Just getting caught up. I missed a lot here. Happy Sunday y'all.

There are too many ways to IP mask or use other computers. Too bad this piece of human debris found his way here.

Out the p@@@y.

Toast's Head and Wallet Trauma Sale Toast is in a pickle and you can help help out right here.

Can someone PM me the meltdown? Thanks.

Again, do Con's have a security search at the door?

Bunky, my pleasure and glad you are enjoying those books. (thumbs u

Just thought I'd share that joker-fish promised and promised to pay me and...yep...not a dime received after multiple e-mails. I was going to give him a phone call, but all I'll get are more promises to pay. The guy should write an excuse book, but he'd just give the publisher excuses about why the book isn't finished.

Where's the love from my fellow boardies? I under grade books, give great deals, and yet

Just finished up The Making of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. A great series of books by JW Rinzler, author of The Making of Star Wars. Now I have to wait for The Making of ROTJ to come out. Tons of behind the scenes stuff for the Star Wars nut. Considered reading The Road again, but twice is enough for now. Dark, depressing and one of the best books I've ever read.

Just got through reading The Definitive Making of Star Wars, and am now reading The Making of The Empire Strikes Back.

Don't know if this made here or not. Just saw it in the GPA Newsletter. I hope they tear this slinking ball of dirt up. Feds: New York man enlisted thieves, sold comic book loot on eBay By Associated Press Thursday, November 4, 2010 ROCHESTER, N.Y. — A western New York businessman enlisted thieves and sold on eBay a huge assortment of their stolen merchandise, including vintage comic books believed taken from a collector who was roughed up and later died of a heart attack, authorities said Wednesday. Rico Vendetti, 41, owner of a tavern and a restaurant in Rochester, was charged this week with racketeering and transporting stolen goods across state lines. The items ranged from razor blades and over-the-counter drugs to power tools and GPS devices with an estimated retail value surpassing $1 million. "He gave these various people lists of things he was willing to buy and they went out and stole them almost on order," said Tony Bruce, an assistant U.S. attorney in Buffalo. The FBI began investigating Vendetti after he was among six people charged with burglary in a July 5 break-in at the home of Homer Marciniak, 77, who lived alone in small-town Medina, midway between Rochester and Buffalo. Medina police say thugs punched Marciniak in the face and tied him up before dawn, then made off with more than 400 comic books valued at $40,000 to $100,000 that he’d been collecting since boyhood. After getting stitches at a hospital, Marciniak died of a heart attack that afternoon. In federal court Tuesday, Vendetti was ordered held until a bail hearing Friday. His lawyer, Joseph Damelio, did not return repeated calls for comment. Since mid-October, authorities in Orleans County have charged Vendetti and five other Rochester residents, including two men picked up Friday in Miami, with first-degree burglary, county District Attorney Joseph Cardone said. The federal charges reopened the possibility that Marciniak’s body might be exhumed to determine whether his heart attack presented itself during the break-in. "If we are able to lodge more serious charges, it’s certainly something we’re open to doing," Cardone said. Authorities initially said the men would not face murder charges. Medina’s police chief, Jose Avila, said Marciniak told him at the hospital that he’d visited shops in Rochester to find out how much his comic books were worth. "He kept them in good condition," Avila said. "They’re all vintage, from early 1940s right up to ’60s and ’70s. They were worth a lot of money but, to Homer, they were worth a lot more. They were his pride and joy. We believe that he looked into selling but he just couldn’t part with them." Federal officials said Vendetti has long enlisted people willing to rip off consumer goods from grocery stores, pharmacies, cars and homes in return for payoffs, including a promised $3,000 to steal Marciniak’s comics. One operator alone estimated that, over the last six years, he sold goods to Vendetti worth $600,000 to $700,000, Bruce said. Three comic books listed for sale on Vendetti’s website matched those on an itemized list kept by Marciniak, one of them a rare 1948 edition featuring the Human Torch, a superhero of the Marvel Comics universe. "You can infer they were the same comic books," Bruce said.
