PsychoJ

On a completely unrelated point Ewan UK, just want to say great name and user name! It's my sons name! Come and speak to us more often

Thanks Gaz, Iv sent a PM so hopefully we can discuss from there. If anyone else is interested in the ASM's then please pm me

Iv sent you a pm for Fox, all the details are in the sales pm though if you want a better look

Hi guys, put the message out via the sales pm but just thought I'd add a note here that Iv added 19 SA ASM books to my sales list. Some have scans but not all yet but will endeavour to add more or pictures if I can't get the bloody thing to work. Please PM me for any details and offers on single or multi deals. Reluctant to get rid of some of these nice books but just can't afford a spidey run and my current Avengers HG run which is taking priority. Hope thats ok and as always I'll do whatever I can to help so just send me a pm.

Thanks

 

Would love to be in involved in the group therapy PM's, sounds like a blast

 

When is the next meet? I'm heading stateside in a couple of weeks, plan to be there for a couple of months. Best of all cheap shipping that even Supapimp wouldn't be able to squirm out of

Hi, I'm fairly new to the boards but slowly getting to know people, even though I haven't been able to get involved in any meet ups. Hopefully sometime soon. Always good to meet new people so send me a pm anytime, I'm abit of a chatter/rambler in pm's but as long as you don't mind then fire a message my way anytime.

If your off to the states for a few months it sounds like we might have a mole! Will you be attending any conventions while there?

All the best

Jamie

Thanks for postage response. Sounds like you have to put a few high value books together under GPA then to make it work. Similar to clink though. Will go have a look but most likely won't have a chance with it being so late

Hi,

Has anyone ever bid on the heritage Sunday comic auction and have an idea of what postage costs are like back to the UK?

Thanks

Just some options to consider would be great. I need to sell to buy at the min, unless I buy then sell but that's what keeps happening and I only do the buy part!

Pm me Bane

I'm looking at WW2 cover I think, but would be great to have a 1st appearance cover. There was a batman 2 jerry Robinson on the boards a week ago and for a great price and I'm still kicking myself. So in terms of budget I would go to a healthy amount but only if I new it was a good investment. All my comic books are being left to my 2 sons as a future nest egg as my health isn't tip top. Prob should be writing this via pm.

I'm getting back into the hobby after a LONG hiatus, and starting a new collection from ground zero with these two cool DC's.

Captain Action is junk, of course, but it's a pure shot of 60's kid culture.

 

 

As for the Spectre 4, it's a dazzling Adams cover. Nice and glossy copy, with a miscut - but at least it's completely even the entire length of the spine.

 

 

 

 

I think that Captain Action cover is pretty cool myself (thumbs u

In terms of the new sales thread I'd like to say I think it's going well so far and thank the people who bought from me. I was apprehensive as someone who hasn't sold before and it's been great to get some books out there to new homes and to also get positive feedback. I hope the thread keeps going even though it does seem to have slowed the last few days.

KevinJ I want your comics budget please (thumbs u oh and also all the ways and means you hide it from your wife

Bane, I know your the man with the ultimate batman collection and I was hoping to see some GA books listed but nothing so far I don't have a single GA book in my collection and even though Avengers are my no.1 focus it was Batman that I 1st read when younger so thought it fitting to purchase a GA Batman issue. When I find the right one.

Still haven't got my books yet. according to Chandler it's a hundred working days for economy tier, so it's gonna be about another month.

 

My own fault, for going economy.

Just had message from Sharon and she said my economy books hadn't been graded yet and could be another 2 months! Oh well it's only been 4 months so far, half a year seems like a reasonable turnaround for the money it cost to get the books graded.

With halo 4 now due for release will I have that extra excuse I need to buy the Star Wars ltd edition X-box

Anyone on Virgin Media?

 

For some reason I cannot get to any of the Ning sites, Comicopolis or Boozads. Last 2 days it just won't let me access.

 

I can get to it by proxy but I can't sign in after that.

 

With comicopolis I get a 'service unavailable' message.  That's on iPad.

 

Must be those krappy Apple machines

 

Not a Fanboy then

 

Far too expensive and restrictive for what they do.

