‘The Wolverine’ at Walmart for $3.96, not so fast
Kind if comic book related, a great flip if it worker out. Walmart had advertised ‘The Wolverine’ on Blu-ray for $3.96 on Thanksgiving evening. However, they used the wrong picture. Instead of it being the correct, albeit, horrible x-Men Wolverine Origins, they advertised ‘The Wolverine’, the new Hugh Jackman film. Walmart has been plagued with errors lately and refuse to honor their own ad.

Man, I cannot believe some of the books being listed. There is a ton of great stuff. There are currently 5 pages of books (please keep it to comics or toys) that are being linked. I wish you guys all well with the sales. I know I am going to be shopping some of the stuff you are putting up. I will have a side bar up later that directly links to he deals and will be up until next Tuesday. Plus will be linking to all the deal in every post until next Tuesday.
So, if you haven’t had a chance to see what people have up, check out Comicsheatingup.net Community Black Friday deals
Awesome that you guys were so into this idea. It is a great chance to hopefully drive up views on your auctions and sales.
To get all books seen from all sellers, including yours from other sellers just do these two things:
1. Place CHU Black Friday at the end of your auction title.
2. Open this pdf file and copy the html into your auction body. It ensures all listings are seen from any auction comics heating up
Current items can be viewed below. There are already some great books up including a X-Men #38 Fn condition, and some Sixth Gun signed books for cover price.
So here is the idea, I am going to post a bunch of Auctions and By It Nows on eBay in preparation for Black Friday and Cyber Monday. I don’t want to pass up the chance to capitalize on the two biggest shopping days of the year. Continue reading “The Comics Heating Up Black Friday / Cyber Monday idea”
