Can't get girls, but you sure can get a good deal on comics.

Yeah, the variant alone was worth buying that one. The shipping is a little outrageous though.

Well, only 8 bucks for me to ship w/i Canada...i was really skeptical about this deal, i went through nearly a week of correspondence to ensure it was 'the good, the bad, the ugly'. Strange thing, he would never send pics but insisted it was that one as had all the information about the comic taken from this site. Not sure why he'd voluntarily throw it into the lot knowing this...

Wow, he knew about the info from this site and still put a bin of $50 for the whole lot? Wish more sellers would do that.

He seems incredbily honest. In fact, the first paypal payment didn't go through, he sent the comics without checking the paypal receit and when i got around to noticing this, it wasn't until the day the comics arrived.

Not the "steal of the century", but I'd like to think I got a good deal on this book:

Jonah Hex #1 VF+/NM
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie ... %3AIT&rd=1

The seller's a top notch guy, and I'd recommend him to anyone. The shipping to Canada took a little longer than I expected, but he kept in touch and was a great guy throughout.

Great deal, especially in that condition! still one I need to grab.

Speaking of Hex, heres something I snagged, hasnt come in yet, and I dont expect it to be any better than VG, but at least it was cheap :D

Nice pickup :thumb: I saw it and forgot to bid :oops: --- although I did e-mail the seller and was quoted rather excessive shipping of 9.5 pounds. Still, $20 shipped is a real nice price for that, congrats.
