furystorm's 40% off everything left in thread!!!

I'm going to begin the task of listing my 5000+ comic collection tonight...

 

With 26 short boxes cataloged, and 30 left to go, I have come to the realization that if I did submit my collection to Lone Star for one lump sum, I would probably be bent over, or even appalled at the offer that might result. So I have come to the conclusion that I must at least give an attempt to move the issues in sets, or otherwise, by another method.

 

The 26 shorts I have cataloged thus far account for 2842 issues in total, so I can only assume that over the course of 25 years of collecting I have roughly 5000 books ready to be sold off.

 

I'm new to the board, but have arrived here with the intention of completing a run of FF. So here is where I can begin to fill my paypal coffers. Hopefully some of you will find something you need, want, or desire to add to your own personal collections.

 

I collected heavily from 1985-1993, and then again during 1996-1997, and then in true earnest from 2002 to the present. A couple of collections have been collated into mine, and I almost don't even know what will present itself. The collection has overrun my guest bedroom. They have to move out.

 

The bulk of my modern collection was handpicked by me while working on new comic day at my LCS. All have been bagged an boarded since day one, and many many are unread as I was buying duplicates and not reading every title which I collected.

 

I also have a database of the first 26 boxes, if anyone wants to take a peek at it and make an offer on runs of books. I'm hoping to keep things in manageable sets, and will determine how many will fit in a priority box this evening as well.

 

Free comics with every purchase!

 

Okay, the fine print:

 

1. I like this one so, :takeit: rules in this thread, unless I have a PM from another member concerning purchase of the same items before your post.

 

2. These books will be priced to move, most at $1 a piece, and many sets below that price, but I am open to reasonable offers on bulk purchases as well.

 

3. Minimum purchase is 10 comics, or $10 per order.

 

4. I will collate your purchases for one week, and ship every Friday after payment has been received. If you would like quicker shipping, or have purchased everything you would like, just shoot me a PM and we can arrange for quicker shipping.

 

5. Paypal is strongly preferred.

 

6. Shipping: Will be by Priority Flat Rate Medium Box at $10.95 for up to 40 comic books. Other means, including Media Mail are available if you wish to inquire. Please PM me with any offers. International shipping is available, but please inquire before committing to a purchase.

 

7. I like to include free comics with every purchase, simply to protect the outer ends of wrapped books. I try to make them match what you have in your order as well, and have been known to send a valuable book out once in a while as the free fodder, by mistake of course. I am armed with an Overstreet now though...

 

8. No probation list buyers. Thank you.

 

9. Please feel free to PM me with any questions, concerns, offers, or otherwise. :D

So, starting with just a few trades I have left over from last year's TPB purge, and just happen to be sitting on top of the first box of comics. All look virtually unread, as I never break spines on my trades, and the Shazam is unread.

And now just staying in order in the boxes...

 

And scrapping the idea of scanning every comic. Any particular issue can be scanned upon request, otherwise the first in the run will serve as the consensus of what all the books look like. Any major defects will be disclosed by me, of course.

 

Heroes for Hire 1 from 1997 $2

And that is it for the first short box. This is definitely a labor intensive tactic to selling comics. I know I've only been at it for a couple of hours, but there have been no bites yet. Hmmm...

 

Maybe I will dip into some nice bronze stuff just to get the thread hopping later on tonight. I wonder what I can dig up.

 

I'm open to suggestions on how to make my sales thread work too. Thanks :D

 

Going out for a pizza, and will list at least another short box tonight.

Okay, I'm back and ready to scan. I've pulled out two boxes of who knows what, but there seem to be a lot of Marvel variants in one and for some reason I have that particular box marked "Good Stuff."

 

The other box is full of items I deemed worthy of rebagging and reboarding a few years back which never seemed to get collated into the main collection.

 

So here is the plan for my Friday night at home alone. Scan of every book that seems worthy in these two boxes, upload, and present them here one by one.

 

Unless otherwise noted, each book is $1 (although I do believe there will be many exceptions tonight)

 

Enjoy! :D

 

Also, post 100! Woot!

Uploading 64 images, so 64 books with a few dupes coming right up. Whacky and weird stuff in here. Surprised even myself.

 

If anybody needs a better scan of anything or wants me to give a ballpark grade on an individual book or multiples, just let me know via PM, and I will do so. I'm not adept at grading so I will skew my grades down a bit.

 

Coming right up...
