Popular Post ygogolak Posted January 31, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 31, 2020 Went to a new store. No prices on back issues...ugh. Said most of the independents would be cover. I put together a stack and most were. Finally found one of these. Unfortunately he looked it up and said, "oh, this one is rare apparently. Cheapest one listed is $170 (or something)." I didn't even bother asking for a price. At least I finally have found one in the wild and I did get a great deal on some other books. fastballspecial, ADAMANTIUM, WolverineX and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if you use the eBay prices because there are not many sold. I feel like they're just arbitrary numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking them up at check out blows. I never return to places like that. But hey, at least you found one. Keys_Collector and ygogolak 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rarely buy books from them anymore Ask the owner if he does the same lookup when he buys books, then list your own dollar books on Ebay for $170 and give him 90% off because he's such a good guy. waaaghboss, silversurfer275, maidenmate91 and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol. I don't buy ever buy backstock from him after he started that. First of all, that scanner doesn't account for book condition. Second of all, it's annoying not knowing the price.... Third of all, sellers get less then the actual ebay price, and that's not accounted by their machine.... Anyway, Don't want to incentive bad behavior.

BishopT Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) I decided to go to Borderland’s annual sale instead of the Charlotte Mini Con and I think I made out okay. There were over 100 boxes of 25 cent comics($60 longbox, which I did), the back issues of normal value were half off, and I got 25% off two higher grade copies of UXM 129 (one was VF/NM or better with press the other VF-). These are the highlights of my 25 cent or less finds: Edit: the ASM 25 is a non foil direct edition and I’ve never seen that Island of Adventure variant (seen plenty of the Hulk centric cover, but this one is signed by the cosplay actors at the time lol).
