Gotta be a way i could make money off of this, right?

My Friend was bemoaning the fact that you just can't find Judge Dredd comics at comic bok conventions any more. I knew that this was a crock because i see the old Quality/Fleetway reprints clogging my Quarter Bins at every show! He said sure, maybe in the Quarter Bins... but who has the time and the patience to sort through fifty thousand comics to find maybe a dozen comics that they actually want or need?

That's where *I* come in!

i found approximately 40 Judge Dredd comics in the quarter bins of ECCC that I will now be delivering to him just to prove a point.

Do you suppose a person could make money like this? "The Quarterbineers" could be a service where you hire a guy to scan the quarter bins for you, and you agree to pay 35-cents for each comic with a minimum of $5?

Well, it presupposes a decent supply of lazy bastards for whom the thrill of the hunt is not enough to overpower the dread of slogging through quarter bins... and who are willing to pay money for the ability to stand in the hall & ogle scantily-clad cosplayers while someone else combs through the bins.

So, yeah, you'll make MILLIONS!!!!

Crap - I bet you can charge 50 cents for each comic. Never underestimate exactly how lazy Americans can be and their willingness to pay huge markups to avoid having to do any actual work. ;)
