My plan is to then sell them as dollar books in retirement ( minus the few books I actually did well on ) at the small local conventions to the next guy like me. I had similar thoughts not too long ago, but the thought of lugging 20 long boxes to shows gives me agida. Plus, having to pee every hour makes bringing a helper necessary. Otoh, neither of my kids seem to have any career aspirations, so they may have a lot of free time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily I am 5-10-50 copies deep on some decent books so I won't be crying myself to sleep giving away my only copies. anytime you want to let loose a few longboxes at decent prices let me know. I go into Brooklyn fairly often with a kid in school at Pratt. Comics4All 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked 10th and desperately wanted your Gemini Mailer BUT due to funds available to me, I went for slabs as a prize rather than raws Your prize was in my top 10 list though for sure!

I see all these books bought as deals, but they are only deals when you sell and realize the advantage! SELL SELL SELL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I don't know about the rest of the country, but the airport show in Philly happens every other month or so, so there are several throughout the year. My favorite type of show, low admission and 100% focused on buying and selling. First Upgrade, ADAMANTIUM and oldmilwaukee6er 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
