[Readcomix' First Sales Thread - Assorted, esoteric, affordable

Welcome to my first sales thread! 

Background: I'm a long-time collector, not a dealer, starting at age 5 in the early '70's with a 20-cents-a-day habit. My eBay feedback is all as a buyer (same name); never sold there and no plans to. I do have a small kudos thread here, having made a handful of purchases from and sales to fellow boardies. I'll attempt to follow what I believe are commonly accepted best practices, based on my reading here and in the rules posting. If I miss something, gentle polite nudges are welcome. Or just kick me in the head. Whatever. Let's have fun with comics!

Rules:  

Shipping is $8 U.S. Or $16 to Canada; up to 2 lbs (about 8 books) over that will be actual. (1 oz. over 2 lbs jumps Canadian shipping by $10 USD!) No international, sorry. Cutting my teeth. I'm using those newfangled flip and ship comic mailers, and have gotten good feedback on them. 

No HOS, probies, or treacherous villains, please.

PM's welcome of course, but  in the thread trumps all, time stamp rules.

Payment is Money Order or check.

Returns: Sure, just notify me within 3 days of receipt and pay return shipping. Unless of course return is due to my error/something I missed.

Okay, in the immortal words of Lawrence Taylor, "Let's all get out there like some crazed dogs a' have some fun!"

 gotta go to bed soon but watching.  

[Patriot6]

 

[Readcomix]

Let's start with a tough-to-find GGA book. Patsy and Hedy #5, calling it a lower side of VG with rough and somewhat rolled spine, overall wear and a visible split on the lower end (cover only, about half-inch). $40

 

[AJCohen]

Rick your eyes are getting droopy......

[Readcomix]

Welcome, guys and thanks for checking it out!

[Ricksneatstuff]

Promising start

[Readcomix]

Next up, a pair o' Peanust: Tip Top 192 complete but about 1.5 with roll, wrinkles, pieces missing, stains. And Tip Top 220 looking 3-ish but missing centerfold so .5. Take the pair for $15.

[Readcomix]

Next up, some Alex Toth goodness  Dale Evans #3, VG. Small piece missing lower left and lower right, some spine wear, a little dusty but bright. $60

Provenance: Western Printing file copy, picked up from a retired pressman who left with a few comics, as many did, when the Poughkeepsie, NY plant (opposite Marist College) closed in the 1980's.

 

[Readcomix]

How about some tough Archie sci-fi/GGA with Bob White? Cosmo the Merry Martian #4, lower end of VG. A slightly more solid looking (from what I Could tell) copy went for $42 on the 'Bay tonight, so let's say $35.

 

[Readcomix]

Okay, let's post some low price-point items now, but we will close big later....

Archie at Riverdale High #2, about Fine. Li'l Jinx in "Wish Boner." Nuff said. $5

 

[Readcomix]

Peanuts #3, about 2.0 due to some writing, stains. $10.

[Readcomix]

Johnny Thunder #1-3, full set, in that Fine range. Lotsa pix. Take the set for $10.

[Readcomix]

Next up, Fawcett western fun photo cover...Hopalong Cassidy #51, VG/F 5.0 range. $35.

[Readcomix]

Batting ninth, Wally Wood....Thunder Agents #5, VG, $5.

 

[Readcomix]

Jet Dream #1, fine, $10. If this book needs any commentary, you don't deserve it. 

[Readcomix]

Let's do a lot of four Santa Claus Funnies...Dell four color #'s 1154, 867 and two copies of 958. #867 is the coveted "Elyse" collection with her trademark colored-in Christmas tree. The rest are free of embellishment. VG/F range books. All four for $30.

[Readcomix]

Sticking with Four Color, here's #528, Dale Evans, low grade. Fair 1.5. Spine roll, wear, cover hanging on by top staple, CF detached. Complete. $5.

[Readcomix]

Bronze but uncommon, and a must for Archie fans...Fast Willie Jackson #3 in VG with slight spine roll and general wear. If I didn't have another, this would NOT be leaving. Fascinating back story to this seven-issue run from Golden Legacy comics. Worth an Internet search to read about. $30.
