    Post your advice for sourcing product with an example or anecdotal story about a time when this paid off for you. Example-“When engaged with someone that is selling I always mention the types of things I buy just in case they have more items that are either not advertised or are not visible and ask if they have any other items like that for sale.” I once responded to a craigslist ad that listed an incomplete GI Joe A Real American Hero tank. As a result of asking what else they had I was able to purchase a nearly complete USS Flagg. Another time-I replied to a Facebook marketplace ad where the seller had a reprint of a comic listed for $500. By asking what else they had I was able to purchase a forty long box collection. Sourcing advice-maximize every interaction by asking “what else do you have?”

    And the places where a lot of it ends up eventually.

    Dealer stock I picked up after a referral from the thread originator Shark. No major keys, but enough minors to make it a worthwhile purchase.

    Random stack of comics I gave $60 for from Facebook marketplace. These were the highlights.

    Facebook marketplace. Seller wanted $100/box and had just the pic of the boxes. It was an all or none deal. I asked if he had any keys, said he didn’t know values and had no interest in looking them up. Asked where he got them and said various comic shops all over town over the years. I agreed to buy. Drove 90 minutes. Popped lid on one box and decided it was a deal. Box was full of Batman books from 80s/90s. Got home started sorting and discovered that I had a full run of ASM from about 280-400.

    1st Harley Quinn. First :takeit: in the thread wins the book. Was really surprised that the book didn’t hit 9.8. Maybe a pressing service better than the one I used could’ve gotten the little teeny tiny crease near the spine out? Price is $1,000 OBO shipped in the US. That’s about $100 lower than the GPA high for the year. Great investment piece. PM me with questions. Payment via PayPal within 24 hours of sale is expected unless other arrangements made. Time payments available with 10% non refundable deposit, 30% due every thirty days until paid off.

    Hello everyone! Comical Gems has entered into a mentor/consignment relationship with a seller local to me. He has forty long boxes of comics that have not seen circulation for at least twenty years. Numerous runs and several books with multiple copies. Lots of newsstand editions as well. He has just started listing items on his own eBay account and I encourage you to check it out and follow as there will be some great books offered now and in the future as we sell through this collection. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F233295934906 and of course check out and follow the Comical Gems eBay store at https://www.ebay.com/str/comicalgems

    Marvel Super Heroes 18 copy B. This one I was thinking might stray into NM- territory but with those color breaking creases I’m not that confident so I’ll say 8.0 $500
  24. comicalgems
    Marvel super heroes 18 copy A. Needs a press for sure. I’d say with a press it may get a 7.0/8.0 grade. Interior is great. $400

    Silver Surfer 1. Silver Surfer 1 has Spine splits and date writing on the cover I’m thinking it lands about 3.5/4.0 $300
