    Man the aggressiveness in which you handle these books is disheartening.

      I try to be efficiant and sometimes its results in me going faster when flipping through books which can look on camera as if I am damaging them . I can promise you i care about the condition of comic books as much if not more than anyone else . It is something i definitely need to work on though 🤣. Thanks for checking out the video! Have a great day -Angelo

      Wow....the comic handling professionals are out on this video!! If they are bagged and boarded, they are fine. If not, then nobodies expecting them to stay in mint condition.

      I've seen much worse handling from store owners and most of these books were at least bagged and boarded before being tossed in a pile by the antiques shop.

    The reason the books are so beat up is because of one handed sorters. You have no respect for the books you pass up. You may not want them but leave them cool for the next person. Thanks for the show.

    • @TheComicsDen

      Comics aren't made for Handicapped people I guess? 🤣. The Books are beat up because the guy that owns them doesn't take care of them . If you check out my "Storage Unit " Video you'll see what I mean . Thanks for watching 👍.

      Do you want to go to the shop and correctly bag and board the books so that they start in "pristine" condition? Lol. Relax, when they're just randomly stacked, there's no way you can be careful.

    I sold a NM FF #26 back in the early 90’s at one of my dad’s booths in an Antique mall… displayed in one of his glass cases. It was a beautiful copy. Sold for $300. Needed the money for college tuition.

  • @kennethturner8290
    @kennethturner8290 2 роки тому +2

    I think you guys are fine on the handling of the books in these shops. The best thing you can do is getting these books OUT of the antique shop.. I might offer the shop a flat price for a short box and see what they would take.

  • @mikecally5720

    Most antique shops I've been in have their comics way over priced. They use price guides which are at least double the prices on eBay.

    At 8:28 on the lower right of the screen ( under the short box) there is a psychedelic print. That very well could be marvel greetings cards from the 60s. They are worth serious cash. And cool looking

    Antique stores are a mixed bag for sure. They try to probably ask higher than they are willing to take expecting people to haggle, but then they also often do not know what they have. I bought two copies of Wolverine #1 vol.2 and Suicide Squad #1 vol.1 from an antique store and gave them their full asking price of $10.

    I source comics all over the place and I have a few spots that have a lot of back issues for $1.00, $2.00 and $3.00. I am trying to fill in hole for a collection started long ago. I try not to spend more than $20.00 for something scarce to me. EBay has been hit and miss and people are very disingenuous when selling books so be sure that sellers take detailed pics, if they don't that should tell you something.

    • @TheComicsDen
      @TheComicsDen  2 роки тому

      The thrift store gives me 30% off sticker price so it leaves me room to resell sometimes . what I basically do is list my entire collection on eBay for everyone to look at and buy from if they enjoy the comics I buy in the wild . if you see something over priced on my eBay its most likely because its something I would like to hold onto 😂.

    Oh come on. The prices are mostly crazy, you don't get to choose what comics you want (it's only what you find) and you completely ignore the amount of time dedicated to finding 'bargains. Antique shops are horrible places for comics if you are honest with yourself.
