  1. So, I should hold onto them instead of selling them now???

    It may be just a matter of which shop I go to.

     

    Capstone comics I'm 0-3 in trying to get Chew 1, 2, and 2nd print 1, and they are the "good" store with the cool stuff.

     

    I go to Dragon's Lair (the commercial comic shop) that same day each time and I find three #1's, a stack of #2's. Going to give them a call in a sec.

  2. I wonder if anybody's realised that the only reason the demand isn't being met for this book is because everybody who can get copies are actually buying multiples to speculate.

     

    Once that demand is filled, down goes the price.

     

    its hard to fill the demand unless everyone has copies, which they don't and probably won't because of people buying multiple copies, low print run, etc.

     

    not to mention Chew IS a good read... the lack of supply isn't the only factor driving the price up.

  3. Thought Id ask this general question, but I think I already know the answer. I have been working on finishing my entire basement over the last year and a half. Full 18' wet bar, with back bar, nice bathroom, drop ceiling, the works. I am going to use the back room and make for my comics, and then the wife brought up a disturbing point. I have two teen-age daughters. They both like to have friends over now and hang in the basement. Two large plasma t.v.s. lots of room. But,..........my wife says, "you going to put those books down there with your slabs on the walls with all those kids going down there". AAAAAAAAAAArgh. Didnt think of that. So, being a decent carpenter and handyman, I was thinking about making some nice wood cabinets that would hold 12 short boxes, with doors on the front that i could put a lock on and keep the snooping kids out when no ones around. ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS DILEMA. I know I like to trust kids to an extent, but theres always temptation when no ones around. hm

    If there's a door leading to this backroom, maybe you should consider adding a dead-bolt lock as well. That way you can keep it open when you're at home but locked when the daughters have guests over.

     

    No door or even a wall. Its all open. Didnt want it to look boxed in. Guess I'll have to build some cabinets. I looked at some of the pre-fab ones at Lowes and Home

    Depot. Just chip board garbage, and I dont like the way they look anyway.

    Have you considered locking file cabinets?

     

    Well, thats an idea. Id have to look and see the dimensions and how many books I could fit into one. I like the idea of building something that would match the rest of the basement, trim wise and such. I also thought that if i made some thing it would have removable shelving inside to lighten it up in case I have to move it.

    Check page 135 of this thread for Mschmidt's comic room. Super clean and great use of file cabinets. What will you do about securing comics you'd like to display?

  4. The newest addition to my comic room arrived today! I know I'm geeky, but hey I gotta be me and I am thrilled with it

    Does that chair open any trap doors in the floor to dispose of those who have failed you for the last time?

  5. Would you consider altering it or creating one that says "Cal-bot is my Homeboy" ?

     

    By request!

    And Cal, I know you didn't blow the whistle on CAL-Bot. And it's awesome that you can laugh and have fun with this. That's all it is: just good fun. :foryou:
