| So my LCS bought a large(around 60000 books) collection recently and are currently going through it. It is a lot of moderns and then some going back to the 70s and 80s. Mostly marvel. The owner and a girl that works there I stop and chat with occasionally and I have several subscriptions through them etc. They offered first dibs to subscribers as well as a discount on the runs they find(although theyre selling most in full runs and not singles). Here's the kicker...from what the collector told him and what he's seen, he thinks this guy probably bought at least 1 copy of every marvel comic made over the last 15 or so years. So the question is, what would you look for? I already was offered dibs on multiple venom and carnage runs theyre putting together, most likely will be buying the entire carnage, carnage usa, venom v4 and possibly venom v3 runs. And to note : this guy was very delicate with his books. Everything he's posted so far and shown me looks at least a 9.0 or higher, with most being 9.4+. |

| Secret Wars run. Almost every issue of secret wars is a key of some kind. | ||

 If the viagra is working you should be well over a 9.8.

| I was also going to suggest Ultimate Fallout. NYX is a good one as 3 and 4 are both worth a little something. Edge of Spider-Verse would be solid. Maybe the Thanos run with Cosmic Ghostrider? I haven't looked at prices for that in a while. The 2012 Captain Marvel run would probably be under the radar, but 14 and 17 are the first two cameos of Kamala Khan. |

| I think the majority is 2000 or later, although I did see a good bit of uncanny xmen(he had 2 stacks with at least 50 in each, looked to be around the early 100s to 400s. I'm fairly sure there are 80s and 90s ASM there as well, they're basically getting a nice selection of anything venom and Carnage related for me to look at today or tomorrow. Uf4 and nyx 3 are most likely in there, but they'd break my bank account lol. He's willing to give me below ebay pricing plus my discount but I'm sure issues like that will still be salty. |

| The pricing so far on runs is kinda up and down that he's posting. Some too high, some a good bit lower. Luckily I picked up a NM set of carnage usa for 50 bucks to start off which sold history is a minimum of 70, some sold for 100+. Should be a fun night, guess he's gonna post a bunch of runs on fb for claims for people with pull boxes. |

| He said about 95% marvel or so, everything I've seen so far has been marvel. Some older issues though and not just modern. Just posted sets of captain america between 190-450 total of about 230 books and daredevil between 97 and 380 about 270 books total. I know it's a job, but going through that many books has to be fun as hell. Especially when he said the owner had almost everything all sorted and in order in boxes already lol |

| Justice League Dark #1 has serious potential. Also recommend Batman Damned #1 with a wang, and Marville Origins entire run, | ||

| I don’t know much about Moderns, but high grade runs of ASM and X-Men are always in demand. And Miller’s DD run is a must if you don’t already have it. | ||

| Just suggesting to suggest tell your lcs about the forum. Ask to post here. Can't see how it would be anything but a win win. Lower prices for those interested less fees and no 1099s for him if he takes checks or money orders. Just a thought | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Pre_Coder 1980's I was still mostly at parents mercy for $$ to buy comics - got my first job at 13?? so 1987 - after that my limiting factor was only 1 ice cream shop/news paper place in town to get comics. 1990 now I have a drivers license and then the city becomes a place to get books!! Only way from my town to the closest city before was..ride your bike (doable but hour of hour and a half one way) or take the bus -once a week leaves town and comes back only once on that day - miss either way and you are screwed!! Way I figure...if it was something from the 90's that I didn't buy when it came out or haven't already bought since then I can probably go without!! even most of the 80's stuff - same with moderns |

| So far I only bought a run of carnage usa for 50, all NM. Was offered the entire venom collection but I already have a good bit of it. He offered me essentially every venom series i know of including venom vs carnage, sinner takes all etc for 650 total. It was definitely worth a good bit more than that but I can't bring myself to spend that kind of money when I already have half of it. | ||
