This is first time to do it. Please add two bidders/buyers on the blocked user list: doingitright2010 - No response to few emails, opened case for one week, one more email (I tried to warn the buyer before closing the case) and still no response. I finally closed the case two days later. One day later, he flipped me off with profanity. Finally I got first response and explained. He still pissed me off with other profanity. I blocked him out. sidetracked77 - Unresponsive. I closed the case for the unpaid item. He came back to bid my same book. I removed his bid then blocked him out. He changed his ID. I forgot his first ID name.

No newsstands Oh man! I sold them away too long time ago. Congrats on your instinct that Gambit will be in a movie. You got it!

I guessed those employees were not reliable.

Anyone who climbed on Jacob's ladder fell off when you decided to quit reading UXM. To anyone still read that will go on on the ladder to the heaven.

It looked like the combination of Swamp Thing and Cry for Dawn.

How did I end up here? I blamed upon Watchmen movie for bringing me back to the comic book world and HERE! I got hooked ever since.

Before the announcement of Deadpool being in the TV show, most NM raw copies were sold in the range of $35 to $60. Now, it gets expensive. Why not you grab those raw copies of ASM #361?

WHAT?? Me TOO!

Yawwning. Too long!

Very strict N00B rule!

Are they selling them?

Hamlet flipped every page and said, "Words, words, words." He didn't get anything after his father died but his uncle took the kingdom. Russ Heath did all the works. Liechtenstein swiped his panel and got recognized. Russ got nothing and Roy took his glory.

What simple logo did she create that sold for over a million dollars? My wife corrected me. She did the photograph for Sam's Club. Her company got the account with Sam's Club that went over 4-6 million dollars. She didn't get the credit. She is no longer with the company. Four founders sold the company to Flower's Baskets for over $50 million dollars. It always sucks when you did something and got nothing. Sweat, blood and exhaust for nothing.

We have learned from many lessons. My wife who was the graphic designer created one simple logo that went selling over 1 million dollar. She got nothing but paychecks. That panel became DC's property so Russ Heath got nothing but the paychecks. DC didn't do anything about Lichtenstein's painting. The painting was done in 1963. Ever since, no one ever mentioned about the possibly lawsuit. Quoted from Whaam! - Wiki: Critics have raised concerns over Lichtenstein's appropriation, in that he directly references imagery from other sources in Whaam! and other works of the period. Some have denigrated it as mere copying, to which others have countered that Lichtenstein altered his sources in significant, creative ways. In response to claims of plagiarism, the Roy Lichtenstein Foundation has noted that publishers have never sued for copyright infringement, and that they never raised the issue when Lichtenstein's comics-derived work first gained attention in the 1960s. Other criticism centers on Lichtenstein's failure to credit the original artists of his sources; Ernesto Priego implicates National Periodicals in the case of Whaam!, as the artists were never credited in the original comic books. That is how the business does.

Damn! I won't have the office in 12 or 13 more years until my both kids are in college.

My books are piled up big and bigger....waiting for the time turnarounds gets faster.

Sorry, let me clarify. Yes, I agree he's been popular for a long time...consistently popular. I was a big fan when the issue originally hit the shelves. But "blew up"...$400 to $1,000, a new post about NM98 popping up every other day, comparing NM98 to IH 181, etc....all within the past few months. This is not a valid comparison. Look at the census numbers for NM 98. Almost a little over HALF of all submitted are in 9.6 or better. These prices have to be unsustainable over the long term. I could be wrong, but I hope not as this does not paint a healthy picture for the vinatge comic book market as a whole. There is nothing wrong with steadily increasing prices, but here is the issue: there is a direct coorelation between movie announcements and speculation. It has never been this bad before. There is also a direct correlation between the number of copies that exist and the number of people who own those copies who will tell newbies it is valuable, (thumbs u Speculation at its finest. Then when the book falls in price and these speculators have moved on to their next loss...er, 'golden conquest' (at least in their eyes); these same individuals will be here telling these people that "you should buy books you enjoy and not for investment purposes." Ironically if they did that from the start they would have an AWESOME collection and would NOT be paying four figures for a common as day 90's key. The Deadpool looks ugly without the mask. I am in a great shape and don't mind to wear the mask to conceal my thin grey hair. I definitely look cool in that costume. I remembered there were about five LCSs in my hometown in about five mile radius in early 1970's. There were many local drugstores too. There were too many 70's comic books. I didn't bother to buy them (actually I didn't have money by that time). Now, 70's comic books are 40 years old and the prices have gone through the ceiling. I am sure that 90's comic books will be turned 40 by 2030 (oh boy I will be an old man). Always wondered what was the value for Hulk 181 in 1984 and 1994 before the millennium?