 

I agree but they are ssssoooooooo lovelly to use and look at

+1 love my iPad and phone (thumbs u

I'm in the same boat... I am a hoarder, but I have realised this past week that the only way I can afford some decent keys etc I will need to let a lot of my books go. I will be starting a sales in the PM and on e-bay over the coming weeks. Anybody has a wants list I have over 3000 comics I will be letting go as I have decided only 2 books are indispensable.

 

 

Even the TMNT are going?

Did someone say TMNT? Never read a copy but love the cover work and have some strange pull to read a load of issues. I have slipped into conversation with my other half the hardcover trades that are available if she's looking for a present for me for fathers day. Would love a raw run but that 1st issue has become a bit of a modern stepping stone!

That Conan #1 8.0 PsychoJ listed in the sales thread is torturing me. A couple of years ago in a moment of munificence I donated mine to some board raffle or other. It's such a nice looking book

 

Pm me to discuss if you like

 

It's very cool, and in a perfect world I would have one, but I'm strictly saving up for the time being.

 

The one I had was just like yours (not the same, I checked the serials). Don't you just hate selling comics? I mean, a part of me regrets no longer owning just about everything I've ever let go!

I'm a complete hoarder and want to keep everything. Just realised if I ever want to complete a collection of any book then Iv got no choice but to start letting stuff go. Hence this is my 1st sales thread and thought I'd start with a nice book. Got a load of nice SA spiddys to list as well. Thanks for your interest though, I'm happy that people are looking

This is just a bit of batman reading recommendation request, prob best aimed at bane being the Batman!

I love Adams batman covers but can you recommend a good reading run for bats books of the 70's period which would include some of these classic covers but a good story as well? Sorry to ask such a basic question but I really don't know much about what was being written and want to pick up some bats books from this period to enjoy the covers and art as much as the writing.

Thanks to anyone who can help.

Iv also posted my 1st book for sales in the sales pm thread so please be kind and feel free to pm as much as you like

Are we allowed to comment on the sales pm here? Also what's happening with the euro's? Is there some kind of predictor game going on or something I could get involved with? Any help would be great thanks

Morning everyone. Well Iv applied for a membership over on comicpolIs. What does this mean for our pm sales thread? I'm happy for it to see a trail run still. At least we know there will be a target audience involved. What are other peoples thoughts?

Is it worth electing someone as a mod or whatever title, for the pm thread to rule on any issues that arise?

 

I'm not sure if it would be necessary, majority vote may be sufficient for any issues. What does everyone else think?

 

I think we are all good people here that a mod is not needed

I agree that we're all good people here and the likelyhood of an unresolved dispute is unlikely, but still saying that in the short time Iv been on the boards I have seen some rows flare up. In these cases it's taken a mod to lay down the law and put a stop to the argument. I'm sure on this small scale it'll be fine though. We can always just refer to some of the senior boards members like Garry or nick if we need a ruling rather than officially appointing anyone.

Not that I'm saying who's more senior or anything on the boards

I'm happy to give it until next week to get things started. Will give people including myself time to sort books out and get invloved with the planning process. Sticking to current board rules is a must where can be implemented, with any differences due to format set out as we are currently doing.

I think everyone needs to agree at the beginning to the rules so we can avoid any future conflicts, if someone isnt happy then we can make alterations or they can choose not to participate. Is it worth electing someone as a mod or whatever title, for the pm thread to rule on any issues that arise?

Seems like wether to include prices might be a main point so can this be left flexible? I'd sooner see prices if individual comics are listed but then if it's a bulk run being offered an enquiry on issues wanted and cost can easily be made.

Those sound pretty good to me, let's give everyone a chance to reply though before anything is set in stone.

In terms of non compliance to rules I suggest a mob style attack on said perpetrator, who after a good thrashing is then displayed in the stocks to have rotten veg thrown at

Ok so if I'm abit slow here then yeah that's just me but a few questions? If I want to buy from an individual do i just pm them alone with what I want or doEs the whole purchase stay within the group pm? Obviously we're not doing I'll take it unless there's prices etc. in light of that do we need to post prices or discuss this with the individual if thier interested? Sorry to complicate things guys I know we're just trying to keep this simple but some guidelines always help.

Will mods mind this being done as being confined to pm's?
