Went to 2 "comic book garage sales" today and picked ALL of these up for under $40

 

Spent a **bit** more but got a great deal on these, too

 

Anyone in Ohio? If so, my friend i bought a lot of this from will have a booth at NEO con in Strongsville, OH 8/14 with a huge selection.

[Gatchaman]

Not what I normally buy, but the price was right.

 

 

These comics could be blank pages, inside, and nobody would every know.

There were about 6 copies in the box. All of them were un bagged so I took the two best looking copies. I hadn't realized until I got home

 

You have three double cover copies so far. I think you have a lucky charm.

Great Haul my friend!!! Especially happy you got that Batman:HQ nn if I am not mistaken that is Harley 1st app in DCU continuity

I`ll be in Strongsville on Sunday. I talked to the promoters, more dealers and more aisle space. Last year was nice, but really confined. I`ll look for your booth and stop by.

[kilowatt]

What comic shop?? Dealer??

I do the same thing but zero so far. I asked myself how did you do that?

Local estate sale, about 125 science-fiction books from mid-1950s through '70s (mostly), 20 bucks. What the hey.

[Chip Cataldo]

Now THAT is awesome. I see some Asimov in there. He's my favorite author.

You have got to be able to make your money back on the early stuff, particularly if they have neat covers. 70s sci fi might be a tougher sell.

I figure it was a decent gamble, and if I can't make my money back, oh well....I lose $5 or something. Plus there are decent copies of Heinlein's "Stranger in a Strange Land" and William Gibson's "Neuromancer," which I was planning on reacquiring and rereading. Lots of other potentially good reading with the other books too, of course. It's fun going through them and reading the story highlights on the back covers.

[the blob]

some of the old sci fi doesn't really hold up nowadays though...

[jsilverjanet]

I went to an estate sale for comics (they had sold most of them by the time I got there)

 

I came home with this

 

 

 

lots of loose parts

 

 

 

and this blu-ray box set for $3

 

[FineCollector]

lots of loose parts

 

 

I recognize the black key on the bottom as a Voltron piece, but you didn't get any Voltron figs... have fun with that!

[MustEatBrains]

Love that Hellraiser box! Love those movies.

Ah man, I LOVE old SF paperbacks!

Found a local moving sale that advertised comics. I didn't make it there for the first day, but got there when they opened on day two. A large plastic bins with unbagged comics and crumpled newspaper to pack them didn't look too promising. More than half of them were Archie / Richie Rich from the 70's in poor shape and some Batman/Superman missing covers. Last section of the box had all of these - in surprisingly good shape. Paid $2 each for the Superboys and 25 cents for the others - including the Phantom Stranger that's a 7.0/8.0! A couple of books in French - including the Superman & Batman one - but these were all in above average shape.

 

Someone else went through the books and bought $200 worth from them the day before - wonder what I missed out on? They had some random books priced over $20 (early bronze Batman in poor condition, Daredevil #53) - so their pricing was a bit strange.
