I was gonna but they got the Flash logo all wrong. It looks more like a snowflake.

Wow, and 44 cents off to boot!!

Excellent!

Pretty sure it was Tommy Elliott, aka HUSH. But certainly there could be a TWIST. Who else hopes Barbara leaves and doesn't come back? Yeah, she does nothing but suck.

I'd sooner own the 80m. well yeah, no brainer well yeah

Honestly, this place would be barren without you. YOU RULE!!! I was going to say the same thing. Easily my new favorite boardie. I like to think of all the dudes in wheelchairs drinking water and laughing at him!

He asked if they were treated the same. I said "yes" because whether he says 15 days or Nov 15th - both are irrelevant when it comes to PL nomination on a Nov 1st takeit/invoice/sale - it is eligible Dec 1st. Payment "default" triggering a seven day clock that supersedes the 30 day standard is what I was proposing - so time payments are pretty clearly tightened up like Roy's case. Using Wombat's example: Today he lists/sells on Nov 1st & has a mostly irrelevant 15 day payment request in his thread, the current scenario would make it PL eligible Dec 1st. In the proposed change, by establishing a payment date or agreeing to one with the buyer, the seller can nominate seven days after the default date (Nov 15th + 7 days) + PM/PL notification period. I'm sleepy and now I gotta do math???

I'm sleepy.

Weird question? They're the same, and they both trump the 30 day period. Trump how? I'm proposing something like that but today's PL eligibility for the Wombat case (in both cases) is based on Nov 1st (Dec 1st PL eligible) "when" he demands or agrees to payment isn't relevant under today's rules. If you say in your sales thread that payment is required in a week, that's a seven day grace period, and it trumps the 30 days. That's how we've been doing this for a while now. Nope! He means "yep!"

Joseph, I've read your posts for years here and know you're a smart guy. Why on earth is this a "great comment" and why do you agree with it? First, the guy doesn't seem to understand Pop Art at all. I mean, his critique about "incompetent reproductions" and "recontextualizing" betray a total ignorance of why people appreciate Lichtenstein and Pop Art. I mean, he's basically advocating that Lichtenstein should have done less to change the source material, perhaps because, as he intimates, he already feels that it's fine art. As per the bolded sections above, he's clearly an admitted "RL-hater" who is aggrieved that the medium we know and love so well (comics) is being "parodied" and "set up [as] straw men in the forms of incompetently reproduced comic panels to attack, as if his point was `look how bad his low art is'". I mean, seriously - how ridiculous is this? RL purposely made his art look worse so thumb his nose at the medium? First, it's not even true - RL's paintings with their bright, bold colors, large size, focus on a singular image and selectively thicker lines and Ben-Day dots are much more impactful and memorable than the originals printed in 4-colors in a tiny publication. Second, if the "RL-haters" actually investigated the real background of Roy Lichtenstein and not just inferred all these terrible things about him because he didn't give enough credit by modern day standards, you'd hear him have nothing condescending or untoward to say about comic artists. In fact, if any of you had gone to see his retrospective last year, a 1960s recording of RL is on the audio guide saying just the opposite - expressing admiration for artists working in the comics field. Oops. I know that Dan (Bronty) was firmly in the RL as gypsy, tramp and thief camp a while back. But, instead of just insisting that the world is flat, he challenged his worldview and at least came to appreciate why others like myself have tremendous admiration for him, even if it still wasn't exactly his cup of tea. I mean, it's clear that there are pre-conceived notions among many here, several of which, like RL thumbing his nose at comic artists, are simply things that are inferred biases that are demonstrably untrue. That people continue to cling to these falsehoods despite being presented with these facts just shows that they are invested in the idea that, "we are comic book fans, and our own artists and medium have been slighted by this man, and thus we must oppose and fight him at all costs". They are egged on by people who have come to believe that all Modern and contemporary art is a sham. For the latter, there may truly be no hope, but I hope those who have either been sold a bill of goods or who have incorrectly inferred certain things by not having all the facts, will challenge their worldview as Dan did.

For # 1 - No under the current rules, if you say payment is due in 3 days in your sales thread you still have to wait 30 days from the date of the sale if you wish to pursue a PL nomination - today many people are just washing their hands of the buyer & choosing to sell the book to someone else rather than hold onto it & provide their slow _paying_buyer a clear path to resolution by keeping the original book available. For # 2 - yes,currently. I don't think so. #1 overrides the 30 day rule. Otherwise by saying you need payment soon, you're just giving extra time!

I just wrote this in a PM... The 30 days is because life happens. That's why it was created. It's a grace period we give each other. It could work another way, but this is the way it works. If we don't want to give a 30 day grace period we need to state that specifically before the sale is completed. This is true for straight sales and time payments. So yeah, I hear you. Dude is supposed to pay on the 15th. If he doesn't, he failed. And it seems like saying "due on the 15th" could mean "due in the 15th so no 30 day grace period." But historically it hasn't. We give this grace period for failure, and need to be up front if we don't want to follow that rule. I guess another way to look at it is that, by default, payment for regular sales is due that day, with a 30 day grace period. Saying "payment due within three days" means that grace period is three days long, not 30. Does that make sense? The more I write about it, the less sense it makes to me!

How do you figure? They set up a payment plan and the first payment isn't even due yet. It's 30 days from the point where one of the parties doesn't hold up their end, unless a different time frame is set. In the case of a seller's stating payment is due in three days, that three days supersedes the default 30. In the case of time payments, it's still 30 days from the point of failure, unless stipulated otherwise. If Roy had said something like "Payments start on 11/15 and you have a three day grace period to make each payment," then it'd be three days not 30. As far as I know he didn't, so it's 30 days. Dig?

No. It's 30 days unless there are other specific terms in the first post of the sales thread. So, if you say three days and the buyer tacitly agrees by throwing up the it's three days, not 33 days.

Awesome!!

Way to kill the thread RMA!

I am curious how to handle this is a PL offense as we're nearly at one month with no communication from the buyer, and although money has not started to change hands (it was due anytime now) it's starting to look like the seller has no intention of following through. 3 unanswered messages over 4 weeks is a pretty strong signal to send. If you agreed to time payments and the time period hasn't even started yet, you can't put him on the PL. You can certainly get your Spidey Sense tingling though.
