How Amazing Spider-Man #700 Ended Up On eBay

[Rich Johnston]

Canal Street was the location of a rather intriguing exchange between two men a couple of nights ago.

Not Canal Street in Manchester, but Canal Street Station in New York, nestled in Soho and Chinatown.

Waiting for the 6 train, online comics dealer "Al Mega"of Long Island's Comics Crusaders spied an individual was a batch of next week's Marvel Comics - including Amazing Spider-Man #700 and Avenging Spider-Man #15.1 which are both intended to be held by retailers for an extra week, to be sold on December 26th.

After a convivial conversation, he offered to buy them for ten dollars. The purchase was made, he rushed to eBay... the rest is now history.

Canal Street is on a direct subway line from 50th Street station, right next to Marvel's offices.

Hell, I'd have bought them for $10 in a heartbeat.

Great picture, didn't somebody ask for that?

I don't give a flying crap about Spider-Man or Marvel, but I have to be honest: for some unfathomable reason, I am curious how this all happened. The whole story just amuses me, though I don't know why.

I think Mission Impossible is more apt at this time

More like the Benny Hill theme

Only $10!
