You will probably do well if you list them on ebay. I also got a NA11 as well as Infinite Crisis 3 & 5 today for $1 and $2.

Finally got to pick my own $1 boxes before all the pickers get all the stuff I forget about....lol

Cool looking Carnage mug with original box. 

Hah, I have one of these that I keep on a shelf in my cubicle. Staring at a co-worker, along with a couple rubber bouncing eyes that were Original Sin promotions...

Xmas time is always a good comic buying time for me, picked up these 2 hard to find books at an antique auction

You take the good with the bad in this hobby...

 

Tag sale advertised for Sunday morning, advertising hundreds of Silver Age comics, including [the ad listed lots of comics], see the photos!

Alright! Game on!

So, I call the company running the sale on Saturday and was told that a sign up sheet would be available starting at 6 p.m. Great!

Drive 35 minutes each way to the house where the sale will be, sign up as number 5 on the list. Great!

Drive back to the sale Sunday morning. What's going on? Why are people driving away already? Oh, there's my friend Rob. Hi Rob, what's going on? Bill, they sold them already! What do you mean, the sale isn't scheduled to open yet. Yes, but they're gone. The guy running the sale came out and asked if anyone wanted to buy them all. Someone did, for $4,000.

Ummm...

That blows.  It's pretty dumb on the seller's part to just take the first offer, even if the amount looks good you're leaving money on the table and conducting bad business (assuming this is a company that regularly schedules auctions).  I went to an estate auction where the auctioneer pulled items because on that day the attendance was poor and expected better results - I've never gone back to that guy since.

Just grabbed this locally, I knew I wouldn't be able to find another one for the advertised price so I jumped on it.  It's currently in the shed for now until I know what to do with it, but the condition is great - no rust or anything!  I'm not sure of the origin, I want to say 70s/80s?

Estate sale this morning. Went for the All Star 1st Powergirl, which has a small stain near the top of the cover but ended up buying all this stuff (for the flip potential) and about 10 art books to add to my daughter's Christmas gifts.

 

I probably should have stopped at the one comic but the force (to flip) is strong in this one!

I'll need an explanation on the Richie Rich.  In my part of the world, those are the drekkiest of drek.

I figured just buy the stack, these were every comic at the estate sale and it is easier than tipping them off to the one semi-valuable book in there. I was #3 through the door and number 4 wanted the comics as well.

Hit a bunch of garage sales this morning - bought these from 2 different sales, all $1 each

 

[ADAMANTIUM]

Rescued these from the used bookstore... glad I went in, they were having a sale, the Neal Adams while only a VG was only $3....... the spawn/batman is only a "F" but at $2 I'll read it

Stopped by a garage sale advertising 3 for $1.00 on books this morning.

Picked up a bunch of Continuity Comics for the Neal Adams covers and randoms to fill gaps in my runs.

Give the Richies away at Halloween. Little kids love getting "OLD" comics and they are completely age-appropriate.

Nice pickup on that spawn batman. Keep an eye out for the newsstand editions with yellow UPC. Cool to collect. 

Neal Adams for $3? All day son!
