Popular Post BA773 Posted January 7 Popular Post Share Posted January 7 (edited) I know that for many people here it will not look so good... But for me it is. Since i started the hobby i never crazily overpaid but many times i paid a bit more than i should have when i looking back... I never joined before the "dollar bin" club, now its done! I found an amazing Det. Comics run of nearly 300 issues, exactly on the range of time i was looking for (1987-2011) . So happy! Now i can sleep and come back the next year Edited January 29 by BA773 KCOComics, KirbyJack, Topnotchman and 19 others 21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now i can sleep and come back the next year I think you got a great deal. Even with a pull service its hard to go to the local Comic Book store week after week to purchase books and not miss an issue. Congratulations you have lots of great reading ahead.

I already collected the batman for a time now and I was used to read online when it was a crossover but its not the same that to have the real book in your hands, so now i will be able to read these entire stories physically there are so much crazy storyline splited in the 2 titles that i hav not read yet, Knightfall, No man's Land, Murderer/fugitive. And if you look at the solo runs Detective has know some really summit during all these years, all the autors who worked on it did a great job, Dixon, Rucka, Dini and under the radar Gabrych, Lapham and more. I am also really curious about the backup stories, really cool to get some additional stuff in addition! About that... i dont read the books published after 2011 so i have an interrogation, are the backup story still existing in the new 52 and rebirth era?

I wonder how many other people missed it by keyword search thanks to 'hugh' lot. Lot was follow by 3 people, Ebay price are totally random usually... so i often see some totally overpriced lot of modern, like 5 per books but sometimes there are some really nice continueous run like this one for 1 per book and im really surprised how longer i can take to move sometimes, for exemple there is now a lot of 200 Hellblazer for 1 each which are not moving for like 2 months... The only problem i can see with this kind of lot its that probably most of the people interested by a run already have started to collect issues with smaller lot so if they buy it they will have a lot of duplicate...

For me it was a golden opportunity because i live in Europe and the shipping was only 100 for 300 books!!! Its crazy i already paid this kind of ammount for less than 100 books Namtak, ttfitz, BigLeagueCHEW and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BA773 Posted January 12 Author Share Posted January 12 (edited) Not a really hugh fan of pricecharting.com but it still helping some time to give yourself an idea... Its just that sometime the price are falsed because a bundle of book, or a variant or something are take into account on the average price of sale for an issue. However it still not to bad comparated to other websites. So first i specify that most of the time you can obtain modern books in bulk quantity and you will for sure save money but here we just take the view on how much they are sold each alone. And yes sell indivually the books can take years, we know... its just to give an idea. So i started to make a rate for the individual average price of these books, and only issues the 100 first reach a total of 314 $. So yes we can tell that it was not a bad deal Edited January 12 by BA773 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BA773 Posted January 29 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 29 So... this is nearly unbelievable, the packaging was ready for a war, so much protection, perfect. i will say that easily 90% of the books are Near Mint, a details maybe but the bags are the best type for me, they are resealable! Here i included some pics of some books which are absolutely not my favourites covers but they are the most popular i tought so i choose them for the review, here we see, first Spoiler, Anarky. The batman from an other world by Ostrander. Early Harley Queen Appearence. Title change as Batwoman. And finally Black Mirror which are coming HOT again on Ebay now.
