Yup. True for most of their catalogue. I just used to stick to the cheap specials section. Once I'd exhausted that option, too pricey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1950's war comics Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) Is a "Brave and the Bold #1" coverless for $700 a fair price? is it at even half off ,... not even sure if its worth it at half off the half off the half off somehow a coverless is still listed as Good Medium-Size CoverJumbo-Size Cover 1 COVERLESS Fair - Good700.00 Edited January 26, 2018 by 1950's war comics FoggyNelson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a result, I suspect it's something to do with Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle formula. The physicist, not the character played by Bryan Cranston.

ygogolak Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Here's a tip. You're not going to find older books at good prices. Moderns are a different story and the good thing is you can get multiples because they have the inventory. This year I purchased a modern and sold it within a week at a 40% profit. Normally I would like better returns, but the turnaround time for a hot book can't be argued with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shipping is always fast, and packaging is safely shipped where the comic books don't come damaged. Prices are another matter, but at least I know I will get the comics quick and won't have to wait a month to receive them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although shipping to the UK back in the early 90s was very slow, by surface mail, I agree that their packing was excellent.

Yep. That is what he has got going for him. Packages the comics good and you get them in a reasonable time. No month wait here in the States.
