Change Huge Comic Lot

Today my friend Change called with a mission. This was one of those crazy things that I seem to constantly get myself involved with, but as crazy missions are my preferred method of operation I agreed nearly immediately. Turns out he had found an auction, which will be our eBay Watch for the day, for 8,432 individual issues, in a total of 24 long storage boxes. This comes to a grand weight total of nearly 1,000 pounds...of comics...which I think is just awesome. When he brought this auction to my attention the bid was right around $100, with only hours to go. The catch was that, of course, the shipping for this material would be prohibitive to say the least, so I was being enlisted as a Transporter. This seemed like an awesome job, and my fee was to be a number of these long boxes; from the tantalizing pictures which included Transformers, GI Joe, Punisher, Robotech and Grendel comics, this was too good to pass up.

In theory, Change was going to restrict his bid to a very low amount, hoping to score this set with very little monetary risk involved. The auction has since ended, as you can see at $406.01 - so I suspect that Change in fact was not victorious. Of course this elicits mixed feelings, as it saves me a trip to New Jersey, but what a great opportunity that has slipped by. Well, there will be another.
