  1. Here are some of the Legos I got. The Batman one is still sealed.
  2. I live in WA state and I've had to use a practical ice pick to get my car doors open and it didn't even show. My health calls for warmer weather and I use to live in Avondale. I can also reach Los Angeles easier from there than from here.
  3. the city of LA has a flea market? That must be an epic event As a matter of fact we have large ones EVERY weekend here. All year round even in the winter when you people are shoveling snow! This is why I am trying to move back to Arizona.
  4. Almost forgot. I, also, picked this rack up for $5, brand new. Sorry for the flash.
  5. Would have taken more pictures and posted earlier, but I am working my with through around 3,000 comics I have picked up. Did pretty well yesterday in picking up a lot of Legos, boxed Barbies, a few comics with some Whitmas, Some old Jazz and Soul records, and a few other things.
  6. Yeah, I like it a lot. I am a huge fan of Space:1999 and got this mainly for that. It has these pictures in it.
  7. This happens a lot. I believe it happened with a Nyx #3 and a Batman #1 of mine.
  8. I'm working on a run, myself. I probably have half of it put together.
  9. Well, I finally got the Bats #1's from the Walmart 3 packs. Wahoo..
  10. Had a pretty good day. Got all of the Dark Horse Tarzan HC's for $10 each and 3 long boxes of comics for around $100 total. I can't wait to search two of them, that I got from a gentleman that I got Nyx #3, and 4 in a 3/$1.00 deal. Got a bunch of other stuff too.
  11. The dollar store is opening again. I have just picked up 6 long boxes of books and there is some great stuff in there. There are also have some signed books in there that I will also list for one dollar. I will run this in a couple days.
  12. Just got these in the mail today. Early appearances of Patsy Walker.
  13. I am trying to get this whole run together and still need to get a #1. Hopefully I find one in the wild. Great job.
  14. Some of the worst sellers are the ones that don't contact you with information, after you pay, and you have to repeatedly send them messages asking if they have shipped, for tracking number, and when they shipped. It just isn't worth anybody's time if they have to keep chasing down the sellers for information on their purchases.
  15. Great room. Do you have this Heroclix Dormamu?
  16. I agree. I should have been more clear. I wasn't trying to get his hopes up. I was showing more toned down venues to learn to deal with people and network rather than trying to trade to unknowns. My point in finding high price books is that it is possible to find these in the wild if you look rather than chasing the ones that are already high priced. I don't chase those books. I sell like I do and just happen upon these because of the work I put into it. Work on one and be ready for the other. If Gabe is still mindful to deal in comics then I would like to try to give better choices.

  18. Gabe, my last job was a sales rep for soccer equipment and sold to soccer clubs all over the states. I had to do a lot of research to find these clubs and their contact information to offer our products. I have turned this ability towards looking for information on products and how/where to find them. I do quite well. There are small shows that are in my area from Portland, OR to north of Seattle that I attend for both sales and purchases. Just to reiterate, I have found at these kinds of shows, for $1 or less, NM 87 & 98, Nyx 3 & 4, and much more. I have also set up at these shows to sell. Tables only cost me $25-35, but I make $300-500 in sales, and pick up a lot of great books. This last Saturday I set up in a mall that was running a sports card collectible show. I sold almost $350 in merchandise, bought some things, and made so more contacts. I pass out by card and talk to people for networking. At one of these show a man walks in with two tubs of books to sell them for under $1.00 each and he had ASM 121, 122, 129, Hulk 181, and more. I have people all over my area who know me from years of being in the circuit of collectibles. I agree that we can't go head on with most of the dealers on this board, or the like, so I look elsewhere and it works. Last summer I went to a 304 community sale in Seattle where one house advertised comics. They were 3/$1.00 and I walked out of there with a lot of great books, The best one was ASM 300 in NM/M condition. I must have bought around 100 books from him and none of them valued at less than $10. I found this, while researching for you. West Toronto Card & Collector Show 1677 Wilson Ave in Toronto, Ontario www.westtorontocardshow.com/ www.facebook.com/pages/The-West-Toronto-Card-Collector- Show/674859219203750 Looks like this is a once a month that features all kinds of collectibles. This is a great start to networking. Once you become a regular you should be able to get in on some inside tracks to where people may get their books and make some great contacts as you converse with other dealers and customers. I belong to a great network here and greatly cherish it. At the shows that I set up at there usually is a table where fliers are that advertise other shows.
