Warning: dead ahead ......

 

I've always thought of the Board Only Selling Forum as a place where one goes to get/give a "good" deal from/to another member of this community. Frankly, I'm getting pretty tired of folks listing books here for considerably more than these exact same books sold for just a few months ago at one of the major auction houses. Why would anyone pay 30~40% more for the same specimen they passed on just a few short weeks/months ago? I have nothing against capitalism and/or flipping per se, but I would never try beat my own family out of a few bucks. Note to prospective buyers: Heritage's Permanent Auction Archives is your friend.

 

And now, we return to our regularly scheduled programming.

 

I gotta agree.. while there are some great deals on the boards lately, it seems that most people are pricing their books way too high. I've hardly bought anything here this summer.. I've found better deals on ebay, heritage, and comiclink.

 

But really...if you don't like the price, don't buy it.

Pretty simple, really.

 

Hey, no problem there. I'm getting quite good at not buying things. It's a lot more fun to pop the guy, though.

For some reason, I really love those purple Captain Marvel and Captain Midnight covers. Makes no sense to me since I don't really like the color purple.. something about the color combo of the purple and the character costumes, though. Great book!

A friend found this for me at a vinyl shop. Larry Welz did a Cherry Poptart cover for a 45 by the MonoMen. Sweet!

Pssst.. There's one on ebay right now with a cheap BIN.

Cool thread! Great artwork, everyone!

Not sure if I can post my fine art nudes here, so I didn't.

Missed it by that much. Very nice Carrot!

More Planets.... 29 to go!

Nice! One of these days I'll be working on a Planet run. The cover art is amazing. Is there a Planet Comics reprint omnibus? I'd love to read them all.

Love the Popeye.

Aw.. thanks everyone.

I was really happy when that book arrived in the mail. It is in much better shape than I expected.

My favorite recent pick-up.

Some great books I picked up today at Wizard Phila from Jeff Weaver:

 

Lost Valley copy, Gerber 7, no show

I've been eyeing that book at recent shows. It's a beauty. Nice pick up.

BIG KUDOS to:

[font:Arial Black]cyberjad[/font].. for a great slab trade.

[font:Arial Black]EggsAckley[/font].. for some sweet undergrounds.

[font:Arial Black]mshcmidt[/font].. for more high-grade Aragones and indie junk than I have time to read.

[font:Arial Black]divad[/font].. for my Spirit slab prize from the March Madness grading contest.

[font:Arial Black]r1982rhoads[/font].. for some nostalgia-rific 80s books.

[font:Arial Black]lookwhoitis[/font].. for an elusive issue of Groo. Four more to go!

[font:Arial Black]iggy[/font].. for a nice Superman w/ Captain Strong.

[font:Arial Black]Ze-man[/font].. for being the nicest guy in comic restoration and for treating my grail book with such great care.

I picked these up at a comic shop today. 12 cards, envelopes included. Originally priced $9.95.

I haven't seen them anywhere before.. none on ebay as far as I can tell.

No, I was not referring to the picture of the staples. DiceX copied a post of mine into this thread from last year where I said about 90% of this, so THANKS FOR WASTING EVERYONE'S TIME.

It didn't waste my time. I found it informative.
