Question
On Amazon.com I saw Simpson TPB for .01 cents. How do I get Marvel.com HC, comic books, paperbacks, TPB, etc. for o.01 cents as well?  How do I avoid paying shipping and the time it arrive? Is there a place I can go to to get Marvel.com for .01 cent?

Answer
Hi Henry -

My advice would be to continue to use Amazon and look at the prices they have listed for used merchandise like you are looking for.

I doubt you'll find TPBs for .01 but you might find them for $3.00 and under and (if they are in good condition) that can save you a decent percentage of money.

I typically avoid buying comic merchandise on the web because it's impossible to verify the condition of it until it arrives and condition is one of the most critical things to a comic collector.

I'm not much of an expert on online ordering sorry!

Expertise

I am an expert on the storylines of most DC and Marvel comics particularly the X-Men, Justice League and most Marvel comics of the 70's, 80's and early 90's. The characters with which I am the most familiar are Daredevil, Iron Man, Batman, and the Avengers. I am a rabid Green Lantern fan as well and would put that as one of my favorite things in life! One thing I won't do is estimate the value of a comic book, if that is what you need check out www.comicspriceguide.com

Experience

I have collected comic books for 36 years and have close relatives in the industry who helped shape the direction of comics in the early seventies.
