- In this video I stop at a local yard sale and am faced with the option to buy over 1000 comics. Leave me a comment and let me know would you have bought them or not. We also give some advice on buying gold on the street.
As soon As he said .10 a piece I woulda been like “SOLD”
Facts!😊
100% you should have pulled the trigger at $150. The Alf #1 newsstand is a $20 comic. Either way I'm sure they went to a good home. Great video, always like these. Cheers,
$150 was definitely worth the risk
I definitely would have bought them all for sure! No questions asked
Cool pickups. Thanks for sharing. We appreciate the knowledge. Those comic books were a great hustle for decades. Now, not so much.
As a comic collector, I'd have rolled the dice. Odds are you'd have found a few hundred worth spread over 10 or so comics and then sell the rest for a $1 a piece. It was an easy money maker, something to do during your shops downtime.
The big ones are Spider-Man, Batman, Avengers, X-Men. I saw a lot of fluff that are dollar books, but for .10 a piece....you definitely would have recouped your cost.
It kills me every time I watch this video! I still scream buy all of the comics hoping that it might be different 😂
10 cents a piece?!?! Spiderman! Superman! Even though it’s 90s comics which aren’t the best, this is a grand slam. $150!!! I nearly fell out my chair.
Which years you consider good ?
Man, i just want to say how much i appreciate yalls honesty with the customer and the give aways with us, you guys are the best! I really wish i had a pawn shop in my area like you or even a coin shop that is as fair as y'all! Keep it up and congratulations on 10k!
Man Justin if I was there I would have bought all of them 👍🇺🇸 great video thanks
Alfred I just couldn't pull the trigger all I could image was me selling $1 comics for the next 2 years lol
You could of also lotted them on eBay and sold them quicker that way as well. I would’ve bought them also.
Yeah man, def. Worth the buy. If anything through your research you would be paying a minimum admission fee to understand the value of comics. I would of stolen from this man at that price. Plus he said he had more, that was just a small portion. If he really bought a comic book store. It's possible he's got thousands of dollars and not even know it
Brother, brother, never ever give up the opportunity to buy comic books. Especially all the ones I saw. At least $5 each and some I saw were in the $20 range. The Spiderman comics are soaring, and the DC Superman and Batman ones are also up there. 1000 X $10 average equals 10,000 smackaroos. After he said 10 cents a comic and he agreed there were about 1000 comics, you should have said ok and paid the 100 bucks, but he noticed he was giving away thousands of dollars and added 50 bucks more. Thats when you tailed back and became confused, because you did have a point, there's alot to sell and lately kids don't read comics, but in the future those comic books will be priceless works of art, and it won't be just 10,000 bucks but way way more. I bought a stack of comics for $20 like right after the Covid days, and just one of those from 1954 turned out to be worth $7150.00 and the others were between 1,200 - 3,800. So I never say no to Comic books.
At $150 I would have said take my money!
Those comic books were a bargain.
Yes Justin you should have bought them comic books
I just don't know too much about them I didn't want have to sell $1 comics for the next 2 years lol
If nothing else, it would have been worth it just to read them.
Look forward to these every week
I'm only halfway through & god i hope you grabbed those for the 150 , That is just insane !!
I've only watched about 15 of your videos and already saw 2 person come in with that stuff bought at a gas station. I have also been approached At a gas station to buy gold. Ty for info.
keep up the good footage thanks
Always a great video 🎉🎉
Thanks again!
Comic Books, Star Wars, and Console Games,! $150 Dollars - Take Them All! 🙂😃😁
Great episode.
I loved that you paid him 31 not 30You are a cheap son of a gun but you are honest. Kudos. And yeah I would have bought the box u bought for $100 and the comics 150. Of course easy to say from home. Fun video
I would have bought the comic's at a 10 cents a piece. That Alf comic book looked awesome. Thanks for sharing Your passion and adventures Brother from Toronto Ontario Canada 😊👍♥️🇺🇸🇨🇦❤️💯💯
Favorite video of the weekend
I think at 10 cents you would have done all right considering they had boards and clear plastic on them which cost around $.50 each in supplies but the time it takes to list them one at a time would have been too much and you would still have the box of them sitting in your pawn shop. Ebay is the only place I can think of to sell them and mine have been sitting in my Ebay store for years and years that I picked up from an estate sale at 10 cents each without any supplies.
