Tell them quarter bins are a dime a dozen accross the country and if they want to actually SELL their items they should price them to SELL.

It would just fall on deaf ears, unfortunately.

Went through all their boxes of sticker priced items. Found two Shadowman V.2 #1 no price variants in Fine condition. I was going to pick them up but they wanted $3 a piece. I have a few of them so I passed.

After 30 minutes of looking through everything I found a Ninjak Newsstand I needed. I was happy with that and was going to leave when I found a .25 bin. I have read so many stories about people finding cool stuff in them. I spent about 20 minutes and found TONS of Defiant books. If I were to guess, I would say 150+ of them. Im not too keen on these so I didnt pick up any for now but I dont believe any of them were rare [as they had multiples of each].

I eventually found an Armorines #3 so I figured, what the heck, Ill keep looking. Came across 3 MINT X-O #56. Not a rare book, but Im sure they are 9.8 grades. A few minutes later I found Ninjak #1 V.2 painted. Again not all that rare but a great find for .25. After about another 15 minutes [there were 6 long boxes of .25 comics] I found my gems!! I found two, Shadowman V.3 #6 issues! Id grade them 9.4s. All in all I paid $5 for everything and walked out a happy camper

I have about 4-5 more semi local shops and Im going to check them all out this week. I never thought Id have such good luck so I might have used it all, but I will never know unless I look

Great finds bro. Congrats.

I got to go out comicing today. Very little Valiants but I did get a few cool things for my girls.

I got, The art of Bone HC (cover price $39.95) for $5. and an Owly TPB for $1.

When I got home I gave the Bone HC to my girls and they freaked out. It is a very cool book.

I was pretty stoked.

Neat little assorted lot. It has several odds and ends in it.

I paid $0.99 plus $5.50 shipping. Total cost to me of $6.49.

I got the package in today and the total postage was $6.67. Poor fellow. He's a solid dude for not charging me extra over what he quoted.
