They are still there. You just gotta spend the time to find them. This is the second copy in 6 months I have found in a shop for cheap. There are more out there.
Look...look...look,, Thats all you gotta do.

stopped at a very small outside flea market today, hoping maybe someone had comics. First guy I saw did indeed have comics, they were in some pretty crappy bags, and most of the stuff was typical early 90's drek. Undettered, I looked through them all and found two gems, VF copies of Lady Death #1 and Evil Ernie #1 (both the original series) for $2 each.
No one else had comics, one guy had some beat to hell Mad Magazines, so I rooted through them to make sure there weren't any decent magazines in there. He wanted $2 each for beat to sh*t copies of Mad. I told him I was basically looking for comics. He told me the only comics he had on him were V (remember the TV show with the lizard faced aliens?). He said he had the first three issues and would sell them for $20. What a freakin' steal...

I saw an ad on Craig's List for $50.00. The picture showed a Solar Alpha Omega HC, Magnus 12, & Solar 10. Apparently this woman use to have a room mate from years ago that worked in a comic book store and he left this box behind. She was cleaning house and decided to sell it
What I actually got was:
Solar Alpha/Omega HC
Harbinger 1,3,4,5,6 with coupons
X-O 2,5
Magnus 5,6,7,12 (x2)
Eternal Warrior 1 gold embossed
Eternal Warrior 1 gold flat (x2)
Rai 1,4,5
Solar 9,10
Unity 1 gold (x3)
Unity 1 plat (x2)
Another 20 Unity and post unity books.
