slow summer for garage sales - but at least found these at two for $1 price on Friday.

What does a lone shoe on a highway mean?

Found this at a garage sale for $1 today.

Nice! Seems like a fair deal for both of you. Maybe he'll let you take a look at the future books he's selling before he lists them on craigslist?

what's the story for finding this book? That would be odd to run into at the random garage sale...

luck of the draw - takes a lot of misses until you finally get a hit!

Went to a garage sale at the 9am opening time they advertised. Only the wife was there, wasn't sure where her husband's five boxes of comics were - but he'd be there at 1pm if i wanted to come back. I considered not coming back - but it was only 20 minutes away and she was having a beer at 9am - so i figured it could be interesting. Got back to find it was only three short boxes of books for $1 each. I was so excited when I saw the Nyx run, I forgot to flip back for the Deadpool/Cable #1. Overall - was well worth the return trip!

I use comicspriceguide.com as a starting point for quick search of books by issue or title. Gives a good reference that is easily searchable from your phone once you set up the free account. If i'm looking to buy or sell something specific then i would use ebay or other sites referenced to get a better feel for current market.

hopefully you'll share more of the story, but that picture is great!

update on the shipment? sucks to be waiting for something right before a show...

I found this at an estate sale a month or so ago. Not in the greatest shape, but glad to be in the club!

Estate sale with original art - Wantagh/Long Island NY Sharing this for anyone in the area - looks like some great original art available at this sale. Wonder what the story behind the sale is - bio mentions 50 year collection that is being sold. Seems like an online house would return more to the original owner. Might be opportunity for someone from the board to pick up some great stuff! i did a search on board for the location listed (Wantagh) and didn't see anything, so hopefully this isn't already part of another thread. https://www.estatesales.net/NY/Wantagh/11793/1469607?highlight=Comic+comic

Finale was fun - could have been a lot worse, but about what we've come to expect from this show at this point. Here's some of my observations, assuming i used the spoiler function correctly...

Had good luck at an estate sale this week. Found about a dozen Walking Dead books that I need, including 1st Ezekiel. A bunch of Y the Last Man, which i don't ever seem to find. Was happy to get X-men 21 (although in low grade condition) for only $15, and averaged less than $2 a book on everything else. This sale advertised having over 25,000 books including ASM 129 and other key books. The sale started at 4pm on Thursday. I got there at 1pm and was the 31st name on the list to enter the sale. The first names were there at 10pm the night before! Some books were over priced, while others seemed to slip through with low prices. I didn't hear what the big books went for, but since none of them survived until I got in - the price must have been right for someone.

make that 57 pts

thanks @ADAMANTIUM - i'm sure i'll get smoked by 40 points this round

i had replied to the message thread from seeding round without a response, and tried to check back in yesterday but figured you were swamped with submissions. Was busy since midday yesterday and just checked back in this morning to see i have a zero score - would have advanced with 60+ if i did the math right

thanks for this - adding Doom Patrol 70 to my list of books to keep an eye out for.

Great choice - i was surprised it took until the 6th page to find Xmen 251. This has always been one of my favorite covers - maybe all those Catholic masses i sat through as a kid with nothing to look at but the big crucifix had something to do with it.

Awesome! what type of uninformed seller did you find this with?

I'm liking this show so far. Not as good as The Office or some other workplace settings sitcoms, but add in the proximity to superhero stuff, and that's enough for me. My wife enjoys it too - so that's a plus. The intro with the comic book covers is worth a look for anyone who's a comic fan.

I didn't want to open the bag at the sale to check - so I still need to do that when i get home. Hopefully there are no pages missing. The cover seemed to be attached with no splits on the spine from what I could see.

The one that stood out to me was an Adventure Comics 425` for $80 - not sure where they got that price from. All of the Iron Man issues they had between 50-100 were $25 or more, despite being mid-grade condition at best. Most of the pricing seemed to be based on mint prices from an old Overstreet guide, but didn't take into consideration the condition of the book. Lots of early 90s Image / Lady Death type stuff at over $20 a book as well. Gotta love flipping through a bunch of Brigade and Prophet books!

Lucked out to find these at an estate sale today. Most of the books were well overpriced, but got these four for $40 total. I wasn't going to push the price any more, figured that was enough negotiation. They had a run of early Iron Man that skipped from 54 to 60 - was really hoping to for 55 to show up somewhere, but I'm not complaining.

Car part swap meet? How did you bring home comics from that? Those look nice!
