Total impulse buy

Rather common nothing give-away, but I was struck by how nice it looks being almost 70 years old.

Just can’t resist a high grade book

 

I have one that I got for $2 at a yard sale. I don't think I can get more than $10-20 for it. It's an affordable GA one-shot

OH wow, paid attention to your post! One of my parents also had rods put in years ago! She now gets around fine and is foreverly grateful! Although she's had Knee replaced since then and now needs a hip done  she still says the knee was the hardest  but you have my thoughts and prayers  

But now you got me wanting to stop at every single sale  problem is they seem to be at the very same houses  throughout the years? Is this normal?  @cabinboy @littledoom

The ratio is 80-90% miss 10-20% hits.. scoring is a numbers game. But if u go to every sale and cover all the bases within one weekend you can score. I know a guy who goes to about 4-5 garage sales a weekend. They might all be weak but out of the combined hundred plus comics they have together he might find a Marvel Spotlight 32 and it makes the drive worth it.

I would say this is not normal at all - you might get this once or twice a year if you go out to garage sales every weekend - and that's probably over estimating it.  Normally if they have comics, it's a stack of well-read 90s books that they want $50 for.

And that stack has a Batman Adventures 12 in it

Crickets last month.  Is it worth listing stuff again?

Typically I'd say yes, but no one is buying so no.. I'd wait for another month or two

I'm lucky if I make an ebay sale

, but unfortunate. I'm guessing that you haven't had it long, since you contacted them?

Yeah about two months

How cheap was the press?

Typically not cheap. I’ve had this model twice before and not experienced this issue. I purchased it new “open box”. Maybe that was my mistake. Saving $35 but in the long haul not such a great deal. In the description the seller writes they “stand behind their product and are happy to assist if you experience an issue”. That wasn’t the case when I messaged them

I like the Hidden Years, big deal back then like Spidey “Chapter One”. Neat stories if you couldn’t get your hands on the originals

Well if it's anything like restaurant equipment I'd say your thermostat is shot. 

Yea. The issue is in the control box. I just need someone to walk me through troubleshooting. Do you know where to locate the thermostat? I couldn’t identify it

Just brought home an Lcs find today, was almost shocked to see it just sitting there in the shelf unmolested, I can't bring myself to take it out of the bag & board. Stoked!

I remember buying this off the shelf based on the cover. Not too many venomized covers back then 

My press' temperature increases as time decreases. Sometimes the temperature also decreases. The temperature should be constant throughout the session. For this example a typical setting I use is 160 degrees at 5 mins (300 secs). Notice how the temps jump as the time changes. Sometimes it gets as high as 200 degrees! Has anyone experienced this issue and successfully resolved it?

GSX 1 .. anytime characters are charging it has that look

Isn't that like a full set though?

I've seen people work a long time, seemingly, to get all 1st prints. Not bad for one fail swoop.

#1 is from 1982. I believe it to be a 2nd print. I've yet to check the printings for the rest. #11 is missing. I think the original owner deiced the series was so good he doubled up after the first handful of issues. Or he wanted a "reading copy" and a collectible copy lol.

Oh man, that’s great. I never find those around here, and those look like sharp copies as well. No matter the printing, always worth picking up.

Seriously they are. I agree about the printing as well. Sometimes I just find one to a few issues but not a run. I admire the original owner's taste

Does the king size hulk have two covers? I know the direct editions have two. 

The two direct editions are double covers of each other

I have never found either of these before. Couldn't buy them fast enough.
