Height of the Covid boom, bought a SIKTC #5a for $1.95. Sold it for $300 a week later.
Before COVID, also scored a 55 issue lot of captain marvel comics on eBay for $60. Included the 2nd print cover of K. Kahn. Sold that one issue alone for 1k.

Ducked away from my family one Easter and bought a lot of 300+ comics for $200 from the original owner. Included full McFarlane ASM run, early TMNT, Sandman Keys (when the market was crazy) and a lot of underground HTF stuff that sold well. Made close to $3,000 on that $200 find.
Smaller but was amazed. Bought a box of mostly drek for $50. Had some stuff where I would triple my money so I bit. Was going through to to inventory and rebag…found a Hulk 180 in decent condition and complete.

Probably wrote about this when the CHU first started, but I did buy a Coverless Hulk #1 for $5 from a kid who found it in his parents or grandparent’s attic way back in the late 80’s. It was worth about $40 back then. A little bit more than that now.
