Seriously, it's the only way to buy back issues. I would cry and then pass out if I tried to do the math of buying these books at "guide value" or even at cover price.jjreason wrote:Love that "cheaper by the pound" philosophy.

Very nice. 36 cents a book, that's paying you to take them as far as I'm concerned.

Re: Big score........
Maybe I'll work out the cover price of the box I just bought, just to see the difference. I'd do "Price Guide" value, but that'd be mostly speculation. A lot of shit (like that Green Arrow book) isn't worth nearly what the book says it is.
EDIT. I'll be conservative and round down because of all the .99 and .95 prices and say $730 cover price.
Once a year, the guy has a sale at his home in Smalltown, IL and if you buy two long boxes, you get a third free. Depending on how many books you can cram in a box, it gets down to less than 20 cents per issue. Not counting gas.
The next one is in Sept.

When Dave wasnt taping his board and bags shut with his extra return mailing labels, he was leaving tiny slips of paper with his address in the bags. And then taping them with packing tape. Which completely fucks up the bag when you open them. Thanks a lot, buttface.

Re: Big score........
As I started pulling issues out to inventory them and put them in better bags and boards, I discovered that some of the issues that looked okay on the front, were water damaged and were stuck to the backboard in the bag. When trying to remove them, it shreds the back cover. Fuck! Now I have to put those issues back on my list.

Re: Big score........
I'd drive to the guy's house, tell him politely what happened, and that you, in good faith, paid your money for comics in better condition than he promised. Tell him you understand that things happen, but this is something he should have been aware of, and you'd appreciate it if he'd make it right. Then punch him in the jaw and knock him down, whip out your dong, and yell, "Listen up, motherfucker! One of us is going to leave with a little more than we have right now. Either I have more money in my pocket, or you have more semen in your stomach. Your choice."

Re: Big score........
Pfffft. I paid like 20 cents per book. If it had been one of maybe twenty of the issues I was really happy to find I'd be pissed. But they were a couple JLA annuals and a couple other books.
Plus, it's not like the guy knows what's in the boxes. He buys bulk from people selling their collections and stores selling their unwanted overstock. He has over 200 boxes to look through and a high turnover rate.

Re: Big score........
Made another haul today 150 books for $50. I finished A LOT of series and miniseries and almost finished many more. Frustrating though that I went to that Garage Sale a few weeks back and thus hadnt replenished my funds. I had to pass on sooo many books I've been looking for. Runs of Batman LotDK, Shadow of the Bat, Gotham Knights, Fables, Northlanders, Unwritten, X-Men etc. Hopefully when the guy comes back in December many of those books will still be in his inventory.
