What did you win on eBay this week?

[Typo Lad]

I love that I'm now associated with haggling...

[Nate C.]

well, you know, in a "when ebay goes bad" kinda way.

[Typo Lad]

well, you know, in a "when ebay goes bad" kinda way.

Oh joy.

You know, that sounds like a Fox TV show.

[Slam_Bradley]

A number of tpb's.

Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow

Avengers: Celestial Madonna

Hulk: Ground Zero

Desparadoes: Quiet of the Grave.

[Slam_Bradley]

[Nate C.]

Complete Peanuts, Vol. 1. $10 total with shipping.

:eek:

Oh, and the 122 worked out. Down to 9 for sure.

[Slam_Bradley]

:eek:

Good to hear about the 122.


I'm a cheapskate. I refuse to pay more than $5 for trades and $10 for hardcovers. The exception are Marvel's Essentials which are such a swell deal that I go up to $10 on them. I never lack for stuff to read. I have a backlog of probably 40 trades on my reading pile right now.

I'm at a crossroads myself. With only 9 books to go, I'd be a fool not to finish Amazing, because of the value of a full collection versus an incomplete one. The only other run I'm close to completion is Avengers, so there's an outside chance I may finish that one too, but apart from that, I see myself outgrowing "collecting".

I started out as a reader, fell into collecting, got good at it, enjoyed the hunt, no longer do. Really am beginning to question the future of the market, and don't want to continue to sink large amounts of cash into such a project.

I could very well see myself in four years, and about fifteen long boxes lighter, where you are now.

Feel free to mosey on over to the trading thread whenever you're looking to unload some of those bad boys.

[west3man]

There's no "What'd you get at the flea market this week" thread, so...

I picked up a couple of wireless "g" routers for $25, yesterday. Gonna try and hook'em up now.

[west3man]

Oh yeah. I forgot to mention that I stumbled across someone at the flea market who was selling comics for pretty cheap.

I scooped up the original issues of Kingdom Come (I've never owned the issues, themselves), four issues of the All-Access or whatever Marvel/DC follow-up to the "vs." series, and some Birds of Prey stuff for $1 each. Nice one.

[Loren]

I won the recent Deadshot mini for $4.85.

And since west mentioned the flea market, last week I got a bunch of random issues to fill holes, but most significantly, I got 20 issues of 'Groo the Wanderer' for $4.

[BlairH]

The Sega Genesis game "Zero Wing". Yes, the very same one that started this:

http://www.planettribes.com/allyourbase/AYB2.swf

[Slam_Bradley]

Essential Tomb of Dracula, vol. 3. I now have all four volumes.

[Nate C.]

I am down to eight Amazings. (got a nice 21.)

I fell off the bandwagon by buying a Spider-Man #1 Chromium CGC 9.8. (ouch)

Oh well. It was pretty. I was weak.

After Amazings, Marvel Team-Up.
After Marvel Team-Up, freebies, one shots, limited series, rare appearances. (That should keep me busy for a good decade or two.)

[Jessie]

Grabbed a Panasonic ES8152NC electric shaver for about $60, shipped.

[west3man]

$50+tax worth of tpb's for about $32, baby!

Maaan, if they make hardcovers out of ALL of these things, my pockets are gonna be a sad, sorry, empty sight.

[west3man]

http://i11.ebayimg.com/04/i/04/cb/ef/6c_1_b.JPG

A docking station.

Extra ports, wireless mouse, wireless keyboard.
I received it, this afternoon and IMMEDIATELY took it into the conference room for testing.

Lookin' goooood. :) Apparently that price WASN'T too good to be true.

[Punisher]

I won a Nine Inch Nails poster.

[Deathstroke]

I won a DVD for the 1973 version of Tom Sawyer starring Jodie Foster.

[west3man]

A dual-layer dvd burner for my laptop.

[west3man]

The dvd burner arrived and so did something I forgot to mention.

Alex Ross's "MYTHOLOGY" hardcover. The jacket's a bit wrinkled but I can live with that - especially for the price tag.

I almost got the collection of Ross/Dini works, in hardcover format, but I really didn't dig those all that much individually. It occurred to me that I might be better off skipping a collected edition.

