Just got off the phone with a boardie who may be buying someone's collection. I really feel that up here in the North East around the NY-NJ metro area that most people are savvy enough to know that if they even think they have something good, they will sell it online themselves. I do not know a lot of people offering around decent stuff. Usually they sell everything they possibly can themselves to get the most they can for the items then start shopping around the scraps.

sage advice I have been saying this for quite some time.

Even though you've been posting this book everywhere, I am still just as impressed and

That's like winning the lottery. Congrats.

Rights run out ten years after Elektra was released, same as Daredevil.

How did you arrive at that figure?

Watch for grubby hands. I have been looking at something at a store only to find a grown man reach through the space between my arm and my torso to get something that they were hyperventilating about. There was no, "excuse me" said before I noticed I might have grown a third arm. There was no, "I'm sorry." While I did not pull a Kav and roundhouse kick the guy. I will say, that I responded, poorly. I like my personal space and do not like people invading it.

Arrived in the mail...

Congratulations... Awesome pickup.

I still have not seen the movie and am not in any rush to see it. When it comes on cable or is available through netflix then I will watch. Until then I am simply . Now, DOFP and Winter Soldier are still on my must see list. I impatiently await for them to become available on mail away netflix disc borrowing.

Hey, remember when two years ago, some people said on a chat board how the public would easily dismiss a gun toting raccoon that was buddied up with a tree that said only three words?

Bravo. I recently completed a ST 110 to 170 run. But I also revere Frank Brunner's cover art on Dr. Strange issues 1-6. Check out the Marcos Martin drawn mini-series.

Keeping my to see if I get Halloween tickets. If so it will be the first time I've ever been to Vegas.

Welcome to the boards!

Do full length animated feature films count if they were released in the theaters? Batman: Mask of the Phantasm

Yes that is the point. No one is forcing a template down anyone's throats. People are free to make any type of rules up for their own thread. However when you refer to 'regular rules' you are not referring to anything since they do not exist. If you want to cite regular rules then there should be some type of idea what those rules are. Until regular rules are defined, theoretically any thread that cites them is not following the guidelines since in reality they are not stating any terms at all.

And believe me I appreciate you saying that. There is a LOT that gets lost around here because we see nothing but text from one another. The thing is, if we go by "regular rules" then was he quicker than I was? I originally posted an unconditional before the the OP posted pics of the book. Fein's claim grabbed the book pending pics. My interpretation of regular rules would have been that my would have muscled through his claim. I never deleted my I edited it out to question the OP what regular rules were instead to demonstrate that I was indeed present before the pics were published to raise the issue as to what these "regular rules are" I have seen regular rules to imply that a take it in thread no matter a time stamp can trump a pm take it. I have seen regular rules to imply that even if a book is on hold in PM or whatever the full deal with that was, then the book can still be grabbed. Please do not mistake my desire for less confusion with one for more moderation. If sellers are posting 'regular rules apply' when we have no set of regular rules then I don't know what the deal is.

It is a little more than that. Others privately mentioned it to me how frustrating it is to see vague rules and in those cases wanting to throw in a sign, but do not want to stir the pot. This discussion has arisen over my initial raising of the issue. If you look over that thread, I posted something before the scans of the book were posted. I changed my for a clarification of what are the 'regular rules'. If I wanted to be a royal pain, I could have left the unconditional and claimed it for myself citing 'regular rules' that I believe to be in my favor. Spider-fein could have then cited that no such rule existed and that the book was technically on hold until he sees pics. I avoided what I perceived to be a potential hot mess of a thread all together and decided to raise the issue here. Sellers need to have some form of rules in their sales thread. That I believe everyone agrees on. If someone is going to cite 'regular rules' then I want to know what those regular rules are. This is not an isolated case. As far as the sales threads through PM that are going on. While not invited to many at all, it's a shame and a loss on the seller's part. I do not readily disclose what books I am looking for unless I cannot find them at all which leads me to pick up GA and SA books that few know I would be interested in buying. I have cash on hand, a history of paying immediately and make no demands on sellers whatsoever. If those sellers want to limit their prospective buyers by excluding me and others then so be it. As I stated about the ASM 6, I rescinded my claim as I did not want to deal with board drama. For a couple of hundred it is not worth the aggravation. There are and will continue to be other 'cool books.' But Beige, I would like to believe that from what you know of me, this is not a sour grapes situation that I did not get the book. I believe that had I left my claim, with a push and a fight (if it came to that) I would have received it. This is an issue where I want to know what the rules are on the playing field as it does not seem to be isolated to the ASM 6 thread but quite a few of them.

I am with you on this. The first step is posting a thread to see who would want to be involved. From there, perhaps there should be some sort of suggestion process where those that want to be involved write down at least two things that are of absolute importance for them to see in the rules of a FS thread. Everyone goes from there after we consolidate that list into a few statements.

Well, here are a few issues that have risen out of the 'regular rules apply' posts: 1) Who gets the book in this case? PM unconditional or in the thread unconditional ? I understand time stamp should take priority but some people believe that in the thread takes precedence over in a PM (although I never understood that logic). 2) How about this? pending scan but then someone else takes it unconditionally? I'm sure there are more but you get the idea. This is a great idea. (thumbs u This would appease people that are lazy and don't want to write out their own rules while also allowing those that wish to write out their own rules do so. I really like this. Have a set of "regular rules" drafted and added to the selling forum rules officially by the moderators. If the seller posts in his sales thread that 'regular rules apply but doesn't stipulate those rules, then boardies are free to copy those rules into the sales thread, point to the selling thread rules posted by Arch and ask to confirm that these are the rules they are referring to. If not, the seller is forced to make amendments to the rules on the spot so there is no confusion...but the posted rules are the automatic default until the seller states otherwise. Seems to be the most elegant and painless solution so far and would eliminate a zillion headaches. I agree with Roy here. We do not need to determine right now what the "regular rules" are but they should be eventually determined so that they are stickied and anytime someone simply claims regular rules then they are bound to that.

The guy that gets back to you months later? Yeah... I believe the general consensus was that people felt he was trying to scam you.

What if there were a field that MUST be filled out as the header for every thread: Example: Methods of Payment: Paypal, Check, MO Will Ship to: Worldwide Methods of Shipping: Free CONUS Shipping, International Express Priority Will Not Sell to: HOS, Probies and "names" (Yes we should name names- it might cut down on some drama) Priority of Claims: Unconditional trumps conditional , if an unconditonal is made in PM and in the thread we go by timestamp.

Reboot... which is fine. Visually the film looks amazing. It has my interest. Here is a screen cap of the tattoo scene in the trailer.

Goodnight Cee Gee Some music with an island theme... Jimmy Buffett - A Pirate Looks at Forty Jack Johnson - Let it be Sung Joe Purdy - Wash Away Israel Kamakawiwo'ole - Somewhere Over the Rainbow / What a Wonderful World

So now out of curiosity, so I know going forward. Had I kept the unconditional sign and demanded the book: 1 - What would the reaction have been as to who gets the book as "regular rules" could be open to anything? 2 - The boardie admitted that he had too much to drink as he was making the initial post. Does this figure into the thread?
