  1. Disclaimer: never sold a comic in my life, and don't even begin to know who the players are. But, based on a thread here, Paradise may not be a place to consider. You do have one thing in common with them though, from what I can understand, and that is they don't know what day either. So it may work out.
  2. I am curious, can shelves be easily adjusted and added to the cabinet?
  3. That is a shame. I think many benefited from the thread and your posts. I thought it was and is a very useful thread. I wonder if you maybe misinterpreted posts as being a personal attack. did not think that, at all, but I can understand how you may have.
  4. Agreed. While the posts are well intended, the legal reality of liability is quite different, and at the rep/agent level, an entirely different objective exists.
  5. Not that it matters, but you have been conversing on the Boards for over 3 hours. So there is that. A drive will do you good. Take some coffee and a munchie and go sit at the location. If you have to sit all day, fine. Or, you could telephone with a cheerful voice and attitude and identify yourself as rumpelstilsken or whatever and ask if Pete/er/ie is there I want to get an idea of a price for xyz, and when the just a minute answer comes, pounce. Self reliance on solving YOUR problem is a good thing. I can't count the number of times I have staked out a person to settle a business issue. It is good for the soul, and builds character. An hour away? I have driven 6-1/2 hours to get a person to explain face to face. Always bring a strong response with you, in the form of a small claims court filing or a letter addressed to the individual from your attorney. How in heck would you know if the person is in the store or not if you won't drive an hour to find out. if you call of course he won't answer if he is trying to avoid you.....thus the hook call suggestion.I'm sure you can resolve this with some determined action.
  6. I am not certain I would state "untruths". It is more a matter of not completely understanding what is or is not covered at the representative/agent level. Sometimes an answer is given that is completely at odds with the position or finding an adjuster or legal representative would state, and then the problems start. That is exactly why I always tell anybody to read their policy completely and understand it, and have it reviewed by a 3rd. party, that can explain what the policy really states if there are questions. But, people are people, and of course some will fib to their advantage. There have been some whoppers, to be sure, especially when there is a lot of wampum on the table.
  7. I am not a comics guy, so no problem. But, my reply to anybody about any type of potential coverage would be the same. Your roof leaks. You call the roofer because there is an ad in the paper that the entity (self employed or Corp. or partnership....doesn't matter) is bonded and insured. You do a bit of google search. Looks good sounds good. The entity repairs your roof. You pay, say thank you and goodbye. The roof leaks again. Valuables are now destroyed. A question: does your Homeowners policy cover? Does your mortgage company know about the original leak? Did you notify your insurance carrier? Did you obtain an ATIMA certificate from the roofer and verify coverage? What would you do if the loss is secondary damage due to a primary event? Is the first leak at fault for the loss, or is the 2nd leak repair at fault for the loss? An adjuster arrives. He has in tow a roofing inspector. The finding is that the entire roof should have been repaired, and also the original repair is faulty workmanship, because it should have addressed the entire roof. You are furious. You call the roofing company. You did not get a copy of the policy. Turns out you are covered for the value of the original repair. You even signed a "Contract" that the cost of a repair is limited to the original repair and SF. You then find out the insurance policy has certain limitations: $ amount and type of work. You call the State. Turns out the roofer does indeed have a Contractor's license and a "Bond" that covers certain losses, such as the amount you paid if the work was not completed, or the down payment you made and the Contractor then disappears. As to your loss? The State answer: Not our problem. Insurance is fun. Oh, I almost forgot....you are now on the hook to the Mortgage company. Read your Mortgage papers...those 5,287 pieces of paper you received at settlement and have no idea where you put them. You did not notify them of the loss and/or damage to THEIR property.
  8. In general, a good synopsis of the "settlement" process. There is an option available, a stated value Rider and accompanied Umbrella. It is not that expensive, and is VERY useful when the item falls in the rare to ultra rare category. The adjuster has a boss....the attorney. The loss payee has another tool, a cost of defense Rider(no Umbrella). In certain States, that is a give me the money calling card. But, all that is beside the point and the thrust of your comments is the gold standard: due diligence.
  9. The best advice for the question asked that I can offer is to ask for a complete copy of their insurance policy, including any Riders and Umbrella policies, and then ask for a certificate of coverage in your name (ATIMA), and then call the insurance company(ies) to verify active coverage. Then take those policies to your insurance agent for review.
  10. As I said earlier, I doubt you are covered. I think it may be helpful for you to discuss with your insurance rep what is meant by negligence in the insurance world, and what is meant by umbrella coverage, and what is meant by catastrophic coverage, and what is menat by liability coverage, and, BTW what is meant by transport coverage (auto) and what is or is not covered when there is a blip in the road and your expensive pieces don't quite get to the drop off point, coming or going. When you drop off something and when you pick it up does not have anything to do with the issue. It is what happens before and in between and after that counts, and who is on the hook when bad stuff happens.
  11. I have never seen a - 95........bus.
  12. I will take that as a job well done. Vets don't BS about the important stuff.
  13. Well? I am waiting..... Score please, and no Irish blarney.
  14. BETTER NO RESPONSE THAN RISK A LAWSUIT.
  15. There is something not quite psychologically decipherable about that particular choice of and arrangement of items....yet. I will continue to study the picture. A preliminary observation is the absence of a male appendage in both figures, and both figures in contact with the DC button via their feet. A high probability of gender identity crisis coupled with a desire to explore a foot fetish fantasy by both figures is possible. Note the absence of an AC/DC button. The clippers may be an internal fixation with a castration fantasy, in support of acting out an emerging foot fantasy.
  16. ...Don't know what happened. Subliminal happiness moment, I guess. i was going add "....if I ever saw one, with delayed peckersyndrome anomaly.". Krap. I hate it when the post falls flat because of timing.
  17. Thank you. I usually grate on people. I can't reply to your last sentence, because it is German to me.
  18. I edited my post just for you, at your suggestion, you know. Would it kill you to give me a like, or at least a dislike? Some recognition?
