The deal was this .25 a comic with a $20.00 minumum. Of course i broke that in the 1st three boxes in the end I got over 350 comics with tax and all $95.00 after logging them in the net value was $1975.00 key buys where ultimate spider man #1 thru #25 Marvel tales #3 in good condition but fun find and alot of golden (33) and silver age (100) What was your best buy/steal/find? ps if you live in washington they have done this sale every year for 10 years this was my first one. let me know if you need the companies name for next time

Best deal/find I ever had was getting an Incredible Hulk 181 8.5 for grading my bosses' friend's collection about 12 years ago (with a few Neal Adams X-men to boot).

I have managed some good deals on ebay, but nothing spectacular and my gains are far outweighed by my losses!

| My best find was about 6 years ago. I was bidding on some books on ebay and a fellow ebay member contacted me and said he was interested in selling his collection, but he didn't want to do the whole ebay listing thing for the issues. He sent me an excel spreadsheet of everything he had and to my surprise there was Iron Fist 14 (first appearance of Sabretooth), Spider-man 300 (first appearance of Venom), and a bunch of Uncanny X-men numbered between 100 - 150. Plus there was a lot of other stuff, but those are the main ones worth mentioning. I told him which ones I was interested in. He came back and said he would give the ones I wanted to me for $120. I accepted. Sure I remember it being a little risky sending a payment to a random guy without any type of written or digital contract in place, but I figured it would be worth it if this guy was for real. And sure enough, within a week he had sent everything. I currently have the Iron Fist 14 hanging on my wall in a shadowbox graded by CGC as 9.4. I haven't graded the Spider-man yet, but I did notice that on the inside of the cover it was signed by Todd Mcfarlane. He told me that ahead of time, but I wasn't sure to believe if it was real or not, but after doing some research I found that Mcfarlane has been known to sign comics on the inside of the cover rather than on the outside. Oh and one of those X-men was number 142 and it has a John Byrne signature inside the cover as well.
You fargin sneaky bastadge.

I managed to win 400 comics for $200 at an estate auction once.
I won a Frank Miller "Batman: Dark Knight Strikes Again" worth over $300 for $20 on ebay.
