FCBD Sales

EtriganBlood

All Right guys.
My local comic store is having a 75% off back issue sale, and I want to raid the dollar bins...
What should I get/be looking for?

WetRats

Comics you like?

DoctorDoom

Dollar bins are a mixed back. Sometimes you can find 80's Uncanny X-Men... and sometimes you'll find 90's X-Force.

Like @Wetrats said, get what you like.

Greg

Or...you can get comics that we like.

DoctorDoom

One of us! One of us!

The crossovers 1-9

Last FCBD i got issues 1-4 and didn't hate them so that should be what you look for on FCBD every year

Things that you normally wouldn't buy at full price.

EtriganBlood

hmmm...yeah I was just wondering if their were any particularly good dollar bin series

Even though it kind of seems like what was already said, and slightly unhelpful, there are times at $0.50-$1 sales that I buy a bunch of stuff... almost always it just ends up being more stuff. Occasionally I'll pick up a full miniseries run that isn't in trade form or fill gaps in runs or one-shots. That or I will go for the super oddball or bizarre, I usually buy at least one completely unknown book based on a cover or something that draws me to it.

Posts like these depress me. My LCS has a huge back issue catalog (mostly recent stuff). I don't understand why they never have sales on that stock. They also seem to have the same trades and hardcovers that never move. They did start a discount bin, but there's never anything in there that's appealing.

I would set a cap on money you'll spend. Otherwise you'll end up getting more than you wanted. However, you'll end up getting more than you wanted!
