  1. Original comic Art. Plastic Crack. Anime' ( not kidding....)
  2. Remember, the poster was a landscape contractor, and the defense for yes or no for listing on the PL, is important.
  3. It is. USPS endorses doing so. They also endorse reusing the box, after removing other previous markings/address info.
  4. Is this Thread still alive in Ireland, or are you just hacking? how did you do that?
  5. Somebody got my point, just the identification incorrect.
  6. One person is screwing another. It is about money to one person, and principle and dignity and reputation to the other one. The money one is not the real one, though. It is his money friend that is also about money, so there are really 2 persons that are about money, against one person that is about dignity and principle and reputation. The plot is "The Postman Always Rings Twice...When He Is Supposed To Ring 3 Times". the Climax will be the 3rd Ring by the Postman (or maybe not). My money is on the principle and dignity and reputation person. Want more? Join the National Intelligence Agency.
  7. I will give you this...you are doing a superb job of keeping this thread alive, with very little help. I admire tenacity and going against the norm.
  8. Did you ask Mr. Arch is that allowed? Just in case, because you never know around here, anymore.
  9. search function, thread in 2010, Krypto Spidey, 11/9/99 Disney #1? A duck thingy?
  10. Unless you took one for your wife and friend or co-worker, to save a trip. Then it is being environmentally helpful by saving gas.
  11. A very interesting thread and a heck of a study of human nature in a small dedicated community. I personally focused on one issue a bit different from all the issues and opinions mentioned. and that is I am surprised how ignorant the 'middle man" is of how very very close he came to committing fraud. If the contents of that box are not as expected, it is Fraud, and his own emails detail the actions nicely. There is only one description I can think of for the actions to date, and that is stupidity. You know what? If something goes south, I will buy the damn books just to bring it to a conclusion, and I will pay the darn lost time/shipping you are out of pocket, and if it doesn't go south and the books come back as expected, I will still buy them, in case you can't sell them. I am not a collector, but learn a lot from this forum, and if it comes to pass, I will donate the damn things to Dr. X, for use in his annual thingamajig, and I will do it just to spite this middle man. If the package is not correct as to contents, etc. I would not hesitate to notify the USPS Fraud unit. As to outing the fellow, that is up to the community. I don't care either way, because it is not like he/she remains anonymous. The middle man left so many clues and so many people already know, and the tracking number itself reveals a lot and it would be public access information, that this middle man is a dingbat. Now imaging his/her employer getting this thread. Jesus. risking all this for $675? Dumazz. Let me know if you want the #, and where to send.
  12. Thank you. I don't extrapolate that connection. Is CCS "grading"? While their activities may enhance (or not according to some comments already) a Grade, it does not seem to me that our Host would not want open discussion about their abilities, or lack thereof. Reading the numismatic threads, such an unspoken policy extrapolated from a ban for mentioning competitors certainly clashes with such an extrapolation. I would be very surprised if the Host does not, unspoken or not, benefit from an commentary good or bad about the service. The Macy's Rule: send them across the street if we can't do it. Good business, and incentive to get better. Interesting that such an unspoken rule exists, these days.
  13. Why is this an unspoken Rule? That seems inconsistent with, for example, the numismatic thread(s). Isn't it a form of promotion for exploring other alternatives, considering criticism of the service is allowed? I would think the host welcomes fair and honest comments from users, as a barometer of what the host can do to improve and satisfy customers, so customers would not explore other alternatives.
  14. Priceless.... I saved this one. Showed to my wife, she asked if you could do a series for me to take to the theater so I don't keep asking her what is going on.
  15. It certainly got my attention. Maybe Wall Street can take a hint and switch to making money, The Disney Way, instead of, well, selling pigs to China and stuff. Very impressive. Even in my part of rural mountain nowhere America, my neighbors drove 3 hrs. and 22 min. (well, not really, more like a 1/2 hour) to see it and loved it and that is all that was talked about at the local gas station/coffee house/nightclub/car wash/school bus stop yesterday. I guess I will have to go see this one. It will be the first movie I have seen in a theater in many years. It better be worth the $2.50.
