Came across this in a stack of Archie and Richie Rich at a flea market today. I made the comment that I was only looking for superhero comics just as I flipped to this...

He said to make an offer and I just gestured at it dumbfounded. He finally said $5 and I asked my daughter what she thought (she didn't know what it was yet) and then said OK. 

Cool! You did good and handled it right. I know what “make me an offer” usually means and I just don’t do it. I always say “It belongs to you and you know what you got into it. What would make you happy?”  If they don’t want to do that I walk away. More times than not they will quote me a price that I am very happy with.

Took a bit of a gamble on these, as TMNT books aren’t really my thing and I don’t know how to tell reprints from originals - guy said he bought them off the stand in the ‘80s, read them once then put them away.  I said fine at about $13 each.  The #1 he had was marked a reprint (not a later printing) so I left it behind.

This is from inside the #2, where it would usually say second printing, so I think it’s ok.

That's a sweet Fugitoid! ^^

At $13 I might have picked up the #1 but it's all food ;)

Looks like you did good. Here is a second printing.

My daughter pulled her Turtles toys out of the attic last month. Not sure, but I haven’t found her comics. 

Would probably be some one’s garage sale score here...:roflmao:

I'm loving those toys, especially the Saba and Real Ghostbusters stuff.

I went to my first flea market in forever yesterday because a vendor there was advertising $1 books for a $0.25 and priced books at 50% off. Silly me, being out of the game so long, I didn't have an updated list to really dig into the priced books and got there a bit late so the $1 boxes (of which there were a lot) were picked through rather well. Still I found some things I'm sure I didn't have yet, plus a few little oddities. The last photo with Son of Satan were a couple books from a different flea market.

I will never pass on The Real Ghostbusters stuff if possible. I think that line and the 2000's Harley Quinn series are the only ones that I'm all too happy to have multiples upon multiples of.

Lots of 90s Batman, Superman, and Next Men currently at DisoRays shop in Guelph, Ontario for 50 cents each.   I only took the ones I was interested so there is about a small box worth still there.  Half are bagged and boarded, and the other half not.  WHO does that with their comics??   This one I bag and board, this one will have to fend for itself.

For 50 cents a piece, that's great!

@F For Fake speaking of Nintendo!! Found this modest find at the used bookstore from 1987 :)

NM copies seemed to sell for tens of dollars lol

main thing is that this copy is complete with stickers! Sure the internet is most people's guide now a days, but it's got most of the nes mini games on it so I can USE it and just keep it in its current condition....

had a pesky $5 sticker on it lol

I love filling in my FF run with .50 or less.  The Waid/Wieringo stuff is great, probably the last real fun FF stuff to be written.

Love those stickers. 

Saw an old Mile High Comics mag that had Mario on the cover.  

Was thinking it's the next Malibu/Spawn.
