Great find and deal. My largest Craig’s List purchase was 2700 comics for $200. Buying 50,000 comics sounds fun, but I’m a reader and there is just no way I could read all of those.
Lol thanks. Me neither.
Damn… $200
Wow!!! You must be so happy about this! Going through all of those boxes must be a real treat for a comic book fan. Good for you! I’m glad the negotiations worked out.
Thanks Mel! I am soooooo excited!!
Congratulations Dom, what an insane haul! It will definitely take you a very long time. What a great deal!
Thank you! Fortunately WhatNot will help me speed things up.
You looked like a kid in a candy store!!!!I am soooo happy for you!! I had a smile on my face throughout your entire video!! GREAT JOB!
Thanks Tanya! I had such a great time doing this. So excited to dig in!
Thanks Tanya! I had such a great time doing this. So excited to dig in!
If jealousy is one of the seven deadly sins, I’m in big trouble. LOL. It looks like an amazing collection. Congratulations on closing the deal.
Thanks Scott! lol
First-time watcher of one of your videos . Awesome haul and loved how you told the story! New subscriber.
Awesome! Thank you! Welcome to the Prime Time family! Be sure to follow me on WhatNot at Primetimetreasure
Wow Dom!!! 🤩 Even Jake was liking this! Awesome score/haul! 💕
LOL awesome. Thanks so much. Daisy says hi
Holy cow!! Quite the haul. Wishing you much success.
Thanks Kathy!
Great haul! I see tons of fun whatnot auctions for you in the future!
Thank you!
Being a Doctor Who fan as well, when I see "It's all mine! I can't help but think about when The Master almost held the Universe at ransom in Logopolis. I want to get a deal like this too. If I find one, I'll even add the Anthony Ainley evil laugh!
He had the best master laugh. Lol. And logopis is one of my favorite episodes. To this day, I still tear up at the regeneration seen at the end. But The master’s laugh during that scene is completely epic.
Congratulations on such a great find! And Hello cute little Daisy!
Thank you!
What an amazing haul! I’m super jealous as this is a dream of mine to score something like this. I can’t wait to see you go through some of these boxes. It will probably you take you a few years to clear most out but you’re ROI will be huge. Great stuff!
Thank you! I probably won’t do too many videos going through the boxes because most people who watch my channel are not interested in comics. But if you’re interested what’s inside them, be sure to follow me on Whatnot because I am going to be selling them there each week. Thank you!
@@PrimeTimeTreasureHunter I tried WhatNot and it's not my bag
@@StoicMadman I mean to buy or watch to see the issues
Awe! My sweetheart Daisy with the squishy hair face. 😂💕💕
Lol she says hi Dani 😀
That is an awesome collection. Very cool that it worked out for you to purchase it. Great video, glad I found your channel. New subscriber here!
Welcome to the Prime Time family, Caleb!
Loved this video! Been a collector for most of my life! So know all the books you showed. Love Groo! He is under appreciated. Such a deal you got, WOW! Glad for you! One side note. (Not saying this is true). I was in sales for most of my adult life. One thing they teach you is to “always” have the wife and husband in the same room when selling so they don’t use the excuse “I need to check with my wife(husband)”. Heck I’ve used it for years! Great excuse! Lol
Anyhow, fantastic buy! Happy selling!
Smart negotiation tool!
Lol yeah I know but in this case it just was not practically possible. She usually was not around and most of the negotiation was over text
Holy Cow, Dominic! Haven't had a chance to watch it yet. I'll watch it in a few minutes now. That's a fantastic purchase. Looking forward to all the detau=ils. Congrats again.
Hope you liked it! Thanks Dave!
Thank you for sharing! It is lots of fun to watch.
Thanks Pete!
I'm 55 years old, just a regular comic book fan and collector for 40 years. You seem to be a cool guy but you're exactly the reason why I don't deal with "treasure flippers" and "career dealers"... Always looking for a KILLER deal because a great deal is not good enough. You're right, some of us would have taken at his original offer, case closed.
