But, I have gotten one off of Amazon that had a X-Force with Deadpool's second appearance that is worth about as much as I paid for it.

Today Just bought a 200 lot for 40 bucks off a local guy on craiglists. Which didn't have anything great but did have a lot of comics from the 90's that I did not really buy, cause I was a kid and didn't have the money, to get into. Like a bunch of Ghost Rider, Morbius, and Image comics.

I try to find them cheap as can be that way I am not disappointed for what I paid, and it also opens me up to read some stories that I might not have otherwise been able to get in to.]]> Sun, 31 Jul 2016 21:55:30 GMT https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=6113 Message from genuine_article_comics Frontzie wrote:

Do they ship to the UK? Can't seem to find if they do on their website.


Atomic Avenue is like ebay in that there are dealers selling comics. Dealers are from all over the world, including the UK. They will ship to you.]]> Sun, 31 Jul 2016 10:52:57 GMT https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=6113 Message from Jetfire426 Sun, 17 Jul 2016 15:47:14 GMT https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=6113 Message from quinnspuddinjoker Sat, 16 Jul 2016 13:37:24 GMT https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=6113 Message from robotcat http://www.ebay.com/itm/300-COMIC-BOOKS-Mixed-Lot-BRONZE-AGE-and-etc-/282087875994?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&nma=true&si=eqf2VRa%252Bm5%252FBtlAVykd05pa2hMg%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

I noticed a few decent books(TMNT 5-6, UXM 251, and couple of others). The cost was about 3 for $1, which isn't too bad. I figured I could sell enough at $1 a piece to at least make my money back, but I still thought maybe I overpaid a bit. I almost didn't bid, thinking it might get relisted at lower price, but I WTF moment and put in the opening bid.

The comics arrived yesterday and I had a few nice surprises. A few that stick out in my memory are a black bagged Superman #75, which can be seen in one of the photos, but I don't think I noticed before I bid, not seen, though are an X-Force #8 with a Deadpool card, a Captain America Annual #8, and best of all... a mid-grade copy of New Mutants 98.

So I think this purchase will work out quite well. ≈(^ᴥ^)≈]]> Fri, 15 Jul 2016 22:29:31 GMT https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=6113 Message from quinnspuddinjoker edited by Jokerbangedquinn on 7/15/2016]]> Fri, 15 Jul 2016 14:25:53 GMT https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=6113 Message from kds_comics Frontzie wrote:

Friends

If I might offer a shameless plug, You should buy from me here on CPG and forget eBay.

Okay - I am up to any offer at about 70% - 75% of guide price or so and I will ship to the UK.
Not a shop and I have only a few thousand comics - so I don't have everything - but I have a good selection of 1970's comics and plenty of issues from last ten years I bought new that are in great condition - mostly DC.

Heck, I will and have shipped to Australia!

Plus I have money back guarantee - try finding that on eBay.

I'll tell ya, I've bought a couple of long box lots on eBay, and it's always junk someone is just trying to unload. Then, on the other hand, I've got steals on single issues. I think it's very hit and miss and flat out luck on the right day.

Well after buying a few long box auctions you now know they are just as you said, mostly junk you didn't want in the first place. With time and patience there are good deals to be had all the time.]]> Thu, 14 Jul 2016 12:14:01 GMT https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=6113 Message from Frontzie genuine_article_comics wrote:

Got a few decent adds to my collection, a couple of duplicates I might flog, a decent condition Avengers #314 too.

Now to try and stop getting carried away from spending more money... Has anyone else found some sweet finds via eBay?]]> Mon, 11 Jul 2016 13:09:48 GMT
