Marvel Omnibus/Oversized Hardcover Discussion Part IV

[dingbat46]

Going to go out on a limb here......You like the X-men?

Reminds me of going nuts from the MHC 60% sale....oh how I wish I could take some of that back.

I get points instead of commission at my job. I buy Chapters/Indigo online gift cards. It all cost me $1700CAD (in gift cards... so, guilt free for me!!!). I never really read X-Men, except for New X-Men by Morrisson, and I love New Mutants. I have every Spider-Man book available, practically... so I thought I'd give the X-Men a try. I'd say I have quite a bit of stuff to last me a while. Needless to say, I'm psyched!!!

Good for you! While I'm sure cash is always king, getting points to be able to use at something you enjoy is always a good thing.
So did you get free shipping on all that?

[DrGregatron]

BS that my FA OHC still hasn't shipped from Amazon yet. It's been 'In Stock' for two days now.

That's what I'm saying. Hasn't even shipped and I had it pre-ordered from the first day it was listed on Amazon. Merrick, did you actually cancel your pre-order and then re-order it?

[dingbat46]

Yes, free shipping over all orders over $25. I tell ya, it's the best site there is. The prices are excellent.

[Omnibus]

That's what I'm saying. Hasn't even shipped and I had it pre-ordered from the first day it was listed on Amazon. Merrick, did you actually cancel your pre-order and then re-order it?

Yes, he canceled it last week and then reordered it when he noticed he had $50 credit. Odd eh? Last order in, first one out? I thought B&N only did that kind of stuff.

Postal guy is going to love you big time in the next few days.

Could you elaborate on this?

Yeah, thats what happened. When I cancelled it it didn't have any of my preorder credit applied to it.

[Omnibus]

Could you elaborate on this?

Meaning I wish I did not order as much as I did.

Got so caught up in the 60% sale that I ordered things that I would normally not.

[Awesome!]

What's the one thing you bought (and haven't sold for profit) that you look at now and just shake your head?

Part of me wishes I had flipped Punisher MAX Vol 4 instead of buying the other four HCs. That part of me goes quiet when I look at my shelf though.

[DrGregatron]

Merrick, your UXM Omnibus ought to fetch a decent price. They're averaging over $150 on ebay, and I see that some guy even paid $125 for one that the seller showed as having two partial pages ripped out! Just goes to show that being honest about a book's condition won't necessarily hurt its price.

[Squallid Snake]

I bought the onslaught reborn ohc for 20 bucks. I was so naive when I first got back into comics.

[Captain Planet]

What's the one thing you bought (and haven't sold for profit) that you look at now and just shake your head?

For me it was right after Civil War and I wanted to read more about Spider-Man post CW. I bought Back in Black Vol 2. Still haven't been able to sell it. Up until that point I was very discerning about what I bought and was horrified (exaggerating) that I wasted $15 on a comic I didn't like.

What's the one thing you bought (and haven't sold for profit) that you look at now and just shake your head?

Off the top of my head--Ghost Rider by Aaron omnibus & Atlantis Attacks omnibus. Both purchased because I had credit to burn and/or major sale. Didn't make it more than 25% through before I closed the book forever. Mind you, I've read Secret Wars II twice!

What else?
Daredevil--Fall From Grace
Spider-Man--Revenge of the Green Goblin
Spider-Man--Wild Blue Yonder
Spider-Man--Torment
Spider-Man--Trials and Tribulations
Spider-Man--One Small Break
Punisher War Journal--Jigsaw
Iron Man--Doomquest
Batman--Year Two
Kick-Ass
Wanted
Elektra--Scorpio Key
Cowboys vs Aliens--even at $1.49, this was a head-slapper!
Shadowland
Ghost World

And if that list didn't get anyone going, I also didn't care for any of the three League of Extraordinary Gentlemen books... sorry, I love Moore's DC Universe comp, From Hell, Watchmen, V for Vendetta, Swamp Thing, but this was one series that I sort of liked Vol 1 and went downhill from there. About the only good memory I have was his takedown of James Bond
