I posted this a few years ago, but this is the comic cabinet i built. Holds 25 long boxes or 50 short boxes. Made of solid 1" birch sides, 5/4" cleats and 3/4" reinforced shelves. The paneled doors lock and are keyed so you can lock it up. I am moving and will be selling this in August once i transfer my comics to my new home. The cabinet is all screwed together and is easy to assemble and disassemble and can fit in a van or pickup truck (I carried and put the whole thing together by myself). I am asking FREE, and i live right by Metlife Stadium in NJ, just outside of NYC. Message me if interested.

So i've changed my mind about this (too much other stuff going on with my house sale) and i am giving this away now(comics not included..lol). It fully dissasembles, its all screwed together, you just need 2 guys and a pickup truck. Probably available the 2nd week of august after i move the comic boxes out. Message me if interested

I'd list it on NYC CraigsList and offer free delivery. That might get some interest. Then get the heck out of there.

A large piece of furniture in a dense urban area is a tough sell, IMO.  Tempt them with free delivery.

My kid went to school in Jersey and I used to fly into Newark and take the train.  Jesus. When I'm in your area I can feel the density with my eyes closed.  It is oppressive.

In the urban parts of NJ I can't even find an AirBnB where I can park a car off the street.  Because every square foot around there is full. The house is on a tiny patch with no garage.  It is oppressive and weird.  Hopefully you are moving away from the sardine can. 

You've been going to the wrong parts of Jersey. Don't judge it by wherever your talking about because i wouldnt want to live there either.

No one is interested in this? I posted it years ago and everyone loved it. Where else should i post this, it is really great cabinet to store comic boxes. I built it myself.

They are walking around all the stages we are at in NY shutting down shows, mine is done filming so mine wont get shut down

I work in TV and movies so this kinda sucks. Just pay them what they want.

Awesome, even closer to my house

Is that New England Comics? They used to have ads all over the comics in the 80's, i think i ordered a bunch from them over 30 years ago

Too bad you can't get CGC to go to one of these shows, it would be great to hand in some of my books to get graded locally.

On Friday is was a 3-4 hour wait to drop off books

I went there specifically to get books graded ( i had like 20 to submit) and they told me the wait was over 3 hours. 3 HOURS! Needless to say i walked away

Will CGC be there? I want to get some books graded

Deadpool 3 is supposed to start prepping in September in Jersey City FYI

We buy around 70% of the collections we look at. The remainder is about evenly split in five groups:

Absolutely worthless drek.

Books where the prospective seller has looked up eBay results for 9.8 signature series of every issue and expects 100% of that value for their unsigned raw 8.0s.

Collections where we know of another venue that will pay more than we will and we send them there. (This is usually on really common stuff where I might be 15 copies deep already and there’s a local alternative likely to pay 20c a book).

Collections of slabbed issues in combinations of grade and signature status that just wouldn’t work for our store. “Here’s a 9.8 signature series variant cover from 2006 of a title no one collects and the last eBay sale was 10 months ago at $100, would you give me $50?” “I also have a slabbed 5.5 New Mutants 86 and a 2.5 ASM 131!” *

Collections where the seller really doesn’t want to sell but wants to know if they have valuable stuff. We charge for written insurance appraisals. But casual “the ones in this pile are all around $50-100 and the rest are like five bucks each” we do that for free.

- - -

We sell more than anyone in the area and also pay more than anyone in the area. So if books are good, a deal usually gets made.
 

* this group isn’t really 6%. It’s probably more like 2%. But boy are they challenging to deal with.

where are you located?

I worked on the first one

I would rank Daredevil and Punisher as not only 2 of the best marvel shows i have ever seen, they were 2 of the best shows ive ever seen. Ever.

When i worked on Royal Pains Ezra Miller was on a few episodes and everyone said he was a to work with (even as a kid) and they didnt want him on the show anymore because he was a pain in the to deal with.

I just started using it myself, i have about 10,000 books im starting to catalog for selling at some point, but do buyers go by these lists? By the time im done its gonna be 500 pages.

I still remember going to the local corner store in Beachwood NJ, Clancys. Pharmacy on one side and newsstand on the other (then Disbrow's Butchers). When I was very young I remember the comics were not in spinners but on the wall with the magazines, one book per slot. I wasn't tall enough to get to some books and I remember getting a book out and wait, whats that...another older comic stuffed down into the slot! I checked deep down in the pockets after that. Soon enough they went to the spinner not too far from the soda (my target in any store back then), then the newsstand closed and the pharmacy expanded and the rack went over by the cards. That would have been from 1969 or so to 1985. Clancy's is still there but much smaller, a shell of its' glory.

 

I grew up in Toms River, never went to Clancy's but Garden State News was great for comics and later Steve's Comic Relief, which is still in TR but moved around a bunch.

Is there anywhere that has actually spoilers for the few of us that want to see them since im not making it to the theater anytime soon

They need to open up a NY/NJ branch so i can just drop off my books there...lol

What is the going price for a 5.0 these days?

6.0 = $46,000

7.0 = $50,000

7.5 = $75,000

8.0 = $147,000 (13 months ago one sold for $23,500)

 

7.5 sold for 75k? I bought a 7.5 from these very boards 5 years ago for $7500! Nice!

How much of a price difference is a 5.0 vs a 6.0? I would love to upgrade my 5.0.
