Ollie’s does it again!
A few days ago my wife and I went shopping at Ollie’s Bargain Outlet. We were there to take advantage of a 15% Off Discount Coupon Ollie’s mailed us.
As my wife traversed the store I contented myself looking at the books-specifically the comic book and graphic novel section.
I spotted several 10 DC Comics for $6.99 packets. There looked to be some real gems enclosed.
Nether one of us wound up buying anything but a couple days later I visited my local used bookstore where I had some credit. I cashed it out and took some of the money and bought one of the packs of comic books at Ollie's.
With my discount and counting tax I only paid a little over $6!
Boy, am I glad I did! You will not believe what I got!
Without going into detail on each title I’ll just provide a list:
- Action Comics #1000 80-Page Giant-$7.99 Retail
- Superman Leviathan Rising #1-$9.99 Retail
- Batman Detective Comics #1000 Landmark Issue-$9.99 Retail
- The Joker 80th Anniversary 100 Page Super Spectacular (Jim Lee Variant cover) $9.99 Retail
- Wonder Woman Diana Princes As Wonder Woman 60s #750 (J. Scott Campbell Variant cover)-$9.99 Retail
- Nightwing #75 Extra-Sized Anniversary Issue!-$5.99 Retail
- 3 DC Dollar Comics:
- Batman #13 Death Of The Family
- Watchmen #1
- Batman Hush #608
- DCeased Unkillables #3-$4.99 Retail
The total original retail cost of the ten issues is: $61.93. Not bad for just over $6!
It’s like I tell both veteran and newbie comic book collectors, “If you wait long enough eventually ‘hot’ comic books come down in price.”
With a little pertinence you can pick old comic books at yard sales and garage sales (or in this case a discount store) for a fraction of the cost of what it being asked online or in stores.
