A Wisconsin man, Ralph Chicorel has sold his collection of about 110 comics from the late 30s and 40s at a Dallas-based auction house for about $623,000. Heritage Auction Galleries reports that the comic books had been auctioned off over Memorial Day weekend. Chicorel's comics were in perfect condition...obviously raising their value significantly. Although many collectors refuse to even so much as open their collectibles, Chicorel as a kid had done so very carefully. According to Heritage Auction Galleries, "Marvel Mystery Comics" No. 9 had sold for about $108,000. |

An online auction consisting of over four hundred pieces of GM assembly equipment from the Janesville WI Assembly Plant was held last week, hosted by a Michigan-based auction house, "Maynards". The auction consisted of items both high and low tech. General Motors had recently salvaged many parts of the plant which were then shipped to other facilities within the GM family. The remaining pieces of equipment were then auctioned off. Why the need to auction this equipment off? GM owes the U.S. Treasury a sizable amount of money due to their recent bailout...$13.5 billion dollars in fact.The online auction has now ended, and General Motors was not willing to disclose the items' appraised values or how much the company made on the auction. Successful bidders have been told to pick up their items by June 25th. |

When Paul Mayer received an early morning e-mail a few weeks back, his eyes opened wide. He’d just hit pay dirt. Fourteen large-format pictures of damage from New Richmond’s cyclone in 1899 were up for sale and he was a willing buyer. “Someone from Indiana or Ohio were selling them,” Mayer said. “How they got them, who knows.” |
