  1. Two people who had previously been at odds come together and resolve the issue. Can't have that now, can you?
  2. Yes I agree to some extent. The thread certainly is about the failed flip. And I recognize that you did not sell it at a fixed price. But my definition of flipping is buying to sell quickly and at a higher price, which seems to have been met here. It is okay, like I said, no negative connotations to your behavior. You are not a bad guy for this by any stretch. you actually seem like a good guy form what I have observed on the boards. I did not mean to insult and if I did I expressed myself poorly. I hope you forgive me, you dirty flipper!
  3. Don't sell yourself short, you rarely have anything to contribute! Okay, time to walk away from the keyboard!!! You know I love ya' ADAMANTIUM!
  4. That is one of the better pages in the book. If people want to sell any of these awesome images feel free to shoot me a PM!
  5. Don't sell yourself short..you are overly sensitive all the time. Man, that joke never gets old to me!
  6. You clearly do not mean this comment as a shot at Rick, so why take the comments of "people" in that vein? (I know the answer actually, fundamental attribution error and such). Rick has been nice to me and I appreciate the advice he has given when I once sought him out for that purpose. You can hate the game but not the playa! Also, just because something is not wrong don't make it right. People are inconsistent by definition and you, me, Rick and everyone else here are inconsistent in our beliefs at times and we may even have contradictory opinions about the same subject at the same time. Rick seemed to generally take the comments in this discussion without "butthurt" and said something along the lines of the fact that it was a fair topic to be discussed. One disservice is making it only about his behavior and no one elses another is to consider the subject taboo even if generally done respectfully. I am a flipper. I flip comics that I buy cheaply for more than I paid. I buy many for that reason and that reason alone so that I can keep some. That doesn't mean that I don't see fault in that type of behavior (I suffer from the fundamental attribution error as well as the next guy) when the dollar amounts get a bit crazy. When higher dollar amounts are involved perceptions change. And people can have different opinions as well without getting labeled or getting the pitchforks out. Case in point, that AF15 that went from $21K in a purple label to $100K+ in a blue label - lots of varied opinions on that. Discussion about sale, especially in the general discussion thread about sales, should be welcomed and encouraged when done respectfully. But we all draw lines in different places. (I was asked about an earlier comment in a PM and still would only allude to who I was talking about!)
  7. You can do both...buy a bargain and flip it for profit If you buy to Sell it’s a flip some are certainly more egregious than others but flips all the same Flipping doesn’t always have negative connotations and can be a smart move
  8. Revising the item didn’t create the prompts but it allowed me to see them when I couldn’t see them before
  9. It seems to be more complicated than that because I have watchers on items that I could not send an offer to when I looked into it it said stuff about the duration of the listing which is why I directed the other poster to just look at the seller update it seems complicated
  10. all answers in the seller's update! I revised an item and when I chose "revise another item" the option was above the items that I could do this for.
  11. Your calling out a poster who has done nothing wrong according to board rule's...et cetera et cetera.
  12. While I hate the automatic relisting under Good 'Til Cancelled, I love the new feature that allows you to easily send offers to those watching your items (or at least some of them). I sent a bunch of offers this morning, let's see if I love the feature as much later today when none get taken! UPDATE: I sold an item with this new feature..so I like it!
  13. Box office has never been highly correlated with "accolades" so this sentences is just plain asinine. Oscar awards, however, are highly correlated with accolades and it DID win the Oscar for best animated feature.
  14. He apparently would sign stuff sent to him at home for free.
  15. Exactly. The only villain with any screen presence was the woman with half a face.
  16. At a show this weekend a dealer was talking about NM98 and saying that it was the IH181 of its' era. What do the SA dealers say...IH181 is the "xxx" of its era? I want to know the answer to this as well!
  17. How do you do it Malvin? I always figure "this cannot be working for him, surely he will stop with these no reserve auctions!" And yet you keep going. Glad to see it works for you but you are a braver man than I!!!
  18. That was your first mistake!
  19. Kavalkayo'ed! Kavalcade of krap! Or just, you know, KAV!
  20. It is a comics message board and you didn't go with Kavalcade?
