Hunter Gathers from the forum sold me a complete run of Scout (including War Shaman, two mini series and a handbook) for 15 bucks plus $5.50 to cover freight.
49 books late 80s Tim Truman goodness!

Adam Warlock is probably (along with Deadpool and Azrael) my favorite character in comics so I tend to buy/hoard anything remotely associated with him and added a cheapie recent with buying one of those packaged-for-retailer sets of Warlock and the Infinity Watch (the first issue may be my favorite single comic book issue). Limited edition of 70k
I talked a bit about it here.
And I'm not kidding. Find me OA pages I dig and I'll pay you!

I once (maybe 7-8 years ago) found the entire run of Alan Moore's Miracleman on Eclipse, save for the two crucial issues: his daughter's birth and the massacre of London. I found the birth issue a few years later in another bin. All I'm missing now is the London issue, and I doubt that I am going to find it in any bin anywhere.
Oh well.

My favorite threat on these boards, no crying about comics, just talking comics
Gerber's run on Mister Miracle, 23-25.
Hoping to find Englehart's run next.
Always thought he was such a cool character, amplified by his and Barda's appearance on JLU. I could do with more MM - is he active anywhere post FC?

Anytime I felt like I found a new G.O.A.T I go back to this run and correct myself.
I have a couple of things to share later in the week if fedex tracking can be believed!

A few years ago I was on eBay and saw a Mister Fantastic statue going for $0.99 and free shipping, I won it for $0.99 so I guess really he paid me to take it

A while back I stumpled upon a VERY cool book at a yard sale that was well designed and illustrated. I bought it and loved it so much, that I talked about it here: http://www.adhousebooks.com/blog/?p=232
After some suggestions from the twitterverse, I looked closer, and the artist turned out to be Syd Mead!
Got an email yesterday from Graphic Collectibles, who were selling two originals from the book. At that point, I found out that this book can go for around $800. I think I paid $1 for it. Not bad. 
Would have loved to have gotten one of those originals, too! http://www.graphiccollectibles.com/detail/index.cfm?nPID=13908

A Coliseum of Comics in Orlando, FL is moving and selling a lot of their stock from the old store; the sale started on January 19 at 30% and has added another 5% off for everyday. I've gone back and forth, gauging when to buy stuff. They had a TON of GREAT stuff at a HUGE discount. I saw $99 Omnibus's at 45%-55% off. Anyway, here's what I got:
35%:
New X-Men Vol. 3 trade (it was the last one, didn't want to risk it)
Ultimate Elektra (I'm a sucker for Daredevil stuff)
45%:
Marvel's Project HC
Parker: The Outfit
Captain America: Winter Soldier Vol. 2
70%:
Superman: New Krypton Vol. 1, 2, & 3 (all HCs)
80%:
Superman: Codename Patriot HC
New X-Men Vol. 1 HC (already own the trade, couldn't pass up the $8 hardcover)
Secret Warriors Vol. 1 HC
Ultimate Spiderman Vol. 5 (for the nephew)
and...
Daredevil Omnibus by Brubkaer Vol. 2 (for $16!)
I think I put some x-mas money to good use. It was one of the better sales I've seen, tons of good stuff there too with 90% off this weekend.

Over the past couple of weeks I've been scouring Ebay trying to get good deals on various Big 2 superhero comics (which is a big glaring hole in my collection). I've specifically been looking for Batman, Daredevil, and Captain America stuff.
So far, I've managed to pick up an almost complete run of Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight #0-115, plus all Annuals, for $50 dollars in total. I still miss a few issues (#98 and #101 in particular), but I'm sure I'll find those soon enough.
I also picked up five TPBs of Brubaker's Captain America run for $20.
Very excited to get started on these soon

Good series. I can send you #101 if you want.
