When I was 12 or 13, one of my friends swore up and down that he found a copy of Action Comics #1 in Mint condition in his garage. I was dumb enough to believe him, and remember I always got upset because he'd never show it to me.
Anyway, I also find it funny that the pony selling the comic (who may or may not have a name) isn't actually smart enough to know you'd almost certainly want to auction off a copy of Action Comics #1 rather than sell it... or that a store just happens to keep a million dollars around in case someone shows up with AC#1.

Exactly, LOL! The shop I worked at had a larger shop in Austin, which is one of the biggest in the U.S. When someone walked in with a copy of Amazing Fantasy #15, they didn't buy it. They agreed to sell it and then give a cut to the owner. Because who the heck has that much cash on hand? o_O
It's entirely possible your friend had one of those reprints. Those are hard-to-find, too, but I've bagged a couple copies of those. Or he could have just been a big fat liar. XD
Sparkleworks is the best. I need more Sparkleworks!!
So, she likes to play My Little Pony Dungeons & Dragons, a little cosplay and hanging around comic shops. I think she should be a web designer who gives Minty CSS tips :D
This reminds me of that show "Pawn Stars", have you seen it? Some of the people that show up in there are SO delusional. Those guys have absolutely no problem laughing the dumbasses out of the store, though. It's awesome. >:}
I've seen a few episodes. So interesting! I remember seeing one where a guy came in with a big box of 80's comics, and they had to inform him that his books weren't worth a crap. XD
And the boss I mentioned in the comment below was on Pawn Stars when he went to Vegas to get married a month ago. The episode is called Fortune in Flames, and he was the one at the end selling the pistol.
Some 80's comics are! I had an 80'a X-Men that (when I sold it a few years ago) was hovering around $30 in NM. (I forget the issue number, but it's one with Wolverine, Captain America and Black Widow on the cover. Oddly enough, you can see the same issue for a few seconds in Weird Al's White & Nerdy video.)
... Actually, now that I think about it, that issue may be from '90 or '91...
