Hi everyone.

I came on here a while back offering to sell part of my collection (but my wife relented and I kept them). 

But this time I have to sell.....

I have a vast collection and I've been offered a lump sum from a specialist comic's buyer.  I have just gone back to him for a re price as I had lots more than I thought and some much rarer ones too.

So.... be prepared:

Here is my collection.  I would take £500 - 600 for the lot (my offer to date is £400)
Its so large however, that I would only be able to offer PICK UP ONLY.  I live near Chorley in Lancashire:

I've included Hyper Links to a 2000ad Database so you can check out the ones I have:  http://www.2000ad.org/?zone=prog&page=profiles&choice=1

1:    OLD FORMAT:

I have:        Prog 17 & 20  (20 a little torn near staples)
                164, 167, 179, 180 (179 has a rip in cover)  167,79,80 Name on front
                226,227,229,230,231,232  (232 has free gift still with it)
                235,236,237,239,240,242,243,244,246,247,248,249
                250,251,257,258,261,262,269,274,275,280,285.286,294,297
                300 (a tear in back) 349,350,366,370,372,378,390,391,399
                400 - 405, 408,409, 413, 415, 419 - 421, 425, 428 (Slight Tear to top),  429, 430, 431, 432, 433, 434 ( x 2)
                435 - 438, 440, 441, 442, 443 - 445 (445 x 2) 446, 447, 448, 449
               
  From now I have pretty much all of them, so I'll highlight ones missing)

                450 - 459 (446 missing, all have names except 448)
                460 - 469 (461 and 465  x 2)
                470 - 479
                480 - 489 
                490 - 499                 
                Prog 500:  Glossy cover:  http://www.2000ad.org/?zone=prog&page=profiles

                501 - 519
               
So that is 158 comics in the OLD old paper format: 
All are in reasonable condition (Some have pen names, and some are yellower than others, but actually all still good)


From this point on I bought these direct so they are all without names and in very good condition

2:     IMPROVED PAPER FORMAT
   
520 - 588:   Paper cover format (larger):            68 comics


3:     GLOSSY COVER
    589 - 600        12 Comics
    601 - 700        100 Comics
    701 - 800        (700, 702, 704, 718 719, 721, 722, 723 732, 752, 795 all x 2)  111 Comics
    801 - 900        (852, 853, 870, 872 x 2)   104 Comics
    901-  1000      (911,912,913,914,915,916,917,982  x 2)  108 Comics
    1001 - 1099    100 Comics
    1100 - 1199     100 Comics 
    1200 - 1299     100 Comics
    1300 - 1399     100 Comics
    1400 - 1499     (1462, 1463 x 2)  102 Comics
    1500 - 1599     100 Comics
    1600 - 1699     100 Comics
    1700 - 1794     94 Comics (PRESENT DAY)

       So that 1231 2000AD with Glossy cover.

All of them have their free gifts attached too:  So 830 for example has a pencil.  838 has a Sonic comic.  Lots have playing card sets etc.

Hello, just in case that you can split the collection I would be interested in poster prog of Slaine and nemesis

cheers

betel_uk

A MASSIVE "thank you" to regnak83 for looking after this little lot over the years... I know it's been a bit of a wrench for him to let these go so I've promised him I'll make sure they go to good homes!

I know regnak83 was going to put the money towards an iPad and a click wheel subscription so any advice from the boarders on that would be great.

He's OK'd it for me to hijack this thread (I'd never have been able to put such a comprehensive list of what the collection contained anyway) so if anybody who wanted individual items from this lot wants to drop me a PM I'll see if I can find it amongst the pile of boxes!!!

regnak83

Thanks to betel_uk for being such a reliable purchaser.  He is quite correct that it was a wrench seeing them go...  a part of my childhood went forever yesterday :(

On the plus side, my wife is now talking to me again, and I have a ceiling that isn't in danger of collapsing anymore  :P

Regarding the sale, Betel_uk was excellent to deal with so if anyone is looking for an honest transaction without any hidden agenda's or worries, Betel is the man.

(Just a reminder to Betel_uk, you need to add the US import onto your list.

As Betel_uk has said, I'm buying an IPAD and looking at doing future on there.  I'd like to try and put past onto it too?  Please PM me if anyone has any tips.

And to those who purchase any of my old collection from Betel_uk....they were well loved and I hope you get as much enjoyment from them as I did.


glassstanley

Email sent, Betel:)

The iPad is a great route to go down. There's a lot of stuff available out there now.
