Conacon Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 When you say dollar box... surely this isn't in someone's $ bin at an LCS? Just so everyone knows, if I say dollar bin, I'm talking any comic I get for $1 anywhere. My LCS doesn't discount comics.

Conacon Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 That's awesome. The closest I have to a $1 bin is Half Priced Books and Game Exchange. And Entertainmart! I guess I'm not so oppressed after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You better go back and get more selling books like that will surely get them out of business. That's beyond stupid. I mean seriously I had shops that mismanage their books everywhere, but your area seems to have the most incompetent I have ever seen. maidenmate91 and greggy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just so everyone knows, if I say dollar bin, I'm talking any comic I get for $1 anywhere. My LCS doesn't discount comics. That's the definition I use, with the qualifier that I am specifically talking somewhere that sells comics regularly. I wouldn't include an antique store that happened to have half a dozen books, for example. I know at least one store that will at least occasionally put good stuff in the bins deliberately to keep people looking, or because it's not in their specific wheelhouse. I like to claim the dollar I spent on this book was the second best book that store sold that weekend, for example: (The best book they sold that weekend was the 9.0 Action #1, just for reference.)

Popular Post Conacon Posted March 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2020 Okay, so maybe not a real dollar bin, but picked up the Detective and X-Men for 99 cents each and the three Batgirls in one bag for 99 cents. Ended up spending almost $100 at two Game Xchange locations in Dallas. Sorry guys, cleaned them out!

Popular Post Hey Kids, Comics! Posted March 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2020 I rarely see Xenozoic Tales in $1 boxes and I’ve surely never found a full run of 1-14 until now. F For Fake, Jimbo749, AGGIEZ and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry guys, cleaned them out! Where did you find a Det880 for a buck? It's in his post I went by a location to check it out, but only found the Ultimate X #1 in raw 6.5 and they charged me $3.25...... There also was a cry for dawn issue raw, it wasn't a 9.8, but that book in 9.8 goes for some $$, I left it there At least it's on my radar now, Game Xchange is the name of the store, it's only 10 minutes away from me. Here is hoping. It's more of a game store, I don't know how often they get new stock, not sure where they are getting their supply as it's a video game store Edited March 12, 2020 by ADAMANTIUM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is hoping. It's more of a game store, I don't know how often they get new stock, not sure where they are getting their supply as it's a video game store I've been scouring every Game Xchange in East Texas and have been pretty lucky so far. Also found JSA Classified 1 Adam Hughes variant, as well as several Batman 89s and 90s and YOTV Hell Arisen 3s (7 or 8 total). JSA was priced at $4.50 and the Batman issues were cover price. Some stores sell new comics and old and some stores just sell back issues. Their order system is crazy for new comics. They mostly carry core titles and multiple copies of them, but the orders come from corporate, not the stores themselves. Prices vary widely, too. Some have ALL their back issues at $.99 and some charge $1.99 for anything older than 1985. And some honor whatever price is on their bag (which can lead to a beat up 1.5 bronze age comic being $12.50). One store let me have several TPBs for $.99 each as though they were regular issues, but some stores have TPBs at cover price. I've noticed my local store is piling up. Partly bc they're ordering way too many non sellers and partly bc their large back issue stock has been picked through, so it's not moving anymore. Careful out there- these guys like to grasp the comics like they're slippery fish when scanning them! I've yet to meet a worker who appreciates maintaining condition. I've even taken the comics out of their hands a few times. ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William-James88 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) Had some fun in the dollar bin of my LCS today (wanted to go one last time before they closed shop for the quarantine). There was a Bane conquest 2 as well that I forgot to photograph. Edited March 20, 2020 by William-James88 OtherEric 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conacon Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 $1 at Entertainmart. The cashier said, "That shouldn't be a dollar. I didn't know we had these." I said, "Comicbooks? Yeah there's a load of them back there." Then we shared that, "you and I both know what I mean" look and I quietly paid for my stuff.

I've had my copy for years, fortunately. I've gotten a couple of Warp #5's from dollar bins since the news hit, but not the Starslayers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
