Trade Paperbacks (and Hard Covers) Heating Up!

I was saying how some IDW variants made me the most money from that lot I bought.

Which one of you just bought the one for $35 on eBay. Stole it right out of my cart…

Sold this today for $55 + ship

I think I have seen this one around.

Be on the lookout for this. The third and final volume is quite hard to find with a much lower print run. The first 2 volumes can be found for cheap but readers are looking for the third volume which can get quite expensive.

It always surprises me when these sell for significantly more than what it would cost to buy the individual comics…

There is a small group of EoW fans that want anything EoW related and will pay well for htf stuff.

Another hardcover to look for. I spotted this on marketplace in a lot for $20. Had a hunch it might be a solid one. There are none on ebay, and recent sales are upwards of $150. Sadly, I was too late to get that marketplace lot.

I picked up a bunch of new IDW GI Joe trades and hardcovers cheap today. Picked up a TPB the other day cheap. Undercut the market, and sold it the same day at a huge profit.

Two sweetest words in the English language

Under Cut!

Under Cut!!

That’s what a lot of people don’t understand, that if the buy in price is right, there is a good chance for profit to be made

I paid anywhere from $5 $8 each for books that sell for $50-$90. I sell one I break even (or break even and make a profit) though technically I just spent the profit off the one I got the other day.

Saw this in an email and thought to pass it on. Last Ronin HC signed Ltd 500

Love Love Love Limited, signed Hardcovers.
Been buying them all my collecting life.

IMO, it sure beats the mass produced commodity called a comic

Thanks for this!

While I didn’t get the aforementioned TMNT book, I did buy:

  1. Sonic the Hedgehog: Box Set, vol 1-3. IDW exclusive. $38.25 after 15% discount ($44.99)
  2. Mystery Pack (5 comics). $60 (usually $75)

The Sonic has a ‘special, foil stamp’ on the box cover art (I assume to mark it as exclusive).

I’m happy and will be happier if I get a cool Sonic, TMNT or foil Godzilla!

Last week I walked into a shop that was 80% trades. Had no idea what to look for but I remember seeing on here that Mr and Mrs x was hot as well as some red hood. They said they sold out of anything red hood and the Mr and Mrs x someone just bought a few days earlier.

Perhaps the CHU members who are more honed in on trades could update the CHU official hunt list with trades we should be looking for while out hunting?

Love this idea! Can we make a second, similar hunt post for Trades? I struggle with knowing which ones to hunt for as well, and some of these go for serious dollars.