That’s your choice if you want to pay 15K when you could have paid 8.5k. However, unlike you, I run a business and my job is to get the inventory for the lowest reasonable price especially considering the time and additional expenses involved in processing a lot of this size. I’m not buying this as a collector.
@@PrimeTimeTreasureHunter All I saw was low grade filler. Every collector is prizes different things and what you purchased is a mass of undistinguished books from someone who didn’t prize condition. Most serious collectors would have taken a hard pass on this super lot.
@@danielnicola1602 Sorry but you do not know what you’re talking about. I shared some of the keys in the comments and told people that if you want to see more of the collection then come to my WhatNot shows and some is on my ebay such as Swamp Thing 37. If you check out those platforms or know anything about my decades of experience in comics, you would know this is not modern fill. A tiny sliver of these books just sold for $1500 on WhatNot recently. I’ve already made more than half of my money back after selling about 400-500 of these comics. Only 45,500 left. So there ya go.
@@PrimeTimeTreasureHunter it was an awesome deal and find man and great video dont let these morons tell u otherwise.
@@BowmansWorld lol thanks. Oh I know it. I found 1st Harley Quinn, 1st invincibles, (both 1st print and nm), 1st carnage and so much more
I went back to catch up on what I missed in the beginning like the garage clean up. Wow, you’re going to do soooo well on whatnot with all this inventory WHOOP WHOOP!! 💰💵💰💵🤑🤑
Thank you! I can’t wait!!!
A totally awesomeness of a video Brother. I had to watch it again. Thanks for sharing Your passion and adventures from Toronto Ontario Canada 😎👍♥️🇺🇸🇨🇦♥️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️💯💯💯💯💯✨️
Thanks man! This was and will always be one of my favorites as well
He should have shopped around. $15,000 is more than fair for this size of a collection. I feel bad to see someone let go of this many books. My family better not get undercut for my collection when I'm gone. I'm marking some of the more valuable books right now with current prices and grades. No youtuber is gonna get a steal on my collection.
The reality is that once most collectors pass away, the relatives do not want to deal with a massive collection because of the space it takes up and lack of or little knowledge about the items. So chances are, no matter what you write or say, once you are gone someone will get a great deal on your books. This is why I always tell collectors that if you want to maximize the value of your collection, sell it when you are alive. Don’t burden your relatives with it. He did shop the collection to a local comic shop where he bought many of them from but the shop did not want them. I’m not sure if he tried to shop it elsewhere. Keep in mind that most ppl cannot buy a collection of this size so options are limited. I also pay in full immediately. Not even Mile high comics does that. That translates to a lower price. And just for reference, while I share some of my business on TH-cam, I have been collecting and selling comics for many decades.
@@PrimeTimeTreasureHunter totally agree with you.
Great vid & walk-through of the deal, Dom. Keep up the fun content!
THUMBS UP from us here at The Card Shop in Bastrop, Louisiana!
Thank you so much!!
The 38,000 comic book haul I mentiioned above was taken back to Bastrop La...small world..no longer there...
Such an amazing find !!!! I think the deal worked because you were not attached to it happening . Thanks for sharing !
Good point! Thank you!
Oh Yeah! What a great buy. So excited for you.
Thank you!
As I always say:
Long boxes are a young man’s game. 🙂
lol
Awesome! Pickup on the comic collection! Looking forward to seeing your comics ❤❤❤
Thanks!! Check me out on WhatNot at primetimetreasure. I’m selling many there and in my eBay store
DC i couldn't pick a better person to get an incredible haul like this. That shogun warrior is absolutely amazing! I sold a few loose ones between $125 and $180 each a few summers ago
Yeah I am so pumped. Will list it by this weekend! Just waiting on a box lol
Coming from the perspective of a professional sales man, trying to negotiate without the primary person/(the secret seller) in the negotiation can be Nutso! Good on you for completing the buy.
Thanks Steve. It was a weird situation!
