Instructions
Know what you want to buy. This will make it easier to price the book, and you'll have a general idea of what it should cost. Good sources are "Wizard Magazine" and the "Overstreet Price Guide."
Know the price range for the condition of the title you want. If the book is much less expensive than what your price guide says, than either the seller doesn't know what he's selling, or it's not in the condition you want.
Buy locally, through mail order, online or at comic book conventions.
Shop around. Although most comic book shops price the same, they'll have special sales where they'll discount their books for tremendous amounts. Comic book conventions are known for good deals.
Buy your books and preserve them. Back issue values are dependent on condition, so take care of yours.
