Thought I would start a similar thread here too.
I have one (Insect Fear #1 for $20.50?), but maybe this time I should wait a little to post it as the last one (Help #22) never arrived...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=250195058902&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=015
Yeah, I saw you got that, good deal. Not sure why I didn't throw a bid in on that. I do already have a copy, though.
Someone stole this one out from under me for a good deal.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=300180357130&ssPageName=STRK:MEDW:IT&ih=020
Wow, sorry y'missed that. That was a good deal.
Great deal on the Insect Fear #1, 50c. The cheapest I paid for one of those was $62.75.
I'm green with envy, especially with my nearly-empty wallet.
Insect Fear #1 came in today and dare I say it looks to be in VF/VF- range. Woop Woop! Very nice copy with white cover and lots of gloss...
:bannana: My first copy :rocker:
Insect Fear is a good series period.

This is one of my best finds on ebay so far. A $150 comix for $20, so it should be no wonder I received this today...
"Aaarrgh!! You outbid me at the last minute for "INSECT FEAR" #1 back on Dec 11th. Congratulations and all that, but would you consider selling it? It's a hard item to find and my husband needs it for his collection. I was trying to find him one for Christmas."
Well, I'm not an unreasonable man, so let's see what the offer is...
$8.95+shipping...

Also picked up a copy of Big Daddy Roth magazine #4 for $10 on abe, hope it arrives...
There's an Insect Fear #1 on abe for $126 if anyone is looking...
The Cheri is about a $40 dollar item. If it had the band around the cover, even more.
Yeah, I've been getting lucky lately. Wonder if people have been selling stuff this month for Christmas gifts money...
i paid around 100 for my INSECT FEAR 1. i had probably lost out on around 4-5 copies and found one in around 8.5-9.0 BIN. so i jumped on it.
Funny, I was watching this auction,
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=250198202221&ssPageName=STRK:MEDW:IT&ih=015
but when it went for $15.50 I simply ordered the one for $8.00...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=230176066287&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=013
Hoping these turn out to be a deal... (not UnderGround, but Crumb related, Humbug was one of his favorite and inspirational pubs.)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=330187820551&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=014
At that rate you can have one copy in every room of the house plus the car. ;)

:boxing:
You guys are killin' me!
It seems a lot more cutthroat now that I know whom I'm bidding against. Or is snipin' me. :camper: I know who you are! :01_bitchslap:
A few things I've just lost...
Austin Stone #2 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=290201863886&ssPageName=STRK:MEDW:IT&ih=019)
Eggie and the Mirror (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=280196223485&ssPageName=STRK:MEDW:IT&ih=018)
Kampus Kapers (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=280196225900&ssPageName=STRK:MEDW:IT&ih=018)
:icon_kidra:
Ah, but that's the nature of the game, ain't it?
Sorry, my man. It's weird with eBay. Sometimes you can get something dirt cheap and other times, the prices are pretty high. If it makes you feel any better, I bid a lot higher for that Kampus Kapers than I won it for.
Don't feel too bad about the Austin Stone #2, here's a unique one of a kind one I'm depressed I didn't grab.

Here was a Buy It Now steal:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=320214737884
Insect Fear #1, 2, and 3 for $18.50 shipped. Condition was decent, not high grade, but not falling apart, either.
E-freakin'-GADS!
Nice!
OK... i popped the BIN on this one (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130201051149). I was surprised to see it and I figured 2x Kennedy was OK... Did I do good? I debated this one all day.
:icon_pale:
I thought this was a big purchase at first...
nope just $13 shipped. :egg:

I think you did fine, Fogel lists it as $10 in NM. I might have paid more for mine. I've found that another Hansen book seems to be a bit tougher is "Let's Not 'N Say We Did Funnies", which guides for $30 in the Fogel. They both came out in 1972 from Adam's Apple, I wonder if the print runs were that different or if it was a matter of content?
I always found the title of the latter book amusing, as that is a saying I say frequently, when someone says to me "Let's do..." or "Let's go..." to something I don't want to do or someplace I don't want to go, I often say "Let's not and say we did." It must be a more common saying than I thought...
:headscratch:
yeah... interesting guide values on this one.
Kennedy (1982) = $5
FUG (2006) = $10
i could not quickly find print run information (nothing in Kennedy).
is this something Donahue has?
anyways... i was :all_coholic: last night & saw that Reddy Kilowatt cover again and went *yoink*

Don has a fine condition copy of Like Nobody's Bizness for $17, so I think you did ok.
A couple guys here know what I won, and I feel bad to have outbid them, but I am nonetheless happy to have picked up my first copy of All-Stars #2, completing my mini-set:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=310026366037
And yes, 50C, I did a side-by-side comparison with the one you just sold here. They looked pretty comparable, wouldn't you agree?

had no idea that you didn't already have this book, so my other post is pretty much null and void.
I would say they are the same grade, no hard feelings, at $42 you got a steal and you won't be disappointed at one of my favs.
So you're saying you have #1? Please post a scan...
I don't have a scan of that one yet. When I run into it, I will. It's a nice VF copy.
Here's a steal, a Freak Brothers grey tire printing:

Pretty good condition, surprisingly. A pretty severe spine roll, but otherwise not too bad!
