47 longboxs for $500 5 cents a book Craigslist

[shadroch]

If you have the space and the time, it could be a very nice deal.

Of course a lot of it depends on if these books are sorted in any sort of order, have bags and boards, ect, ect.

You really need an assembly line approach to these deals, or in the end you'd be better off using the time to deliver pizzas. Without access to a large truck, you'll spend the better part of a day just moving them to a new location.

Sold to someone...

Which store are you guys talking about? I'm in the Twin Cities too.

It was Cedar Cliff Collectibles that sold them, in Eagan.

[brooksone]

I would love to find a deal like that close to home. It is fun to go through them and just remember the past. Not in it for the money just like to read stuff from my youth.

Hey, I didn't even realize that we were talking about my neck of the woods.

 

I'd love to hear what was in the lot.

 

I've pulled a fair amount of decent stuff out of their dollar boxes over the last couple of years.

I'd love to get the 47 already made long boxes. I'd pay $100 for those. $400 more for 13,500 books? Done.

Funny, yes....but I agree (thumbs u

 

[thirdgreenham]

And he bought them.

Good for him

I'm glad someone from here got it.

I wasn't crazy about the idea of having to tie a bunch of longboxes to the top of my jeep

Let us know what all ends up being in it, so I'll know how bad I should feel for not getting it myself.

 

Next time, make multiple trips. (thumbs u

[thehumantorch]

Just kidding, of course. If I lived nearby, I sure would buy them, though.

 

I think it'd be near impossible to sell them on eBay though. Good to give away for Halloween and for Free Comic Book Day.

 

I'd buy them in a heartbeat.

[oakman29]

I wouldn't buy all the drek that 47 longboxes for $500 brings.

[shadroch]

One mans drek is another mans grail.

[DR.X]

But I still think it would be fun to sort through 47 boxes at my leisure

 

Sounds good in theory until reality sets in. Been there, and done it. Once.

[vader2001]

I stop by last night after work to check them out, he told me that 2 of the long boxes where newer stuff, maybe $2 stuff. The rest was 80-90's. He said most of it would be 25 cent stuff. He paid less than the $500 that was asked, but he didn't say how much he paid for them.

[comicalgems]

I'd buy them at that price

[gcstomp]

Very easy flip at that price. At least in my area, long boxes are easy to blow out on CL at $20 each. If you have the space for 47 extra boxes, + the transport available anyway, for me it would be easy to make money on these without even opening a lid up, or spending any time working them.

After searching about 600 books I picked up at a yard sale... reading, sorting, grading, bagging, listing, selling, shipping... all to end up with about two dozen keepers and (at best) enough profit to buy another half dozen books I wanted... no thanks. I'm just not a seller. Too much time and effort for my collecting focus.
