My room and collection

[Bullseye]

Brilliant.

 

[Orko Is King]

I'm really digging the Jesse Custer statue. How much was he?

 

[Elijya]

I forget precisely. I THINK I got him for about $60 online. but tehy're rare and hardly ever appear on ebay anymore, and may run you a bit more

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

Link me, E. I just hope they're cheaper than th' Viking drawers I used originally.

 

[Elijya]

here's the thread from CPG about it. The first post has a link to the site where they're sold, but there's also a discussion about what people think the advantages and disadvantages might be
http://www.comicpriceguide.com/forum2/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=26822

some people advocate shelving units for just regular boxes, but personally, I'm only 23, and I'll probably have another 3 or 4 apartments before I move into a place more permanent and with enough room for a shelving unit, so box drawers might make alot more sense

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

Geeze, $10 per? Ya know, th' long boxes may be a pain soon but what th' hell, I need th' exercise anyway.

 

[Elijya]

they're made out of a material that's twice as sturdy as the cardboard used for regular boxes, these will last you alot longer

 

[Silver Sable]

ugh, no, thank you. come on, I told you in the thread you started about them I wasn't a fan

Sorry I forgot.You really must hate it do you? lol

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

Sure, that sounds good, but I don't have those kinda funds to be spendin' that much on FIVE boxes when fer $20 less I can get 5 more.

 

[DBM]

I've thought about picking up a couple of those drawer boxes. I actually have shelves for my collection already, but it'd be handy to have a few of those drawer boxes for my most recent comics that I haven't sorted and filed away yet.

lol, no. We don't have the same taste in alot of things, but I like you just fine

Man, I need to stop having kids and start spending my money on something important, like tpb's.

Cool collection Elijya,...and speaking of tpb's. I know you like hardbacks,.. have you heard of the Alias Omnibus coming out? It contains the whole 28 issue run, plus the What If issue. I'm debating picking it up myself.

Why thanks hun.Me too

 

[Bullseye]

I wish I had more room for my boxes of comics. Long boxes take up a lot of room. I may have to start using shelves.

So, what was your address again, E?

 

[Elijya]

1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, DC. Drop on by anytime. Just go around the gate and come knock on the door.

 

[ShadowBoxing]

Don't take this the wrong way...but you don't save a lot of money do you?

 

[Elijya]

no, unfortunately

 

[Bullseye]

I'm the same way. I don't save any money either.

 

[ShadowBoxing]

eh...I am kinda there myself...but its food thats killing me

 

[Bullseye]

Things need to have, and things want to have. It's a hard compromise to fulfill sometimes.

 

[Anubis]

I'm living check to check myself. This damn comic habit is like crack.

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

That's why I budgeted myself to $50 a week (from my original $30 when prices went up from when I started hardcore collectin'). However, $50's it. If th' comic prices go up again my pull list is goin' down.

 

[Anubis]

I've been cutting back. Going for the trades more often. Need to buy some new shelves. I decided I'm not buying anymore Mini's. Just wait for the trades from now on. As well as cutting back on some of my ongoings. That would put me around, $30-$50 bucks a week. I also need to cut back on the Porn and weed, but thats a whole other problem right there.
