  1. It's interesting to read the thread without being involved. People really can't see themselves. Those who criticize community, do nothing to foster it but feel obligated to repeatedly point out ways in which it is not. Do something instead of making snarky comments. The same group of members post in sequence, which is literally quantifiable by simply reviewing the prior posts, but don't see the behavior as trolling, rather it is validating general sentiment. Understandably members have friends they want to defend or side with or attach themselves to, which is perfectly reasonable, it's the inability to acknowledge that fact that's mind boggling. Furthermore they are quick to point out the trolling of others which is off the hypocrisy charts. Also, Adonis has repeatedly failed to ship in a timely manner which is insensitive and irresponsible. He has acknowledged this fact. He has said he will try harder, he has also said this in the past. We get it, we are aware. If someone wants him on the PL nominate him. If someone wants him on the HOS nominate him. If not, it simply seems like grudges and butthurt. Like my girl Elsa says "Let it go".
  2. George was a pleasure to deal with. Book was packed perfectly.
  3. Upon further reflection I don't think I'll ship it out. I'll take a strike in a thread that's since been put out of its misery. I hate to punish comicalgems but someone must pay for this insolence. Suck it Shel!
  4. Since this thread failed I'm sure everyone would like something other than porn to entertain themselves with. Unfortunately the drama doesn't exist, so back to furiously masturbating. (Thumbs u
  5. I don't think I ever got this That's becuase its sitting in my office. It's boxed, which is stage one. Stage two will be when I get my lazy azz to the PO.
  6. Fantastic! That is how these types of threads should be done.
  7. The proof is in the pudding; this thread died becuase of people being greedy.
  8. It feels like buying pets.com stock circa 1999. The prices are moving too fast based on silly factors such as a character being revealed in end credits or just the possibility that a series may be made into a TV show or movie. There seems to be no real justification for the drastic price movements outside of the current popularity of superhero everything. I'm still rocking my snap bracelet but trends are scary. I think selling into this market and building up a war chest for the future is the way to go.
  9. I agree Swick, it's run it's course. Good job while it lasted.
  10. What, that he only turned on a light to list books here, but turned it off to list on ebay? Roy's a pragmatist.
  11. +1 I figured with that many new posts there would be something actually occurring, alas it was 80 comments with 45 of them I didn't waste time toggling.
  12. Based on the number of transactions and problems you seem to have a fine sense of grading. I would simply avoid the PGM thread and use your own skills. If you have been overgrading tighten up. March forward.
  13. If you think spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on pulp and ink is ridiculous, then doing the same on sneakers will blow your mind. As long as no one is collecting socks... Some people pay for stinky socks... I always knew you Canadians were a freaky bunch. But hey, different strokes for different folks.

  15. So does this negate the fact that in 24 out of 28 PGM threads he then bumped up the grade on Ebay or simply mitigate it? With over 3,400 sales to have 5 negatives is not an issue to me as you can't please everyone. The situation seems to be why ask the opinions of the board to then grade bump when selling elsewhere? It opens him up to being accused of taking advantage of less knowledgeable collectors. I didn't say it negated anything, so don't put words in my mouth. I simply related my experience from the one purchase I've made from him. Take from that what you will. I didn't say that, I asked if you felt your experience negated or mitigated what others say he did.
  16. You are a glutton for punishment Swick to keep this thing going.

  18. I'll agree with this. It's the constant, no one likes what I post, I'm not participating, until the offer is high dollar enough and then magically an offer materializes. Don't keep saying things and then do the opposite hours later. It causes the board detectives to get a hard on and look for issues.
  19. This thread can't help but poison itself.
  20. Bump the PM with your info my good man.
