What's a recent deal that you got unexpectedly?
Today I found by accident a 1:50 Wrath of the Eternal Warrior #3 for $6 and had to jump on it. This got me wondering what was a recent deal anyone got that was a pleasant surprise to them.

Re: What's a recent deal that you got unexpectedly?
I sold 3 long boxes of crap a few weekends ago. I mean real crap. I would feel bad using this stuff as packing material. First guy grabbed a handful of books, I take $20 and I'm happy. Next guy wants the lot. I'm willing to take $60, and he offers me $120. That was my best recent deal. $140 for 3 longs full of crap.

Re: What's a recent deal that you got unexpectedly?
Those are interesting because the print run was very low, but the Harbinger #7 Flamingo cover was not a ratio incentive... so most copies probably sold for cover price ($3.99).Last weekend I found a Harbinger 7 Flamingo Variant for cover.
Rico
Retailers had to match or exceed their orders of Harbinger #4 with their Harbinger #7 order, but that was the only requirement.
So, if a retailer ordered 5 copies of Harbinger #4, they could have ordered 5 (or 50) copies of Harbinger #7... and any or all of them could have been Flamingo covers.
Basically, retailers didn't understand it... so it didn't get ordered much, so only a few got printed.

Re: What's a recent deal that you got unexpectedly?
Not sure if this is a deal, but I was pretty happy about it I went to my LCS a few weeks ago to get my books and they had a free copy of the A+A Bootleg waiting for me. This is a book I've thought about trying to obtain, so I was happy to get/read it, and free too I have to say that my LCS here in MI is seriously amazing!

I recently won an ebayUK auction for Bloodshot Reborn #10 Lemire 1:100 line wide variant for £15 which is around 21 of your whacky American dollars and 697 of your even wackier Canadian dollars!

Re: What's a recent deal that you got unexpectedly?
That is sweet. It seems like quite a few people are still trying to find the Bootleg and I only heard you could get it from Rafer (which I did) but it does seem like your LCS is awesome.JonesyAZ wrote:Not sure if this is a deal, but I was pretty happy about it I went to my LCS a few weeks ago to get my books and they had a free copy of the A+A Bootleg waiting for me.

Re: What's a recent deal that you got unexpectedly?
I don't ever get great deals on Valiant but I get crazy-good luck finding pricey stuff for a $1 each at garage sales. I spent $40 last week on books that'll get me close to $500.

Re: What's a recent deal that you got unexpectedly?
There's a place by where I live in Aurora (used book store) that sells comics new, and occasionally will buy collections. They have V1 and VEI back issues, and I have purchased near full runs of newer books for over 50% off, realizing that some of the books are coveted 1:10 and 1:20 books. I recently scored 4 copies of the Ninjak 1:10 cover (Valiant Next) for $2 each, and the Lozzi Bloodshot #3 1:25 variant ($3).
I just went back last weekend and found a few more gems.
There's also an antique store across the way that had many V1 issues for a quarter, and I scored final issues of Solar and Magnus.
