    Man the aggressiveness in which you handle these books is disheartening.

      I try to be efficiant and sometimes its results in me going faster when flipping through books which can look on camera as if I am damaging them . I can promise you i care about the condition of comic books as much if not more than anyone else . It is something i definitely need to work on though 🤣. Thanks for checking out the video! Have a great day -Angelo

      I've seen much worse handling from store owners and most of these books were at least bagged and boarded before being tossed in a pile by the antiques shop.

    @kadett_6889 2 ปีที่แล้ว +21

    The reason the books are so beat up is because of one handed sorters. You have no respect for the books you pass up. You may not want them but leave them cool for the next person. Thanks for the show.

    • @TheComicsDen
      @TheComicsDen  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Comics aren't made for Handicapped people I guess? 🤣. The Books are beat up because the guy that owns them doesn't take care of them . If you check out my "Storage Unit " Video you'll see what I mean . Thanks for watching 👍.

      Do you want to go to the shop and correctly bag and board the books so that they start in "pristine" condition? Lol. Relax, when they're just randomly stacked, there's no way you can be careful.

    I sold a NM FF #26 back in the early 90’s at one of my dad’s booths in an Antique mall… displayed in one of his glass cases. It was a beautiful copy. Sold for $300. Needed the money for college tuition.

    I think you guys are fine on the handling of the books in these shops. The best thing you can do is getting these books OUT of the antique shop.. I might offer the shop a flat price for a short box and see what they would take.

    Cool vid. More fun than actually going through comics at the antique malls. We have a ton in my state and most just have poor condition comics at high prices. Or occasionally nice condition stuff at an ebay price. But I gotta do something while the wife is antiquing.

  • @kennethturner8290
    @kennethturner8290 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Antique stores are a mixed bag for sure. They try to probably ask higher than they are willing to take expecting people to haggle, but then they also often do not know what they have. I bought two copies of Wolverine #1 vol.2 and Suicide Squad #1 vol.1 from an antique store and gave them their full asking price of $10.

    I source comics all over the place and I have a few spots that have a lot of back issues for $1.00, $2.00 and $3.00. I am trying to fill in hole for a collection started long ago. I try not to spend more than $20.00 for something scarce to me. EBay has been hit and miss and people are very disingenuous when selling books so be sure that sellers take detailed pics, if they don't that should tell you something.

    • @TheComicsDen
      @TheComicsDen  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The thrift store gives me 30% off sticker price so it leaves me room to resell sometimes . what I basically do is list my entire collection on eBay for everyone to look at and buy from if they enjoy the comics I buy in the wild . if you see something over priced on my eBay its most likely because its something I would like to hold onto 😂.
