Original owner's friend owned a comic store in the 90s and is a hustler of all kinds of antiques. Really not an easy person to deal with at all. Left behind some stuff that I hope to get later, but got the best books of the bunch. My second X-Men 1 in the wild find! I had a very eventful 4th of July. I bought the rest of this collection (around 250 more books) I then bought 100 books from a different guy, all silver age DC mystery/horror/sci-fi/Superman titles plus a couple Marvels: 11 shiverbones, ADAMANTIUM, comics4all and 8 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

porcupine48 40,594 posts Posted July 7 Usually during our dogs night time walks I check out the local free book library on the corner near our dog park.Great little homemade thing like a jumbo mailbox,we're lucky to have three in the neighbourhood.I try to replace as many books as I take,a few times I've lucked into some comics,nothing big,Ren and Stimpy,some nineties trades.Tonight I was pleased to find these,I've heard a lot of good things!(I dropped off a dozenish vhs I'd rescued from the rubbish a few days ago,they always go quick) 3 Robot Man, shiverbones and comicdonna reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buzzetta 23,964 posts Posted July 7 Any other Long Island open air flea markets that are worth going to? Does not have to have comics at all. I just like looking for interesting things. Bellmore Train Station is no longer on the menu. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I find it to be nothing short of a dump for things that you normally could not pay people to take away for you. Very bad experience I witnessed last week as well. Didn’t happen to me but it left a bad taste in my mouth. Older gentleman found himself in a bad way and until myself and another guy helped him out (and a third guy attempted to do something) people just passed him by. Given that situation combined with what the place actually offers... It leaves a very bad taste in my mouth. Given the fact that everyone is online or has access to fb groups and eBay I realize that things will never be like some of the New England flea markets that my parents took me to in the 1980’s but surely there is better than the Bellmore Train Station flea market.

rsouxlja7 1,195 posts Posted July 7 It was a good deal for sure. The first guy that I bought the X-Men 1 and Avengers 1 from didn't want to let the rest go for what I thought was a good price. Called me out of the blue this week and cut his price in half. I was very happy and surprised to get that call. 2 comics4all and ADAMANTIUM reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Callaway29 1,856 posts Posted July 8 (edited) Man I went to so many antique malls and flea markets today in a beach town (on vacation) and struck out. I went to one local comic shop and picked this up. Not sure how well I did (book is a rag) but it was one of those “I’m not going home empty handed” moments. Hard to go wrong at $25 with how this books been acting though...
