STORY?!?! :sumo: :golfclap:

This was from a Local seller who was selling his collection.  Had lots of modern stuff but I noticed this and picked it up.  Unfortunately, there was some CT but the book is still really nice around a 6.5 so I am keeping it raw.  

:download: well done!! :tink:

I did something similar once and never again. Went through box upon box of books, separating out the good stuff and explaining that these books are the bulk of their value. Seller did not want to part with them after hearing the values of those. Never give someone free information. 

Yeah whenever I go through a collection that's not priced I always squeeze the key I want between four  drek books.  After i close the deal...I buy the key

Saw some guy walking away with this from the Train Station Parking Lot Flea Market.  (I go once or twice a year)
 

Not on the job? Want to be?  Now you too can pretend you are a LEO.

Nice!

:roflmao:

 

I was there about three weeks ago and there was a comic seller set up that I hadn't seen before. He had a couple dozen long boxes of $1 books and then two longs with his "better books" and a couple of slabs. I figured I would give his better books a look through and picked out a MCP Weapon X issue for $4 and a Zatanna Special for $5. I get home and the MCP has a horizontal roller indentation across the entire front cover and the Zatanna has a large dirty smudge on the back cover. :(

Just put these books in the dollar boxes where they belong instead of trying to hustle every last buck out of your inventory! I'll take it on the chin since I didn't take them out of the bag and check them closely, and that's on me for not taking the time to do so. But come on! I'll steer clear of him in the future. He fits right in at the Bellmore Flea!

And people wonder why I stick to hunting for comics in the wild - this guy is exhibit A and not uncommon in my experience.

I walked away from him too.  It was impressive that he brought those things like silver spiderman… but the price ?

How’s this for a surprise grab bag? I don’t know what’s in them, beyond the ones on top. Local thrift store was unloading them by the bundle, 12 comics in each ridiculously over-wrapped, taped pack. The little old ladies working there wouldn’t let me open them first, but best as I can tell, they appear to be mostly early ‘60s Action and Adventure Comics. They wanted $50/pack, I offered $120 for all three and they took it. I figure avg of $3.33 per 1960-vintage AC issue works for me — unless I get these open and find missing covers, incompletes or other teeth-gnashing surpises!
