ebay.com/itm/160792737820" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
This seller "only" wants $80 for his 1:50 variant: http://www.ebay.com/itm/261018011340" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
(I guess he didn't see them sell for $99 earlier today.)

Or they got the missing QRs from CKBs shop. With the way the shipments went on this, who knows.greg wrote: The seller, thecomicmarketnh, has now sold 20 sets at $89.99.

Re: X-O 1:50 Auctions
Looks like a $100 buy-it-now for the 1:50 alone lasted 8 hours before being hit:

Another 1:50 is now up to $120 shipped with 9 bids and four-and-a-half hours to go in the auction:

Re: X-O 1:50 Auctions
Watching these is fun. And I think this is a bit beyond prices rising just because of us here at vf.com.
Aja variants are strong as well.

Re: X-O 1:50 Auctions
The downside to all this is that with the next set of books in May we may not see affordable variants.

I think many sellers are just putting up BINs using their normal pricing conventions for Marvel and DC books. It appears that they are doint themselves an injustice.
