Mark 1

Can you explain why you think that common sense demanded that? Knee jerk reaction to a price you think is high, and common sense are not necessarily the same thing, wouldn't you agree? Yet there you were, pants around ankles, in full squat in his thread. Are there any other pet peeves you have that you feel deserve swift retribution? A guy is in his thread, with his own books, not being accused of doing anything wrong according to the guidelines of this forum, and yet something as simple as an asking price is good enough to blast away? Wow. Wouldn't the book NOT selling be good enough? Or is it the need to feel like you know more than the seller? Once the book doesn't sell, he'll know his price is too high. Doing what you are doing is a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy, no? Who are these unknowing people with $5k to spend on a single book? If they found a way to make $5k to burn, how is that they need a protector from someone that hasn't lied, or cheated, and whose only crime seems to be setting a price that seems above market? Where's the line drawn, 10% premium over guide, 50%, 100%? Is it just a gut feeling, or something actually thought out? We are getting further and further from a viable and defensible position vis-a-vis this silly and unjustified threadpooping. The seller did include this in his thread, in post #1: What's the danger again to the buyer? Can you explain it? If you are accusing the seller of something other than just having a price you think is too high, please elaborate because I can't see another issue so far. So to simplify: "You can ask what you want for your books except in those situations where you can't ask what you want for your books?"* * I'll decide when that time is. When a price is in "outer space" the market will determine whether it sells or sits...that's how market scrutiny works. I have owned pedigree books where I have gotten 5-7 times guide. Do you know why? Because a guide is just that "a guide", not the bible, not the law, and not binding. If everyone priced their books by guide, prices would never move...and all the books we love would still be 10-12cents. I'd love that as a buyer, but it's ANYTHING BUT common sense. I don't have the time or patience to respond to all your points or questions. We don't see eye to eye. He didn't do anything technically wrong yet the intent seemed questionable. He new the grade the forum gave it yet he didn't include that grade and reflect a price that resembles anything near that. If I'm wrong for calling him out on it...I apologize. That's my second apology. I won't provide a third.

I agree completely with what you say, but at what point do we allow common sense and decency to go out the window? Joey, you hit the nail on the head. It would be against common sense not to say anything about that price You guys know me on here...I don't threadcrap. I feel his asking price was laughable and deserved to be called out on it. Sorry some think what I did was out of line. We don't want this forum to turn into eBay with sales to take advantage of the unknowing (not saying this seller is doing that but interesting the grade wasn't mentioned although he had it graded in the forum). While most of us here know better...there could be a lurker or whoever that thinks that the book raw could be a higher grade and buy it.... It would need to be at least 9.0 graded for a 5k price tag...that book was in the grading forum and the average was 7.5 or so....a $1,800 book on a good day. And, while we can ask what we want for the book...we should also be subjected to scrutiny if the price is in outer space. A premium is one thing...3x guide to me is a problem from anyone and not just a noob. Sorry.

In the interest of commenting on the obvious...the price on that Avengers 4 is seriously out of line. It's one thing trying to get a premium for a hot book...this is something different. Sorry to post this but I feel in some way to protect any possible unknowing people this is wrong...

I just ordered my first SA book from them (JIM 87) and it arrived quickly, packed well and as described. I would definitely buy from them again.

Very nice and congrats remodeling after the flood. Might want to get those comic boxes off the floor by a couple of feet...just in case it happens again

Two of my favorite covers later in the run. Nice!

Here's another one I had as a kid. It went with my Stretch Armstrong....

I know, right! As a kid I thought that it was fun (probably for a day or so) but it sure looks insanely creepy.

Did you guys ever play with Hugo - Man of a thousand faces? Looking at it now...very creepy...back then it was fun!

Amazing books! I love these early MMs

Good Lord I forgot all about this game... I played it daily for a whole summer when I got it Me too! I can still hear that noise that happened when you scored

Maybe, if you shared your experience in that thread, you would have been taken a little more seriously. I thought the same thing.

What kind of resolution would you want if not money? Do you want frank to come to your house and give you hand relief? A back rub? You are a big dummy.

I'm reading the Steve Job biography. Really good so far. Almost finished.

Curious how much that would be worth....

I love the pre hero JIMs. Nice!

I recently added images for all my slabs. They are all SA and here is ther link to my gallery. Enjoy! Click the gallery tab http://comics.www.collectors-society.com/PublicUserHome.aspx?PeopleID=98540
