In looking at Bob Storms thread, there was a discussion on ASM #6 CGC 9.4. Interestingly enough, I've been tracking that book (along with others) and it's sales price. One of the auctions I've been tracking is Pedigree Auctions.
Speaking of which, Pedigree sold the AS #6 9.4 for $7,500 in their last auction with CGC serial number: 0952657001.
The same book is up for sale in their inventory for $10,000.
The book has been removed from the auction results.

The book has been removed from the auction results.
http://www.pedigreecomics.com/auction-detail.php?issue_id=29226http://www.pedigreecomics.com/detail.php?issue_id=29226The Avengers #4 9.4 has sold in more than 1 auction with no reserve and it is put back into his inventory at his ask price every time. It is my understanding that Doug owns this book and the AS #6 CGC 9.4 as well as other examples.
Here's another example. This time a Mound City purchase:
http://www.pedigreecomics.com/detail.php?issue_id=30211http://www.pedigreecomics.com/auction-detail.php?issue_id=30211This Flash #129 CGC 9.4 sold for $500 in the auction. Now it is listed back in his inventory for $2,500.
On a personal level, I like Doug and hold no ill will. I don't like what's happened in the past with the way he's handled a few things and I'll let the facts speak for themselves here.
Yes, a buyer could have backed out multiple times. Yes, I believe it's more likely that N.P. Gresham's twin brother is bidding on books at Pedigree.
