| Got some comics at half price for 10 cents each today they where suppose to put $1.00 tags on them nothing special couple of $5.00 thru $10.00 issues but kind of fun. They were cool about it but the second I was done boy did they grab that box and change the prices. What was funny there was a BARBIE #50 which I would never buy but kept on looking at it and when I got home looked it up it was worth $12.00 go figure. Now can't pull the trigger for a $1 but .10cents would have been nice. Jesse James

I have two stories you can tell me which is hte better deal.
Back in the early 90s I picked up 2 copies of Valiant's Harbinger 1 - 6, so I could keep 6 in NM condition and the other 6 to clip the coupons to get issue 0. I think it was around '93, but I can't remember for sure, all I know is that the Valiant wave was riding high. It was at this time that I went to a comic con and traded those 7 issues for Green Lantern issues 76 - 87. No cash exchanged hands, it was just a trade of books. At the time this was a decent deal and for all I know he had these GL issues for 2 years with no movement, but here comes a kid with Valiants that are red hot, and he wants these slow moving books. Today that would not fly, but that's what makes it such a great deal. Like I told a friend at the time of the deal, I could always find the Valiants again, but the GLs will be difficult to find and only get more expensive.
Now for a more recent deal. I recently purchased a large collection from a guy who's kids no longer wanted them. It seems that his kids have moved out of the area and neither wanted the comic collection. He had a list and it seemed like a nice collection; Wolverine issues 1 -139, complete run of X-Factor and the New Mutants. I called him and asked what he wanted, he said $300.00. I offered $150.00 and the deal was done. Well the list was only about 30% complete. Sure there were books like X-men and Star Trek, but there were some nice gems. Complete run of the Transformers, with issues 70 - 80 in the best shape. Dead Pool 1 - 33 and both mini series. and the best find, a 3 pack of So Much Fun comics, still sealed in the bag! Like I said there is trash in there, really does anyone want any of the 2099 books? Still this was a great find.
It looks like a low post count, but I had over 250 on the old site.

| Ok, well here it goes..... About 1994, I purchased about 2200 books for $500. The Dell's alone would have been worth it. But, here are a few other goodies from that batch. Capt America 100-112, Venus 17, Challengers of the Unknown 4, Silver Surfer 1-17, Uncanny X-Men 94-111, GS X-Men 1, Conan 1-50 and a ton of other goodies.
 DON'T MIND ME, I'M JUST TRACKING DOWN THESE UNCANNY X-MEN COMICS!

Most of the comic lots I buy on eBay are usually pretty awesome, and cheap. One box I got for $50 and I found a lot of old 1940-1950 Dell comic's in there.
10 years ago my local comic shop got in a Life With Archie number 2. They were selling it for $50, but because I was one of their regular customer's, they sold it to my dad for $25 (I was 12 at the time, sooo...)

Best deal I ever had was when I was about 10 or so in the late seventies. An ad in the paper had a comic book lot for sale for 35 dollars. I was the first caller and got slightly over 800 comics. Mostly superhero stuff. You can guess the original cover prices....10, 12, 15, 20 and I think the highest price was 25 cents if I remember correctly. I was REALLY happy then and still have great thoughts about that day. And yes I still have them.
I've got a new video on break.com. Here it is: http://www.break.com/usercontent/2009/7/funny-commercial-for-collectibles-research-website-829249.html
