  1. Might not have been the best decision. But, there is a hook, line, sinker element to the thread. The sinker usually shows up after much banter, and then.....I don't want to dEal with this. GOT ANY MONEY SO I CAN JUST GET OUT OF TOWN?... or similar. I was ok until I saw the sinker post.
  2. Concerning the Estate Trust issue just brought up...the OP now has a duty to disclose.
  3. My opinion is that it is the right thing to do, especially as he is a legal representative for the host, and I would think it is very important to the host to keep their customers fully informed, and head off rumors without fact. It is refreshing to see a business entity do so. Not to mention that Mr. Zaid does have respect from the collecting community and participates in same. The other entity(ies) in the legal issue could do the same, and should, but hasn't/haven't), that I am aware of.. I find that more curious. Just my opinion.
  4. I demand this tread be moved, like the other count thread was. This thread does not have even 1 Mr.Twonky appearance. WTF?
  5. I think you are misunderstanding your posts, but no matter. It is not that important, really. While I understand....or I think I do...the use of quotes with the word "Guaranteeing", there is none, that I am aware of. That is not to say there is a business ethic assumption of same, but that is entirely different. It is an opinion. Who grades the TPG Graders, or the level of expertise of same?
  6. Anyway, disclosure of all relevant information is important, I think, before a blanket position of the right price can be determined.
  7. I posted this, as a previous example of the position stated, but it disappeared. I must have pushed the wrong key or something. Anyway, this is the post that seems to be a different take on the recent position, and is confusing, to me.
  8. but would be happy to own this Detective #33 if the price was right. Isn't that the point, though? What is the right price, if the the original condition is not known or disclosed, the amount of restoration is not known or disclosed, and there is no estimate of the grade before restoration or percentage of restoration? Reviewing your earlier posts and comments concerning the lawsuit and merits of same, your present comment is confusing, to me. Nothing wrong with that. But, how would you begin to determine the right price? Yes, I know, what a willing buyer and seller agree to, and all that. However, that is not what you are conveying. Remember, a TPG is involved.
  9. I saw the Gandhi movie. He didn't have tattoos then.
  10. I remember every time somebody gave me a like thing. It is less than 3 and more than zero. Now the confused/snarky comment stuff, I don't remember to much, but in my defense, I don't think anybody can remember 6 digits Funny how that works.
  11. I have enjoyed and appreciated your posts. This one has a particular fondness, to me. Memories.
  12. I will be teaching a Capitalism Class at 1:30 PM today, for those that do not understand the concept. Please take particular note of the Banana endorsement.....
  13. That is unfortunate. Any time a competitor fails, especially a small business entity, and the reasons for the decline/failure/lack of competitiveness/customer dissatisfaction is the reasons described, it is not a good thing for anybody that participates in a hobby for whatever reason.
  14. I really misinterpreted. I even went and checked with my betrothed, and she confirmed the lack of length and distinguishing features. Now I am embarrassed (and a bit miffed at her, after 48 years of being led to believe otherwise).
  15. Obviously, he meant to state "....throwing glass from a stone house...."
  16. Excuse me, I own that! I will thank you to move on with another point of reference to other posts you are not enamored with.
  17. Logic sucks, you know that? There just isn't any fun in logic anymore. Now Morocco, there a comfortable illogic place. I remember this one time.......
  18. Now, now, the U.S. citizen thing is a little below the belt, and does not add any credence to your position. In fact, it alienates reasonable people. Such a response is completely unecessary. You had/have a problem. Work it out. Pouting and derogatory responses are the responses of a child, not an adult.
  19. Well, there goes the darn flowchart. Amazing, both sides of the story, within 1 hour and seven posts. Is that a record?
  20. I think everything is still Unknown, at this time.
