Ethics wonderful. I will never forget when you purchased a picture from a homeless man, found out it had value,searched him out, gave him 1/2 proceeds, set him up and gave him a new life!!
Never a wrong time to do the right thing! You can’t put a price on a clean conscience. Hope you and the guy you bought the comic books from get over $20,000 for it.
Great find- dear fellow folks that follow Alex. Keep in mind that Alex buys and pays for all his treasure hunts. I’m not refuting whether this is about conscience, however, , when anyone purchases anything , it belongs to the buyer. There was a monetary agreement between the seller and Alex and this purchase. Example: if a person has ever watched the Antique Roadshow, there have been many times that a person has purchased an item at a thrift store, yard sale, flea market, etc., that turns out to be very valuable, no one lays “ a guilt trip” on the buyer and tells them to return or split the money with the seller (s). Recall that a few years ago Alex cleaned and cleared a “ musicians hoarder “ house “ and there was a financial agreement per Alex) that almost everything in the house would belong to Alex and his family, this cleaning turned out to have “ netted” Alex a big profit and in reading the comments at the time , I do not recall that anyone said he should split or return all the items with the sellers, like some are now are suggesting. Alex is running a business, not a lost and found and return one. This is his livelihood. Peace ☮️. Just saying.
Congratulations on the finds. You always do the honorable thing, even if it cuts into your profits. So nice to find a businessman with morals! Alex is a rare person.
Alex, thank you for doing the right thing by this collector. I am sure he will be thrilled. A lifetime of collecting, is probably hard to give up. Well done sir.
Alex, you're such a mensch! The fortune you could've amassed if you weren't so morally-based staggers my imagination. I remember the Disney still that the homeless man sold to you and how that changed his life (can't remember his name at the moment). Maybe it would be a good story to revisit for both us "old-timers" and the many new subscribers to your channel since the last update. Love this about you; don't change who you are (as-if)...and that seller was lucky that you are THAT guy!
I had to look it up, it's Adam! He got money from the Disney cel and Alex did a gofundme and raised $18000! Adam was able to go home to Ontario and get back on his feet!
WOW!!!! Not only amazing that you fond some thing so valuable but that you are such an amazing individual. Keep up the good work and looking forward to the updates.
Keep Rocking 🤙 good stuff 👍 Beautiful people 🤗🦃🥧🕊️🫶🐦 Epic Soar 🪽 Score🤑04✝️ The Force 🖖 continues with you & yours treasure finds & continue connecting with RUclips Family 😉🗽🇺🇲🦅🦃🙏
What a wonderful decision you made about a 50/50 split with the man you bought the comic books from, you can't put a price on peace of mind...God Bless You.
Hey Alex, Congrats on the cool books, but just a heads up on the Venom, it is the newsstand edition that sold for 21000. The direct edition in a 9.8 should still go for around 5k though and an awesome find. You can tell if a comic is a newsstand edition by having a barcode in the bottom left corner instead of an image. Good luck and happy treasure hunting!
Those are amazing finds. You never cease to be honorable and honest with your buyers when it comes to the value of items. Wish there were more people out there like you. Thanks for sharing!
..Back in the day (1960's) my dad used to come home with comics that his friend had read..a "hay day" for us kids....AND...there was a lil store just across the alley from us that used to carry all these comics...we loved when he got the new ones in....then we used to trade comics with our friends....great memories....glad you found some of the more "precious" ones in this collection....Kudos to you for sharing the profits with the original owner! Best always...from BC
This reminds me of when you purchased the Disney artwork from Adam and then had to track him down when the real value of the item was determined. You helped him turn his life around which is worth more than any profits you would have gained. God bless you and yours.
I love to watch your videos! Not only is it interesting and educational, you also restore my faith in fellow man. With all of the negative news online, it's nice to see an honest family man who tries to reuse, recycle and give back.
Congratulations! I’m so happy for you all that this worked out well. Again, I admire your honesty with who you purchased from. That is right doing the right thing is never wrong.❤
I like your videos but what keeps me coming back is your ethics, kind heart and love of life. I respect and appreciate that you truly care about the people you deal with. It is not "just about you" God Bless
Wow! Nice finds, hope to someday happen into such a collection. I can completely understand the situation you were in once that one comic showed up. You're a genuine person of honesty. That's the difference in having morals or not. You for sure will sleep better for it. Thanks for all the fun adventures over the years .
Happy your find seems be have been so profitable. You have a good kind heart and it shows where you would split the profit of a potentially valuable comic book. Enjoy your hunting.
I just had to give you kudos for doing what is right for the other gentleman imagine all the effort and love he put into that collection he must have really needed the money. Kudos!!!!!!!!
Alex, As you may know there are long & short comic book storage boxes. The white boxes you have are short. The long boxes store about 100 books, so the short boxes store about 50 or more. Hope that helps & congrats on your find & generosity 👍
Congratulations on the great finds and for doing the right thing. Honesty is rare now days, this is always the way I ran my resell business. During my time as a reseller meet so many great people but there was always those few that made it hard with their five finger discounts.
Something very unusual and beautiful about you Alex, that I don’t see in other resellers and thrifters, is that you value being kind to your fellow humans, above cash profit. You believe strongly in fairness and in doing the right thing. I wish everyone had your outlook, rather than just trying to get ahead and profit no matter who is harmed. You have a lot to teach people, and I hope that people watching your videos will learn to be better people through osmosis.
That's where the TV channel went wrong Alexander, they didn't include the main constituent of your successful House Clearance series, YOU! and your family and friends who bring so much more to your vlogs! ❤ XXX
Alex my handsome comic book character. WOW! You got a great selection. You hit the jackpot. You guys will get more than your money back. Well sexy until next time. Please, take care and stay safe. Love ya . Happy Thanksgiving 🍺🍺🍾🍽🍁🦃🥂🌞🌹❤️😇🙏🇺🇸🕊🌈👍
wow!!!!so many comic books!!!what a find!!!! and of course like always alex you know what to find!!!!! and a good decision on sharing that profit with the seller!!!!!
I am a collector and have both of those Venom Lethal Protector books. Even at mid grade the only 2000 error produced is a $500 copy at best while the “shiny” cover is a $10 price.
The Jimmy Olsen was drawn by Jack Kirby. Don't think it was his first time drawing Superman but he only worked on this title for a short period of time.
It's too bad some of the older ones where not bagged and Boarded . Nice pick ups, first Deadpool that is a great book.. Congrats on the Venom find. Cheers from Ontario!
The comics I read and exchanged as a child were older than these but we didn’t consider that they would be collectible half a century later. That might be the reason you don’t see them now!
Loved "Master of Kung Fu" - that was my all time favourite Marvel comic. - You said that you think they are making a movie about Red Sonja I haven't heard that but there was a Red Sonja movie made in 1985 played by Brigitte Nielsen and Arnold Schwarzenegger was also in that movie.
Alex, I enjoy watching your videos and I’m learning the value of things. Several years ago I cleaned out a neighbors trailer after she passed. I found a 1943 copper penny and an Elvis LP vinyl. I’ve checked them out and I believe they are worth some money, but how can I get their full value? where can I sell them? I always see articles on Facebook saying you have such and such and it’s worth this much money but they never tell me how I can get the money for them. I don’t want to be a collector but I could sure use the cash. I would really appreciate your help! thank you and keep putting out the great videos.
Ethics wonderful. I will never forget when you purchased a picture from a homeless man, found out it had value,searched him out, gave him 1/2 proceeds, set him up and gave him a new life!!
"YOU ARE A GOOD MAN CHARLIE BROWN" for sharing the profit. Well done Alex
Never a wrong time to do the right thing! You can’t put a price on a clean conscience. Hope you and the guy you bought the comic books from get over $20,000 for it.

