Exciting just to look at the auction page.
So exciting. Hook Jaw, Dredger, Hellman! Whoever wins is going to be a lucky lad.
Some lucky sod bought the entire pre-censor run of Action on Ebay for just over £50 back in May - Less than £2 an issue!
Went up $500,000 in the last minute !! (seller musta been pleased), and a last second sniper tried to nick it with their $3,207,752.00 bid but it was too low, maybe the winner's max bid was something like $3,500,000 - oh to have that much money lying about the place.
(and thankfully the seller didn't add a "plus $20 post+packaging" thing that some sellers do with their expensive items, cos that'd be taking the pss.)
I think it'll be a case of it being transported by security guards in an armoured van from one bank vault to another.
Isn't the one auctioned already slabbed by CGC?

As you follow them, any chance you could ask what their MAX BID was, cos I'm curious/nosey about those things ?
Haha, I couldn't ask that! They won't be telling anyway. It would appear that it doesn't come as a surprise to anyone that they on the auction. The whole thing reeks of publicity stunt!
Oh, and I notice someone has asked them how they intend to have it delivered.
There was a small bit about it on Radio 4 last night.

[edit] not sure why I just did this.
It's on the BBC website http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-28936096
Thank you! I don't believe there are only 100 copies approx. surviving. Sounds like rubbish perpetuated by dealers to validate the prices. The major US dealers always have copies for sale, albeit lower grade.
Here the owner of ComicConnect/Metropolis with loads of copies:
