- In this video I stop at a local yard sale and am faced with the option to buy over 1000 comics. Leave me a comment and let me know would you have bought them or not. We also give some advice on buying gold on the street.
$150 was definitely worth the risk
100% you should have pulled the trigger at $150. The Alf #1 newsstand is a $20 comic. Either way I'm sure they went to a good home. Great video, always like these. Cheers,
As soon As he said .10 a piece I woulda been like “SOLD”
Facts!😊
I definitely would have bought them all for sure! No questions asked
It kills me every time I watch this video! I still scream buy all of the comics hoping that it might be different 😂
As a comic collector, I'd have rolled the dice. Odds are you'd have found a few hundred worth spread over 10 or so comics and then sell the rest for a $1 a piece. It was an easy money maker, something to do during your shops downtime.
Cool pickups. Thanks for sharing. We appreciate the knowledge. Those comic books were a great hustle for decades. Now, not so much.
The big ones are Spider-Man, Batman, Avengers, X-Men. I saw a lot of fluff that are dollar books, but for .10 a piece....you definitely would have recouped your cost.
Man, i just want to say how much i appreciate yalls honesty with the customer and the give aways with us, you guys are the best! I really wish i had a pawn shop in my area like you or even a coin shop that is as fair as y'all! Keep it up and congratulations on 10k!
Those comic books were a bargain.
10 cents a piece?!?! Spiderman! Superman! Even though it’s 90s comics which aren’t the best, this is a grand slam. $150!!! I nearly fell out my chair.
Which years you consider good ?
@@Keeps- probably 70s and under for the bigger money. But comics over 30+ years old are better to sell. These were 90s comics so close to if not 30 years old. So they would have made thousands of dollars for only $150. It would be a good amount of work but completely worth it in my opinion.
Yeah man, def. Worth the buy. If anything through your research you would be paying a minimum admission fee to understand the value of comics. I would of stolen from this man at that price. Plus he said he had more, that was just a small portion. If he really bought a comic book store. It's possible he's got thousands of dollars and not even know it
Man Justin if I was there I would have bought all of them 👍🇺🇸 great video thanks
Alfred I just couldn't pull the trigger all I could image was me selling $1 comics for the next 2 years lol
You could of also lotted them on eBay and sold them quicker that way as well. I would’ve bought them also.
Brother, brother, never ever give up the opportunity to buy comic books. Especially all the ones I saw. At least $5 each and some I saw were in the $20 range. The Spiderman comics are soaring, and the DC Superman and Batman ones are also up there. 1000 X $10 average equals 10,000 smackaroos. After he said 10 cents a comic and he agreed there were about 1000 comics, you should have said ok and paid the 100 bucks, but he noticed he was giving away thousands of dollars and added 50 bucks more. Thats when you tailed back and became confused, because you did have a point, there's alot to sell and lately kids don't read comics, but in the future those comic books will be priceless works of art, and it won't be just 10,000 bucks but way way more. I bought a stack of comics for $20 like right after the Covid days, and just one of those from 1954 turned out to be worth $7150.00 and the others were between 1,200 - 3,800. So I never say no to Comic books.
At $150 I would have said take my money!
Comic Books, Star Wars, and Console Games,! $150 Dollars - Take Them All! 🙂😃😁
Yes Justin you should have bought them comic books
I just don't know too much about them I didn't want have to sell $1 comics for the next 2 years lol
I would have bought the comic's at a 10 cents a piece. That Alf comic book looked awesome. Thanks for sharing Your passion and adventures Brother from Toronto Ontario Canada 😊👍♥️🇺🇸🇨🇦❤️💯💯
If nothing else, it would have been worth it just to read them.
I've only watched about 15 of your videos and already saw 2 person come in with that stuff bought at a gas station. I have also been approached At a gas station to buy gold. Ty for info.
I'm only halfway through & god i hope you grabbed those for the 150 , That is just insane !!
I loved that you paid him 31 not 30You are a cheap son of a gun but you are honest. Kudos. And yeah I would have bought the box u bought for $100 and the comics 150. Of course easy to say from home. Fun video
You should have bought all of em !
Look forward to these every week
Always a great video 🎉🎉
Thanks again!
keep up the good footage thanks
Would have bought the lot, looked good. I put away some comics new off the rack many years ago and looked at them a few days ago and One was 500.00 one 250.00 and one was 56.00 Had no idea but happiness ensued. All three were first editions. Take care.
I would have got them all for 150. Quick. I would have loved the aliens, and the predator versus Batman. Glad you picked up some anyway
You made a good choice my friend.good job
Great content u put out & good taste 4 lunch choice! Please give a shout out to Wisconsin if that Cheeseburger w/ real Wisconsin cheese was any good!
Favorite video of the weekend
Great episode.
that old dude is a riot LUL
Hey man Justin you did good man good video I love all your videos you you do an amazing job keep up the good work man I like to have one of y'all's shirts
I appreciate that!
Personally i would've loved to have all these comic books . I probably wouldve offered $300 for all of them being that there so so many of them .
At .15 a piece? Hell yeah!
😂😂😂 sometimes a wrong person is in the right place...too bad...
Either the Old Man peed on Himself or more likely Spilled half his copy on his own Lap!
For .10 a piece it’s worth it, if you’re willing to put in the time to bag, board, and sell them. You could blow them out at $1 a piece, 11 or more is .50 each. You’d have ‘3’ for awhile but you’d get your money back.
I think at 10 cents you would have done all right considering they had boards and clear plastic on them which cost around $.50 each in supplies but the time it takes to list them one at a time would have been too much and you would still have the box of them sitting in your pawn shop. Ebay is the only place I can think of to sell them and mine have been sitting in my Ebay store for years and years that I picked up from an estate sale at 10 cents each without any supplies.
At 10 cents each he would have been able to lot them up and list them really cheap. So they would most likely sell pretty quickly. He would not have made as much if he listed and sold them for every cent they were worth. But they would be gone quick and he would still make good money.
125$ for all those comics i would have jumped on them lol
Yes you should have bought the comics!! it would have been well worth your time and money. 😎
Should have bought the comics - that ALF 1, Man Bat 1, and Spawn/Batman book are decent books. 90% of the stash is utter junk, but it was worth the risk.
I did buy all the Batman's that was there but that's only because I'm a batman fan and I'm going to hang them up in the game room. Thanks for the comment & knowledge.
Love the videos
Always remember what KENNY said u got to know when to hold em and know when to fold em and know when to walk away and know when to run THE RUN PART APPLIED HERE😅
#80 Like 👍 ! Should have bought the comics and sold them to a comic shop for double or way more quick !
and this is why I love to go to garage sales....
i'd say 90% of it is dollar or 50¢ comics. depending on grade of course. perhaps the last 10% might be worth $5-$25 each. again depending on grade. what you need to know is the key comics and pull those out and look at the spine and corners and wear/tear of them. for modern comics, which most of those are, you need them to be almost near mint to be worth anything. people are more forgiving for older comics pre-1990 as far as condition.
Thanks the the knowledge and comment appreciate it.
Yeah, the problem with 90's comics was they were mostly all bagged and boarded, making them all in good condition. Also the comic craz was in the 90's with Spider-Man, X men, death of Superman 🦸♂️ all on the news and hyped up.
i would have bought them and of course hate that i did later..buyers remorse lol
People overlook old comic mags like the do vinyl records, I wish I could find some in my area, I'd be real happy. THE SARGE
You know and I know any major or minor keys were plucked out of that collections long ago. I also know that even though I was nowhere near that deal, that dude flinging around his open coffee mug had me nervous just watching this!
Yes would have brought
Good stuff
The 90's comic market was over saturated but still $150 was well worth that whole collection especially if there was any long runs so you cud divide titles into say 5 or 10 consecutive issues. May have taken a while but u wudda sold them eventually.
That stack of comics was virtually worthless. I didn't see a single key in that bunch.You made the right move.
Thanks for the comment and knowledge.
I could have listened to the guy with the fake jewelry talk forever you should have kept that going lol
I would love that gold 1 ounce gold buffalo coin!
Thats a great deal man if you ask me.
At 10 cents a book it’s worth it id always buy at that price
mounting boards alone were worth .10 each. The comics were free and slabbed for storage. A no brainer. They would definitely not go down in value from FREE! I would have snap called that offer. AND you never know there could have been some sleepers in there. For free I would be loading them up.
Heck yes, for 150 I would have bought them
Buy them all
How could you ever think you made a mistake finding all those comics for that price. Definitely, no DEFINITELY YOU GOT YOURSELF A WONDERFUL DEAL!!! Where am I when these deals are around
Not there that's for sure!!! 😢 GaryBailey KingofDarkness God of Thunder and Lightning
The Grandpa is classic. I love that generation 😊
love it
My older brother gave away(to Children's Hospital in Oakland) his comic book collections long ago.... just because(he had the first 10 issues of all the big name super hero's...i also had(also gave away) Sgt Rock,Sgt Fury,Witching Hour and a few others I can't seem to recall around the same time frame to Stanford Hospital..just because
I would have bought them
A nother good day 😊
I would have paid $300 no questions. There are probably 10-50 single issues that would make you your money back. Then make 10, “100 count” mystery boxes and sell them for $50-$100.
