How Do You Locate A Sold Out Comic Book At Cover Price?
Don’t you hate it when you miss out on the hot comic book of the year. It happens all the time. A major event or the death of a popular character sends demand for a specific issue of a comic book through the roof. Here are a few tips for locating that book without paying the ridiculous prices on eBay. Step 1 Get to know the other comic book shops in the area. Just because your shop doesn’t have a copy and the news sites are reporting it sold out doesn’t mean other shops don’t have it. Some shops are very good about ordering lots of copies so that there will be some copies on the shelf after the Wednesday of release. Other shops may do poor business or specialize in trading cards and memorabilia. Comic books sell much slower in shops that specialize in cards and not comics. Step 2 Go to the Internet. Online shops depend on constant business all week long, not just the Wednesday regulars. Some good sites to check out are: http://www.tfaw.com/ http://www.mycomicshop.com/home?bhcp=1 http:/