Alex, you're such a good hearted, honest person. It's one of the things that keeps me watching your channel. Well, that and the dad jokes. 🙂

"We try and make things a little better along the way" You definitely live up to that phrase Alex!! As long as I've known you 😊
Going thru what we are going thru here in the states it's always great to see an honorable and ethical man
WOW!!!! Not only amazing that you fond some thing so valuable but that you are such an amazing individual.
Keep up the good work and looking forward to the updates.
You are the best man ever!!! What a heart and conscience you have....the world needs more honesty and integrity like you just showed...bravo!!!🎉
Alex, you are such a good and honest man. No wonder you are so loved and trusted. Lots of hugs coming your way from Nova Scotia.
Classy move. 👍 A +

Those are amazing finds. You never cease to be honorable and honest with your buyers when it comes to the value of items. Wish there were more people out there like you. Thanks for sharing!
You are a good egg, that's why I love this channel. Thanks!

So great that you're sharing with the fellow who you purchased the comic books from. What a sweetheart you are Alex.
Good on you. I also do that for sellers with items I've bought that I end up getting significantly more than expected.
This reminds me of when you purchased the Disney artwork from Adam and then had to track him down when the real value of the item was determined. You helped him turn his life around which is worth more than any profits you would have gained. God bless you and yours.
I love to watch your videos!

Right decision 👍
You're a good man. My dad was a dealer here in the UK. He always said he liked to sleep at night.
I like your videos but what keeps me coming back is your ethics, kind heart and love of life. I respect and appreciate that you truly care about the people you deal with. It is not "just about you" God Bless
Good on you both! Yes, agreed, making things right, is more important than the monetary value.
Wow! Nice finds, hope to someday happen into such a collection. I can completely understand the situation you were in once that one comic showed up. You're a genuine person of honesty. That's the difference in having morals or not. You for sure will sleep better for it. Thanks for all the fun adventures over the years .
You will always do well as you consider the vendor in the profits , wishing you well for the auction ❤
What a surprise for him. Now, everyone knows but him.
Fingers crossed for a good grade. No one ever offers to share the losses with you. I love that you are more than "just fair".
Happy your find seems be have been so profitable. You have a good kind heart and it shows where you would split the profit of a potentially valuable comic book. Enjoy your hunting.
Your ethics makes my heart happy. Kudos to you.
We all know you did that because you are such a great guy! Love this about you Alex!
I just had to give you kudos for doing what is right for the other gentleman imagine all the effort and love he put into that collection he must have really needed the money. Kudos!!!!!!!!

