maidenmate91 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 (edited) Those x-mens are insane at $2 a piece. Who the f doesn't know what those are?!? Also nice immortal hulk finds. I'm not invested in that one unfortunately. I try not to follow the hype train too hard. Edited March 30, 2019 by maidenmate91 bellrules 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like theft or something. I find it hard to believe that someone buys these at $3 or so a pop ad then immediately dumps them off at a used bookstore for almost 100% loss. Makes no sense to me. Something is surely amiss... And @bellrules. How are you? Do you have another 80 boxes to sell me?

I assume people want to read the new issue, they got their entertainment then want to recoupe a few pennies. F For Fake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday I found a run of all of the Detective Countdown books, last few issues of Heroes in Crisis, etc. Happens all the time. I think there are definitely still pure "readers" out there who don't care about the value once they're done reading them. They sell them to HPB for 10 cents and buy another book.

I saw avengers #684, didn't think twice, but went back and gone unfortunately.... I haven't mastered on how to stay knowledgeable for HPB. I go and look through the secure bins, but many people Don't bother with those and just look for books like your examples F For Fake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never found anything worth buying in there. But they routinely dump valuable moderns in the dollar bin because new stuff just isn't on their radar.

Popular Post bellrules Posted April 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 2, 2019 Had a busy weekend rescuing books from the 1 and 2 dollar boxes at a couple of shows. Ended up with some Neal Adams covers, rare Whitmans, some CPVs and a great looking first appearance of Lady Death.
