Bragging rights - your best deal of late?

81 carded (never opened) 1991-1994 GI Joes for $800. Trust me, that's a great deal!

How much are those GI Joes from the 90s worth?

[Carson]

Depends on scarcity and popularity, just like comics.

1991 cobra commander for instance regularly sells for $50-75 on the card.

A lot of 91-94 carded figs will sell for $5-$15, plus $5-$10 for shipping. I got these 81 figures for $10 each with no shipping costs so I saved a butt-load on shipping alone.

Some of the 94 ones seem to cost more, I guess since it was the last year they weren't selling well (just like late VH1 issues) and thus are more scarce and valuable:

I'm going to photograph all of them on the card and then rip them open to make 3D photos for 3DJoes. It's gonna be a hella good time!

except for that Cobra commander fig, right? Right?!

Get a loose one for 3D Joe use, if its worth that much carded!

I'm not a big fan of the fig's from that era, but this is very cool that you've scored a huge batch for use on your site.

[Carson]

Great minds think alike! If the carded fig is worth more than $15, I'm picking up a loose one too.

I was a big 1985-1989 Joe fan. By then I was 10 and I didn't like the outlandish colors they were starting to use, so I got out. Now, for 3DJoes, I'm buying Joes I never thought if own, just to complete the site. "The fans demanded it", well that and it feeds my obsessive compulsive collecting habit

Boxing day blow outs! Most people go to the mall, I go to the comic stores.

Here's what I got-
XO#2 1:20
XO#4 1:20
Harbinger#1 1:20
Bloodshot#1 1:20
Harbinger#7 Flamingo variant (2 copies)
Harbinger#3
Bloodshot#2

Grand total $50, VF board value $96

The XO#2 and Harbinger#1 variants were a very pleasant suprise as both were in really good shape and I didn't have either.

I had to dig through boxes of variants for about an hour to pull them out, glad I did though. I thought VALIANT had a lot of variants but these were rare needles in a huge haystack of Marvel, DC, IDW, Image, Top Cow etc. etc. (ridiculous amount I was like WTF?!). I must have gone through 6 or 7 long boxes packed, the only thing I found and passed on was XO#6 Zircher variant he had 2 copies for $36 each

Just a few days ago got all 30 issues of HARD Corps for $20(shipped) off of Ebay in VF/NM condition.
I'm not overly concerned with condition as these are going to be reader copies anyway.

Sweet! I'm thinking about binding some VH1 books, so I also picked up the full Harbinger run for $70.

Groo #1 Artist Edition - $50. Not a great deal, but I love me some Sergio.

Groo was my first fave character that got me into collecting. Groo #34 was on the shelves IIRC. Dunno what this edition is but I will have to check it out.

[KXXX]

Just snagged #2,3 and 4 Dark Horse Archive Solar Hardcovers for $17.25 apiece. Happy.

Today was a very good day.

I won an EBay auction for-

A&A #1- regular, pullbox and 1:100
Bloodshot#1- regular, pullbox and 1:50

$60 with shipping included to the Great White North

I also won the caption contest over at Valiant's FB page

Valiant is sending me a surprise prize package

[Carson]

Daaaaaaayummmmmmmmm

Nice wins homie!

[hawkeyeps]

It gets better, I didn't even notice but I checked the listing again and the A&A #1 regular is signed by FVL

How the hell did that happen

SCORE

Nice! I had that auction on my watch list!

[hawkeyeps]

Nice! I had that auction on my watch list!

I watched it for more than a week and did nothing then I swooped in at the last 3 minutes and starting bidding it up, I crept it up to $46 and could see someone had a standing bid and I guessed $50 so I bid $50.07...3,2,1, I win

Super sweet deal, I'll be jazzed to get the books

[GGSAE]

Nice! I had that auction on my watch list!

Moi Aussi. There's a few regular Canadian sellers on ebay that have Valiant variants...I always hope they fly under the radar, but they never do!

Someone committed the highway robbery on this one.

Christ...and it looks like 13 people viewed it before it sold too.

[drmirage]

If I am not mistaken, did the seller ended this early and delisted it for $299.

Well, when it's green on a completed auction is was won. But it is quite possible it was a listing error, and the seller will cancel the listing.

No football today (Pro Bowl doesn't count ) so I decided to go $1 bin diving.

Here's what I got-

VH1- Shadowman #1 (in good shape, wow), Outcast #1 (suprised and needed it) and XO #51 and #52 which is where I'm at with that run.

Acclaim- Shadowman #1 (nice copy) and #2, MRF #2-6 (already had #1) and Eternal Warriors #3 (the Archer issue)

12 books $12

It was cool to get Valiant and Acclaim Shadowman #1s in the same bin dive but going through the "S" boxes was a chore, there was like 8 of them.

Somebody got a great deal, I've been on the lookout for this book as I'm hoping to get it cheaper than recent sales.

[hawkeyeps]

I got my prize for the caption contest today, it was the Harbinger #8 Lemire variant
