  1. Royce, I understand what he did was pretty much a *fork* move, but he didn't renege on the deal did he? No. Did you get your money? Yes. Did he get the book? Yes. Did you give him a refund, even partial? No. Did he flip the book? Yes, it sucks he BS'd about the reason, but regardless if he said he was buying the book because he had a vision from God about it, the bottom line is you bought into it. I don't see a violation, other than that he sounds like a used extra heavy day tampon. Just saying... +1 It was a scumbag move, but not really applicable for the Hall of Shame the way the rules are laid out. Just getting the story out there will probably be enough to keep most people from ever wanting to deal with him. Thanks for the input. I'm more concerned that he lied throwing around the names of other boardies in an attempt to deceive me for a partial refund on the deal. I made the deal and that's that, but felt the deception warranted a discussion. Thanks again. I will have to think this over but if I were representing you in a case over the money you lost selling to RR instead of your other buyers, and if your taking RR's offer over the other (higher) offers was induced through his deception regarding him keeping the book, grandkids, yada yada, I think the claim I would attempt to prove would fall somewhere in the area "theft by deception". I do not want to dismiss what you are saying here at all, because what he did (in a legal setting) is rather serious. But for his claims and but for his inducement you would have sold to someone else for more money. His claims and his means of inducement seem to have been false based on your account of the story. That's pretty serious and not to be dismissed as a "bad deal" or "business as usual". Though it may not be per the "rules," I think this is a good exception. I say put the guy on the list. He's a lying scumbag and I don't want to deal with him. I'm glad Toast came out with the details and put him in the spotlight. I would agree with this, but on the other hand I think there are a lot of members that will not deal with him in the future.
  2. He used to be pretty interesting, pretty awesome/cool/extreme (in a good way) a la Wolverine. Used to be a main character instead of a guy in the background. Then he fell to the wayside for quite some time. They've SORT OF brought him back a bit, but he's not what he used to be. On comiclink and mcs they are all above $200. I think the lowest 9.8 was $225.
  3. This is not new in my collection, but I got it signed in WW Chicago. I remember when I first bought this issue. It was my favorite growing up. I bet I have read it about 300 times. My Grandmother bought this issue for me when I was 13 I think. I think that was the only she ever went into a comic shop. I am a lot older now and I sure missing seeing her, but with this issue she will always be in my thoughts and heart.
  4. I bought 2 off of ebay, I couldn't find any in my area.
  5. dang 203 is baller do you have any asian contacts that can source? I have subcontracted several of Transplant's Asian sourcing contacts including, but not limited to David Lo Pan, Qui Gon Jin, Jhick N. Tiki Masala, and Pad Kee Mao! impressive, most impressive, but you are not a jedi yet!
  6. Quick question, does anybody remember the lcs that had the comic with Thanos on the cover in front of a wanted poster like from X-Men 141?
  7. Oh hell yeah! Yeah, he never really did have a good arch nemesis. He just sort of boobed from one villain to another in the Marvel Universe. +1
  8. Dude you where supposed to send that to my house!
  9. These where already in my collection, since I originally bought them, but while at WW Chicago this year I visited Chris Claremont. and
  10. When I was in line to see Stan on Friday, I saw some different people with FF 1, AF 15, ASM 1, Capt 100, ASM 97, and I had my very first copy of ASM 14. It will not get a very good grade, but since it was my first 14 and the Goblin is my favorite Marvel character I wanted that signed.
  11. I don't have any graded yet, how many do you have?
  12. Getting closer to the $20 mark now...anyone see this continuing? This book is on fire in the last 2 days and it keeps getting hotter http://www.ebay.com/sch/Comics-/63/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=Day+men+1+-x+-xmen&_sop=1 Why is this book on fire? Is it a good read?
  13. I really enjoyed Darkhawk when it first came out and I am way older that the 28-38 crowd. But then again I also enjoyed Rom Spaceknight and Machine Man. So what does that say about me? I also really enjoyed Nova.
  14. I really enjoyed the Clone Wars, it kept getting better and better as the seasons went on. From what I understand they will continue it but in movie form. I will watch the Rebels show.
  15. So how do you know if someone has you on ignore? The threads and their posts would be shorter, they would fall asleep before they finished them.
  16. Ok ladies and gentlemen, in one corner standing in at 5'8" weighing in at 32959 wearing the red and white RMA and in the other corner standing in at 5'8" weighing in at 31796 wearing red and blue Bosco! Ok gentlemen lets have a clean disagreement and when the bell sounds come out
  17. My lcs got 2 of these in the post and I looked at them and they are in horrible shape! Marvel only sent them in envelopes, so trying to get this one is a hg is going to be tough.
  18. RMA is not the only person to sell to PL people, I have seen a few :takeit:'s in threads by people on the list. The way I look at it is that it's up to the sell if he/she wants to sell to people on the list. If he wants to, that's RMA's choice. You don't have to like it or respect it, but it's still his choice. Maybe we should have a little doucherag list. kitsune Never thought I would read a post by Jimmy that actually made sense...... Then the Jimmy I have read popped back!
  19. I'm new here so from my understanding if you put up this icon means it's the buy it now button. Is there a thread about this icon and how we do business on this forum? When you post that icon it means "I'll take that book" and the PL rules give a buyer up to 30 days to pay from the time of posting to complete payment. If you needed more time to pay than 30 days you should have discussed it with the seller prior to posting the This was a comment towards Mr. Ball's thread not yours. Apparently you didn't read the quote prior. I would say that maybe you need to work on your communication. When you said "I must have" What would you expect it to mean?
  20. My head is spinning between this thread and the IM 1 9.4 thread. So kitsune, if you never intended to buy the Gauntlet set when you threw up the "I must have" why didn't you say that to the good Dr? I took that as "I'll take it" also.
