Good stuff Bro J, yea I e-mailed seller if he could put a buy now for me and he did @ 35 bucks but as soon as he did that some cheap f%@# bid on it meaning he wanted it but not for 35 bucks so dude went ahead & ended the sale and sold it to me, was kinda nervouse bein that I dont know him at all and only had his word that hed send it, although I did pay him through paypal, anyway I get em almost immediately

Oh and I came into a X-O Database VVSS for 5 bucks the other day too

At first, I thought you were saying F-U for getting such a good deal...

...but then I realized Elveen wouldn't say that.

Funny that's the first thing I think of...

wow, that's dirt cheap. I'm thinking the fact that he listed it as CCG and not CGC might have had something to do with it. He also didn't mention Valiant in the title or description. Also, some might have been wary of the "stains" on it.

Yeah, I was a little cautious about the stains comment also, but for $10.49 I thought it was worth taking a chance on.

I guess if it's too nasty you could always reslab.

Yes, the Unity #0 that arrived was a Red, the Bloodshot #0 was a VVSS and the Armorines #0 was the "stand alone" version.

I'm surprised you got those at those prices, I've been checking his listings and the prices are crazy. Congrats on some great buys though.

Yep, those are tough ones, so that's a smoking deal. I wasn't even sure if I had them until I just double checked my collection. Yep, I have them both!

Thanks, yeah, in general this guy's prices are out of line. He sells a lot of signed books. Quite a few of them are just regular comics that were signed at a show with no COA and his price is still high.

I have to give him some credit, though. His communications and the amount of time you have to wait are great. The night I bought these he and I sent several messages via the eBay system and he always responded quickly. In fact, he has a person who lists the books for him and he told the guy to specifically list a bunch more Valiant stuff since I was watching. Unfortunately, it was all overpriced stuff.

Not Valiant, but I got a Batman Long Halloween TPB for $6.99 shipped.

went to the LCS today, was hoping to pick up a pack of magazine bags and possibly some new books. They had no packs of mag bags and no new books that I was interested in. However, I did rescue the following from their 25 cent boxes:

Magnus #1-8, all in high grade with complete card sheets.
Magnus #42-53, again, all in pretty good shape. They had issues before these, but I decided I only wanted the post-Chaos Effect issues.
Ninjak #26 (another copy to add to my small hoard).
