Ditch Fahrenheit

Eat me, Mighty Mouse. Now it would be solely for a strike. Before it was this and this rolled into one. A real man would start a thread about it, get a strike and lose 5 points simultaneously, go out drinking with the boys to celebrate, and tell his wife to keep his dinner warm for him.

Eat me, Mighty Mouse.

Would this apply to say, i dont know, one boardie challenging another to meet him in a certain persons parking lot Yep. Did a threat / implied threat get missed somewhere? That's an easy one. Ummmm, yeah! You guys somehow missed the 50 pages of "meet me at Phils parking lot you internet coward" in my "guess whos back" thread that was deleted?!? That's what you get for starting a silly thread like that. Don't make me come out to Phil's parking lot and moderate. (rolling eyes) I saw the thread and skimmed a few pages. Surprisingly, I didn't read all 1,094 replies. I saw a bunch of references to phil's parking lot, but not the origin.

Thanks Sean,Nick and PiP for helping me avoid a bad seller.I love this place! Those guys did all the heavy lifting. I'm just hoping this attracts other people to keep all the eBay threads in one place. Good luck with that one.

A few weeks ago, we actually adopted two cats from the local humane society. They are (supposedly) sisters. Probably 1+ years old. One is disabled (the mother had distemper) and she kinda flops around. Her name is Weebles. She's a little skittish (I think my daughter frightens her), but a sweet cat. The other is just the coolest cat. Her name is Raven. She's calico. Will come over to you when you call her, let's you rub her belly, and plays fetch!!! She loves those little balls with the bell inside. You throw it and she'll go get it and bring it back and drop it at your feet. The cat I mentioned did that. Her favorite toy, despite buying her dozens of others, was a wadded up ball of paper. Throw it across the room, she'd run after and bat it around a bit, then bring it back like a dog. Again human!

DL, Awesome. If you're willing to spend the time tracking the results of a statistically valid sample population, that would be great. I would love to learn what the true capture rate is, and I'm sure others here would too. Further insight into the causes of the capture rate would be interesting as well; the only downside being new possible arbitrage opportunities. The food thing was just a joke. Looking forward to seeing your results.

No we don't. Of course we do. Indicative is the word I used. Quite appropriately I might add. Dang, you are a rough and ungenerous lot! I reach out and without breaking much of a sweat I find 5 out of 6 that don't make it to sales data, 83%, and it doesn't even represent a speed bump for your already decided point of view? Based on "someone would have noticed it already" and "their service would be worthless if this were true"? No qualifying, no backpedaling, no rear covering, no homework, not an inch of give even when I say I've spoken to GPA? I got to hand it to you Shellhead, you picked the right handle for sure. I hesitate to put the hours in to get a more definitive sample size, but I might...6-10 hours should tell the tale...more work than reward...btw, thank you Sqeggs for the thumbs up. Bio-Rupp - if your listing > 10 days and you want it to show up on GPA's Live Auction Links then you must include the 10 digit certification number in the Ebay listing title. That is definitive and straight from GPA. now...what was that about narcotics? Here's what I said. Your sample population is 5, after reviewing 800 listings. If you had to go through 800 listings to find 5 examples, then you're not doing it right and you probably need to acquaint yourself with the eBay search function and Boolean logic. It took me only a few minutes to find these, and they represent only a handful, specifically CGC 9.8 books currently listed on eBay without "CGC" in the title. Multiply this by all the other possible grades and you end up with hundreds of listings per week. I tell you what. Go ahead and knock yourself out. If 75% of the books that sell in the above list are missed by GPA, then I'll eat one of Blowie's half-eaten food oddities. If less than 75%, then you eat it. Fair?

No we don't. He's saying that 75% of the books sold on eBay that do not have "CGC" in the title are missed by GPA. This is incorrect. And since this represents literally hundreds of books per week, I think it would have been noticed by now. PS - Don't try to dangleberry me bro.

I think your error analysis is way off. It certainly isn't 75%. There are hundreds of active listings on eBay right now for CGC books that do not have CGC in the title. GPA isn't missing 75% of them, and a human screener could easily capture them. I'd be interested in knowing the actual error rate. But from what I've seen, one book in a thousand doesn't seem too far off.
