He said funny you should ask and then let me put them out there for him, and there were like 5-6 12 inch tall stacks That was fun! so I got 1st dibs ha Edited April 16, 2021 by ADAMANTIUM Namtak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the blob Posted April 16, 2021 Author Share Posted April 16, 2021 I need to visit some places. The place I buy my bags and boards from is completely picked over (mostly by me) and they don't seem to be putting new cheap stuff out. I probably need to revisist my other spot around me, but last time i was there I spent about $150, and, frankly, it was mostly long term stuff. not much in the way of immediate winners. I'm hoping something pops in the 2-3 years each I bought of Batman, Detective, and Action from 2017-2019. ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the blob Posted April 18, 2021 Author Share Posted April 18, 2021 I spent 2 hours digging through 40 magazine boxes at a shop and bought 160 50 cent books. I'm really hoping The New 52 Batwoman Bounces back (10 copies), black adam/issues (7) too.. Some low print late milestones, y the last 7, stars stripes 4, doctor voodoo 1, Hawkeye 7 2d print..pictured are basically all the books that have a good shot at $5+. Not so exciting. The Batwoman was doing $20 a while back. So.. There's a reason the others were in the 50 cent box. Not terrible stuff. I picked up a lot of new 52 Justice league darks, batgirls... oldmilwaukee6er and ADAMANTIUM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolverineX Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 On 4/4/2021 at 7:22 PM, awakeintheashes said: Yeah. Couldn’t believe it. Thanks. Think it’s my reward for not going off on someone who sold a collection out from under me last week. We literally set the time for pick for last Monday and over the weekend it was marked as sold. I asked if it had sold to someone else and was told it was picked up on Saturday. I bit my lip and said “oh bummer”. But, I was real salty. Insane pickup. How did you find out about the collection?

That was my 2nd score in under a month. Takes a while, but eventually you find the people unloading their childhood or downsizing their lives.

Facebook proper makes me want to stab myself in the neck...but the marketplace is a different story. At least near me, Craigslist is filled with 1000 people offering to buy collections and 2 people selling a collection of drek for thousands of dollars. So, facebook is where I pay most of my attention and look to build relationships with people selling their stuff. littledoom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buying/Selling comics is about relationships. Some of my best deals were that way. awakeintheashes, WolverineX and littledoom 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the blob Posted April 23, 2021 Author Share Posted April 23, 2021 (edited) Ok, 10 years ago, I am cheating. So my shop had the variant up top for $10, couldn't sell it at $8 either, gave up, and I scooped out of the dollar box for either $1 or 15 for $10. I guess it sells for $40-50 now, but I don't see a lot of them. Edited April 23, 2021 by the blob littledoom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
