blowout Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 A belated thanks to oldnewcomicguy for the first issues of Miracleman. It is a great series. Now I just have to track down the rest... If when you have read them you decide to pass them on, I am also looking for a set. In fact anyone out there who is looking to offload the run (don't have to be NM) shoot me a PM.

chrisco37 Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 What I'm shocked at is how much my Gaiman set is already getting on ebay. Selling 17-24 (nice grades) and already near $250?? I wasn't expecting half that. Has the series been hot lately or something? Is that raw? yep, ended at 260, all books raw. Dickameoba bid on my set as well so that bodes well for you Ewan. Buyer hasn't paid yet though, which is a little worrying although it hasn't been too too long yet. Damn. I sure wish I had the trades. I'd sell my set.

kidcolt Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 (edited) Most of the comics coming out today are [embarrasing lack of self control]. Fans are starting to notice that they can buy awesome silner and bronze age back issues for the same price as the new [embarrasing lack of self control]. I agree the Bronze and silverage stuff have been heating up + alot of the new comics are giving new life to older characters. Look at DC identity crisis, they are using characters that haven't been used in 20 years. Most kids never even heard of them, at my comic store I was like an old fart (I'm 32) because I knew about all the old characters....haha I was a hero for a day. All the older comics that are great reads have been selling well. I have a Sin City lot up now that is at $200, people are willing to pay decent coin for harder to find old good reads.

blowout Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Damn. I sure wish I had the trades. I'd sell my set. I guess no-one has doubles as I have not received a single PM offering to sell me a set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharpComics.com Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 That's a good point. I might just do the quick read and flip. The problem is, if I end up liking the series as much as I think I will, I will want to keep them. Quit draggin' your feet already and pony up! One of the few series that is actually "worth it". I know, I know! I think we talked about this series like 6 months ago and I still haven't picked it up. If you REALLY want to read them, PM me and maybe I'll let you BORROW a set of mine ...

EwanUK Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 FYI - The complete set I was selling closed at an amazing £229.99 (about $460) !!! This was quite a bit more than I expected! But they were nice copies. Fortunately, the buyer also paid immediately and emailed me to say.... "Miracleman arrived this morning and I just wanted to say how pleased I am with them. The packaging was brilliant (took me 10 minutes to get in to them!) and they are in amazing condition" Looks like MM is hotting up... again...

rob_react Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 If you REALLY want to read them, PM me and maybe I'll let you BORROW a set of mine ... If you really want to just READ them, there's always BitTorrent. Normally I wouldn't mention it because I WANT people to buy comics to read, but the rights holders get exactly the same amount of money from a back issue sale that they do from BT= $0.00 Paying collector prices to simply read a story because there's no legit outlet to buy the books? That officially sucks. BT is how I have my only "copy" of Flex Mentallo. If someone really does want a set, I've got one for sale that's going on eBay this week- most books VF/NM or (much) better. PM me to stop the eBay listing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisco37 Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Holy #$^@^!!!!! Well done, Ewan. Time to re-read Miracleman and get it up on eBay. Wow!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronze_Age_Fan Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 I agree with you about modern comics, most are total [embarrasing lack of self control]. The only modern I read at the moment is CONAN, apart from that I mostly buy bronze/copper books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Neff Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 (edited) our friend grassy-knoll on ebay has 100 book lots for $109.00 plus less expensive shipping, one of the lots (# 16,17,or 18) has MM 16-22 in multiples like 6 copies of 18 and so forth. It's worth it to check it out! Edited August 31, 2005 by Dr_Neff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EwanUK Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I'd seen this lot previously - the problem is the rest of the bulk is generally unsaleable - so $150 all to England would be slightly too much. Still, I'd like to have those books. In terms of earlier post, I just bought another near complete set for around $200 - probably over-priced considering they're likely to be in the FN-VF range only. We'll see.The lot I sold for $460 on reflection was probably some of the nicest copies I've seen in a long time. I regret selling the no.20 variant a little. I also just bought 15,17 and 20 in CGC 9.8 for close to $845. Expensive I know, but I want a super high-grade run! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. But, hard to find those copies in such uber-grade. I salute you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solar Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Just curious, did you buy or end up with my 9.8 copy of #9 (the Birth Issue)? I got it graded on a whim and was astounded by how much it went for on ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kermit the frog Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 this title/series is already labeled as a "classic/must have one" and therefore will keep on a high note for some time...and even if there are some reprintings in the near future i doubt that it will bring the price down (there's always a lot of people looking for this stories). regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
