  1. Yer gonna need a bigger offer...

     

    Peace,

     

    Chip

     

    Come on - its obvious he is changing up the classic quote "your going to need a bigger boat". I don't think he meant any offense by it but I have been wrong before.

    Wow. Yes, this is exactly right. I was just changing up the quote based on how comments have gone since the thread began. I thought I was being humorous.

     

    I didn't mean to offend anyone.

     

    This thread has really gone overly-sensitive now, yeas?

     

    Peace,

     

    Chip

  2. Go ahead and feel free to post your offer and I'll PM Red to make sure he knows and thank him and ask what he wants to do. You're back on the clock. ;)

    Okay, taking the pictures now. If this offer isn't good enough then I'll find a new message board. :)

     

    Peace,

  3. Man this has just turned in to a bitter and mean version of the PIF system.

     

    Good luck getting new people to play!

     

    All the bitter ended about six hours ago

     

    Yea I'm a bit late. I just got off the ice and didn't have a chance to post and review the nonsense.

     

    And man Kirby is incredible. I might have to pick up some of those books down the road. How's the writing though?

    The Kamandis are now a RAK/free offering as my current offer will be new. Feel free to take them and try them out. If you don't care for them, send them on to someone else you wants to try.

     

    Peace,

     

    Chip

  4. He still did not want to honor his end of the deal and quit the thread.

    You're right., I didn't. If Red wants to shelve his books for the time being I will change up my offer to something that has heavy interest and won't last long.

     

    It's up to you.

     

    The other two lots will still be here as RAK gifts for anyone to claim.

     

    Peace,

  5. That copper age thread about books heating up was one. Certain PM's from trustworthy board members. I cant be the only person that see's the attitude.

    What, the one where divad got in my face for no good reason and I defended myself?

     

    "PMs from trustworthy board members?" Make up some more evidence, will ya?

  6. Not true. with the attitude you show to a lot of board members, selling would be twice as hard if not for the reason for selling.

    Other than what's been perceived in this thread today, WHERE have I had attitude with any board members?

  7. Thats where you are wrong chip. You have asked for help. Most sales threads start out "i need this for my family" or "ex-girlfriend messed up my ebay and i need ebay to support my family" or whatever. You may not directly ask for help, but you are very close to it.

    I'm not ever asking for a handout or a donation. I offer books for sale. Just because I state the reason why I'm selling doesn't mean I'm asking for a damn handout.

    Absolutely it is. If you tried selling those same books with the headline "i just feel like selling them" probably wont sell as many as selling in a thread titled "selling my comics. need help to support my family". You not playing the handout card but you are definitely playing the sympathy card.

    You act like I'm begging for money and offering up NOTHING in return.

  8. Chip, I can tell you are upset, I would suggest to walk it off. Things have escalated quite a bit and you are too busy play defense and not listening to what is being said. I know it can be difficult if you fell you are being attacked but for the sake of this thread, your business, I suggest you walk away read the comments in the morning for what they are and rethink your position

    Good advice. It's 2am here and I need to get some sleep.

     

    Peace,

     

    Chip

  9. Looking back, this post of your's probably never should of been made...

     

    Ah well...it's a solid offer. I'm not switching it up.

     

    Peace,

     

    Chip

    Yup, but you can't unscramble eggs. What's done is done. I'll just have to offer up a bunch of free stuff that isn't worth a dime each like everyone around here states.

     

    Peace,

  10. Thats where you are wrong chip. You have asked for help. Most sales threads start out "i need this for my family" or "ex-girlfriend messed up my ebay and i need ebay to support my family" or whatever. You may not directly ask for help, but you are very close to it.

  11. Stop it. Im just pointing out facts. I understand your situation. But this board has helped you. A lot. You should be kissing instead of kicking it.

    I gave multiple times long before I "got" anything. I also never asked for ANY monetary help at all. None of it. Anyone who offered I told them they didn't have to do it. I can't force people to stop doing what they want to do, as evidenced by this damn thread.

  12. I wonder if people here are finding your attitude about all this to be the most troubling. Perceived or not. Maybe it's just coming across in your postings that way. Heaven knows, it happens to me all the time. People can't see your facial expressions or tone of voice and they get the wrong impression. Could that be happening here, Chip? Maybe it's a combination of your offers and your perceived attitude?

    My attitude right now is that I'm pretty angry. I don't feel like I've done something horrid at all. I select stuff for the thread, post it up and get a bunch of flack for it. My first offer was taken quickly. My second offer wasn't and I switched it. People said it was a great offer, and now I'm getting flack for it again. Now they're pulling in everything everyone has done for me in the forum (even though I told the people via PM they did NOT have to do anything for me...that was none of anyone's business but I now I need to point it out) and saying that I haven't given back to the forum at all???

     

    I was giving to the forum long before anything was given to me, so that's insulting and it makes my blood pressure skyrocket.

     

    The collection I just posted about has nothing to do with this thread, what I can give to this thread, or anything in here at all. Everyone assumes I got it all for a song and should just give it all away here.
