CAGiversary!

Hey, I am looking for comics. Anybody know where I can get some other than ebay? Thanks for the help. I am mostly looking for Marvel Comics. Also does any CAG member have any that they are going to get rid of? I am looking for Sgt. Furys Howling Commandos, if you have them. I also am looking for some DeathloK, a short series of comics called the Thor Corps, any What if comics, any War Machine comics, any 2099 comics, Damage Control, another short series called The Crew, and anything that has the Taskmaster in it.
 
I've noticed alot of people here have comics that they are looking to get rid of. Since there aren't really any comicbook trading sites out there, I created my own. Please check out my Comic Book and Card Trading Forum that I am working on.

Come sign up and post your lists of comics you want to trade or sell. There is also a section to posts links to any ebay auctions you have.

Check it out. The more people we get, the better the site becomes!

I'm honestly still amazed people buy comic books. When you are young you can trick yourself into thinking comics are cool, start collecting them...you know...because they can go "up in value", but thats just a lie we all tell ourselves simply because collecting comics was a fun hobby to be in.

In the endmost people amass a huge collection, then eventually try to sell it, find no buyers at anywhere NEAR price guide prices, and are left feeling rejected.

Ummm... why are you amazed that people buy comic books then say that it is a fun hobby?

I'm always lookin to buy comics. If anyone wants to just shoot me a quick PM of their list for sale I will always take a look and respond..........................
 
I had to reconfigure my comic lists I'm selling soon, I just got done taking pictures of a lot of stuff though, so updates when i get that all sorted. They'll be hitting ebay with a ton of games and action figure stuff too.

Honestly, I buy comics to read em. No intention of selling.

Same here, but its time for a major purge for me. I have no false hopes about what I'll potentially get for the comics i'm about to sell. I'd just like to get something and make some room. I still kept the books I knew I was attached to though.
 
I intend on just blowing out my comics I have, save for a few colllected editions(trade paperbacks in other words) that I may wanna re-read someday and just hope to get $50-100 for what I've got.

I know I'm gonna lose big $$$ on them, but I just don't care anymore. I've taken the attitude of 'if it's sat and I haven't played/read/watched it, out it goes'. Hell, I still have a movie I picked up on Black Friday(Crank) that I haven't watched and is sitting new in shrinkwrap still.

Any games that I complete that I don't think I'll go back to also get traded or sold as long as I got them cheap and I'm at least close to breaking even on them.

I'm done 'collecting' things for the sake of having them, since I figure that whenever I die, all my shit will end up being donated and someone will trash what I took such great care of, so why don't I make a few bucks off it now.

Morbid thought, I know, but I know that the only person who was impressed by any of my collections of stuff was ME, since most everyone I know dumps their stuff once they finish with it.
 
Has anyone actually had any comic sales to Yukafls? I'm just wondering for the amount of bumping and pestering he seems to do to people with comics. Yet it doesn't appear that he actually buys anything.

I have traded with people, what do you care. If you call PMing you pestering, then you really do not want to trade your stuff.

I care because I've had other people message me asking if you do the same to them. I care because you're the one asking me to take pictures of stuff that you supposedly want to buy from me and I want to know if you're even reliable, which by one account so far, you aren't.

PMing me 2 or 3 times a day is pestering. I was just interested in knowing how many other people you've done it to so I could see if it was worth my time dealing with you.
 
I haven't pmed you in like weeks, if you don't want to trade with me just say so. I don't want you to take pics if you don't want to trade, and why take pics of individual ones if you won't break up the lots?

This will be the last time I address this as I don't really feel like getting into it with you.

I told you to not contact me, I'd contact you. That's why you haven't PM'd me. You asked me about the lots and wanted pics of around 500 books. Then when I told you no way in hell I'd do that, you asked about specific books pics, but you didn't address whether you were interested in the lots or not. And essentially thats the same thing that happened with someone else here.

Ultimately I guess my whole point is, you bump this thread every 2 or 3 hours. You send 2 or 3 pm's a day to people when you want something, then at least by one account, you don't buy anything after they go through all the trouble to get you the pics you requested. So I'm wondering if anyone has ever actually sold or even dealt with you when it comes to comics and this thread.

That's all. End of story. No more responses to you from me about the subject.

On a side note, I'll have ebay auctions up this weekend.
 
Ok I don't want this to turn into some huge thing, but I will get the comics from the people when I can. Right now I can't, So I will close this thread.
