An update on the collection I bought. Turned out to be about 700 books. All very nicely bagged and boarded. The initial listing checked a few boxes for potential big keys: located in a tiny town relatively far from a metro. Books were nicely stored, but not in standard boxes. Great price.
Sadly, zip. A smattering of small maybe keys, but mostly run filler stuff. I’m very happy with the purchase, as I have a buyer for most of it already. But, no UF4. I plan to keep about 60 of the books. Easily could keep more, as the titles were solid, but I’m already running out of storage space quickly.
Small comic con haul.
Before you razz me too much…I always wanted those McFarlane covers, including the Dazzler books. It really wasn’t a FOMO Dazzler hype buy.
Other than those, I stuck to my plan pretty well.
Correct, I should have clarified better as he only did those Marvel Tales covers with Dazzler. I just really liked that other Dazzler cover because Luke Cage is awesome & it caught my eye.
SWEET CHRISTMAS!!!
Speaking of yard sales and other things. Setting up at a flea market today at the Carrol County AG Center. Bringing some stuff with me. Box of $1 comics. Two boxes of $3 comics, box of priced as marked variants, some action figures, pops, signed prints. Even a couple of slabs. Going to test it out. Never done this kind of sale before. Figured there is only one comic shop in the area so there could be some comic hungry buyers. Mostly going to hang out with my mom for the day but hoping to score some cash off recent purchases and extras from collections I have picked up.
My set up is one box of $1, two boxes of bagged and boarded $3 comics, and a box of priced books and variants. Brought toys and other things. So far have done surprisingly well. Mostly older guys but have sold about $300. Sold several variants but a bunch of $3 books. Mind you, by bagging and boarding my .50 books I have sold so many for $3
Yooo @Anthony you just inspired me with my lil man. Jus said he has some old figs he wants to move. And I have comics I want to hand sell for cheap. I like that man. #Salute
It was fun. I made over $300 on books that are dupes and trips sitting in bins I planned to eventually put up for a buck. Well presented $3 bins sell well. My son sold Hot wheels, old books and dvd’s from when he was younger, and action figures (some went to a pre-school and some went to an adult with a mental handicap. He spent some money and still came home with $50. So it was awesome. I paid $40 for the booth and 3 tables. It was a blast.
Glad you had a good time, @Anthony! It is fun to spend time doing a hobby you enjoy with your family. My older son likes to help me put together bags and boards and I’ve joked with my wife when both are older they can help me do comic shows and lug stuff around!
I’ve had glasses since 2nd grade and my vision is literally 20/400 or something absurd.
