Hey Kids, Comics!

I saw this listing last night and I had to stop and look at the bid price a couple times. What is so special about this book that it commands $50+?

 

http://www.ebay.com/itm/BATMAN-HARLEY-QUINN-1-1ST-PRINT-ALEX-ROSS-JOKER-/300738083816?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item460562fbe8

 

In competition with Batman Adventures #12 as 1st appearance of Harley Quinn in DC continuity. Apparently Batman Adventures #12 doesn't count because it's based of the cartoon.

 

i believe there is a 2d print of this as well, so folks need to be careful.

If there's a second print, I've never seen it. There are 3 prints of the Batman Adventures Mad Love book but I don't think so on the Ross book.

I was able to find one copy of Nightwing 4 at one of my 2 LCS for $3.50, however it had the same two color breaking spine taps. Thankfully, most people on ebay dont mind if disclosed properly!

I would buy them at cover and not think twice about it if they are in any form of decent saleable condition.

 

Not 40 copies, but you know what I'm saying...

I bought five.

Any books showing heat have been picked clean around here.

 

 

My only consolation.......

 

 

 

i'm still pulling these "icecubes" for cover price.

 

 

 

I posted it earlier but I his a LCS in Charleston last week and it had AT LEAST 40 copies of #2 first prints on the shelf......maybe more.

From this morning :

No brainer!

I also found this awesome Superman Club Kit from 1980 this morning. Complete with original envelope, iron-on, membership card, sticker, book cover, Daily Planet, KILLER poster and more. It set me back a whopping $5!

On vacation so of course I hit the LCS. They must have had 50 copies of ToT #2 first prints on the shelf. Nothing else much though besides 5 copies of the SDCC Darkwing Duck 14 blank for $3.99 each and a Batgirl Adventures for $5. I didn't dig through their dollar boxes. Maybe tomorrow.

I hadn't hit this thread in a few days and seeing 86 replies since my last visit, thought something must be on fire in the modern market. How naive of me.

Not sure on the Vengance of Banes, guess its a hit and miss have one "Raw" listed on here and ebay but they never would move.

Ditto. I had a raw 9.4/9.6 that didn't move for $50.

Yesterday I picked up a box of vintage GI Joe epherma. 40 file cards, some sticker sheets and 6 blueprints (including the USS Flagg) for $15. Also got a cool Frank Miller : A Work in Progress book from 1986 for $1. Today was a box of 55 80s GI Joe issues starting at 3 and including the 21 for $10.

TAFKADixie = Sam-TK

bible belt rules! 40 copies at mine too here in SC.

My LCS had at least 40 copies of Earth 2 #2 and one sketch cover at $10. Also had 6-8 copies of Star Trek/ Dr Who. I bought two empty long boxes and a Spidey 129 for $100 instead.

 

It's in the grading forum if you wanna peek.

Ummm, wow, check out this auction so far. I think this is pretty high for these discount bin books. Loved reading these as a kid.

I think it's a tough set to complete, and usually fetches a strong price when a complete set surfaces. Or I could be mistaken...

 

It is a tough set, but that price for only 24 issues is hilarious. 39-41 were very tough to find. 42 was alot easier I see them all the time.

 

That bidder is just ignorant. Issues 1-20 are on there with a $25 BIN, 1-42 For $125, And 1-23 28-31 Plus other misc Warlock stuff for $35. Just stupid.

Yep.....Hardcore is officially dead. I cant even sell mine for $5 in my sales thread!!

Soooooooo.................Daredevil 8 is a hot book right now bringing $15-20 on ebay, huh?

23 more reasons I LOVE this thread!

Agreed on the availability of Hardcore 1. Neither of my LCS had it and I drove 30 miles North and one of the two shops in town had 6 copies (I bought 5). The next day I drove 30 miles South and none there either.

PS I didn't drive there just for Hardcores. It was my monthly out of town jaunt.

GI Joe 155 for 50 cents is an excellent deal. That seller should have done his research. Wonder what else he has.

Nothing. He has a permanent spot inside. I generally skip his place because it's always the same stuff. I dug through every box and picked anything good.

it seems i get stuck with that all the time

 

 

i think you can block zero feedback bidders (or maybe you used to be able to?)

You can't. The highest feedback you can block is -1. You can also block bidders who have 2 or more unpaid item strikes in the last month but that's it. No more zero blockage. You can, however, cancel their bids and add them to your blocked bidder list (which is what I generally do if they look untrustworthy).

I found these two beauts today at a local flea market. The Thanos Quest cost me $2 and the last issue of GI Joe was a whopping 50 cents. Best part was that I totally missed the 50 cent boxes and the guy told me " I got some 50 cent boxes under the table over there but most of it is no count." I don't know if that is a southern-only expression but it means nothing is any good in there. I also pulled a GI Joe 144, 145, and 150 out plus a Moby Duck 19, and Infinity Gauntlet 5. I called my buddy who is a Joe collector and he immediately offered me $45 for the 155 and I took it. I know they're generally more on ebay but he's a friend! I even told him what I paid

I drove 30 minutes to a nearby town with 2 comic shops as my 2 locals are completely wiped out (and not by me). Shop 1 puts all recent issues in $1 boxes after 3 months or so. I pulled 6 copies of WD 93, WD 94, 2 Hell Yeah 1, and a Fatale 2 out. Shop 2 yielded nada except 5 copies of Hardcore. Tomorrow is 30 minutes in the other direction!

Picked up Infinity Gauntlet set today for $10 and Thanos Quest for $5 at my local flea where a guy has a permanent "comic shop". Also bought Gauntlet 1x4 and 3x3 out of .50 box for the hell of it.

Put together this box of mostly Transformers today at a garage sale. Some have missing or broken pieces but for a quarter each I wasn't inspecting anything too close. I was basically just grabbing from miscellaneous boxes and making a full one for stuff I wanted. I am way too old and way to uneducated to even begin how to transform them or try to pretend I know who 99% of them are. Thankfully, there are ID sites for pretty much all toy lines now so it may be time consuming, but I'll find out all their names.

Popeye's popularity isn't really that high these days. It may be hard to find, but that's at least partially a result of a general lack of interest/enthusiasm for the character.

All 3 of my LCS have Popeye 1 on the shelf including the Action 1 swipe.

This one came from the flea market for $50. She didnt want to sell it but luckily, some guy came by between my laps and bought all the drek she had in it.

This one came from Craigslist for $80.
