The list of Usagi books for sale by Mile High Comics resets every seven days or so and floods my newly listed Usagi feed on eBay. I know why their listing always resets and doesn't sell because of listings like this: TPB volume 1 Ronin VF(6th printing) for $63.50 plus $4.95 shipping
Are they hoping that someone accidentally buys it? Do they ever sell anything at these prices? This really has me confused from a business standpoint.

Mile High Comics' prices are outrageous. I think the owner is more of a curator of comics than a retailer. He's been around a long time so he's doing something right. I've never seen a copy of Albedo 2 listed for sale and they claim to have millions of comics.

I have purchased hardcovers from them in the past when they would have 40% off retail, but now I use IST for new trades/hardcovers.

I used to get a lot of comics from them, mostly variant covers. But a couple years back ...well like 4, the prices went up on new released stuff that everyone else would sell cheaper so stopped buying from then. Still get a ton of spam from them.

That was an interesting video go, thanks for sharing!

Mile High used to have a store near me in the city of Garden Grove, although they closed down several years ago. It was not my "go to" comic book shop, but I did occasionally shop there. The first time I ever met an artist, and had a book signed was at Mile High - that was a long time ago. The artist was Sergio Aragonés.

Many years later, when I was completing my Groo collection, I bought a number of books from Mile High (online), because assortment and the prices were good.

If you're looking to pick up some back issues, I saw Mile High has a 50% off code, LABORDAY!, that is active right now.

I used to buy comics from mile high before the internet. Ha! But I became a true fan when The Tick came out. The Tick #3 was the first comic I bought in college, when a friend took me to this strange little store called a "comic book store" in 1988. I used Mile High to get copies of the limited edition issues of Tick #1 & 2. I love that comic. I'm looking forward to watching the new Amazon video series with my kids.

I also used their sells to speculate on certain back issues. So if any of you need a copy of Eddy Current #1, I'm your man.

Peace, Maka

Why would anybody speculate on comics? Oh yeah, that's all we did in the Nineties. I had over 100 copies of Deathmate Black (1st Gen13). I thought it was going to be so valuable. Fast forward 20 years and I still have 90+ copies. A local comic shop was kind enough to give me $25 dollars store credit for 10 copies.

Anyway, those were the good ole days before life started.

Should've bought 100 copies of Albedo #2 instead.

I don't think I had ever stepped into a comic shop before '86-'87. I remember seeing a stack of Punisher #1 sitting by the cash register and I thought it was the coolest thing ever. That had to be in 1986. I'd buy comics and walk next door to the arcade. Anybody remember arcades?
