telerites Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 I have never understood why his Ebay listings are cheaper than buying on his site. It is listed for $28,050 buying directly from Mile High - https://www.milehighcomics.com/cgi-bin/backissue.cgi?action-list&title=75026711520&snumber=1 Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post serling1978 Posted August 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 20, 2020 I once read an article where he openly admitted he overcharges because he can. His logic was that comics are very prevalent on the East coast but harder to find on the West coast so he can overcharge based on demand . I don't know the date of that interview, but unless it was from before the mid 90s... If only there existed some sort of futuristic technology that made it possible for people on the West coast to find comics outside of their immediate geographical location.... october, 1950's war comics, H0RR0RSH0W and 5 others 1 7 Link to post Share on other sites

evilskip Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 I would gladly offer $5.00 American. Maybe even $6.50. It has been on ebay for 382 days. Maybe Chuckles should make a scan of it. Link to post Share on other sites

musicmeta Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Been a long time since I've bought any comics from Mile High and they were pretty current issues and they were ok. I did order some back issue comics "once"..They were way over graded...never again. DocHoppus182 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Hard to believe that a company that large could be that lazy and gets my come on man really award for tonight. I'm sure there are more out there but wanted to share and hear what others have to say.

Artboy99 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 the entire thing is a mess. - the stock image is a 3.0 type of book with rips showing on the cover, why use that crappy image at all? - scan the actual book! You want 14k then put up quality resolution pics and lots of them. I have never bought from Milehigh and never will due to the extremely lazy business practices. Link to post Share on other sites
