I used to skip every comic shop back issue bin until I found a $2 copy of Saga #1 at a store in Austin

Last Saturday I was killing time at a shop on South Lamar when I saw a long box marked "50 cents or best offer" and almost walked right past it. I pulled out Saga #1 and #2 for $2 total, then looked them up on my phone in the parking lot and saw they go for around $80 each now. I always figured back issue bins were just junk nobody wanted, but clearly I was wrong. What is the best cheap back issue you ever pulled, and do you check bins or just order online?
