X-O 1:50 Auctions

[GGSAE]

...and the $89.99 sets of 4 are back. Looks like the $99 buyers should have waited.

I bought 4 sets for 89.99. I saw what the 1:50 are going for alone and thought go for it.

Wow! Anyone else here, hoarding these variants?

[GGSAE]

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.

I had in my watchlist a seller with 6 Aja variants with $14.99 BINS. I already have one, but thought hard about taking 2-3 (buying one for me to pay shipping to Canada isn't as worthwhile for you guys), but do I really need 3-4 of these? At $15 though, they seem to be relatively cheap compared to the 1:50 variant.

Aja variants are strong as well.

Good point... this Aja's at $30 (shipped) with a day to go... http://www.ebay.com/itm/110873235684" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Not sure what's special about that auction... this other one is at $24 (shipped) with 6 hours left: http://www.ebay.com/itm/350562135260" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

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

That one's now at $130 shipped with 3.5 hours to go.

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.

Well can you give us some marvel or dc equivalents in print run, to give us some sort of comparative analysis? Weren't there a bunch of 1:100 ultimate variants released? I would think their would be fewer of those variants that this x-o 1:50, were they selling for more or less?

Holy smokes.

This superb specimen was cherry-picked from an original factory case twenty years ago and stored carefully for investment ever since, and boasts stellar eye appeal!

You know I could also say the same thing in my auctions BIN item does it mean I'll get insane prices too?

That one's now at $130 shipped with 3.5 hours to go.

Ended at 152.50. Other auctions are at 91 and a new BIN is testing the waters.

Unfortunately also a signed pullbox book I had been watching is getting attention (currently at $22.49).

Now it's just getting *SQUEE*.

This one is up for $300.

I'll never get one at this rate. To be fair, it's supposed to be high grade.

But agaain, really, $300? Talk about gouging.

I will bet it sells. Perhaps not quickly, but before the end.

[greg]

They're probably hoping the one at $200+ makes $300 look like a bargain by the time it's over.

Still not fair imo (who said life was fair right? lol)

I'm gonna have a *SQUEE* temper tantrum soon.

My inner 3 year old me is fuming!

I would say if you can buy a couple of the 1:20 variants for $20 or less shipped, I would recommend doing it...much better risk/reward scenario. And if you can get a few of them relatively cheap, you could trade them or sell them to use the proceeds for the 1:50 variant. The 1:50 should not be selling for 8-10 times what the 1:20 is going for, at most it should be 4 times (3 times is probably a bit more accurate, but I'll give additional leeway for the collectability premium. I employed this strategy in the equity markets, by pairing one stock against another and trading that relationship. And let me tell you if there was a way I could short the 1:50 and buy up the 1:20, I would do it with all the marbles in the world! Haha.

If it is - good bet they are a member of this board.

Ya'll some multiple copy buying mofos

I think that the 1:50 variant is going for such insane amounts due to a lot getting damaged or delayed with that Diamond truck that wrecked. I could be wrong but once the shops who qaulified to get them, price might dip a bit.

I am setting the record for pestering my LCS.

It is 'unofficially' on its way. Waiting for the UPS shipment today...

So, of course, I'm going back again later today.

I believe that only the 1:20 was affected by the accident. It looks like the 1:50 was having a different shipping problem from what I've been reading.
