2000 AD - The Ultimate Collection

[Shakira? Shakara!]

Was in Birmingham yesterday to see Depeche Mode. Had some time to kill beforehand so visited Worlds Apart. Had a load of Ultimate Collection books for £5. Lucked out and found a copy of ABC Warriors: The Volgan War Volume 2, so have the full run of ABC Warriors in Mek Files & Hachette now. Unsealed, but in good nick if it is indeed second hand or an old display copy.

Also found a copy of The Complete Nemesis The Warlock Volume 2 for £20. Sold my copy on Ebay last year (I have the fancy ltd hardcovers so the softcovers were superfluous and taking up far too much shelf space) and to my utter shock got £77 for it. Had no idea it was so sought after. So that's going straight up on Ebay. Flipping isn't something I do, but as a one off it'll hopefully knock some money off my massive energy bill if I can repeat the trick. Was surprised to see it sat there completely overlooked so may as well take advantage before someone else does.

I don't really get why they go for so much when they're available in cheaper volumes.Maybe someone could enlighten me

[IndigoPrime]

I imagine because some people want to complete a partial collection of books they already have, and also because these editions provide a means to get everything from a strip, in a reasonably affordable manner.

£77 for the Nemesis phone book that's mental.Worst thing is I probably had it and gave it away

[AdamStrange]

I've got my sob story about those Nemesis collections. I sold a set of 3 in mint condition on eBay just before Christmas. I got £125 for the set and packaged them really well, but the courier seemingly played football with them. They were delivered damaged and eBay pretty much took all the money back off me 😡

[IndigoPrime]

Sorry to hear it. Can you not claim off the courier, or did you not take out insurance?

[AdamStrange]

Stupidly took out a limited insurance postage method. Trying to save some cost as I thought packaging was indestructible. There's a lesson to be learned there 🤦

[Shakira? Shakara!]

Sorry to hear that pal. I can imagine the sinking feeling in my stomach as that money went back where it came from

Would be nice to get a Ron smith edition in the latest extension seems strange to not include black Atlantic in a collection, will we get a lot of dredd in the last extension

Is there enough decent stuff that hasn't been confirmed yet to justify another 20 editions

Did you see a photo of the damaged books? There are as many unscrupulous buyers as there are sellers on Ebay. Buyers are very aware that EBay nearly always takes their side in disputes.

Looks like that's all of Luke Kirby, given that the page count almost exactly matches the Rebellion volume. I'm happy with my Rebellion HC, but that's a bargain price for the entire tale in (smaller) HC. Durham Red: I imagine I'll pick that up. Big fan of the Worley run. As for Armoured Gideon: ANNIHILATE!
