  1. In that case, I might have needed to call Nico to represent my case, as I believe he is a lawyer (surprised?). Probably wouldn't win any verdicts, but the courtroom drama would be worth it. Seth Yeah, might not want to get Nico involved here ... http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=gsidiropolis&ftab=AllFeedback Wow, this is sad. I hope the dude is ok, health-wise and all... This. Seriously. We all have a collective dislike for him, but this just isn't "normal". You don't just have someone all of a sudden not send any of his last ~10 items or so on eBay, plus his health was at risk if I recall correctly. As much as I enjoyed partaking in calling out his general stupidity, I really hope he's ok.
  2. I know how you feel. Last week I had a Saga #1 (I know, people are already starting to sweat reading this) that I was going to change the bag/board on sitting on my high-top table, and my cat decides to jump from the counter onto the table right on the comic, riding it like a surfboard right off the edge and crashes to the ground folding it right in half vertically/against the spine. 9.8 to 9.2 in less than 3 seconds. It was one that I paid cover price for, but ultimately caused me to buy one to replace for $80. I paid $80 to give my cat surfing lessons. Cat was ok. But who cares - my Saga died
  3. Does the parenthesis act as an 'or' clause (it will search for any of those words)? Cause I was gonna add Staples to my search but not everyone puts that in the title. Easiest is to just do -twilight I guess
  4. Well in that case he's just stooooooopid Jk....sell me your 9.9s please kthx
  5. Not sure why any of you are wanting to compete in the registry seeings as Ryan has the only 9.9. He's the leader the day it goes up!
  6. Everytime you do this I crack up. I picture the "SNAP INTO A SLIM JIM" voice saying it.
  7. I for one get nauseous everytime I'm searching Saga on ebay and Twilight stuff pops up in my search.... That Jacob is so dreamy though...
  8. If you're in it for a third time I'm just gonna send you a copy to sign
  9. To the new guy on here defending his business, I'll say this: Not only did you potentially lose customers, but also potential future customers. I've never shopped with you before, and now I don't plan on it. On the flip-side - had you of honored Ryan's request in the first place, I would have seen that as great customer service and would have become a regular customer. That's how I've picked all of the retailers I purchase online from - is their customer service. I had never heard of Third Eye Comics before, but someone here posted an experience they had with them and how wonderful they were to deal with, they're now my go-to comic retailer. Same with a mom and pops computer part retailer. You could have made many new customers that day had you owned up provided Ryan with good customer service. Lastly, as someone who works with web servers everyday, I don't get the whole "server issue" thing anyway. You need to update a price, you update it. It doesn't have to travel through multiple end-points or anything. Either your site is down or its up, its one database feeding the information. If one portion wasn't working, none of it would have been. Anyway, regardless of the handful of people here who may no longer shop with you, I'm sure you'll be fine in the end. Don't let this get to you too much. Just try to do the right thing next time you find yourself in a similar situation.
  10. In my ~20 years on the internet, this is by far the most eloquent, detailed, #1 NY Times best-selling author type writing of a rendering of calling someone a troll I've ever read. I <3 you.
  11. So.....who can guess what's wrong with this auction? (If this is a boardie, you should know better) http://www.ebay.com/itm/SAGA-First-Editions-1-8-Image-Comics-Bagged-and-Boarded-/181061802726
  12. Get a room Go back to "work". Edit: Put work in quotes cause, well, you don't actually work
  13. I think he just got a bout of amnesia, help him! Edit: nevermind, joke was funnier in my head
  14. I wish I would have bought 15 Saga's like I bought 15 Bedlam's...
  15. So serious question which will probably spawn tons of arguments. I'm looking to get a few more raw #1s. Do you all speculate that the prices are inflated a bit? Or is this becoming the new baseline price (~$80-100)?
  16. The word count thing would be easy too. Hell, you can do a google search to find that out (in the search box just type [name of comic] site:boards.collectors-society.com) and voila. Heck, if they need a PHP dev to play around a bit, I'd toss my hat in the pool to play.
  17. Well screw you then!!! I didn't want you bidding on my Hampton Bay brushed aluminum 3 bulb track light anyway!
  18. Just curious but what does it being 10 day make it a red flag? I've done that before and I'm not too shady.
  19. Finally got one!! (Well, two of them) :-)
  20. Know when they'll be up for sale? Also, do you have first dibs before they're up? If so I'd like to bribe...errm...talk to you please
  21. Not really. When you easily see how much the books are currently selling for and how much they're being hyped and selling for on eBay, its easy to flip without reading.
