      Agreed! No OCD here either, but there is something vaguely depressing about seeing sooooo much hard work by artists just tossed around like so much...product. Of course that's all it is to these stores (and to the publishers), but its still a bummer.

    When an Ollie's opened up in my city, I went on day one, and it was MADNESS! But, I managed to get Superman For All Seasons: The Deluxe Edition HC, Suicide Squad: The Silver Age Omnibus HC, two New 52 Robin HCs, and JLA: Year One The Deluxe Edition HC. Those books would normally have been about $190 total. I got them at Ollie's for $40!! And they were all plastic wrapped, and either new or like new condition! But.........that's pretty much the only books they had that I was interested in. I need to go back and see if they got anything new.

    Wow. You guys have a lot of Ollie's. I thought I'd hit a lot of Ollie's just hitting the three that were in a couple of hours driving distance from my hometown. A lot of the stuff you guys picked up are things I picked up. Omar, that Twelve hardcover was the main reason I went to Ollie's in Clarksville, TN, the last time I went and I picked that up too. Great series with some beautiful Chris Weston art. I already had the individual issues but it was really nice to pick up the complete collection in hardcover at such a great price. I would've picked up that deluxe HC collection of Camelot 3000 but the Ollie's I went to didn't have it. Also picked up that Original Sin HC collection that Amanda got for 15 dollars which is quite a good price for a 75 dollar hardcover (which was pretty overpriced to begin with which is probably why they had so much backstock). When I went to Ollie's about a year ago they had a lot more DC stuff both HC's and tpb's and I picked up things like Neal Adams HCs of Batman and a big HC collection of Legion of Superheroes the Curse. At that time I also picked up all those JSA's that Amanda picked up so those have been there for over a year, but are a great read. Also as for that thick Hawkeye (and Mockingbird) collection that Amanda got, I saw that at my closest Ollie's as well but I'd already picked it up in the bargain section of Books-a-Million (although it was a couple of dollars more) so if you want that collection, Omar, check out the graphic novel bargain section at your local BAM. I know Ollie's had the omnibus of A vs. X but I didn't see that at the Ollie's I went to but I know people found it for like 14.99. And that was such a great deal of Amanda getting that Skottie Young Oz Omnibus for 5.99. It was probably supposed to be 14.99 as that seems to be their omnibus price point. Great haul, Omar and Amanda.

      @ShaneMatlock 5 лет назад

      @@NearMintCondition Yeah, Omar, they just got a huge shipment of Marvel overstock around a month or two back. I think it was maybe last November or December they had all the DC stuff, but I noticed on my last trip to Ollie's to check out the Marvel stuff they still had a lot of the DC stuff but most of the really good hardcovers were gone. I got two of the Starman hardcover omnibuses, vol 4 and 6, and two of the softcover omnibuses, vol 1 and 2, on my first trip to Ollie's. I ended up buying vol 5 in HC pretty cheaply but the prices for vol 3 are crazy expensive and I ended up having to buy the original OOP tpbs to get that part of the story. Sadly, they cancelled the softcover tpb Starman omnibuses after the second one for some reason. That was one of the better runs of comics during the 90's.

Omar, if you weren't my boy before I watched this you would be now with you proclaiming your love for Brian Bolland and Camelot 3000. Bolland's stuff just blows me away and I've read Camelot 3000 at least 5 times. It's just great stuff. I do have an Ollie's near me and I have bought some great stuff there dirt cheap. For me, my favorite thing I got there was TPB's of Denny O'Neil's Question run from the '80s. I was shocked to find them there. Once again, Omar is making me pry open my wallet because now I need to go back to Ollie's and take a look for myself. I should just have my paycheck deposited into Omar's checking account and have him buy me my Omni's, hardcovers and TPB's.

    I saw another video a few months ago at an Ollie's bargain hunting and it amazes me that booksellers or distributors liquidate so much of this inventory. It's great for people looking for good bargains, but across all 5 of those Ollie's I bet there was product that was common among all 5 locations like maybe those Hawkeye trades. I bet there must have been hundreds of those types of books. I like all those gems you found like the Queen & Country collections(fyi. Volume 4 concentrates on secondary characters from their Declassified series you only need volume 2 if you want to just enjoy the stories from the primary character unless you can find 2 and 4 for cheap). I am completely surprised you found an omni at one of the Ollie's. I still want to read Original Sin but not for retail. For 15 bucks it would be fine to take a chance on it. I can only assume these books come from booksellers trying to recoup money for the poor ordering choices of their buyers. I wish they had more places like this in Canada. Great hauls for a 1 day trip.
