Well, lets go from kids stuff to Adult stuff.....   

Australian Playboys in really,really good order, (most like new) with quite a few celeb issues (not the ultra expensive Danni Minogue one sadly) - 170 of them, plus 10 Modern reprint Western thingys (which I have no idea about.)

Total Cost - $350 USD 

he Australian ones are hard to find in the states and sell easily.

Estate sale collection I picked up over the weekend. Nice full run of Thor from 130-399. I saw the 337 newsstand and knew to buy the whole box. Each box was $75. I was delighted to see the price change from .25 to .15 to .12 as I was going through the issues glued together at home. I can’t think of an 80s limited series that wasn’t in this collection. Many full runs and sets. Lots of Punisher, X-Men, Thor, Silver Surfer

Yeah definitely a deal since the price I paid per longbox was very cheap

6250 + vig

"true attic estate find"

I was hoping to get this one but too many eyes on it I guess. I went out and looked at these and the Unseen 9 & 10 are in nice condition. Some other nice books but a ton of GA in ratty brittle condition, what fun that would have been. Congrats to the buyer!

I like the $300-$500 estimate.

Since you went to see them, are all of the comics pictured? There are some good ones shown but $6000 seems nuts.

I see about 12-15 comics that are worthwhile, but depends on condition. If 15 decent ones, that is $416 per comic.

auctions of estate sales always go more than true value

rarely do i see steals/deals

No there were quite a few comics in this lot, maybe 100+, a stack 2 feet high or so. So many were falling apart. They have never been bagged from the looks of them. Here are 3.

 

Unseen 10 has a 4.5 sale at $1020 recently. (IIRC).

Quite a few dealers have adopted this methodology with the “because prices change I reserve the right to update my price before selling” type disclaimers. Essentially having customers do a big part of their job for them (aka staying on top of their inventory). I mean, I get it...but...still annoying.

That's why you put the cheap stuff on top.  When they get sick of looking up $5 books, they ask how much you want to pay for everything.

Yeah. Hard pass at $6000+.

Thursday morning yard sale advertising comics? Yeah, I'll bite. No pics of the comics, but I did see the corner of a "toys" sign. I get lost and get there 15 minutes after they open and the comics were sold "early in the morning," except for a few. Uh, yeah, I'll pass on the 10 random issues of Generation X. But I did find the toy signs. A stack of 5, I bought them all. They look familiar and the guy said they are from Toys R Us, but I'm not sure.

$7500 after vig!

$25 yard sale haul. The Alley cost as much the comics. I love play sets. They’re almost always more valuable than individual the figures they represent. This box is so darn minty.. Thrilled to own my first McFarlane autographed comic. I’ve owned around ten Stan Lee autos before I had 1 Todd.

I was watching that auction and couldn't believe the final prices on all of those lots . . . crazy

[ADAMANTIUM]

Only about fine condition

 

Kinda over paid

 

Hope the one at cgc has a better shot...

Half price books

Was supposed to go to a comic show yesterday but it got cancelled due to covid restrictions.

Wanted to spend some $$$ so got together with one of the dealers who was supposed to set up at the cancelled show and came home quite a bit lighter in the wallet but with some good stuff!

Awesome  @Bearcatcoach

There was one other promo poster....a DD from 1985.....I prefer the Thor "frog" poster myself.....

It has been like 9 months since I bought a comic live I was so excited to see someone selling at a streetside flea market. $1 each. I'm a little late on the Apocalypse books, the Lose is some sort of oddball independent that have high ebay asking prices, but not much in sales history.
