Robot Man

Anybody hit Geoffrey's Comics? They used to have a pretty good selection of GA and SA stuff. He passed away a while ago. I heard his family was keeping it open. Haven't been there in years. 

Congrats Ed, that is anusual goal to complete for sure!  One thing that grabbed me was the wonderful crossection of cool titles in it.

I agree...but the original question was should the sales tax be reported to GPA as part the sale price to figure value.

As a retailer I wish I could have a dollar for every time someone asked me knock off the tax. I  don't get to keep the tax. I am responsible for paying it. I would get fined if I were caught sidetracking it. I know it affects my sales. It affects any sale in any line of business. But since we are dealing in comics, "and nobody takes those seriously", I am expected to just not charge the tax or I don't get the business. And if I say that I can't just knock the tax off (effectively discounting an additional 8.25%) people get all indignant. Walk into the local grocery store and try that shiznit.

Not disputing the tax. Part of life. It’s all the other costs involved as well as paying through the nose for “privilege” of buying funny books under the possibility of shifty conditions.

I’m not ashamed to admit I’m just not their target demographic any more...

Great PCH prices here folks...

Must be “Mile High” money...

So I was surprised this morning to see this post come through on a Facebook group. A long time collector had some extra time and decided to sort his books on his kitchen table this weekend. That's some sorting!

It just goes to show that there are still plenty of raw gems out there destined to come for sale someday!!

 

 

Jeeze! What a haul!  Yep, a lot of raw GA still in collector's hands out there.

That photo reminded me of this old one...

I get the tax issue. Also as a CA resident, our taxes are already high. But you combine it with a healthy buyer's premium, high shipping and stiff competition from other bidders, it just knocks me out. I also don't like the Texas law where auctions houses can shill bid their auctions or buy items outright. Kinda shifty... I just don't deal with them anymore. too rich for my blood...

I think this is a horror comic?

Sure is weird no matter what!

Found this one laying around, forgot it was Canadian.  Same contents as AIT #3 US

Hey Redbeard...

Was there a quantity of these found?  Seems, I've seen a lot of high grade copies floating around...

From the "Mile Low" collection... 

Couple of my favorites as a kid...

I think he is just playing hard to get 

I know it’s hard to believe but there is life outside of these boards. 

We do miss your posts buddy. Hope you have a great holiday season!

Never know where to file these. Crime?  Horror? or misc GA? Right now they go in the crime boxes...

How ‘bout a couple of cool GGA Bondage Ace horror books?

I believe this is a 1950’s Forbidden Worlds 

A couple of fun Atlas books I just rediscovered...

What a great feeling. Congrats. I doubt I will ever be in that club but it won’t stop me from trying!

I doubt I will be bidding on any of them. They are all  outstanding but I imagine that they will each go for an outstanding price and none are must have for me. 

I remember looking through that run forty years ago at Burrel Rowe's house. He had them in binders. I could pull any individual one of the comics out and thumb through them. They were all so beautiful. The next time I saw them was in 1982 as Burrel was selling them to Geppi. $4000 for the whole run. I doubt any single one of them will go for $4000 or less now.

Not a bad deal... Burrell sold them for double what he paid Chuckie and had a bunch of Fawcetts and ECs left over!

Geppi probably doubled his money too.

This pin is slightly different but I guess it is real since it was on ebay...

Wow, thanks for that. Looks cool. The actual pin was often a bit different from the original premium offer. This one looks real. I mean who would repro something like this? Sure wish I'd seen it on the bay...
