I suppose I should clarify a few things...

I broke up with my girlfriend of 15 years and moved back to Canada. Collecting was my way of coping with living in England, when I really hated it there. I have a big game used and rare non-game used ice hockey stick/equipment collection for the same reason.

Now that it's over and I'm back "home", these things alternately mean nothing to me and remind me of a happier time that I effed up. Even though I hated where I was, I loved who I was with, and the life I had.

Coming back has been infinitly worse and harder than I ever thought it would be. I've been here almost 4 months, and I'm almost broke. I've been putting out no fewer than 20 job applications a day and haven't had an interview yet. Hell, I haven't been contacted by anyone other than scammers. I'm out of medicine, and I haven't been able to get my ID sorted so I can apply for provincial health care. I can't afford the meds, anyway, so that point's kind of moot. I can't deal with this at the moment. All I want is them gone, and not to feel like I dumped thousands of dollars into something worthless. Rationally, I know that's true. I don't want to face it.

The books and artwork aren't kid friendly for the most part. I'll probably donate the safe for kids stuff to the children's hospital later in the month.

Thanks for the help so far, it's making things a bit more clear.

Hi all. I'm looking to get out of comics totally, but the majority of books I have no one wants to buy. I've tried kijiji, craigslist and all the local comic shops, and I've gotten offers from if you leave them we'll throw them in the trash for you, to it'd cost me more in gas than they're worth to look at them so if I come out you'll have to sell all 200 to me for $10. I've got graphic novels, single odd issues (no runs of any title, mostly things I picked up with other things that I wanted at the time), sketch covers and signature books and some commissioned original art. Most of the things are far too heavy to mail, based on the meager "value" they might have.

I don't want these things anymore. They remind me of a happier time in my life, one I am no longer a part of. I can't bring myself to throw them away, even though that's most likely what I'll end up doing. My ex helped me buy them, showing an interest in it, to make me not feel like I was wasting my money. It's kind of a long story... I'd really appreciate any suggestions anyone can offer.

Thanks,
James

Just out of curiosity Marwood and I, where do you stand on Thorpe and Porter pence price stamped copies? Do you see them as pence variants or as defaced regular copies? I personally didn't count them when I did ppv but I like hearing other opinions!

The Walking Dead Compendium Vol 1 & Vol 2

Collects issues #1-96

 

 

If international shipping is an option, I'd love these! I wouldn't mind throwing in some $$$ for shipping. I've been looking to pick up some Walking Dead stuff but it's all really expensive.

 

If I can take them I'll post my offer tomorrow.

 

Thanks,

James

 

 

I looked on the USPS website and shipping those 2 books will cost $77. I'll cover the first $12 since that's what it would cost to ship in the US if you want to pay $65 for shipping. I'd think you could buy them locally there for about that price but it's up to you.

Still cheaper than buying them here! The best deal I've seen in the UK would be £60 for both, so I'll I'll have my offer up ASAP.

Thanks!

I had a plan that could end hunger, cause world peace and allow all religions to live in harmony...but instead I sold comics to edowens71. That was pretty cool, too.

Thanks!

James

Thanks! Very pleased!

I live in the UK, and I'm Canadian. It's kind of how my girlfriend (British) says "Canada"...sort of...

The avatar I use is the logo of Lokomotiv Yaroslavl ice hockey team, who were killed in an airplane crash in 2011. I support the Calgary Flames and the coach of Lokomotiv was Brad McCrimmon, who was on our 1989 Stanley Cup winning team.

Sold this user some books, and it went smooth as a smooth thing with no bumps or ridges on it!

James

Bought a few books and was very happy! Shipped fast, well-packaged.

James

If everyone knows I want XXX, they'll compete with me or raises price because it's a want of mine.

Just do what I do: Collect things everyone else thinks are .

James

Got these when I was visiting the girlfriend's mom in Wiltshire...

...all for the princely sum of £12 (about $20). Not too shabby I have to say! A good start to my Batman/Tec collections and some odds-n-ends to boot. Grendel #1 is a 2nd print, but that's cool.
