There’s a good chance, AMC will be reporting higher DVR playback gains for “Fear” this week due in part to stronger live competition from the VMA Awards.
http://variety.com/2015/tv/news/amcs-fear-the-walking-dead-declines-in-week-2-1201581803/
Online reviews are scathing and viewers have dropped over 20% in one week.

It's ok, I mean, it's not as bad as the original series. Really, who wants to see a bunch of hillbilly zombies anyway. Every episode I pry to Kirkman for him to kill off the whole horrible cast. No one quality actor in the bunch. In fear the walking dead at least we have some good actors.
If this show doesn't get any better, at least by season 7, I don't think I can bare to watch more than 10 or 15 seasons of this .

This stood out for me.....
304 Enormous V2 1 $3.99 215 Ink 5,318
Seems pretty low for the new no 1, although has sold out and going to second print
Good pick up squarchaos.Sharp eyes there natevegas.
There has been a lot of preparation, progress and talent assembled around the show. In fact, I would go so far as to say-- the less you hear from me the more there is going on.
Whole lot of book progress too. We cracked the 10K sales milestone for #7. It won't show in the Diamond monthly sales report because a good balance of our order are exclusives and don't get counted.
Bumping this post since the 5K numbers are a tad deceiving...

That's a lot of variants assuming the 5318 are all covers a/b. I had imagined a number closer to 1k for all the variants combined.

I bought a book that a seller had listed at a BIN price since January 1 of 2015. What I'm trying to say is that if you are patient as a seller, eventually a buyer will find its way to the book at your asking price.

That thing hanging on that door, is that a large piece of dried up human skin ala buffalo bill from silence of the lambs?

The only thing that still bugs me about that PayPal response is this bit: "But in the long run if the seller is doing these frequently then his PayPal account will be having some issues." Why would he be having issues? Too many friends? What kind of issues?
Probably because if PP finds out a seller is abusing personal in this way, they will get shut down.
Exactly, if someone is abusing it, they will get a warning and may be told that they cannot use personal pp. I know at least 2 dealers who were told they could no longer use it for "excessive use". However, whenever I called about the charity threads and said we were selling books, I got the same response, that it was not a problem and we never had a problem except for the first time, when we hadn't called and someone's account was temporarily locked, until we explained. That's the reason I or someone else calls each time, to prevent that.
If I'm ever involved in another charity thread, I plan to do the same thing, call them and ask.
So although I'm not looking for arguments, I think the word "thief" is a bit strong.
I hope you will atone for your sins at some point. May god have mercy on you.

Question: Can you use the "Personal PayPal" option to pay someone that you consider a friend for a book?
Here are answers from two different PayPal Customer Solutions representatives. 
I guess we can begin arguing definition of "friend" next.
Looks to me like Paypal is complicit in facilitating thievery from itself.

This is a hobby rife with deception, 3% is the least of our impropriety.

It's stealing, never the less...

- Just an amusing story... the eBay member won't have any impact on anyone here but it should be told.A relative of mine is starting to sell on eBay and just added their first person to their block list. She is selling off some of her handbags and jewelry. (Which is fine because she used to ask me to sell it for her.)
Item was around $200
Bidder 1: makes an offer for $130. Declined countered at $150 with, "That is the lowest I will go." Bidder one responds with $140 saying I only want to pay $140. Seller counters again saying, "Sorry, $150"
Bidder 2: Makes an offer of $175 a day after the $150 offer goes out to Bidder 1. Seller accepts while the counter is out. (Remember multiple bidders and make multiple offers all at the same time on eBay)
Bidder 1 launches a tirade of messages about how she is 'owed' the piece and how the seller has a 'moral obligation' to sell it to them because they would have taken it for $150. Bidder 1 claims how the seller is damned and how what goes around comes around and to wait and see.
Seller - relative turns their account over to me as they don't know how to handle this. Please cease and desist from further communication and you are blocked from engaging in all bidding activity with this account. Any further communication will be reported.
Guess what...
Loopdee Loo continues her tirade. Reported.
3 generations of entitlement. It's going to get much worse.
And people wonder why I say what I say.
I know someone who feels entittled to take his time pressing books, these entittled elites, I'm ready to start a revolution and overthrow them.
I don't need a thesis explaining why you take your time. You already explained it to me.

And all I have is one crappy blue label....

Thoughts on this. A buyer agrees to purchase a book.
You send invoice or even before you send invoice buyer sends you a link
to ebay auction asking you to meet that ebay price in the link after he agrees to your price. He has done this to me and another seller now.
What do you guys think about this. I am out not outing the buyer yet just getting some feedback here. Is this now an acceptable way to negotiate? Just to be honest I cancel my transaction because of it. I don't do business with people like that it just strikes me as wrong.
It's distasteful, but I don't think it's wrong for a buyer to try and renegotiate. Of course if you decline to renegotiate I believe he is still liable to the original price. If he reneges on the deal, then at that point there is an issue.

Here's a color illustration from the upcoming NOS4A2/WRAITH Deluxe Edition published by Subterranean Press by Joe Hill. Charles knocking out of the ballpark again...

That's nice! So are the other SOL pieces in your CAF, especially those covers.

Found more goodies today
And one of my coolest Grail & Rarest is this one The Stuff of Legend Boogeyman Edition & the Dark book.
That's a cool book and very unusual to see in blue!!! Most all got qualified grades for the hand written limited edition numbering.

I decided to consolidate those six post of my recectly acquired Stuff of Legend OA. These are my first pieces of Original Art or any art for that matter.

While we're calling out board members...I would like to call out Vintage comics for only having two books listed on his website a few weeks ago. Not that I can afford anything he has for sale... but I still like to look at his "spoon".

Manifest Destiny #1 cgc 9.8 LBCC, finally got one courtesy of Court AKAjjeanius.
I waited and waited until I was finally able to snatch one up on the cheap off Court's ebay store in an auction.
I have another Modern grail I'm pursuing but I'm reticent to share that info currently while I hunt one down.
come on just share

The argument can certainly be made that if an attempt wasn't made to circumvent someone's ignore rule none of this would have happened. That seems like the "launching point" for the whole mess to me.
The fact that the ignore was later removed doesn't change how the dynamics of the deal were played out from the beginning.
Seems to me that this particular point is being overplayed.
If I have someone on ignore, it's because I find them so annoying that I simply don't want to hear them speak, speak to them, or deal with them whatsoever. It's not like I have some deep seeded feeling that I must keep a book I once owned out of their hands.
Is that really what "ignore" means to you all? If I'm selling a book, Boardie A buys it, and after they receive it from me they hand it to Boardie B (who I have on ignore), why should I care? My purpose for ignoring Boardie B was fully served...that is, I didn't have to interact with them.
It's not exactly like it's an action 1 9.0 and you have no choice but to deal with the seller no matter how reprehensible you find him. Where is your dignity MAN!! It's a modern book and eventually another one will pop up and probably cheaper.
You should also apply that logic to sellers that insta-drop their ignore on people when there's a few extra bucks to be made. If they are on ignore have some DIGNITY man leave them there. I suppose you say right...
I'm not sure what that means....
I guess you've never seen "In the Heat of the Night"
Goodness...not for 20 years at least.
I've got to watch that again. One of the great movies of that era.
Did you get the theme there, falsely accused and redemption at the end.
