A few lines from post:
For serious classic comic collectors only.
They are very rare.
Some super heroes were recently in movies so the value for the comics featuring them is priceless.
The comics are all authentic.....

I emailed him and told him that those books could be easily found in quarter bins or cheaper. He responded and said that he'd been out of the loop for a while and thanked me for letting him know the deal. Seems like a nice guy.

Thanks for letting me know that. Sometimes you think its just a big a-hole trying to make a fast buck. In reality its just a normal Joe thinking its fairly decent price to sell a book.

Here's a goofy one, more than a shameful one:

A copy of Visitor #8, signed by Sean Chen. Only problem I see is that according to the credits, Chen had nothing to do with this book. :?

That's right, you too can own a well centered copy of Rai 4.

I am not so sure I would laugh. Go look at his feedback. He sold 2 sets of Death of Superman books for $50 each! :o That's right, $50 not .50. Maybe he has some type of magic spell or something :lol:

Check out the shipping. I have been going back and forth with this seller and she says she basically is charging for the shipping supplies and her time to pack it. What a load of crap. She won't come down on the shipping. I tried.