Looks like I made the right choice. Thanks to ragnarok_2012 and others who helped me make that choice.

[Ed Cunard]

TALES FROM THE CRYPT 1979 HARD BACK REPRINT. Finally. Held on to the $49 price until about five minutes before it ended, and then it jumped to $110.

But now my wife's EC horror library collection is complete, which means I can start gathering the romance, war and Shock Suspenstories collections for myself.

[pauwoo]

The Goliath mini bust from bowen will go nicely with my Giant-man mini

[Deathstroke]

The Jena Malone film Confessions of an American Girl on DVD.

[Daniel Hopkins]

The 1966 comic Batman vs Penguin. AU$6.00.

[VCreed32]

An adapter to use Playstation controllers with your pc and 2 controllers.

[Slam_Bradley]

Hardcover copies of One More For the Road, Dinosaur Tales and From the Dust Returned all by Ray Bradbury.

Essential Iron Fist.

[Flight]

5 issues of old Uncanny X-Men.
One of them being the amazing #150

I'm currently looking for Blade Runner on R2 and Vandel Hearts for the PSone.

[BoosterBronze]

An AlphaSmart 3000 wordprocessor. this is a $300 piece of equipment, and I got it for $65. Primarily they exist for classroom use, and are bought in bulk by schools. Since I recieved it witout a box, manual, or cords, I come to the conclusion that I likely bought stolen goods.
And I'm ok with that.
Does that make me a bad person?

Is that the Palm OS device they make, or is that only the Dana?

[K'Nort]

Three DC Archive Editions. Cover price $50 apiece. $59 total.

[Deathstroke]

I won a Japanese photo book for the Jodie Foster movie Stealing Home.

[Deathstroke]

I won 3 issues of Betty's Diary last week.

[Wesley Dodds]

I got parts one and two of Future Imperfect very cheaply -- and, damn, the condition of the two books is beautiful. Like new. Also, the issue of Action comics where Luthor adopted his green battlesuit, and the two subsequent issues where the new Braniac attacked earth with an army of aliens (inspiration for Panic in the Sky).

Still waiting on my 1/100 Freedom Gundam though.

[west3man]

A bulb and a projector. If I like both (separate auctions), I'll be ordering another bulb.

[GUYANATHUGG]

MVP Baseball for my PSP, being that the game isn't sold here in the UK I got a good deal on it for only £20.00.

[west3man]

Grr. Apparently my projector bulb was delivered (or attempted) today, but I was at work. I asked the post office to hold it for me, which means the earliest I can pick it up would be 7:30am, tomorrow.

Man, that's gonna be a looong 17hrs.

[west3man]

The new (to me) projector arrived. Now I'm *really* dying for that lamp to arrive (lss: the last one didn't work out).

[Slam_Bradley]

Will Eisner's graphic novel Family Matter. And the collection of Eisner's Shop Talk columns.

[CurryStick]

Here's what i PUT on eBay this week. As for purchases, its been slow. Check them out guys. Lots of recent goods.

http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQfgtpZ1QQfrppZ25QQsassZsuccubuskitty

[Patman]

I bought the original art for Page 1 of Issue 1 of Stormwatch, a Battalion splash page by Scott Clark.

[west3man]

I purchased a projector on Friday. For some odd reason, it didn't come with a remote control. I jumped on eBay and only one was for-sale. I jumped on it.

This was either Friday evening or Saturday, some time. It arrived Monday. California to Florida via U.S. Priority mail. What the FREAK?!

Somebody's getting some AWESOME feedback - if the danged thing works.

[MrT]

I got outbid twice trying to bid on original artwork. This last minute bidding crap is getting old.
You need to keep up with the auction, you have to be there in the last few minutes just to make sure no one steals it.

[Slam_Bradley]

The Cerebus High Society phone book.

[thik_3rd]

some lucky joe just bought my xbox 360 i was selling on there.

[Tommy]

I just got Spidey Super Stories 39. The one with Thanos in the helicopter.

