After scanning and putting back on Ebay for resale...Take the proceeds and hold until the next prize shows up and buy it. Further contrubutions from members here might be necessary, but the process is a good idea.
i have often felt that a buying branch to this site or separate but for this sites enhancement, should be formed.
I would certainly become an active member of that type of group and would contribute a regular monthly amount to help.
Getting the difficult comics would be well worth it.,,,Maybe there are others here who agree and would also help with time, talents, and finances.
P.S.-Contributions directly to this site are always nice as well.