Thanks for sharing Dom! That's a LOT of comic books!
Thanks Chris!
Been waiting for this!!
Yay!
Just found your channel today. Really like and enjoy how you talk about how you acquired the collection and the story of the person you bought from.
Thank you! Please be sure to subscribe
Absolutely awesome Dom!! I'm so pumped up watching that! Makes me wanna quit my job and do that full time! Lol maybe in another life!
Thanks! Me too!!! lol
@@PrimeTimeTreasureHunter 🤟😎
Exciting haul! The 80s and 90s were my Comic Book Jam!!!
So much of that in there!
Congratulations! Looks like great buy. I'm excited to see how you do on it.
Comics are something that I have a tiny bit of experience with as I collected a bit many years ago (The Amazing Spider-Man primarily) however I have very limited experience with them since I became a full time reseller.
That being said I have bought and sold some fairly large record collections lately (although nothing nearing 50,000 pieces) and it seems like you handled this buy in the smartest way possible. It's very tough to resist the temptation to rush these transactions, esspecially when it's a type of item that you have personal interest in! Good on you for taking your time.
And who knows! You just might find something crazy hidden in one of those boxes. My last 78rpm collection I bought (only about 350 records), I paid $60 for and although the clean out company selling them informed me that there were only classical records included, there ended up being 10-15 pre-war blues Shellac as well. One of which I sold at auction for $5800! You just never know!
Will be looking forward to updates as you progress with this buy. Thanks for another great video :)
Doing awesome. Making about $1100-$1200 per 100 comics sold on my whatnot streams. That doesn’t include the keys which I’ve updated elsewhere in the comments
That’s so awesome Dom! I’m so happy for you!!!
Thank you!
19:25 🤣 the guy selling you the comics must've been in car sales.
Having to go see his boss for numbers.
On the plus side, the seller threw in his Man Card as part of the deal.
@@reprintranch Seriously, his wife has the final say so on the price of HIS OWN comics, lol.
yeah I'm sure he makes the decision on the price of any items she sells right 🤣🙄
Lol 🚗
@@doggpound9319 I did find that mind boggling lol
Great Vid Dom! Obviously jealous. I'm going to be sourcing more comic books and ephemera this season and not touch them till winter. I fell short last April and ran out of inventory. You won't have that problem I see, lol.
Thanks! Yeah, I’m set for awhile Randy lol
Greater video about an awesome collection. Congratulations!!!
Congratulations! Looks like an amazing collection.
Thanks Sylvia!
Awesome content! Not gonna lie your intro is awesome
Lol thank you!
C'mon, you could of fit that in a minivan 😂 sweet haul! Big Enik boom!👽
Lol
Greatness video Brother! Thanks for saying how much you paid for the collection, tips and tricks to obtain it and your overall commentary!!!
Thanks so much!!!
S8,500 for 50,000 comics is a great deal! Great key issues in those boxes and a lost of older classic books. I wouldn't have that much room for all these books but great haul! As a comic book collector and a fan I wouldn't know where to start reading or which box to start with. You said that you're auctioning a lot of them off but I'm sure you're keeping a lot for yourself in your own collection too! Great video have a good night and your puppy daisy is cute!
Thanks Tim! I appreciate it! Be sure to subscribe and follow me on whatnot if you want to see more of this collection.
You look so satisfied when you opened that truck. 🤣
😍 silver surfer. I don't much about comics but what few i have seen silver surfer definately stuck out to me.
