Have you ever sold your COMICS for LOVE?

[Fan4Fan]

Now I'm picking the quality bronze back up...and the little woman don't see no love in that

 

That's because she thought you were going to get those out of the house for good!!

 

Sold three books. Bought Mrs. Donut a car. Mrs. Donut no longer complains about comics.

 

I'm not sure if I should be lusting after your comics or Mrs. Donut...

 

 

 

Thanks,

Never lust after someone else's Donut.

Yes, to keep my wife happy and when she needs pampering Now, if I can do what donut does, I'd be in like Flynn! (She does need a Volvo XE/90)

What was the real reason Cage sold his comics. I read a few articles and he basically said that the market was at a peak and it was a good time to sell. Sounds like a bunch of nonsense to me. Two million dollars worth of comics is chump change for him so I find it hard to believe he had to sell to make a profit. One paycheck from a new movie and he is swimming in cash again. I bet he regrets parting with those comics more than parting with the King's daugther.

Actually, the more pertinent quote of his was something to the effect he had grown weary of his material possessions owning him, as opposed to him owning them. Didn't he sell a bunch of his car collection at the same time?

This is the most likely reason I'd sell my comics. Since Zen is the closest thing I've got to a religion, materialism is something I left behind for years, but a few years ago, I decided to let it creep into my life again in exactly one area--collecting comics. If it causes too many problems, I'll have to pull the plug, but so far it's been nothing but fun!

 

I haven't sold any comics yet, but I've BOUGHT comics for love--to give to my girlfriend!

your showing your age there sterling.

 

Unless your trying some new age talk like Laura "Flynn" Boyd, and everyone knows that little or nothing goes in Ms. Flynn.

Never borrow money/credit from your girlfriend during your early days of college. I ended up marrying her anyway, but I had to sell virtually all of my low and low/mid Marvel silver to pay her back. I can't believe all the stupid junk I used to waste money I really didn't have on.

 

People under the age of 25 and anyone that does not have an established, steady personal income should NEVER be issued a credit card. Period. Credit Cards are the devil!

Wow! those three books must of been some real whoppers!!

I am in the process of selling of my collection for a house for my wife and I and our three children. 46 long boxes to start with and down to about 40 now. I sure hope that my wife appreciates this.......AND I'll have a little guilt card to pull if I have to.

The moral of the story is this, the money you earned by selling your comics will land you the girl of your dreams....who will eventually make you sell your comics anyways...so you were better off selling them first to get her...

 

if that made any sense

 

I passed on a 69 GTO convertible in cherry shape because my girlfriend threw a fit that I wasn't spending the money on a ring. Then she cheated on me

I think of that every time I see a GTO. But I really want a '67, so I guess it will work out in the future .

 

This one was good since it had to really good quotes...

First: Money will land you the girl of your dreams...I think now we all know why Steve's wife lets him hang out with Asia.

 

Second: I think that DawgPhan would have to choke a b*[!@#%^&^].

 

Also I never have sold a single comic...mainly because my comics arent worth selling....wait I take that back. I once sold a Gold Starwars set to my LCS for like $100 or something like that in store credit...anyway..I am currently on a buying stopage since me and my girl just put in a bid on a house and we are having to pay for inspections and all that jazz...so I have never sold anything, but I did not buy comics..

J/K...

 

And On Topic...

I recently sold several comics at a LCS to buy my girl Ellen a nice fat Air Conditioner for her room upstairs..

 

Now it is the coldest room in the house!.

 

Best money I ever spent.

At the risk of getting weird like Currin, here's Mrs. Donut. Mrs. Donut got a 1997 Saturn SL2. Happy dealers got some very early Golden Age.

One of the coolest stories I witnessed was a girl in her late teens who sold off her complete collection of Strangers In Paradise to buy a ring for her girlfriend. Both of them shopped in my store, and I kept the SIP run behind the counter, while over the course of two months, the girlfriend bought all the books back so she could give them back to her as a gift.

 

Stripper employees and lesbian antics in your store on a daily basis......please give me the address.

Sounds enticing sure, but have you seen what most lesbians look like today? I work with maybe five or six of them (some I see just from time to time) and believe me, these scenarios often sound better than they really are. Drop the porno movie fantasy and face the real world. Rarely do lesbians look like what you want them to look like. However, the stripper employees thing does sound good. -----Sid

No, no... in 'Houseland, they're ALL eye-searingly hot!

[PovertyRow]

I never sold comics to take out a woman. Always was able to maintain a budget that allowed both...and no, am not rich by any means.

 

But I HAVE sold comics for love of another collectible: aka movie posters. I still do that now and again, sell a movie piece to let me get a comic or vice versa.

Yes, I realize that. The term is "Lipstick Lesbians".

 

Actually, I don't want real Lesbians to be really hot. The last thing any single guy needs is more hot women being taken off the market.
