Rick Remender Meets The Free Market

Can anyone tell me why Uncanny X-Force: Deathlok Nation [Hardcover] is going for $80-100?

Is there an after market for trades where they go up like back issues? — Rick Remender (@Remender) November 17, 2012

Is there anywhere online one can see what out of print trades are worth? — Rick Remender (@Remender) November 17, 2012

@gregpak WOW — Rick Remender (@Remender) November 17, 2012

@remender When we see a 1st print of an HC or TP in a lot for sale at the shop, we usually buy them, bag them, and sell them. People want em — Darren Hupke (@darrenhupke) November 17, 2012

@darrenhupke I had no idea. It's just Marvel DC stuff? — Rick Remender (@Remender) November 17, 2012

@remender @darrenhupke Depends on the book. Even Fear Agent Vol 4 is pretty pricey. amazon.com/Fear-Agent-Vol…

@remender it and the 1st volume are both OOP. Marvel does not typically reprint Premiere HCs.

@cheapgn Huh. But the first volume is still available at cover price. Wonder why vol.2 is worth more? — Rick Remender (@Remender) November 17, 2012

@remender @cheapgn I'd bet that, just like #2 issues, Vol2's are printed in smaller runs than Vol1's. — Moisés Chiullan (@moiseschiu) November 17, 2012

@moiseschiu @remender that's correct. Vol 2s almost always go for more because less are produced. — CheapGraphicNovels (@CheapGN) November 17, 2012

Crazy. RT @alex_chung: @remender Depends on the book. Even Fear Agent Vol 4 is pretty pricey. amazon.com/Fear-Agent-Vol… — Rick Remender (@Remender) November 17, 2012

@remender I sold the first 12 issues of the current uncanny xforce series for 120.00 on ebay — Roger Courtney (@super2510) November 17, 2012

@super2510 get the fuck out of here. — Rick Remender (@Remender) November 17, 2012

@remender I had to pay $150 for Uncanny X-force 1-24

@scottyarms That's crazy. You couldn't find them cheaper on Ebay?

— Rick Remender (@Remender) November 17, 2012

@remender that was eBay. Issue 4 alone gets $50 EASY. Low print run. — Scotty Arms (@scottyarms) November 17, 2012

@remender Out-of-print hardcovers can get ridiculous. Omnibuses especially. The Frank Miller Daredevil one can go for over $400. — Kyle Ross (@KyleReadsComics) November 17, 2012

@kylereadscomics No shit? Glad I grabbed one.
