  1. I can't comment on Columbus, but I believe the Oktoberfest in Cincinnati is one of the largest in the world. I've been down there the past few years and it's not quite the drunken rage of St Patrick's in Cleveland but the streets are packed and a portion of the city is closed down to facilitate.

     

    I doubt it helps with con attendance though - I was just trying to speculate as to why some insufficiently_thoughtful_person would think that date would work well for Cleveland lol

  2. Whoever decided this should occur over St Patrick's Day weekend should be shot. Repeatedly.

     

    I'll probably wander down there Saturday to check it out but I'm not sure what it will do to attendance.

     

    On the other hand, the Cincinnati Con often overlaps with the Oktoberfest down there so maybe this was deliberate?

  3. I remember getting up on Saturday mornings to work the breakfast line at McDonalds, leaving that to go work a landscaping job and then leaving that to work at the mall in the afternoons and the evenings.

     

    At the same time I was doing "things" on the side to make money. Unholy things... bad things... things that I am ashamed of today to admit I was doing. What was this horrible thing I did? I made arrangements with a guy at Toys R Us and sold Power Rangers figures to desperate parents at Christmas time.

     

     

    I did what it took...

     

     

     

     

    I un-friend you.

  4. What do you guys think about buying under these conditions:

     

    1. Requiring buyer to pay for full value insurance (beyond the flat $50 insurance covered with priority mail)

    2. No returns for any reason

    3. Insurance claims are on the buyer to submit, manage and deal with.

    #2&3 in a sales thread means I close the sales thread.

     

    Until the buyer (myself in this situation but I'd feel the same way if I were the seller) is satisfied, ideally by receiving their merchandise but by refund or some other agreed upon method as needed, the seller needs to play an active role in ensuring the transaction is completed.

     

    No returns for any reason is a crock. I understand that Ebay basically forces returns so it's probably in response to that but you have to allow for some returns or you're being unreasonable.

  5. Anybody want to provide the short version of Comiclink's rationale for continuing to use the stickers, when they know it bothers a lot of people?

     

    Free Advertising, Same reason why when you buy a car, the dealership puts their name decals on the back of your car

     

    I won't purchase a car from a dealership until they remove the sticker or badge (if it's a license plate frame I can handle removing it myself) as if I'm happy with the service I'll tell people. I'm not buying something from them to be a mobile billboard.

     

    As for the C-Link stickers, WD-40 is a pretty solid adhesive remover and it shouldn't harm the case plastic.