😂😂😂 omg the comics talk to you. 🤦♀️🤣
Lol only certain ones talk to me. So happy to have this collection
@@PrimeTimeTreasureHunter i bet! I'm happy for you. This is exciting. My cats lays the same as daisy on out sofa. 😂 daisy is so cute 😍🥰
Some comic books are giving a higher returnto on investment than stocks ! My Dad hounded me about my funnybooks. There's a couple local stores in the Seattle ,WA, area and getting older, I am liquidating mine which goes back about 35 to 40 years. First I have find my storage lock key and take pictures with my phone to show my perspective buyers what I have and their condition. It was fun collecting,but now I am in my 60's and have to purge my toys. Thanks for posting this video !! :-)
Thank you for sharing it with us
*_.....I would have paid $15,000 right away for this amazing collection._*
*_My eyes are still wide from your offer of only $5,500...._*
Lol right but keep in mind that the $5,500 was not an actual offer but just me telling him that’s where I’d like to be but realize we can’t. What that does though psychologically is it provides a much better opening for negotiation.
Thank god for the Wife!
@@jparker71 lol
First time visitor and now subscriber, from India. :)
Great video man. As a comic collector these are always intriguing to see. Hey just letting you know collection is spelled incorrectly in the title,
Thanks! Fixed
This dude could have just pulled all his keys, got them graded, and sold them for much more then 8500, I'm sure. Then set up a firepit and burned the junk.
Grats on the great deal!
Thanks lol
I Love Comic Books. Grew up on them. Can't wait to get some for my grandson's.
They are so cool
Oh man! I had that same Shogun Warrior when I was a kid. I've been looking for them on ebay but they sell for $600 or more and not even complete! Great find and great deal.
Thanks! Can’t wait to list it!
I will say that's a heck of a deal really. 50k comics @ $8500 is only .17cents a book. That's a gold mine in today's market. Well done!!
That's what I aim for (10 to 20 cents a book). Thanks!
Or that’s reality when it comes down to real sells
@@superbn0va nope, lol. I am making $1000-$1200 so far per 100 comics selling them on whatnot and just sold a secret wars set for $300 to name just a few examples.
I want a pajama top of Christina Applegate that says “I slept with...” 😂 that’s probably too much. Lol. Sorry.
😂😂😂
Nicely done, Dominick. Hey I know abiut the last thing you need is suggestions about more things to do, but if you ever feel so inclinc]ded you might want to do a video or two about your method of inventorying and how you handle insurance on your inventory. A lot of resellers I now say simplistic things like "Oh my agent said my homeowner's insurance will cover any losses" _. But that just isn't so in several ways. First, you would only recover for what you could show that you had possession of ... you can't say "I had $10,000 worth of collectible comics stolen". Secon, the amount of inventory you own would far exceed the amount any homeowner's policy I am aware of is going to pay. A lot of resellers seem to walk on very thin ice in this regard. Anyway, best of luck with the reselling, I think you are going to do very, very well.
you know how many times ive heard the "my wife...." excuse thrown around to my father in the last 3 years lol
Lol I know, but what can ya do ya know
I am overloaded with inventory from bulk purchases of collections over the years and ebay too slow. I would love to get rid of it in chunks like on whatnot auctions. (ie carded figures, 20 long boxes comics, character shirts, diecast). Do you have tutorials on getting started such as equipment needed, etc? Thanks

While I was at a sale yesterday I Sent You a Picture of (a Measly) 4 comic books and i asked if they were worth grabbing. You replied "Id Pick 'em Up" ...
......Well DAMN I Guess You Weren't kidding! hahah Congrats on the haul.
LOL. I keep it real
Great Video!
Thanks!
Totally awesomeness. Congratulations!!😀👍♥️🇺🇸🎉🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉💯💯💯💯
Thanks Mac!
I took me 4 months to list 400 raw comics. Bagging and boarding, taking photos, and buying the correct shipping boxes with blue painters tape to prevent the comics from sliding around while shipping. The lot you picked up would take you 2 years of solid 50 a day listing to get through. Amazing massive collection.
Not it WhatNot it doesn’t. Just sold 100 comics on there last night for $1200. Check it out some time. 😀 thanks!
Groo is my favorite book! Sergio Aragonés is a living legend.
I have a somewhat similar size collection I'm debating on selling en masse or doing the whatnot thing. Starting out from Bronze age to present. What state are you in?
