Nothing crazy but I did pick up a few books from the antique mall that previously never had books before. Even though the score wasn't big I always enjoy going through books. This one was fun because there was a lot of Conans to look at. I thought He-Man was a winner as it looked really clean but it had some foxing on the back cover.

Thanks. A bit out of my hood though. Antique malls rare have anything good around here any more. Especially comics.

It’s pretty slim pickings over here too. I did find these at a different antique store earlier today. Bitter sweet as these were the only books he had set aside. The rest someone cleared him out of everything.

My LCS has started giving me leads on collections. I am looking at one today. Anyone have this sort of relationship with their LCS? Do you pay them if the leads turn out well? Or should I just throw him some good books from the lot for free for the lead?

I give them AOL trial CDs to make into cool store mobiles.

I'm assuming your LCS doesn't deal in back issues, only subscriptions for new books?!?

A finder's fee is definitely worthwhile if you want to keep that relationship healthy.  I'd pay in cash... the store owner would rather have money, and you'd rather keep your keys.

I offer a 10% finders fee to pretty much everyone I know or deal with.  Keeps them calling me where they know they will get free cash.  Problem is most people in my area want to keep the collections and sell the books themselves so i don't get many calls.