I still can't believe people do this. Believe it. We wouldn't have this thread if people weren't people. I dunno what it's going to take for people to change into decent humans, but hope is all we got. And not taking scammers BS. Classic screwups. Few times, I asked them immediately after they won my items when I saw their feedbacks were ZERO. One of them didn't have the credit card or PayPal. I sent my request to cancel the transaction. The winner ultimately agreed to cancel it. THAT is the example of the classic screwup. I closed two more cases: they never relied or paid so they got strikes. One with zero and other with 150+. I see more weird going on eBay lately.

Just playing devil's advocate here, because I once bought a lot off of eBay that showed as shipped but never arrived. It could have been delivered to the wrong address. (Not suggesting the shipping address was wrong, just that the post office may have dropped it in the wrong place.) Blame on PayPal's loopholes. Always issues with the addresses. I have to google their addresses before I ship the books.

Its not a buying and selling group? The first post on the main page is the site owner running a raffle. Plenty of buying and selling goes on there, either through private sales, ebay listings or via links to the buy/sell/trade sub-forum on the blowout cards forum. Also at the site's owners and mods crapping on Indy for posting links to his external site where he features book speculation. That guy has made hundreds if not thousands of dollars for many members of that group. Similarly linguini and larry have been treated like garbage there, as has that topher guy from investcomics. But yes please tell me again how that board is entirely credible. Oh wait, you're a moderator there...don't even bother. I'm a moderator over there. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have, because this garbage you wrote is so far off base that it's comical. Let me address some of your nonsense here. Anyone that joins our groups knows we have fun mostly and just b.s. about comics and speculation. i've gone on the record about what nonsense that wolverine test tube spec was, but fact of the matter is a member there pointed out relevant info no matter how silly i and others think it is. also it didn't start to take off on ebay until whoever the hack is over at bleeding cool boosted the info a few days later and wrote a story on it. we have fun over there and the cynical cry babies like you are kept to a minimum. we use real names over there and a lot of great relationships are made. it's a hell of a group. people share stories and photos of comics and their collections. it's a great source of information. indy/pinky got grief for posting his blog link cause he didn't ask for permission first and just started spamming it, it nothing more nothing less. jimmy, dakoit, hokness, tony chu, topher, and others are welcomed with open arms and are freely allowed to post links to their blogs. all they had to do was ask first and make sure it was okay. indy/pinky i'm sure will be able to do the same with a little communication and forewarning in the future. also what's wrong with having a b/s/t forum? that's what makes this hobby fun is it not? i've met some great people and made some awesome trades. Raffles are just something that is done for fun every so often, and most members get a kick out of it. Winning a CGC 9.6 Batman Adventures #12 for a 20.00 gamble? the deal with the scalped issue is a joke at this point. we can't help what people do with the info, no more than members here can help what happens to spec info posted. all the site owner did was link a comment that latour made about working with the aaron on scalped that lead to them coming up with the idea for southern bastards. no one ever said hey look it's the 1st app of earl tubbs. old news. you sure know a lot about our groups so you must lurk and troll over there often. what is the most funny is that all the guys you mention like jimmy and larry post over there often and have a good time. they have mentioned numerous times how much more they enjoy it over there than here for the facts i mentioned above. it's funny you say larry is treated like there, when it would impossible for him to get more mess than he does in these forums. we've even had some talks with larry about doing our own variant for the groups just for fun. we've raised money for members, and picked up members when they were down. we've ran drives to send comics to our troops, and are always looking for cool things to contribute and help the hobby. not sure what your vendetta is about the group but get over yourself dude. feel free to ask me any questions you got. Still hot http://www.ebay.com/itm/Wolverine-80-1994-Marvel-1st-Appearance-X-23-Test-Tube-First-VF-NM-Rare-L-K-/151429382550?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item2341e50196 I compared this Wolverine #80 (Test Tube) /NYX-23 (full grown woman) to Uncanny X-Men #201(baby Nathan Summers) /New Mutants #87 (Cable).

Still slow for all fast tracks.

Gotta move to Akron... No, you really don't want to. What happened to Akron? Dying town?

Anaconda is still filled and wanted to be left alone until the digestion is complete. Nice provocation.

Greedy

They won't. Also they won't show the back covers. Much more, they won't update their website. They are simply stubborn. I wonder how much of the scans shown is dependent on what the seller gives them to use? In the case of the book I bought, it had huge front and back cover scans, and a nice pre cgc scan of the interior pages before grading. But I agree about updating their website, that will never happen. . . . nor will book sales ever appear on GPA I talked the reps from GPA once. Clink is not partnered with GPA.