[kingCrazy]

Has anyone tried using any of the free eBay sniper tools that automatic bids a few seconds before an auction ends? Every time someone jumps in 10 sec before the auction ends. :(

[Expletive Deleted]

Fifty-odd issues of THOR between 226 and 320 and a run of LEGION OF SUPERHEROES from 259 to 313 (with a bunch of duplicates).

Also, the fourth BEANWORLD trade. Now if I could only find the third . . .

[west3man]

I'm jealous of whomever said they got the entire New Warriors run (volumes 1 and 2, even) for a "song."


Anyway, I ordered that "Lobo" series from the latest Oddball Comics column.

[Tommy]

I just won a full run of Avengers vol. 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ullar]

last Saturday I used the buy-it-now option and got the Justice League Animated Attack Armor SUperman Vs. Battle Armor Lex Luthor two pack for $37.79 including shiping. I didn't even want the superman and it was the only one on the net and it is shiping from the philipines!

[Naldo]

I got Conan Issues #0 - 25! Hope it gets delivered this coming week!

[west3man]

A buddy just told me the cover was $75 and asked what I paid for mine. I thought the cover was $50.

I paid $15 plus shipping. Makes me wanna go read it some more.

[west3man]

The surprisingly hard-to-find EMERALD KNIGHTS trade paperback and a (very necessary) new anodized aluminum hard case for my Treo 650 mobile phone.

[Harlock]

Last week I won X-Men Vol.2 1-183.

Also some Ms. Marvel.

[Typo Lad]

I got two parts that I need to fix my laptop.

Suzannah got a sexy skirt.

[Jared_Humpherys]

I got Jedi Apprentice book 3! *explodes with joy*

[Deathstroke]

I picked up a couple of Boston Celtics team pins and 2 Jodie Foster DVDs for me and grabbed a couple of Neil Diamond CDs to expand my mom's collection.

[west3man]

I'd been hoping to replace the Hawkman issues I sold, with tpb's.

They were separate auctions, but it really worked out pretty well, in the end. That's 1, 2, and 3. And I'm seriously considering getting #4, locally.

Getting rid of the issues, first, can be a bit scary, but the only one I really miss is the one with Hawkwoman. MAN, I wish they hadn't killed her (although that WAS some confusing shit).

Her encounter with Hawkgirl just felt like an instant classic moment.

[Dan Apodaca]

I got two tickets to see Built to Spill at the Troubadour.

I got this sweet "Magneto Was Right" t-shirt:

http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a121/danapodaca/Magnetowasright.jpg

And I'm expecting a Built to Spill 45 single in the mail. Clear, too.

I kinda dig that shirt.

Too bad dem shits never look good on me.

[borateen]

I picked up Ultimate Spider-Man oversized HC volumes 1-5 for $56. It turns out that the seller was my LCS, so I can pick them up at the store, hence no shipping...but I am charged tax, so it end up about even. I've already got the 1st 3 volumes, but I thought this was too good of a deal to pass up (less than 1/2 cover price), and I've already got a trade in the works for those volumes, so yay me!

[Deathstroke]

I picked up a Candleshoe movie invitation card. Another addition to my Jodie Foster collection!

[Dan Apodaca]

I kinda dig that shirt.

Too bad dem shits never look good on me.

Amazingly enough, it fits me pretty perfectly. The image is centered well, and everything. I love it.

[west3man]

I must now hate you.

[GreenHornet]

I won 10 Superman auto stickers and a nice Superman belt buckle w/ belt

[west3man]

I ordered and received the first three Hawkman tpb's (after having sold the issues). I'll either pick up the 4th one this evening or find someplace to order it online.

I'm a sucker for Rags on Hawkman and Eaglesham on... just about anything, really.

[Flawless P]

I got a Limited Edition Heroclix figure oh Harley Quinn that instead says Dr. Harleen Qunizel on it.

And I got A Unique Catwoman for Heroclix all in the same night.

[Sophisticated_Gamer]

[Trusty Mutsi]

I could use some advice on these two auctions:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=017&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=270060405820&rd=1&rd=1

I've been wanting to get all of these, and these lots seem PERFECT for me.

What do think I should bid for each, TOPS? I've heard ebay is a great place for really nice TPB deals.

Thanks in advance:)