I would have picked up the comics at .10 a piece
At $ 150 is a good deal 🤝 you would have to pick out the keys bulk sell the rest .100 comics for $50 seems to sell very well
Im a comiccollector. I only saw one key book Alf #1 yet they were All Bag An Boarded. Thats half the battle 100 for the lot would have been a deal but like i said i didnt see any keys.
Yes a new video
Appreciate it Kevin
Yes that Indian coin is so pretty 🙂
Bought just over 200 Batman Superman & captain America. Sealed new. $150. Going through all now. Takes time but I’m already in the positive barely into the box. Price was right.
I see someone with a phone at my sale, i will pop up my own at my own sale. Lol
Nice silver pickup
Just seeing that comic collection off the top there was nothing compelling that I saw. I would have gone through the stacks to see if there was anything worthwhile but I am pretty sure his kids went through the stuff already. I am at the point of collecting where it's better to buy an older collection to fill in the blanks and sell the rest for what I can get out of it. A comic shop will give you anywhere from 10 to 20 cents per book if you are lucky. I have enough crap in my life and plenty of long comic boxes don't need anymore unless they are a super special collection.
I love comics too
One thing you did get right... you don't know a lot about comics, heh. Honestly though, no reason to get killed on a purchase when you don't know what you're buying. I wish I could go back and tell myself as a kid to stick to learning about coins and gold/silver instead buying every stupid "collectable" baseball / basketball / etc card under the sun.
$150?! Come on, that’s a no brainer. Whenever I watch these videos from folks that own shops and they often don’t know shit it’s frustrating. How fo you own a biz and not know some basic info, especially with a computer sitting In our pockets. Just look up a few and it’ll even itself out quick.
i would have paid that 10 cents a book. the increase in profit is just the time. i never see comics at yard sales from my area.
I didn't see anything while you were flipping through of any note. The porblem is, people that know pick through them and pull all the good books and leave the junk behind. It may have taken you 20 years, if ever, to sell a bunch of worthless books. The 90's were the most over produced years for comic books and it caused the comic market to crash. There may have been a few keys in there that may have made your money back or more, but what do you do with the other 1,000 no one wants?
Thank You for the comment that's about what I thought. Once again thanks for the comment and the advice and watching the video.
If you could get them for 10 cents you could make a profit by just putting a dollar bin or two in the store.
Too many people get stuck googling prices and thinking how much they can make. Simple answer just buy it all and sell later. Somebody else will benefit from wasted time googling prices.
The damn automatic transmissions ruined trucking. We have folks thinking they r truck driver's lol.
$150 for 1000 comics - I would have snapped the chance.
Always buy old comics Brofessor, woulda took them all for the cheap
i saw that punisher comic, pretty sure its worth 40 bucks alone. predator at 10:42 is worth about 20 bucks
Odds are you'd have those comic books for years until you sold them for the same price you bought them at a flea market
Out of curiosity, what are you using for a camera ?
The bag and board for each comic might have been worth that 10 cents he asked for lol
Feel bad for the person who got ripped off with the fake gold chain and ring
Depends my guy, 90's books are mostly worthless. if you can find stuff from 70's or 80's is a better bet. But I agree $150 would be a good learning experience but you would maybe double up. keycollector.com gocollect.com happy hunting
I’m sure the owner of the store took all the valuable
Books most comic store owners are serious collectors
People love $.0.50 and $1 comics. At $0.10 you would have had a ton of tack on sales and stuff for kids to buy when parents came in. Also the chea0 comic boxes keep kids occupied and from touching everything else
24k gold is not magnetic. Karat gold can have a minor reaction to powerful earth magnets. I have refined many slightly magnetic karat gold jewelry. I'll buy magnetic karat gold jewelry if anyone's planning to throw it away.
Sealed Panzer Blitz and Rail Baron?! Wow!! The Alf comic might have been the gem of the group. THere's one where ALf is fornicating on the cover that is very expensive.
I would f definitely bought them at a dime a piece could of sold them for a buck and made $ 850...
at 10 cents a book shouldve bought them
