That's one of those great finds you dream about. I've got to make it out to my local flea market one of these weekends.

Yep still have the Elementals 1-3 also Justice Machine both the Comico and Noble versions and a beautiful copy of Cobalt Blue (try finding a copy of that these days

[Alawson453]

Yes Surfer99 you should try it for at least a couple of weekends. There are times that I may make 20 trips and find nothing, but it's the times that I get lucky and find something that make up for the misses. Just don't give up if you don't find anything right away

The only "Flip" I have ever done was with the New 52 and everything that followed with that flash of buying and selling. I happened to live next to a Hastings in TX which didn't see much in the way of purchases towards the New 52. They were purchased here and there but always had rows left over. I happened to go onto eBay one day and saw an entire run go for a large amount. So I picked up three runs and sold all three for an average of $400. I'm not sure what the profit margin was but it did cover enough for a few slabs later on.

The only "flip" I ever made was for a Marvel Super-Heroes #12 CGC 9.6 picked up on Pedigree for $275 and sold in their very next auction for 3 times that much.
