So I was digging around in a .25 bin yesterday and found Second Life of Dr Mirage 1 GOLD (1993)! In Near Mint condition! also picked up Deathmate yellow for .75.

You know, I could dig in .25 bins all day and the best I think I ever found was Rai #5. Congrats on the find!

I have never seen a .25 bin in my life

My first copy of SLODM gold was 50plast year dude. So much fun.

I spend at least an hour of each show i sell at trawling the 25/50p bins.

I bought box at the last one and paid £40 for nearly 250 Valiants, Nexus etc

The dude threw in two Rai & FF # 9 vvss for free.

nice

They are getting few and far between in my area. There used to be quarter boxes at just about every shop a few years ago.

We specialise in 25/50p boxes at the shows and it works really well for us.

Our stall is always the busiest and we always add new stock.
We keep it all in order too so we get alot of repeat business.

i would go mad if i could not look through cheap bins. Mad i tell you.

25 c bins where ??? i never see them

xodacia81 · Post by **xodacia81** » Sun Mar 23, 2008 7:37 pm

There are still quarter boxes here but I fear they are dying out. Dollar boxes are much more common.

There is a place that I took Knightt to, it was 5 for a $1.

The quarter bins here in town are at the Great Escape but they put the price stickers right on the comic so i don't buy there. ruins the book.

Congrats on the Gold Find!!

I love Sunday at the WizardWorld Chicago show each summer. A few dealers drop the cheap stuff to 10 cents each. You can't go wrong with that. It's great for filling in runs or trying out new books.

They do that at the Heroes Con as well.

I went to the Orlando show in 2000 and some dude had 100 boxes of 10c stuff but i had to stop from looking with only a certain amount i could bring back.
