  1. Someone posted ALL the rules and once again, you FAILED to obey them all.  Your website claims that you're an Overstreet Advisor.  If that's true, then how hard is it to follow a few simple rules?  It's not like there are hundreds....

     

    You really don't have any excuses.  Members posted in your thread and alerted you to the rules.  You even ENDED your thread so that you could start another one and you acknowledged that you were going to follow ALL the rules...yet you did not.  Sorry but you will get zero sympathy from most people...

    Ask Major Payne where you can find sympathy...

  2. I personally feel that if a seller will accept a "T" as a form of "Take it" then that's acceptable.  Seems a bit overbearing to start to install specific rules that would dictate HOW someone sells.

    I think if a seller clearly defines their rules, then there shouldn't be a problem.

    Only thing I could see is that its required that buyers actually quote the book, not simply "take HOS 92" or whatever...you actually quote the image.

    Yeah, and Mark Gruenwald's ashes were mixed into the ink of the first Squadron Supreme tpb. The difference is, those were Mark's wishes, and KISS were also involved in their blood ink decision as well.

    Stan had a bunch of ghoulish handlers eager to pimp him out for every penny they could scrounge. I doubt he even knew what was going on the last few months, if not years.

    Sadly it's been well established that he was taken advantage of in his latter years.  I wonder where the rest of his family was during all this?  I know he has a daughter; not sure about anyone else...

    That does bring up an interesting point.  Why don’t more of the big con dealers run yearly board sales?  Especially when they see the success that Dale has?  We have a few prolific sellers on the boards but when a dealer brings basically a whole booth worth of books it is something to see.  Harley isn’t active enough and I doubt he would do very good since his prices are big con aggressive but why doesn’t  Reese or some of the other big dogs put together a big thread every year?  Too much work, too cheap prices to justify the time?

    If you really think about this question, you'll surmise the answer rather quickly....

    I'm surprised you didn't know, wasn't there an issue a few years ago? I could have sworn you were posting about it and you were pretty upset? Anyway, it's easy to just hide the posts.  That way nothing gets messed up.

    That’s right Sharon. Good memory. 

    I believe one of the holiday sales threads was moved from G/S/B to Mixed bc of this same issue. And if I’m not mistaken, after either some PMs or phone calls, it was moved back to G/S/B. 

    This jog any memories @Dale Roberts? How do you have that sort of pull?

    Whether a thread gets pulled (or the speed at which it gets pulled) is directly proportional to who the Seller is.

    That really shouldn’t matter.  1 post of 100k posts, the rules should apply evenly across the board.  If Dale violates them (and he has), his thread should be subject to the same punishments as every one before him.
