Co-owner of Legends Comics and Books in Victoria, Gareth Gaudin, has been collecting comic books for nearly three decades, but after amassing thousands of copies over the years the time has come to sell. "It took a few hundred trips with dollies back and forth, so yeah most of July that was my life, moving," said Gaudin. Legends Comics and Books is trying to sell off 50,000 comic books after the store became overcrowded with stock because its warehouse closed. (Gareth Gaudin)Gaudin says the collection grew so large because he would routinely buy the comic collections of everyone that came in and offered. "Yeah, thousand-dollar comics, when you find those in the 25 cent bin that's exciting."
