  1. I clicked the wrong button... I have now lost messaging services...
  2. that's creepy... I did not say you are wrong... I just said it was creepy...
  3. Hope so... I would have to move everything as I use PB
  4. - I am checking in once in a while today to see what's up. Maybe old threads that have been proofed will make a reappearance.
  5. Checking in from a Super Bowl party as the people around me are talking politics After reading the reports and the personal stories of pm's, phone calls, and text messages, I have come to this conclusion. Patz did it Carbo knew it was happening and either turned a blind eye or acted as a safe house for the stolen goods. There are very specific dealers and other interested parties that visit and lurk these boards that have a vested interest in making sure Michael Carbonaro is not spoken of in a bad way due to the NY and LI comic scene. CGC can erase this story all they want - it does not seem to be something that is likely to be forgotten. This was the reporting of a comics related news story and nothing more. Fuel was added to the fire by deleting it.
  6. I have had better experiences with USPS on than I have had with Fed Ex and UPS on Long Island. Glad to see this worked out for you.
  7. That badge had better be in a lanyard ... But if it wasn't that would mean they were holding it between.... oohhhhhhh
  8. Not likely. He is never going to get it. At this point he will find out the hard way. There is nothing any of us can say or do that will open up his eyes. I blocked him as I do not want to deal with his potential drama or his attitude as it is not worth it to me. Other people can coddle his behavior and take his money. At least that is my perspective in this matter.
  9. Carbo does not have any books of his own to sell buy has been known to put interested parties together in making deals on books. Carbo sells replicas of vintage movie posters. Carbo is/was a buying agent and advisor for Dave and Adams. Carbo is a promote of his own shows and may be an advisor for others.
  10. CAK is not money Carbo is money Apparently that is the difference
  11. Mike Carbo and Frank Patz and anyone associated with the theft of Eaglemoss' merchandise are as of today, banned from the Javits Center, ReedPop shows, as well as NYCC. While Patz is named as the individual who did the actual stealing, Carbonaro was named as being aware that the stealing was going on. In the articles Carbonaro is named due to Patz bringing the stolen merchandise back to Carbonaro's booth DUE TO WHAT WAS MENTIONED IN THE NYPD POLICE REPORT. The Police Report itself was linked on Bleeding Cool.
  12. Realistically Original page of art from Web of Spider-Man 26 I'd like a "find"... that would be pretty cool... like you are testing down a wall and see stacks of golden age buried in it used for insulation or something ... What a story.
  13. This side of the street for that... This was the one that I started but seems to be mostly geared toward action figures. This Week In Your Plastic Crack, Action Figures and Toy Collection I love me some MP TF
  14. Less shady people in this hobby... That's my wish.
  15. Well... what if the officer was lying. I still smile over being able to prove the officer was lying in court and watching him get reprimanded. I was but a college student and I fought the law... and I won. That was pure
  16. I do my homework and don't pay $1000 for $1 items. This is also not Amazon. In some of the things I collect, I have overpaid to be at the front of the line. When the items sell out, I am still guaranteed my copy or sample of the item. If I want to play the wait and guess game, there is a chance I am going to lose out. If the item becomes available at a cheaper price and I seek a refund from the original seller, I lose my relationship with that vendor. I do not want to risk that so I fulfill my buying commitments. Case in point. I own a sample of a cancelled Snake Eyes GI Joe figure. It was produced in VERY limited sample quantities and there were rumors floating around that the entire wave would be cancelled. I picked one up a premium knowing the risk that if the figures made it to retail I paid a larger sum for what was at the time a $5 figure. The wave was indeed cancelled. I now own a figure that is far more valuable than I bought it for. Two years ago I bought ANOTHER Snake Eyes figure that was supposed to be in short supply as it was an exclusive. I paid a premium to get the figure. The figure was released and then others were selling it for less. That was the chance I took. This thing of ours. This comic book hobby is not Amazon, it is not Macy's it is not Walmart. We deal in appreciating and depreciating values. I don't get to buy things on eBay and then tell a seller the book did not appreciate, I want my money back. I do not get to tell a buyer after I sell them a book that they just made a movie announcement, I want more money for the book I shipped out to yesterday. Rebel... please provide me your eBay ID so I may block you. I am easily found on eBay. It is the same name I use here. I will tell you the same thing I told someone last week who wanted to place an order with me. I do not want to do business with you. Your money is no good to me.
  17. We do actually... but feel free to post another one. I do not mean that sarcastically. The comics we read gain a lot of traction through product support. There should be more threads devoted to them. You could make this focus in on sideshow and hot toys and other premium figure items. There is quite a large collector base for that on here. This was the one that I started but seems to be mostly geared toward action figures. This Week In Your Plastic Crack, Action Figures and Toy Collection There is also some dweeb around here that started a Lego thread. The Lego Thread - Yes, Comics Related