You made a good choice my friend.good job
You should have bought all of em !
For .10 a piece it’s worth it, if you’re willing to put in the time to bag, board, and sell them. You could blow them out at $1 a piece, 11 or more is .50 each. You’d have ‘3’ for awhile but you’d get your money back.
Personally i would've loved to have all these comic books . I probably wouldve offered $300 for all of them being that there so so many of them .
Love the videos
Great content u put out & good taste 4 lunch choice! Please give a shout out to Wisconsin if that Cheeseburger w/ real Wisconsin cheese was any good!
Either the Old Man peed on Himself or more likely Spilled half his copy on his own Lap!
Would have bought the lot, looked good. I put away some comics new off the rack many years ago and looked at them a few days ago and One was 500.00 one 250.00 and one was 56.00 Had no idea but happiness ensued. All three were first editions. Take care.
that old dude is a riot LUL
Hey man Justin you did good man good video I love all your videos you you do an amazing job keep up the good work man I like to have one of y'all's shirts
I appreciate that!
Should have bought the comics - that ALF 1, Man Bat 1, and Spawn/Batman book are decent books. 90% of the stash is utter junk, but it was worth the risk.
I did buy all the Batman's that was there but that's only because I'm a batman fan and I'm going to hang them up in the game room. Thanks for the comment & knowledge.
Good stuff
love it
The 90's comic market was over saturated but still $150 was well worth that whole collection especially if there was any long runs so you cud divide titles into say 5 or 10 consecutive issues. May have taken a while but u wudda sold them eventually.
125$ for all those comics i would have jumped on them lol
At .15 a piece? Hell yeah!
😂😂😂 sometimes a wrong person is in the right place...too bad...
I would have bought them
i'd say 90% of it is dollar or 50¢ comics. depending on grade of course. perhaps the last 10% might be worth $5-$25 each. again depending on grade. what you need to know is the key comics and pull those out and look at the spine and corners and wear/tear of them. for modern comics, which most of those are, you need them to be almost near mint to be worth anything. people are more forgiving for older comics pre-1990 as far as condition.
Thanks the the knowledge and comment appreciate it.
Yeah, the problem with 90's comics was they were mostly all bagged and boarded, making them all in good condition. Also the comic craz was in the 90's with Spider-Man, X men, death of Superman 🦸♂️ all on the news and hyped up.
Buy them all
i would have bought them and of course hate that i did later..buyers remorse lol
I would have got them all for 150. Quick. I would have loved the aliens, and the predator versus Batman. Glad you picked up some anyway
That stack of comics was virtually worthless. I didn't see a single key in that bunch.You made the right move.
Thanks for the comment and knowledge.
mounting boards alone were worth .10 each. The comics were free and slabbed for storage. A no brainer. They would definitely not go down in value from FREE! I would have snap called that offer. AND you never know there could have been some sleepers in there. For free I would be loading them up.
At 10 cents a book it’s worth it id always buy at that price
and this is why I love to go to garage sales....
I would have paid $300 no questions. There are probably 10-50 single issues that would make you your money back. Then make 10, “100 count” mystery boxes and sell them for $50-$100.
Im a comiccollector. I only saw one key book Alf #1 yet they were All Bag An Boarded. Thats half the battle 100 for the lot would have been a deal but like i said i didnt see any keys.
I would have picked up the comics at .10 a piece
Always remember what KENNY said u got to know when to hold em and know when to fold em and know when to walk away and know when to run THE RUN PART APPLIED HERE😅
A nother good day 😊
People overlook old comic mags like the do vinyl records, I wish I could find some in my area, I'd be real happy. THE SARGE
Heck yes, for 150 I would have bought them
Thats a great deal man if you ask me.
If you could get them for 10 cents you could make a profit by just putting a dollar bin or two in the store.
I didn't see anything while you were flipping through of any note. The porblem is, people that know pick through them and pull all the good books and leave the junk behind. It may have taken you 20 years, if ever, to sell a bunch of worthless books. The 90's were the most over produced years for comic books and it caused the comic market to crash. There may have been a few keys in there that may have made your money back or more, but what do you do with the other 1,000 no one wants?
