Very smooth transaction, bought an ASM 5 9.0, shipped Friday arrived by Saturday morning. Prompt replies to PM's, highly recommended.

Huge difference between archaeologists and relic hunters. That is what they refer to themselves as, "battlefield archaeologists". There are detractors who would say they are grave robbers, relic hunters, and I'm sure some of them are.

Check out warrelics.eu/forum, these guys are hardcore battlefield archeologists. You would be shocked at what is still laying around, 60, 70, 80 years later. These are mostly European/Eastern European archeologists who search places like Stalingrad, Kursk, the Courland Pocket for relics from the Second World War. More often than not they find lots of unexploded ordinance, rusted weapons laying on the ground and the remains of soldiers. I'm not pimping their site, it's just something I find interesting.

Pretty good and understandable explanation linked here. Full of spoilers for those who haven't played yet. http://venturebeat.com/2013/04/19/understanding-bioshock-infinites-ending-ending-explanation/

glad to see this thread back on pg 1. I'm going to list my beat up copy of Ice Hockey on Ebay and include the phrase "like Stadium Events" to justify my 2k BIN price.

Hey other Dave - Did this combination flea market/comic show happen to be in northern-ish Illinois? -- dave It was, at the Wolf Flea Market in Palatine. They've been advertising this as Mighty-con for the last 8 months or so. I went to the first Mighty-con in August of 2012, and I think the number of vendors was the same. I was there, too. I think I've been to every Mighty Con so far. It's nice in that you get vendors together in the same place, but usually the same vendors every time it runs. The FREE price was very nice, though. Somehow I missed that YTLM - nice grab. I don't remember picking up much, but a couple good buys. -- dave I got 4 issues of Sixth Gun at cover, if that counts as a score. Depends on which ones... 9, 12, 14, 19 I also bought issue 2 for $12, probably a VF copy -NM at best. Yes, I saw that #2 sitting there. Wasn't sure if I wanted it or not in that condition - would just be for flipping. I also put back a couple Peter Panzer #2 b/c of condition. Was that the booth the YLTM was at? I picked up a couple Teen Titans #44, a DC Comics Present #26, a Jimmy Olsen #134, a New Mutants Annual #2 for a quarter...can't think of what else right now. -- dave No, the booth with the YTLM was 2 aisles to the east. The booth with the Sixth Gun's also had lots of hot moderns well over ebay prices, GPA and the moon. I remember a raw WD with a $300 tag, the back looked like a road map with all the CB creases. They had some raw YTLM 2-7 but I was afraid to ask how much. One dealer had a nice box of moderns but they were all mixed together. This box was set for display, everything was priced, but when I went to look through them the dealer also started pawing through them too. This was after he pointed the box out.

It was already graded? It sure was, I couldn't believe he only wanted $50 sticker price.

Flea market score (I think), bear with me through the narrative. On Saturday I went to a local flea market that had advertised they were running a comic show from 10-4. There were supposed to be 80 comic vendors inside, got there at about 10am and found 10 comic vendors instead of 80, but at least admission was free. Tons of beat up silver comics present, Bats 121 in horrendous condition priced at $140, lots of hot moderns priced over what you can get them for on Ebay and long box after long box of 90's drek. But I did stumble across a YTLM 9.4 with a price tag of $50 and the same vendor also had a Batman The Killing Joke 1st print NM+ for $20. The entire time I was looking through his long boxes he stressed that the books would be discounted. I finish my search (passing over at least 2 complete sets of the Dark Knight Returns that looked fantastic but I only brought $100 with me) and hand him the books for purchase. He looks over the YTLM and Batman TKJ and tells me $40 total. Sorry no pics as photobucket is being stupid. But here is a link to the YTLM http://www.ebay.com/itm/Y-The-Last-Man-1-CGC-9-4-Vaughn-Saga-/111052294653?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item19db3b89fd

Every time I check this thread I'm left with awe and envy.

Has anyone played Deadly Premonition? I saw there is a directors cut coming out and was wondering if it is worth a look.

I put one up last week.. 19.99 +shipping BIN and it sold a day later Crazy. Might have to hit the LCS a little sooner than Wednesday this week. When did this book come out? It was part of the New 52 launch I do believe. I'm kicking myself for some of the books I passed on. Yep.. came out October 2011 I believe. Funny thing is.. I walked in to a shop that had a bin filled with New 52 books. As soon as I walked over to the box, the owner said: "Anything in the box is a dollar. The New 52 was the worst thing DC has ever done. I just want to get rid of them." Ended up grabbing Nightwing, Red Hood and Suicide Squad #1s. I even got one of them free because he hated the New 52 so much that he said they were 'buy two get one free" This was less than a year ago, when Nightwing was already going for $20 on eBay. Nightwing 4 has cooled hasn't it? I remember selling my copy for $20+ last year. I sold a pair in NM to NM+ for more than $20 each in the last two weeks. I sold a Nightwing 4 that l listed as VF/-NM for $26 just last week. Funny thing is I couldn't move it on the boards at $11.

I saw the screenshots and the trailer and thought it looked and sounded like garbage. Not surprised by their review.

FF XII is epic once you get into it, the hunter's quests and Esper's can take hours off your life. I played that game for 122 hours and still didn't complete everything. It is worth revisiting if you didn't finish IMO.

AC IV Black Flag was announced today, any thoughts? I would be pleased to see more naval missions, maybe even free roaming in your warship.

I've never played Tomb Raider, not once but this relaunch has me intrigued. Does anyone know of any DLC content for Dead Space 3? Finished it last night and I'm wondering if I should trade it or is there more necromonger slaughtering fun on the way?

Thanks for the info (thumbs u

I searched this thread and couldn't find anything on Star Wars The Old Republic. Now that it is free to play I was considering picking it up. I was a big fan of the first two X-box releases and was wondering if anyone had played TOR and could LMK if it was worth getting.

Those KOTOR's will relieve you of 200 hours of your life, easy.

Anyone grab Dead Space 3? I played 2 and was kind of turned off by the direction it was taking, more of a shooter than survival horror and I wondering if anyone could share their impressions before I plop down my $59.99.

I did the exact same thing with Farcry 3 yesterday, it was 8pm when I started and I look at my phone a bit later and it's 1am.

for tree fiddy PM please if you are selling.
