I pulled a Solar #10, and X-O #1 and #15 pink for a buck each yesterday. Sweet!

Plus a couple deathmate golds. Not as sweet, but still needed for my completism.

Right now I am thinking 2 or 3 complete sets would be nice. I'm on my way.

Not sure, i didn't get any of 'em. I doubt they're quarter bin prices though. But he's always been very reasonable with prices and if you're getting a bunch he starts throwing in discounts and what not.

superman-prime · Post by **superman-prime** » Thu Apr 19, 2007 12:07 am

ok now ive been to gregs lol
picked up 5 more rai 0s
a bunch of keys
magnus 12 solar 10 last issues of magnus xo turok and shadowman 1 x 3

100 bones

oh and 3 tpbs got to see if they are varients or not later on

I stopped shopping at Howard's last year. He would always gave me first pick of any Valiants he got in. Which was great. And he also discounted new books.

Anyway, I stopped shopping there when he insisted that I buy a book I did not order. It was the last Solar hardcover. Now I know the only reason he ordered it was for me, since that is what he said. Since I had bought the others he assumed I wanted it as well. Besides, he had already convinced me to buy 2 Magnus 1 hardcovers when they came out.

I needed to cut back on my comic budget anyways.

I get spam e-mail constantly from Atomic Comics because I once won one of their eBay auctions. They also run their own auctions off eBay, but the prices are crazy high. I don't know how they get anyone to buy their stuff...

one of the few places in town dont have much of a choice

You are right. Although I have found some decent deals at All About Books on central. They watch eBay prices though and everything will be over cover price.

In fact there really are not a lot of options for bargin bins in AZ.

My best deal of late would be this past Saturday, when I purchased 1-10 of Solar, in essentially Mint condition-it looks mint to me-for 29 dollars. And yes, that does include a first edition of #10. I now have two copies of 4, 5 & both editions of 10. Yay. I also picked up the first 20 issues plus #0 of Shadowman for 20, that same day. I lucked into finding a place about 40 mts away that had a half-off sale to celebrate 15 years of business. Oh, and I got issues 40-50 o&x of XO for 10 dollars. I think it was a good haul.

Not to bad on the Solar if they're all high NM.