Very exciting Brother Alexander. Thanks for sharing Your passion and adventures from Toronto Ontario Canada 😎👍♥️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️📚📚📚📚📚✨️✨️♥️💯💯💯💯💯
Congratulations on the great finds and for doing the right thing. Honesty is rare now days, this is always the way I ran my resell business. During my time as a reseller meet so many great people but there was always those few that made it hard with their five finger discounts.
Tell Melissa it was great to see her precious face , missing her videos ❤
This is why I watch you cos you are a decent man. 😊

This is why I like you and I've been following you for a few years now! It's good to be honest isn't it!?
So very cool, Alexander. Hope this deal works out for you and the collector/seller. Good man Mr. Archbold.
You are a hard worker and a good human.
Someone raised you right, Alex. Good man in Canada.
Enjoyed!!! Appreciate your honesty👏👏👏
Congrats! Good things come to people who do good!
Sharing the big profits is the honourable thing to do, some folks sadly would not….
Awesome buy, that was a lot of fun watching you go through those!
You are such an awesome person !
You’re a good man Alex !
This was fun! You are a good guy to split profits.
You’re a good man Alex. I agree that was the right thing to do
Enjoy your sleeps Alex. May they all be the bestest!
That's where the TV channel went wrong Alexander, they didn't include the main constituent of your successful House Clearance series, YOU! and your family and friends who bring so much more to your vlogs! ❤ XXX
Nothing better than a good nights sleep!
You are such a good person Alex! Not many people would do that these days
Like I said before, you have a good heart. Great find Alex.
Quite often, almost always, the answer to RUclips title questions is "no." I'm so early I have to watch the video to find out.
If you want clickbait then Curiosity Inc isn't your channel.
You and the OP are new here, aren't you, @@proudvirginian?
Alex my handsome comic book character. WOW! You got a great selection. You hit the jackpot. You guys will get more than your money back. Well sexy until next time. Please, take care and stay safe. Love ya . Happy Thanksgiving 🍺🍺🍾🍽🍁🦃🥂🌞🌹❤️😇🙏🇺🇸🕊🌈👍
I happened upon an Underdog comic a few years back at a comic book event. I was really surprised to see it i think I paid $2 for it.
You trusted your gut! Good for you 😊😊😊
very cool ..... good job!
Lots of key issues in there. Looks like the collector was quite the Kirby fan.
Nice of you to do the 50/50!
Much respect for you!
wow!!!!so many comic books!!!what a find!!!! and of course like always alex you know what to find!!!!! and a good decision on sharing that profit with the seller!!!!!
Well done Alex! You are a class act.
Congratulations on the great find in the wild 🎉 Those Jimmy Olsen comics looked in a great condition. Even the First Darkseid
Treasure hunt paid off 😁
Sports cards and comic books make my head spin. I realize there are people out there that know a lot more then I do
You are a good egg 😊
REALLY nice score Alex, you have made a ton of Edmonton area comic collectors both jealous and mad, haha!
Nice work splitting the profit. The world is a better place with you in it.
I am a collector and have both of those Venom Lethal Protector books. Even at mid grade the only 2000 error produced is a $500 copy at best while the “shiny” cover is a $10 price.
Ur such a great person
Generosity is the outward expression of inner kindness. 'Nuff said. 👍🏻
The Jimmy Olsen was drawn by Jack Kirby. Don't think it was his first time drawing Superman but he only worked on this title for a short period of time.
"Devil Dinosaur"...I think I need that on a hoodie! Happy American Thanksgiving, everyone!
Thanks for the video 🙏
It's too bad some of the older ones where not bagged and Boarded . Nice pick ups, first Deadpool that is a great book.. Congrats on the Venom find. Cheers from Ontario!
How many in this world left like your quality Alex.
Happy Thanksgiving from Missouri enjoy your day.
You also helped Hans with buying him a house
I love you continued integrity.
You sure know your comics
I wish you could be President of the USA! So decent and ethical! Not too many business people like you!
Look for the Incredible Hulk 181 and Amazing Spider-Man 129
I remember this video but it's always good to be watched them
Happy Thanksgiving Alexander and all!
The comics I read and exchanged as a child were older than these but we didn’t consider that they would be collectible half a century later. That might be the reason you don’t see them now!
I’m guessing that you will break even, everyone is looking for a deal, but the cost of the hunt is worth it
Thanks Alex!
Loved "Master of Kung Fu" - that was my all time favourite Marvel comic. - You said that you think they are making a movie about Red Sonja I haven't heard that but there was a Red Sonja movie made in 1985 played by Brigitte Nielsen and Arnold Schwarzenegger was also in that movie.
If you ever find any Lady Death comics let me know and i will happily purchase them!
You're one of the good'uns, Alex.