Thank You for the comment that's about what I thought. Once again thanks for the comment and the advice and watching the video.
Odds are you'd have those comic books for years until you sold them for the same price you bought them at a flea market
I love comics too
Too many people get stuck googling prices and thinking how much they can make. Simple answer just buy it all and sell later. Somebody else will benefit from wasted time googling prices.
#80 Like 👍 ! Should have bought the comics and sold them to a comic shop for double or way more quick !
Nice silver pickup
Yes a new video
Appreciate it Kevin
i would have paid that 10 cents a book. the increase in profit is just the time. i never see comics at yard sales from my area.
My older brother gave away(to Children's Hospital in Oakland) his comic book collections long ago.... just because(he had the first 10 issues of all the big name super hero's...i also had(also gave away) Sgt Rock,Sgt Fury,Witching Hour and a few others I can't seem to recall around the same time frame to Stanford Hospital..just because
24k gold is not magnetic. Karat gold can have a minor reaction to powerful earth magnets. I have refined many slightly magnetic karat gold jewelry. I'll buy magnetic karat gold jewelry if anyone's planning to throw it away.
$150?! Come on, that’s a no brainer. Whenever I watch these videos from folks that own shops and they often don’t know shit it’s frustrating. How fo you own a biz and not know some basic info, especially with a computer sitting In our pockets. Just look up a few and it’ll even itself out quick.
i saw that punisher comic, pretty sure its worth 40 bucks alone. predator at 10:42 is worth about 20 bucks
Bought just over 200 Batman Superman & captain America. Sealed new. $150. Going through all now. Takes time but I’m already in the positive barely into the box. Price was right.
It would have been worth the risk could have been a few good 90s comics you never know what you could find in a collection plus he said some of them are signed
I wish for these kinds of oppourtunites to find a Batman adventures 12 or something
I would love that gold 1 ounce gold buffalo coin!
Yes you should have bought the comics!! it would have been well worth your time and money. 😎
The damn automatic transmissions ruined trucking. We have folks thinking they r truck driver's lol.
You know and I know any major or minor keys were plucked out of that collections long ago. I also know that even though I was nowhere near that deal, that dude flinging around his open coffee mug had me nervous just watching this!
Yes
One thing you did get right... you don't know a lot about comics, heh. Honestly though, no reason to get killed on a purchase when you don't know what you're buying. I wish I could go back and tell myself as a kid to stick to learning about coins and gold/silver instead buying every stupid "collectable" baseball / basketball / etc card under the sun.
Battletroops isn't on Ebay sealed and in fact Noble Knights Games has an UNSEALED VG copy for $125
I would f definitely bought them at a dime a piece could of sold them for a buck and made $ 850...
Feel bad for the person who got ripped off with the fake gold chain and ring
And that was a lot of comic books could have made good money all of them but it might have took you a long time I agree
I could have listened to the guy with the fake jewelry talk forever you should have kept that going lol
I’m sure the owner of the store took all the valuable
Books most comic store owners are serious collectors
The Grandpa is classic. I love that generation 😊
I see someone with a phone at my sale, i will pop up my own at my own sale. Lol
Always buy old comics Brofessor, woulda took them all for the cheap
At $ 150 is a good deal 🤝 you would have to pick out the keys bulk sell the rest .100 comics for $50 seems to sell very well
Just seeing that comic collection off the top there was nothing compelling that I saw. I would have gone through the stacks to see if there was anything worthwhile but I am pretty sure his kids went through the stuff already. I am at the point of collecting where it's better to buy an older collection to fill in the blanks and sell the rest for what I can get out of it. A comic shop will give you anywhere from 10 to 20 cents per book if you are lucky. I have enough crap in my life and plenty of long comic boxes don't need anymore unless they are a super special collection.
People love $.0.50 and $1 comics. At $0.10 you would have had a ton of tack on sales and stuff for kids to buy when parents came in. Also the chea0 comic boxes keep kids occupied and from touching everything else
Has to look up a sealed Rail Baron
at 10 cents a book shouldve bought them
And for the comics.. most of that isn't really worth that much but if it was .10 cents a book you would have definitely made money.
Yea I would have bought them for a dime each they would have been a few worth good money but could have sold for a 1.00 each in shop and triple your money
Yes that Indian coin is so pretty 🙂
