Big Comic Book Day

Well, Wednesday should be huge. Civil War 7, Amazing Spider-Man 538 and Brave & Bold 1 are all coming out Wednesday. Hopefully the weather here will be more cooperative than last week, where I only had 3 customers. I had a huge weekend though.

I am also planning my 6 month anniversary sale. It will probably be something simply, like 25% off everything in the store. Hopefully I can move some of the statues and games that have not been selling.

February has been great so far. Am am about $2000 ahead of January at this time and I am hoping for a huge week with the big titles coming out.

Dark Tower #1 has been my biggest selling title by far. I have sold about 45 copies. My preivious champ was Civil War 6 with about 30 copies. Hopefully things will continue to grow.

I am still working on getting the large collections I purchased ready for sale. I will have an 8 foot table full of $1 books and I hope to get some of the better books on eBay soon.

I am also working on redoing my back issue display because I have run out of room for my new books and I need to steal the all that I have an 8 foot table of back issues plus my expensive books display. I will take before and after photos.

Overall things are still going great. No feeling of burnout or distress. I am still having fun every day.

Hopefully this will keep going.

Always buying!

Well this past week I have bought apporximately 3000 books form people cleaning out attics and basements. Yes, there were some of the dreaded early '90's glut (Malibu, Valiant, Image, Death of Superman, X-Force 1 - Still bagged with card!!!) but there is also a collection of approx 2400 books from the mid '70's through the mid '80's. Most of Miller's Daredevils including 158 & 168, full Crisis on Infinite Earths, Wolverine mini, huse runs of Fantastic Four, Avengers, all the key Spider-Man black cosutme appearances (well, except #300, but there are more books coming, I am told).

I will be getting a lot of these runs up on eBay as soon as I get them all sorted. I don't exactly have the workspace needed in the store to do this. I also used up my entire long box inventory getting them out of the banana boxes, file drawers adn milk crates they all came in.

Now to bag and board and price. Weeeeeee!
