If it was a raw mint, $140 is cheap.

it's clearly NOT mint. Books with corner creases are not even close to mint.

The only explanation for the price would be if someone verified that it had the "rainbow" IFC, but there's no indication of that anywhere in the listing.

When I gave  my price, I was answering 50s response. I would assume a NM or mint first ed. Not the one that was sold which was not mint and might not have been a 1st.

This is a book that commonly goes for $10 on eBay though...

I was the underbidder at $15, the winning bid was $15.50.

Is that really that cheap for this? Fogel guide (yeah, I know, the prices are old) has this at $21 in Fine, so I didn't think it was such a steal at $15.50.


dr_s

It's cheap. Should be $35-$50

Oh, you mean the guide prices are off again. I told .50 before that I had a file from Fogel with some of the new supplement. It includes Zap pricing. All of the prices are the same as his guide so it would seem that prices for Zap have not changed in several years now....

Yep, more overgraded NeatStuff items, didn't a Zooks just close for $99 on eBay recently?

The Fever Pitch for 252 seems high. I sold one 3 years ago in NM/MT for 120.00. Hoping the Fucking A Funnies makes the grade they say.

dr_s

I bought it for the $99. Sold the last one for $300-$400. Bought Glass City Giggles 1 for resale also. The fever pitch went high to lagaund.  Even I don't charge that high.

NeatStuff? What did they have to do with these auctions? Did you mean Just Kids?