Man looks all cluttered in that garage.. I might be willing to take all those off your hands lol... Awesome video really glad you picked it up. Whatnot here we come...
Thanks for the consult!!!
@@PrimeTimeTreasureHunter when in doubt buy it all... At least that's what the voices in my head say
@@mr.buysalot Lol. Now I know how you got your nickname
Groo was my favorite to read when i was a kid too.
Cheese 🧀 dip!
The old “let me check with my manager” trick!
one thing i love about the comic NFTs on veve is no U-Haul, no storage unit monthly costs, no humidity issues, etc
No humidity issues here because I have a great dehumidifier system in the garage. But you got me on the Uhaul. I have some comic nfts too
@@PrimeTimeTreasureHunter haha i love easy storage 😂
@@JayCo- . LoL then you have NFT… haha.
What a tresure, i hope someday my comicbook collection reached that size
coLLection 🤓 terrific episode ❤️
Nice haul, a little bit disappointed you didnt show on the video the keys u got.
Congratulations on your purchase, you look so happy. Good luck and hoping you make some money 💰. Please forgive me with this comment, why is ones wife involved in ones personal collection. Just the thought of saying let me check with my wife, I’m sorry I cant comprehend that. Believe you me, I respect my wife and we each have our place.
I thought the same thing! Thanks!
Wow that is an amazing haul!!! I’m a bit jealous but to be honest all I see is a huge CGC bill haha…
LOL. I don't usually send stuff into CGC. Thank goodness!
If you stack long boxes more than 3 boxes high you could be damaging the books at the bottom fyi. Also the first printing of the new mutants has only the us price on the cover, all later printings also had the Canadian price. Great video.
Thanks. Depends on the strength of the boxes. Yes, I've sold many 1st printing New Mutant 98s and 87s.
Oh my days! Literally the dream one day, amazing enjoy 💯💯💯
I’m so happy!
Congrats!
Thanks!
Sweet baby jeebus. Nice find. Is it weird I was cringing like crazy as you yanked the Groo's out and saw all the unboarded ones sitting in there all bent and curved...I thought I was going to throw up...lol. Hope you are able to flip 'em fast.
Lol thanks. No probs. Those will straighten up real fast
that price is crazy. that guy would have had more money selling the keys themselves and having people come to his garage and sell the books for 1-5 bucks a piece. but congrats to you.
Thanks! It's been awesome!
The benefit of not having to deal with garage sales, flea markets, eBay shipping, fees and scammers, etc can be worth the difference.
The old adage of one in the hand worth two in the bush applies here.
Pete over at Craigslist Hunter just recently had one of those Shogun Warriors come through. Real recently too.
Yep! Just about ready to list mine!
So happy for you
Imagine the silver age gems that are in that collection. That's probably 1 comic in that haul that will pay him back 2 times over.
Lots! I've been selling them on WhatNot. Come check me out there at primetimetreasure.
Oh I am already
Low-ball buyers are the perfect reason for collectors to have a viable exit strategy. Don't leave your wife and / or kids to deal with sharks who want to rip them off in order to enrich themselves. Your family deserves that money, not dudes like this.
I just picked up a collection from a guy I knows wife he had passed away a year ago she knew I collected and sold me the entire collection about 15k books TONS of keys alot of gold/silver age for 2k
Nice!
Hello there. Sounds like you got a great deal for all those comics. Not sure if you plan on keeping them in your garage but if you are I might reconsider due to moisture. It would be a shame if they got ruined.
Thanks. I have continuous dehumidifiers running in there which eliminates any moisture problems.
“I wish I had the one with the shark on it” 😂😂😂
😂😂😂 so true too! I’m just a big kid lol
@@PrimeTimeTreasureHunter just struck me as funny in general but even more so since my sister would have said the exact same thing 🤣 she used to work an exhibit in the stl zoo with sting rays and sharks and she loves them so much!
