  1. I love yard sales

    This is why I can't wait to move down there. Searching for comics here stinks. People either want to much for their garbage or not enough good stuff.

     

    It isn't always that good here, most of what I find in Az is overpriced..

     

    This was the closet that I opened up at the yard sale... I only bought 2 boxes for 50 bucks, my friend got the rest for 600 and I cant wait to see what else there was. But it looks like the guy started collecting in about 1985 and just bought current issues every month.

    HOLY MOLE MAN! DID YOU GET THEM ALL?

     

    I only got 2 boxes because I had to go to work.. But I did get my buddy over there before anyone else heard about it and he got all the rest for 600.. Still waiting to see what is in them. The guy who collected them started buying current about 1985 and just got the new books every month. Nothing older than that so far.

  3. This one was at a church off of 35th (I think) ave south of 101. I get almost all of my yard/garage/rummage sales from craigslist. Sometimes I look in the paper. It takes some time to make calls and see who has comics and the ones that do usually have drek. I have been very lucky this year so far. Oh and the lcs I got this batch at was all about books and comics on central and camelback. thousands and thousands of back issues from golden age to now.

  4. The pic with the 252 and such was from a rummage sale in North Phoenix. The other pic with the Batman Family, DC comics presents and such was at the lcs today. The rummage sale priced books at 3 bucks. I paid 10 for DC comics Presents, 10 for Hulk annual, 10 for Star Wars, 15 for Batman Family #6, 5 for X-Men annual 14 and 20 more for Action 654, Captain America 155, Amazing Adventures 8 Marvel two in one annual 1,7 and Marvel team up 141...

  5. When he said 3 bucks each I couldn't get my money out of my pocket fast enough :) There were about 15 more but these really stood out. Oh, and the Man of Steel is a 5th print :)

    Where was this place?

    I can't seem to find these places in AZ that Practically give away issues.

     

    Ok, I know some of you probably don't believe me about my finds out and about lately. But These books I actually got at my lcs, in of all places the back issue boxes, all at least 8.0 or better. I spent 70 dollars today and got these plus some others that I liked. You just have to get out there and dig or you will never find a deal...

    In Pennsylvania all I find is old sheet music. Or if someone happens to have comics, they're Archies, DELLS, or Gold Keys. Where the hell are you going that you're finding these books for 3 dollars?

     

    Guys I go to yard sales,rummage sales, look through forgotten boxes under some other boxes at small shops. They are out there, just takes a lot of effort
