  1. Does anybody remember Comics Warehouse? They always used to run an ad in Comics International, Christ I spent a load of money with them

    Are they the guys that ran multiple full page adds in comics during the `70's and `80's? :hi:

     

    I can remember their ads in comics international, i seem to remember something about merging or becoming qaulity comics, may be wrong though.

  2. Think I have heard you mention Vault Comics before Andrew. Wonder if he's trading under another name?

     

    Not trading anymore.

     

    He had a meltdown and disappeared from the scene owing people money and books. Others helped mitigate some of it by trying to sort it out.

     

    Vault was a UK based auction site that wasn't a focus for US collectors. It was therefore a good place to pick up keys. I bought a restored MP 8.0 Tec #31 for $5k when market was more $9k.

     

    I thought it had to be something like that, you dont just pack in after building a business up like he did, i did here murmurs that people did not get big money books back, i thought he would never do anything like that, just goes to show, you never can tell.