The fact a whole year a year went by and no takers worked in your favor. I am sure other potential buyers were put off that the owner of the collection was unable to negotiate without consulting his wife first. I have to therefore question why someone else hasn’t purchased this collection unless they were low ballong the owner to the point it wasn’t worth selling. Good for you to follow up on him and working out a sweet deal where both parties are content. I am hearing good things concerning What Not so good luck! I am looking forward to seeing future videos updating on profits from selling those comics.
Thanks. Here is the update: averaging $1100-$1200 per 100 comics sold in the whatnot auctions. That does not count the keys which I mention elsewhere in the comments. I don’t think he shopped it anywhere in that one year.
Wow congrats. Can’t believe no one else bought it with in that year
Me too! But he just never shopped it to anyone else.
New to your channel. Looking for Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic, other Star Wars books. Awesome collection you bought. Whatnot the only place to buy books from you. I am a Xmen and Spiderman too

Sad to see a collector who spent that many years collecting get robbed but hey it’s the name of the game
LOL, he wasn't "robbed". That was the price he and his wife counter offered. they were very happy with the payment
Lol if they didn’t get fmv then they got robbed but it’s the name of the game good luck with your profit
@@jarrettanderson8503 thanks but who defines fmv in a bulk deal of this size? Sometimes, ppl just want to get rid the bulk to make space. If they are happy with the price they stated, which was a pretty high raw dollar value, I don’t consider that robbed but we all have our different perspectives
Indeed. My wife would happily take Pennies on the dollar to free up our entire storage room in basement.
@@dansokulski4039 Thanks for validating my point.
Are you keeping anything for the PC?
Maybe a few things but nothing yet. So much to go through.
WOW! Just WOW! Should be fine with the water situation, however wood absorbs water. I used to have a basement issue and I purchased several plastic dunnage racks. well worth the money and I got them cheap off of Craigslist. Dude had parents who owned several McDonald's
Get your army cot out, I'm ready to camp out in your basement!
Lol
Hey Dude, first time watching your stuff...u must be over the moon closing a longtime deal like that. You seem to know your stuff about storing as well as closing, but I would be remiss as a fellow vintage comic book collector if I didn't ask if you know about short and long term storage situations in a garage type setting. Just letting you and anyone else in a similar deal that comic books (even in bags, boarded and in acid free comic book boxes) can turn from white pages to yellow or even brittle brown in just a matter of years due to paint fumes, carbon dioxide from your car and just about anything you would find in a typical garage. A tarp may help but I don't know for sure but it's what I would do. Also you may want to lighten the load on some of the boxes by a handful so they're not so tight together if you're going for longer storage times. Just some observations I got from your video. Good on you for sticking to the chase and the score. I have 22000 of my own personal collection from childhood (just over fifty years of non stop collecting and absolutely loving them). Good luck on whatever future paths these books take. (Oh, this my wife's account in case you're wondering how she could be fifty years into comic collecting..Ha Ha)! She IS a TROOPER though!!!!!
100% yes! All very good points but we’ve got it well managed. Sounds like you have an amazing collection. Thanks and be sure to subscribe
Ima need that asm 361 😁
Even for 20k this was a steal nice
Thanks!
You're going to give Chuck at Mile High a run for his money.

@@PrimeTimeTreasureHunter I fell like it will happen.
Oh, damn! Groo!

Just curious what do you estimate the resale value of the whole collection?
at least $50,000
I want that Pantera Book that was in the box with the new mutants 5th printing..Can I buy it from you?
It's yours
$8,500. AWESOME! That man collected comics (around 50 thousand comics, a conservative estimate, you said?) for 30 years and his collection would probably retail or auction for so much more than $8,500. I imagine you will make a ton of money on those comics. He received .17 cents a comic. If you had just given him $15,000, what he originally asked, you would have only paid him .30 cents a comic. I see why you wanted the Uhaul with the Shark on it. You are now a true businessman.
Lol thanks James. This deal was larger but essentially no different from what I’ve been telling ppl what I do for years. Aim to pay between 10 to 20 cents a comic.
