I don't get what makes them so valuable.Or, rather, what the person who pays so much for them actually does with them. Does he just keep them and go "Yes indeed. I have comics", or does he try to sell them on for even more money a little later?

^this^I buy comics generally because I like the artwork (never been much a of a whole series fan - except Sandman and a few other limited runs). Never understood anyone buying things to sell later. Just enjoy what you've got.

when DC did the whole Death of Superman storyline, speculators and investors got into comicsthat died down again about 5 years later, and now it tends to be just rarity that makes them valuable. first appearances of characters who later become pivotal end up quite sought-after, but other than that there isn't much to it.
