So, the girlfriend is moving in (hopefully) sometime in the future. This sounds all well and good until she tells me that she'll be bringing stuff with her and I need to make stuff for it. Of all the shit. Anyways, this means it's time again to go through all my stuff again and see what I should keep (the vast majority of it), sell, and quite frankly, throw on the recycling pile.

And by god, the random shit I found in there.

Most of the gory details I took little breaks to post about via teh Facebooks and Twitters, but Jebus I can't believe some of this stuff I completely forgot about. Does anyone else remember JMS doing a year on FF? I sure didn't. And there's junk like a random Silver Surfer series I found from about six years back, I almost completely forgot Rucka did a pretty solid WOLVERINE run, and then all these random Vertigo books I have laying around since the early part of the decade. And god, so many X-MEN books. I'm going to have two long boxes of the stuff alone trying to be sold *coughMakeMeAnOfferRoncough*

But, looks like I've pulled out about five boxes worth of books to see what I can get for them. At the most I think I've got about 4 decent runs of stuff I can Ebay for a little scratch, at the worst maybe I can get my shop guy to absorb it all into his stock for a month's free comics. It was actually kind of a fun little memory lane trip, even if it did raise hell on my back...

God my taste sucked when I was a teen...

If you have the Derrick Robertson wolverine run, I would purchase that.

I actually had a run of that a few years back. Sold it for a hundred so I could pick up the series in trades for my bookcase.

Most of this stuff is junk. I'm not going to lie, I'm actually going to put a solid fifty books out of it on the recycling pile because I don't think I could get a penny a piece for them. There is some decent stuff in here though, since some of it is stuff I double dipped on, like a full run of Powers and Bendis' DD run, etc. So, hopefully maybe 2 boxes worth of it will actually fetch me something on ebay. Who bloody well knows right now with the economy the way it is though. It's definitely a buyers market if they have the money.
