I just paid $80 for a pair of Detective Comics #475 & 476 in VF/NM on eBay & felt like I got a good deal. I always have to laugh when I see those CGC comics going for outrageous amounts on eBay...the same books I just got for $80 are listed as a pair for $285 (9.2) just because they are CGC graded!!!!!! SO CRAZY! Also, another seller is selling both issues for $125 each and does not even list what condition the books are in, but judging from the cover scans he provided I would say they are in Fine/F+. The actual value for #475 & #476 is $70 each for NM condition.

I can't seem to find volume one of Love and Rockets V.1. Is this out of print?

I bought my copy of "Legends of the Dark Knight Marshall Rogers" HC book from instocktrades.com and paid $27.99. Good deal since the list price is around $50. So I bought my copy in late 2014. I was browsing on Amazon.com and noticed dealers are selling this book between $139.99-$223.69!! Ok, this book has apparently went out of print but this inflated asking price just seems outrageous to me. I also checked on Amazon to see how much dealers were asking for the OOP "Batman Strange Apparitions" TP and that price is between $86.10-$124.43!!

Looking at the various dealers on Amazon, you'll find that a lot of the pricing is, shall we say, fanciful. Some might go as far as delusional.

This is less a case of "selling" for a ridiculous amount than one of "listing" at a fanciful and hopeful amount. I see this happen a LOT with strip reprint books that go out of print. They shoot up to huge amounts and sit there...but they sit there and don't sell. And then when the book comes back into print they prices go down to a reasonable level. I guess a sucker could come along...and that's what the seller is hoping for. But mostly the books are just sitting there.

#475 for $40 sounds on par for a super nice copy. I just recently got one myself, albeit with a few spine marks. 7.0-7.5 I would say and mine was closer to $30. I am hoping to pick up #476 for $20-25 in similar shape eventually.

Also, like Cerebus, the earliest Love and Rockets issues are kind of rough. Like the entire first storyarc is these tiny, eye-hurting panels. I thought the first 60-or-so pages of ANY of these collections were a slog to get through.
