  1. Back in 1998, I was serious to open the comic book store in Illinois but too many roadblocks were ahead of me. My dad is very good with money and understood the business functionally and structurally. He has excellent business credits and was ready to support me. Only two main things prevented the privilege of opening the business were the office space rental for 2400 sq feet and Diamond Comic Distribution subscription. The space rental was about $1800 per month and DCD's minimum requirement was $250 per month. We were kind of too late to run the comic book store. The best time to start the business was 1986. I am 12 years too late. Too many greedy banks keep increasing the rental fees every year. Now, that same office space rental was increased to $3400 a month and is still vacant. DCD is still screwing up the businesses. I would see why so many comic book stores were out of the business and have seen many vacant office spaces out there. The greedy took the thrill out of us. I am happy that I didn't open the business but I missed the thrills in 1980's.
  2. New seller ID has only 72 feedback and same scam plans. Can we flood every item with reports? We can report with all former seller IDs and explanations of his scamming works in past. Here...we have plenty evidences that we can show eBay reps or fraud team. How's about one board who is a lawyer works in DC? Should we contact him so he will fight for it? I forget the board name.
  3. So Marvel did that in 1990's before the Internet Age. When the current US president leaves, the business world will be in chaos for a while before the economy will be stable again.
  4. Two bidders with ZERO feedback bid 64 times???? Only one bidder with 300+ bid once. Too obvious! The same book is relisted. Shilled again!
  5. Ask someone to open those magazines for you. Leave them opened for few more days. Test them if you have any reactions or ask them to detect any smells. Wear the masks to handle them. Just a precaution. Maybe someone will test each magazine if there is any foul smell. You know what to do with them.
  6. Leave them in the garage. Open the books. Allow them for few days. See what happens.
  7. I think the same thing to you. We crashed few times or got some glitches. Damned those. echu has no problems in many venues. Maybe you should move to Isle Royale and you would be in a real "Dance with Wolves" life.
  8. Welcome to the Boards. Learn the lessons. Peace brother!
  9. Yeah. You may have an advantage of open water with few interruptions. I live in Chicago with too many WiFi around and interruptions too.
  10. Are you using WiFi or cable? Mine is WiFi.
