Thank you!
I figured that out about Ebay after it happened one other time. I usually don't have time to monitor my bids so unless I can afford the Buy it Now option, I don't bother. Besides, my wife wouldn't appreciate me carting in even more crap!

I think it's been pointed out a few times that the optimal way to win an auction on eBay is not only to set your price in advance, but to only bid in the last second or two. By "sniping," you cut out everybody else's competitive desperation.

I know a few times, I've bid on something, then bid on it again immediately when it was out of my price range. That's some serious stupid. "Gee, someone else wants it. It's now worth more to me!"

One thing to consider is be the first bidder. Many people do not bid on an item just because it already has a bid. I have often been the only bidder and gotten GA books for a buck.

So, you're the guy that's always doing that.

Thanks, narf,
but I doubt that this is going to go for a reasonable (to me) cost. I'll keep an eye on it though.

And if anyone believes that this is an Ogden Whitney cover, I've got this bridge....

Peace, Jim (|:{>

Thanks for the generous offer Palooka! I'd love to have ANY golden age books in my collection as currently it contains, well none. Unfortunately, my financial situation does not lend itself to my pursuit of 30's-50's printed treasures.

slim, those links only open to pages the same size as the icons.
Just thought I'd mention.
No charge for that

NICKEL COMICS #1 yes coverless but what a find. I was outbid so if anyone is interested and also wants to replace our fiche here is your chance.

narfstar · « **Reply #88 on:** May 03, 2010, 03:33:31 AM »

WOW just find Silver Streak 18 and Cyclone 3-5? together. I have bid on these if anyone plans on bidding please let me know so we do not get in a bidding war.

builderboy · « **Reply #89 on:** May 14, 2010, 03:15:20 PM »

narf,

If you see any bid opportunities, let me know...I would consider it a contribution to the site to buy and scan something the site needs...within limits of course

narfstar · « **Reply #90 on:** May 26, 2010, 03:23:48 AM »

This is we do not have and neither does JVJ. I am current high bidder at $7.13 my max bid for the purpose of scanning. If anyone wants it to scan go for it or if I get out bid and you are willing to bid more for the cause or we could go together

I'll kick in $10 toward it if you need it.

Thanks Boox I'll increase the bid then sell it after scanning and split the returns. Or if you actually want the book I will let you bid and I will chip in.

builderboy · « **Reply #93 on:** May 26, 2010, 12:09:13 PM »

Narf,

I will chip in $10 as well. Let me know if you think that will help you get there when time gets closer

$10 no strings...I'll just be happy to have the scan. You can sell the book and use the cash to get us some more goodies.

Just let me know where to send the cash if you win the auction.

Thanks guys. Most of the books I have gotten in the last few years have not been books that I collect. I get them just to scan. I will be sending some to JVJ that he does not already have. Since he does not have this issue he may be happy to get it after scanning. I think $20 is about all it is worth unless you think it is worth $30. Right now I will just up it to a $20

Hopefully you can score it for $20 -- but I'll kick in the $10 regardless. And sending it to Jim is a great idea and definitely one of the least things that we can do to show our appreciation for all that he has done for us.

Now if we could get enough people to chip in we could get a copy of Colossus for $2500 That and Green Giant are two books that I never expect to actually hold in my hands

narfstar · « **Reply #98 on:** May 27, 2010, 03:31:50 AM »

No one else has chimed in and it looks like Jumbo is going to go for more than I think we should pay. They are not that uncommon. If some newbies want upgrades maybe they could chip in to a book fund. I would like to get this book it is a buy it now.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6633650620&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT Do not see The Challenger books very often if we could get enough people 5 people to chip in $11. Some may want their money back and we could repost and resell giving back a fifth of whatever we get. Others like me would apply the money to go for another book. I would be willing if four others think this odd book is worth getting.

I'd kick in $11. I hope we get that Jumbo...but if now, it will show up eventually.
