  1. This guy doesn't need the HOS... he will be remembered permanently and rest assured any thread he tries to buy or sell from will more than likely be bombarded. I hate that Toast lost bank on this deal. It's usually always the nice boardies that get the most shaft. I sincerely wish RR would have just taken his flip profit and kept quiet... and not add more insult to the injury
  2. I hate being reminded about that book. I begged my mom to buy me one of those for my birthday (one showed up in the classified ads in Denver) back in 1984 - it was a publisher copy (I didn't know what that was at the time) listed for sale for $150, and I'll never forget what my mom said: "$150 for a book? I don't think so." My mom also prohibited me from seeing Iron Maiden on the World Slavery Tour when I was 11 years old, which I will hold against her for all time. Definitely pay off some bills with it http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&LH_Complete=1&_sacat=0&_nkw=dark+tower+gunslinger&_sop=16
  3. I've sold hundreds of raw and slabbed books here and I'm pretty sure that I can count dealer sales on one hand. I've also bought books from boardies and resold them down the line, but 4-5x the price? Yeah, that's incorrect most of the time. I say 'most' because in two years of selling, I was able to do that once with a book I bought on the boards and subbed afterwards. One time. Not multiple times. Not all the time. Once. I will buy a book on the potential to upgrade my own or resell, but 4-5x the price is hilariously optimisitic. I might sell for 20% more and really hot books might go for 30-40% more if I get a book bought right. That's pretty far from your 400-500% that you claim to have seen here on so many occassions in your 6-month membership that you are surprised lynch mobs haven't killed comic book collectors in the streets. I'm not a dealer. I'm a collector who likes to buy and sell books to build up my own collection by upgrading. I don't make millions. I don't make thousands. It's a hobby and pasttime. There are lots of people on here that do that very same thing, and making it sound as if we're partying it up on our private yachts because we bought a NM98 for $80 and sold it for $100 is pretty naive to how the selling community works here. Balls is just mad that he's not making the big bucks here like the rest of us. I took my profits from the last two years selling Dark Tower hardbacks and bought this little beauty ...
  4. I like it so far... and it looks like I'm not alone. Is it hokey in parts, heck yes. Were there some hokey parts in the Avengers movie? A couple. Definitely a few hokey parts in Firefly too since this is Joss's baby. Give it a few episodes to catch it's footing. Can't wait for the GOTG, A2, and other forthcoming Marvel movie tie-ins. I'd say this show is going to keep us coming back just for those little tidbits of info http://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/marvel-s-agents-of-s-h-i-e-l-d-/
  5. ... and for God's sake give that grid some COLOR ! Pink's for pajamas and Boscoe's wallet... not super cool threads like the Probation Thread. Great job btw ! xxx ooo Rupp

  7. Just finished my first transaction with Andrew and it went as smooth has puppy hair from start to finish I hope to deal with him again in the future... especially when he's throwing money at me for my stuff xxx ooo Rupp
  8. Actually you do - just go here http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1646534&fpart=27 Go to the last page and check names. Your name is still on. Can you link to whomever said you were good? I or others would be happy to remove you if you can show anyone who nominated you says you are OK now. we should start adding injured parties/nominators to the probation list so that people on the list know who to contact when they want to make amends. 50s Horror Buff (added by thehumantorch 05/24/12) Very good idea. Might as well add the $$$ amount lost too. Might come in handy when it's time to make amends
  9. The Grunt Bakery is back open for business as we speak over in Mixed Including... - LOTS OF GOLDEN AGE READER AT $3 EACH - 5 OR SO GENTLE GIANT LARGE SIZE STAR WARS FIGURES AT COST - GROOT - SLABS - PICTURES OF MY NAKED DOG
  10. I've got to come visit Lone Tree sometime. Oh wait... kudos. He came, he saw, he purchased and he received. Easy as one, two, three... as always. I love Lone Tree... even if that is his Indian name xxx ooo Rupp
  11. Why let a few bad apples end all board sales? There are a LOT of other threads more detrimental to your health than the sales thread section
