well, not totatlly bad results on the last two auctions. £647 for FOOM and £66 for your art.. personally, still think the art is worth more but there you go.. It's like I was saying to someone the other day.. Would you want the £1000 comic, or would you be perfectly happy with the £2.50 reprint ^_^ though the original has some extra value, I think some stuff is a bit overly valued but that's kinda how the world works.
Though of course, you'll never see that issue of FOOM with a price that high ^_^
Would I prefer the £1,000 comic or the £2.50 reprint? That largely depends whether I'm buying or selling.
In theory any comic is only worth the recycle value of it's paper and staples.
In practice, if you have a desirable item and at least two, preferably three, committed bidders then the sky's the limit.
But how you get all those ducks in a row without sacrificing a large percentage to an auction house has eluded me for years. Something I need to get my head around before the Great Editor in the Sky tells me it's Good News, Chum!
There was a recent Cash in the Attic with a guy around my age selling his 1960's Spider-man collection because his wife wanted a new kitchen. I'm sure that excited the civilians and further distorted expectations in the back issue market.
Not being married I've never had a wife to tell me to sell off comics just for a new kitchen etc. It's been worth saving stuff "for a rainy day" and I'd always intended to sell the ones I no longer wanted when I was in my sixties so I'll be seeing what else I can auction. I think that issue of FOOM was probably the most valuable thing though. I've never been one to buy comics for investment.
