Thanks for asking, but I am not looking to complete this set. I found them for $2 each at a comic show in a school cafeteria, so I bought them.

Dear God - your basic book keeping skills are heart breaking. Please explain your math on the little books section. $3,401.68 bought and $5,686.67 sold but you had $1,716.62 in loss but $568.37 in profits??? This is what really matters: Total Comics Bought $11,048.55 Total Comics sold $10,424.16 Inventory $1448 If your numbers are correct then it looks like you will be up $823.61 when you sell the rest of your inventory. This is assuming your sold number has subtracted fees and all cost to sell the books. I'm assuming the inventory number is what he paid for it...who knows what it'll actually sell for. I think most reasonable people would come to the conclusion that after 3 years and being in the red, that it might not be the best business for them. But even if he gets half he will still be up compared the loss he keeps talking about. But I do agree being up a couple hundred dollars after 3 years and $11,000 in sold books is so low I'd have not thought possible. Don't mix the big and little books and my inventory I just did that because someone asked for it. Go by the inventory list that's what you should focus on. [/quot Are you actually telling others what THEY should focus on? That's like Stevie Wonder offering to give driving lessons. Yes I am because people are adding the losses of both of my updates when that's all been calculated already and that's my inventory update Taking all that into account .. you're still in the shitter .. 3 years and you haven't made a profit. It doesn't matter that you think you're moving forward and you'll make the occasional mistake in the future .. the crux of it is: You're not making any profit. You're right I haven't made a profit yet If my math is correct, you have spent $11,000 to make $824 profit. Now, why does this sound good? I, also, sell comics to help my family and afford my comics, but it is done with a better formula. Did you see the sale I had where I spent $300 and made $1,500 in two days? (If I had more liquid money I could it more and on a larger scale). If you are going to sell comics for a profit them maybe you should change your how you do it? My formula is that I need to at least sell it for three times what I for it.

Got these yesterday.

Bought another three long boxes. That makes around 12 in last couple months. Also, bought a few thousand Magic Cards from a lot of the early sets.

I need to find me some Splatt Moon Knights.

Great finds, Hector.

This is just part of what I have.

I have a lot of the GN reprints that Cochran did. Love them.

These are two books that are still sealed in their mailers. Just love this book.

My teenage daughter is trying to break into comic books and she bought this HC set after she read up on it. Interesting enough, I never told her about this title. I'm proud of her.

Dave bought some books from me, paid quickly, and pleasant to deal with. Sub-mariner #5 $10 Sub-mariner #6 $10 Marvel Premier Moon Knight $5 Thank you very much. Jeff

Got me some digests.

Just picked these up tonight.

Prefer the hard covers. I have been picking up most of them at Half Price Books for $13 each.

Finally got this for my collection. I'll be looking to upgrade, later.

I love the Golden Age crime books.

Picked us around 5 1/2 long boxes of books at a yard sale of modern books. Nothing of great note, but still worth it.

Craigslist? yes

Sold some books to jcjames and he paid quickly. Will do business anytime,

Mike bought a bunch of silver age from me and payed very quickly. Please to deal with and would love to do it again any time. Jeff

I will be starting a sales thread in about an hour.

This was at an estate sale 126 mile north of me and there were around 2,000 books, including FF #1, Daredevil #1, FF #45 X-Men #10, 14, & 44, Silver Surfer #1, and more. It was a feeding frenzy and this is what I got out if it. Here's the kicker, they were all the same price. That sounds crazy! So they were all listed for the same price per book (like $10 each?) and it was a free-for-all with people grabbing whatever they could? Seems like an estate sale organizer would at least realize that there were items of value there. Congrats though - would like to hear more about it and hope I run into something like that someday! Waaaaay less than that.

There were around 2,000 books with around half being silver and I believe OO. Here are the advertising pictures of the sale. I will be selling these, what I bought, here.

At the right place.
