Alias Omnibus

[XberraX]

Anyone know where I can find one? Or anyone wanting to get rid of theirs? This thing is impossible to find!

[Jim T.]

Welcome! I don't know that you'll find folks willing to part with it cheaply. I know I intend on keeping mine b/c it was one of my favorite series ever.

[XberraX]

yeah, i know. the cheapest one i can find online anywhere is $240. i wouldn't mind paying over retail since it's out of print, but $240? fucking insane.

[Brewtown Andy]

yeah, i know. the cheapest one i can find online anywhere is $240. i wouldn't mind paying over retail since it's out of print, but $240? fucking insane.It's a $100 book to start with.

[KingMob]

I'll sell you mine for $230

[tstrapac]

It's a $100 book to start with.

It's a 69.99 book. I sold mine on the ebay for $130 I believe...

[The-Last-Man]

eBay is your friend. And by friend, I mean it will hate you and rip you off.

If you dont have the singles though, you could pick them up fairly cheaply:

Oh, and welcome.

[Jim T.]

Wow. Why not just hunt down the singles?

[XberraX]

haha, funny. i think i'll just stick with the single issues i have. no book on planet earth is worth me paying over $200.

[Brewtown Andy]

It's a 69.99 book. I sold mine on the ebay for $130 I believe...Ok, you're right. I'm thinking of the XMen Omnibus.

[XberraX]

i already have all the singles. i just wanted the omnibus so i could lend it out to people who don't read comic books cause i think it's the best story i've ever read and would surely hook em.

[YouStayClassy]

haha, funny. i think i'll just stick with the single issues i have. no book on planet earth is worth me paying over $200.

What about a Youngblood Omnibus?

[Lab-Rat]

Yeah...good luck. I hope you find one....and at a reasonable price. It's an awesome book.

[Thudpucker]

Wow, had no idea it was selling for so much. Might put mine on ebay and get the trades back.

Yeah the Omnibus books go for HUGE bank after they go out of print. Hell the Fantastic Four Omnibus Vol. 1 was going for well over $400 on ebay...though that will change since they are doing a second printing on the book soon.

[costello]

Last I checked my LCS had one. You want me to give you their number?

[TonyFleecs]

I got mine on Amazon a couple of months ago for $60.

Apparently they no longer have that deal going on.

[Buk Was Right]

haha, funny. i think i'll just stick with the single issues i have. no book on planet earth is worth me paying over $200.

What about the bible son?

Surely you can't put a monetary value on the word of the lord!

And by "the lord" I am of course talking about FIRELORD!

i would say you need to read more.

[TonyFleecs]

Bibles are free, sir.

Just walk into any charismatic Christian church and tell them, "hey, I'm thinking about reading this bible. You guys have one?"... They'll hook you up with a miniature version for fucking nothing!

Also, they might want to pray with you.

Always with the upsells!

[AAlgar]

I've tried selling my trades on eBay twice since I bought the Omnibus and they never get any bids.

Ugh. Now you tell me. I shelled out $14.95 at Barnes and Noble, which was weird because there wasn't a price on the bible, just a bar code.

Do churches carry the Apocrypha?

[AAlgar]

OMG, sign of the beast!

[TonyFleecs]

Do churches carry the Apocrypha?Naw man, that shit's not cannon.

They've got enough trouble keeping the testaments they've already got in order.

[Garth]

Man, someone got a good deal off me then. I sold my Alias Omnibus and a bunch of other Vertigo and Max trades and hardcovers for 200. I was all excited...until I read this thread.

[costello]

OMG, sign of the beast!

I know. If it's any consolation the 666 was on the plastic shrink wrap and not the bible itself.

We're just screwing with you because it's like 5 days before your birthday and we want to bring you down before the big surprise.

Woah...checking my profile much? Heh, my family and friends haven't even brought up my birthday yet this year. Now I know where my real loved ones reside. Right here with people I have never met, on the BenBo.

[arthurloewenkamp]

Last I checked my LCS had one. You want me to give you their number?

I would like that.

[MAK15]

hey, is there anything special 'bout the omnibus besides the fact that it's all of the issues in one binding?

[costello]

I would like that.

I leave this up for an hour or so.

It's in Nashua, NH and called The Comic Store. The guys there are pretty cool: 1-603-881-4855. I hope they can help you out.

This place might have one too: The Comic Shop - 112 East 6th Street -Oswego, NY 13126 (315) 343-8435. Arlene is one of the nicest people in the world and mailed my comics to me for 5 years after I graduated from college, so if there's anyone that could hook you up it'd be her.

Woah... you might be a stranger I've seen before. Weird.

That's how I got a New International Version bible. Actually, it was shoved into my hand just for showing up with a friend who had planned to go to that event for a long time. Heh.

[Patton]

There's a guy trading one in this thread:

[Spank Everest]

So, how come it's so hard to find/expensive?
I only got onto Alias a few months back, and I'm looking to get the fourth trade. Seems like I've gotta cough up $65 Aussie bucks for it. I'm willing to spend it (out of sheer love for this series), but I'd love to know why.

[Shawn_Kehoe]

Marvel's going back to press on several of the omnibus volumes, I believe: Uncanny X-men, FF vol 1, etc. No Alias at this time. :(

I noticed that in the previews. If they do re-release Alias later, I will be all over that. I traded the issues to someone on the board and I would love to get in on that sucker cheap with dcbs next time.

For what did you trade them?

[DeleriumTremens]

For what did you trade them?

And if someone wants to I'll trade them my HC for the issues.

[Matt O'Keefe]

They're not that hard to get. Just be willing to put some time in. I called all the stores in my area. Took about 15 tries, but I found a place that had one.

[c. page]

search around a bit on ebay also. i got mine on there for something like $50.00 a few months back.

[ClintP]

For what did you trade them?
Various tpbs that I was interested in. I think I got 3 teen titans tpb and a couple other things. I traded a friend for them before that and read them. I really wanted the omnibus so that is why I ended up trading them.

And if someone wants to I'll trade them my HC for the issues.
I would have done that trade.

$1,000 and it's YOURS! :twisted:

[wholaughslast]

damn, i didnt know it went for that much...hmmm:scared:

[TheGibson]

Damn. I'm all about selling increased value comics and buying other ones. I have the omnibus and all the individual issues. Was going to sell the singles, but I might have to change my mind.

How many trades are there? 5?
