I keep playing the lottery so maybe? 

 

I've resigned myself as that is a book I'll likely never own. 

This is an unacceptable answer.

But Yea I’ll miss the shows there too.

Update!  Well the Scammer won! 

I thought there was something weird when my ROM sold in mere minutes after cancelling the first order.  So the "next" person gets it, says there's a defect and wants $40 refund! 

I knew something was off when both sellers had very similar handles and the same first name.

I sent the refund because I didn't want to go through the hassle of a return and it being damaged.  

He won!

Now I see they are in fact the very same person!  I wish Ebay had a function where I could've seen the name before!

Scott McKirgan is his name.  How many Ebay handles does he 

Just went through something similar.  I ripped Ebay as I reported each of the scammer’s new handles.   
 

I tried to explain to them that’s a big flaw in the system and that they should take steps to prevent multiple IDs.  At least prevent making several IDs within a week.  As usual my advice fell on deaf ears. 

   
Aaaaand again

And the new IDs and threats continue.  Add this one as well.

Ok heres a new one.   Add  2br_not2b.yourself  & his brand brand new ID me.myself.i4ever

He won one of my auctions,  EBAY flagged it canceled the transaction.   I missed that email and went to ship it.   He sent a crazy email about how I have to ship out the package immediately (it was packed the day after the auction waiting for UPS pickup)

I Called Ebay only because I noticed they had removed the listing.  EBAY said it was canceled due to his fraudulent activity and his money would be refunded.  I ran and grabbed the package before it was picked up. 

Since this morning the guy has sent 6 more messages calling ME a fraud.  

Add that loon to your Blocked list.

That’s probably the reason that CGC grades it qualified. Since it’s exchanging parts by damaging another copy of the same, it’s not exactly restoring. One could say it’s..

Saw it last night and was pleasantly surprised.  Mostly because I had zero expectations due to all the bashing (that includes Scarletts) and the fact that I never cared about the Taskmaster character.  
 

Could it have been better? Sure, but there was a ton of action and some great chemistry between the actors.  Also I was in the IPIC theater so it might’ve helped that I had a few drinks.  
 

Very nice copies. Those cases are awful though. Wish they would update them to match the sturdiness of the comic case.  Maybe Blackstone would listen to my suggestion

They will just grade using facetime. 

Can we apply this to shows when I need a witness?

Jackson Bostwick - This guy played the live action Captain Marvel / Shazam from the 70’s. It was a hotel show in Louisville (same one where I met Margot Kidder who was quite a handful). Bostwick had a hand made sign on his table that said “ALL AUTOGRAPHS $20.”  Pretty simple and easy to understand, think I.  I hand him a couple of Shazam #1 and $40. He goes - “Oh, no, those are $50 each.”  I said what about “all autographs $20?” He goes, “that doesn’t mean for collectibles. Those are separate.” So I’m standing there, slack-jawed, trying to imagine what type of SNL “The Californians” style logic gymnastics must be going on in his bag of cats mind to allow this. The irresistible force of my stunned incredulity smashed against the immovable object of his illogical avarice until finally he spoke “I have to do it because of EBay, man.”  He got his $100.

I imagine you walking around the conventions wearing an Ebay T-shirt.

I've only been accused of that with Good Ol' Walt Simonson. NYCC 2011 Hero Initiative booth.  Walt was doing sketches for $200.

Everyone seemed to be getting busts.  Thor holding the hammer, Thor chucking the hammer etc.  I walk up and say "make my Thor angry"..... Now of course, there's the mistake.  I wasn't specific. I should've said "I want Thor, arm extended into the air standing on a cliff with lightning coming out of Mjolnir"  I hadn't learned to be greedy with my sketch cover requests yet.  He proceeds to draw Thor's head similar to what you would normally get for free from him, maybe slightly worse.  Now (even then) I didn't really mind because I love supporting the Hero Initiative but I had seen him personalizing sketches.  So for $200, I don't want to see my stupid name on the artwork so I politely requested not to personalize it.   He looks me up and down * pauses * then says "ahhhhh, Ebay huh?"  I said No of course not (in my mind I was like.... well now yea)

Surprisingly, I still have the sketch!

They deal in big books. Aside from the books, both are very good people. 

Thanks for clearing that up. I’ve been wondering where she was getting everything from. Her claims of “hustling” never made any sense.

This all reminds me of another commission piece of a monster that someone received from......Bill Sienkiewicz......I beleive.  

I just spent the last twenty minutes searching for it in the forum and on the internet with no luck.  Does anyone who doesn't stink at the search function want to try?

I can't remember all of the details, but I think the owner of it may have initially been happy with it........until someone pointed out that what initially looked like a sketch of a monster, was actually a disguised peni5 and scrotum. 

Talk about a big F/U to a customer......it was one of the funniest things I've seen in here. 

 

Is that the rat looking monster with the P e n I s nose? 
 

I just ran a search on google. I’m not going to post what I found because I will definitely be banned.  It’s a naked Sienkiewicz holding a gun in a most offensive pose.  Jeez

i respect Bills talent and art but sometimes that guy is waaaaay off.  

That reminds me of the Stan Lee cockroach. It’s legendary at this point. 
 

it’s true. Things can always be worse. I realize these are first world problems.

well you also used the L word.
Trust me, the post will get reported and you will get a strike.

Haha.  Well I didn’t say anything bad about it.  
 

I’ll consider it a social experiment.
