Warcrawl Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 This last Wednesday at the comic book store there was a guy trying to sell his comics. The owner said she was over stocked or something at the moment and suggested craigslist and avoid selling to halfpriced books. At that point I'm standing there and say, "Watcha got?" He said he has 5 long boxes he's just looking to sell each comic for $1. So I stopped by and picked through his 5 long boxes. $100 later I have 100 comics including the first 46 issues of Saga. The first issue being the hard to find 4th printing. All in amazing condition. Also got a ton of the old Judge Dredd stuff where Jock did the art because I'm a sucker for Jock. Early Deadpool stuff, but I can't get over that Saga score. ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadroch Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 (edited) Nice. Always good to be at the right time and place. However, when buying 100 books, always demand a discount. What could the man have done? Edited September 16, 2017 by shadroch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FineCollector Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 If the guy was willing to let you pick when he wanted to get rid of everything, I wouldn't have asked for a deal. Sounds like you did fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe someday. I was just showing off some 1930s tin toys I found at a garage sale. My friend was admiring them ,saying how he never finds anything. I asked him how many garage sales he'd been to and he said, one, maybe two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadroch Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I like the early Dredd art from 2000AD. It was a strange mix of Peanuts meets Star Wars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
