  1. Re-reading the Heir to the Empire trilogy.

     

    :applause:

    I'm reading "501st: A Republic Commando Novel"

    Ive read Heir to the Empire trilogy about 8 times since I bought the Heir to the Empire in softback when I was a Sr. in HS.

    There are very few stories I like to read and read again than those.

    The Han Solo Trilogy is an excellent read too.

     

    I currently am reading The Long Emergency and The Delta Solution by Patrick Robinson.

     

    Is the newest edition of the Lost Tribe series out yet?

    I don't think they are yet. These are EBOOKS, right? Not printed?

    No it's the fate o the Jedi series

    Hmmm hm , are you sure? I know the "current" decendants of the Lost Tribe are in the F.O.T.J. series, but if you look at The STAR WARS Novels Timeline, the Lost Tribe of the Sith are listed 5000 years before A New Hope as Ebook Novellas. But as far as the F.O.T.J. "Conviction", I think the SciFi book club just shipped it to me.

  2. I generally have a few philosophy, physics, random books going simultaneously. Currently in the middle of:

     

    The Portable Atheist edited by Christopher Hitchens

    Visions by Michio Kaku (1997 predictions of scientific advancements over the next 20, 50, and 100 years)

    Superheroes and Philosophy edited by Tom Morris and Matt Morris

     

    Also just finished In Search of Time by Dan Falk. If the concept and origin of time interest you at all this book is a great read, very interesting without being overly technical.

     

    :blush: I think if I knew you, I'd feel stupid :insane:

    ;)

  4. I haven't attempted to sell any of my books yet, and I don't know how many more (if any) sites there are for selling books via auction and such. It's almost like that story I'm sure we've all been emailed at one point or another about everyone boycotting one specific gasoline dealership for a week and watching the prices drop as a result (I sure wish that could actually be coordinated). If everyone stopped selling for a week, or however long we think is needed, ebay may notice. 2c

  5. Well, eBay has been able to link several other accounts that they have shut down, because of return policy abuse, to mydadsextras and nicoscomics. Both the same user. Apparently she has done this in the past quite a bit.

     

    :applause: (thumbs u

     

    Unfortunately, they ruled in her favor regarding the returns, which I figured they would. But hopefully they can shut her down permanently and we can prevent this from happening to any other upstanding eBay sellers.

     

    My condolences on this latest quote; but look at it this way...(hopefully) it was a small price to pay in order to vanquish one of many thorns in the sides of honest sellers & buyers everywhere. You've made a dent in her deviousness, which she rightfully deserves.

     

    You're a hero in my book. (thumbs u

     

    $3,200. :pullhair: ..... But thanks.

    :o ........ :mad:......... :censored:

  6. I hated to do this, but after 4 weeks I hadn't heard anything from Bongo2001 and was forced to file a UPI before the 32 day deadline. He bought a ton of stuff from me in the past and took awhile but did pay, but this time I've gotten zero response to multiple emails over the past month. Just one quick email would have sufficed...but I'm uncomfortable going past the cutoff point to file the UPI with zero communication. (shrug)

    Hopefully it will all work out...judging by his bid history, he has been on an absolute buying frenzy and maybe just got caught up in some personal stuff that prevented him from being able to keep up with the zillions of purchases. Hope all is well... :wishluck:

     

     

    He paid! :applause:

  7. After reading this post I get the impression that some people are addicted to the bidding process, I assume for the thrill of winning (which I admit is pretty kewl). But when the rush ware's off, they're left with bill they may not want to pay. Not all of them, obviously, just some. Though I am BIG TIME sorry The Silver Age is dealing with this hassle, I'm glad to learn a little bit more about the ups and downs of selling on ebay. Haven't tried it yet, but someday I'll be looking to unload many of my "non-essential" books in order to make room in my home.

    Good luck TSA

  8. These are my "reading copies." YUP, that's the golden record reprint. #117 & Annual #1 are in the best shape, but when the annual was trimmed by the printers, it tore 3 of the pages (one page has a fold at the tear that, when un-folded, actually extends outside the borders of the book... wonder what that does to the grade). I got all of these as part of a lot (except #117 and the annual) for around $45. Even in their condition I thought I did pretty well :grin:
