Recently I noticed the cover for TMNT #48 C Vol 6, cover by Ryan Browne. and wanted it for my collection. I originally bought an issue from eb@y for $8 and $7 shipping. I never received it so I went back on eb@y and found limited choices. The cheapest I saw was for $8.99 plus $7 shipping, but that issue looks like it has a rough corner and a spine crack so I passed. The next was $14.99 and after that a couple at $25. I ended up buying one from @mazon for $15 and free shipping.
I did a fair amount of searching; no CPG members has this listed for sale, g00gle lens almost nothing, and a general web search just showed me @mazon and eb@y.
What does the community think? Is this a valued comic, expected pricing, or price gouging? Given the adage that "something is worth what someone will pay" I m not sure what to think. Sellers need to make money so they will charge more than value, but in turn does that not raise the value? Are sellers price gouging for hard to find issues, but this also would raise value correct?
I did put in a "suggested value" because of what I saw in prices and availability but I m curious to what CPG users think about this comic specifically and/or pricing in general.
