WTF !!!!! bid up to $1750000 with 8 days still to go :shock:

 

[PGowdy]

:shock: That can't be for real. Surely?

 

[Palifan]

I think it's for real. Note that you have to be that special type of ebay user to even bid on it (wonder how you get that privilege?).

I remember this, I think it was found in a dry wall but not sure of the year it was found or how much it went for. This one is the highest graded one out there. Nicholas Cage used to have one that I think he paid around $850 000 for but was stolen from his house. I heard he was more than gutted about losing it even though he received the issuance money for it. Maybe he's bidding on it.

**** I've just been outbid. Cheers guys for outing the auction.

Last one at this grade went for 2.1 mill a few years ago, so a way to go yet on this auction.

Wow, that's amazing. I knew comics were big money but i didn't realise to that level! :shock:

 

[jedi_masters]

That is unbelievable. You have to be a pre approved bidder by e-mailing the seller so has to be genuine.

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

Thats crazy! :shock: :shock: Beautiful piece tho!

A fool and their money...

Cage's one was stolen then recovered and sold in an auction for $2.1m, so its not that unheard of. The true mental money is in art and cars, a Ferrari 25 gto went for close to £23m recently. So this is small fry.

Toys and props or just toys? I'm guessing that some props go for very silly money

 

[edd_jedi]

I do find it interesting that "50-100 copies exist" and it is still selling for nearly $2m. There are loads of one-of-a-kind Star Wars items, and it's equally as popular a franchise, yet things sell for a mere fraction.

 

[Palifan]

All I can think is that it's possibly the most significant comic out there due to it kicking starting the whole superhero thing and also the high grade.

Some of these types of comics can go for crazy money with only slight grading differences between them. I guess some of the collectors out there will pay quite a bit extra for those high grades……kind of reminds me of another collecting interest although I can't quite remember which one at this moment. :wink:

Screen used prop. Tie Fighter. Sold at the premier collectible auction in 2008 for $340000

I'm told that the screen used death star prop that is hiding in one of the super collectors collection would easily sell for over a mill.
