Epic haul! 
Seeing this is giving me the urge to seek out & finish some of my incomplete VH1 runs.

Your haul reminds me of the mid-late 90's scores I used to get a local comic shows with vendors over stocked on VH1 stuff unity and after stuff (a few pre-unity here and there, but more expensive) for $0.25 a piece. I used to walk out with stacks of books 50-75 at a time at those prices. And then again in mid-2000's when a local LCS had their yearly sale, and I decided to complete my VH1 run and did a really nice job of and managed to score many late run books for $0.25-0.50 a piece.
And nice score on the Rai #0, I don't have a single copy of that and most of the other early books since I bought pretty much every TPB released shy of the Unity TPB's that I didn't really need, (but looking back should have gotten) since I had all of the singles.
But a heads up pre-unity and the end runs with the low print runs are where your biggest money hit will come from, that and locating copies of the books, since many late run Turok, EW, and Magnus where not printed en mass and were hard (and expensive) for me to get even though it's not even been 10 years yet.
Still keep up the effort, it'll be worth it in the end, lots of good reading, some so-so, but you'll appreciate the books being released more now, with what has come before (getting all of the subtle winks and nods put into the current books).
