  1. You are probably 100 % spot on. Their massive exposure to buyers will keep them viable. I just wish they would do more to police the place - especially when obvious shilling is handed to them on a plate. Besides reporting the above - what else can we do? I don't sell many items over $500 on ebay - I buy even less. I sell mostly low value common stuff - volume sales if you will - to fund books I really want. Those I buy on here exclusively - this is pretty much the only buying platform i use. If ebay were policed like here - happy days!
  2. Both these auctions are being blatantly shilled. 11 feedback 'bidder' highest with 100% bids on this 'seller' - slam dunk shill. Report both. Get on live chat to report in person. Ebay commit.......to doing nothing Complete waste of time. I don't mind paying a fair price, but I hate manipulation - especially such obviously dumb shilling. If he wants $300 - put in a reserve, or start bidding at $300. I'll decide to buy or not. This really annoys me - absolute lack of accountability by ebay, and endemic around the world. When ebay eventually decline and wither, which they will one day, it's because they turn a blind eye to BS like this. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/112-Brand-New-Star-Trek-Toys-Highly-Collectable-Must-Have-For-Your-Collection/402508069372?hash=item5db759b9fc:g:YSYAAOSwuKBfkXvs https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/540-Judge-Dredd-Comic-Books-Very-Rare/402508107078?hash=item5db75a4d46:g:VH0AAOSwFeRfkYM4
  3. Episode 2 continues to impress. Bit too much 'Mcguffin' at times - but that's the only very small quibble. Great transition from crew to Team, and the biggest dog in the yard is taught it's new place in the future. It's really Star Trek meets Firefly and combines the best of both. Great Sci-Fi Interestingly - new writers, new directors in Discovery, and they are really making this new Star Trek franchise hum nicely. 8/10
  4. Are you selling some of these on facebook as well? I'm unsure what 'Girl waffling Comics' means... When did we allow bitcoin as a form of payment?
  5. Does anyone else prefer it when a sales thread is restricted to say, 8 pages or 72 hours of steady listing then closed and another starts if the seller has more? I'd like a think about having a limit imposed, or a definate stop time to a thread and when to get a new one started. An 80 page thread running over 3 months (not aiming at anyone particular, just an example scenario) doesn't persuade me to go through it, then find a book I wanted is sold 21 pages later. The other thing: List books one at a time with prices - I can tell you now - an opening post with 30 book titles, grades and prices, does not tempt me to scroll through the next 3 pages of pics, go back, check the price, go back again...etc etc Some threads are now very long and very messy - and costing them sales.

  7. I enjoyed last season - this is a whole higher level though. Really good.
  8. Season 3 - its great - everyone should watch it! Goodness me - how epically good was the opening episode! Star Trek meets Andromeda with a bit of Star Wars thrown in. If they keep this up, this will be an awesome season. Genuinely moved by 'Acting Communications Officer Sahil' This is top shelf sci-fi 9/10 Loved it!
  9. Just tried to watch episode 3. I actually turned it off . 1st episode of any series and any season. I always watched to the end. Not this. Totally unwatchable. Read the reviews...... https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/the_walking_dead_world_beyond/s01/reviews?type=user Highlights included: Finding a tin of 'Serial Killers favourite Stew' in the stationary cupboard. Fearless leader refusing to tell the 'Rescue Party' where 'trapped Moody Anorexic Teen' was. 6 people wandering around the pit of death without ............. Ah screw it - there were no highlights. Total garbage. PS: Are some of the kids wearing wigs?? 0/10
  10. I get no pleasure from this. I loved the Walking Dead but it just ran out of steam. There were some great seasons in the original series, and John D and Co in FTWD S4 was very good. This is an insult to those seasons, and the first 50 issues of the comic. It really is tragically bad. And such a shame.
  11. 100 Bullets #1 pays for that alone. Perfect example of a "buy at a fair price but if you are prepared to list yourself , you will make 3x your outlay" haul. Nice
  12. I think @Buzzetta was going to wait a week? He may have had points before - Shoo, not Buzz - and this may have tipped him into 3 month ban territory. Or Not. No point waiting longer than the week, so any day now I'd have thought. I know @Catwomancomics has sent the required PM to 'The Shoo" So it's a summary of misdeeds, a poll for 30 days and then the decision. So just waiting for the write up.
  13. Too close to Cheetah in WW84 Too close to Black Panther movies. I see no way to make it original So DC will obviously make it. Got a couple of Action 521 being slabbed as we speak
  14. "Crawl" starring (if that's the right word) Barry 'Battlefield Earth' Pepper See for free on Amazon Prime - it's even worse than The Walking Dead - World Beyond, something I never thought possible. 0 / 10
  15. Not a complaint Bosco - mild disappointment. I agree Stormfront was very well done, and the story change was seamless - Kudos to the writers. No complaints there. I'm not a purist by any stretch - hell I got my "Terror" cameo so all is good in the world....BUT, (you knew there was a but...) Pretty much the ENTIRE run of the Boys Comic relied on all 3 of Frenchy, MM and BB being just below the strength of the Seven. They could 'do' Stormfront themselves, and seeing as the Voight Empire was based on A, B and C teams, then it was their ability to beat the B and C teams one on one that gave them the ability to 'give them a right good slap' It just for me, at the moment, seems like they are relying on good luck, Hughies relationship with Starlight, and Maeve's flip flopping to be alive after 2 seasons. I'd just like to see a little bit more of the original book. I think most of the changes have been well done - but for me, they aren't The Boys yet, they are a very weak Supe, + a nutter, a very unused character (MM) and a brave but soft Hughie. Frenchy is spot on. His character is superb I'm also loving the cameos by actors from other Superhero movies. So maybe my 6.5 / 10 was based on nostalgia - I have been a fan since the book started - so whilst I really do think some of the changes have been great (Stormfront, The Senator, Lamplighter, and even The Deep - Plus Ash is a great actress, I genuinely want to throw her off a building myself after another corporate BS speech! ) - I can't see how the show goes on without getting boring if they don't get compound V. You can only be lucky so often. Unless you are Domino So for you Bosco, after reflection 7 / 10
  16. I agree. The major weakness is the same as the last. THEY. ARE. NOT. JUICED. UP. Starlight can't keep saving them, nor can 'The Girl' - Frenchie ,MM, Hughie and Billy B need juice to compete. Herogasm was mooted as season 3. That can't happen without The Boys being full of Compound V - or any other arcs for that matter. All The Boys were full Supes by now in the comics - inc Hughie The Russian arc won't happen as that was clearly 'The Love Sausages' only appearance. Nice twist at the end, and the shaven-headed girl has to appear again soon ( If they do an Aliens re-boot, well they found Ripley!) Average 6.5 /10
