I saw an ad online posted a few days ago far away from me and I took a gamble and it was well worth the risk. There were no photos or description- just that there a were a couple thousand highly disorganized inherited comics. So it was a flyer. When I arrived there was about 15-20 shortboxes stacked in front of the garage and the seller left me to dig through the boxes in the driveway. The comics were $1 each or fill a shortbox for $100 so I did the latter. Luckily I was the first person to go through the boxes. The collection had a lot of indie titles so the rare ones are much appreciated. Here’s highlights of what I picked up

I love the Girls' Romances #151 just hidden in there like it doesn't really belong.

Curious if anyone knows whether another reprint book regardless of title has ever sold for more than the X Men 76?

Marvel Tales 1 has a sale of $9560 for the 9.6 Curator Copy. I’m not sure it fits because there were several origins retold. It could be considered.

On this board, a few years ago, I was offering  X-Men 146s for $2 each and described them as being VF or better.  A dealer who used to frequent here pm'd me that he'd take 25, but they all had to be NM or better.  I wrote back saying the books were VF or better, but he wanted strict NMs I'd go through the bunch and pull the NMs for $5 each. He blew a gasket and called me some choice words. 

Yeah. That was pretty lame of him to do that.

I've had a few buyers request a discount based on the scans so is that ok?  I thought the price was suppose to be locked in place while the book was under review?

I'd say this is normal back and forth. They are asking for a discount, and you can reply with a yes or no. Al of the needed information is known by each party. This guy raised the price without even mentioning it to me. 

Again, this book and the others I asked about are not hot books. I wasn't trying to catch him not updating a price. I just wanted a scan to make sure it was, in fact, an upgrade to the copy I already had.

Ask for scans of another book and see. 

I’m actually going to go back through the email chain. There were other prices in there, I’m just not sure there are before and afters.

Feel free to make offers on any of the remaining raw books. The slabs I’ll probably be firm on.
