  3. Divad, you do realize that he got the Avengers the next day, right? And are you *actually* trying to tell us that these two things are equivalent and that somehow TFL is going to escape "the list". This whole "he was mean to me, so now I don't have to pay" excuse would NEVER fly anywhere else - try that with a bank manager sometime. It's just bizarre equating the two, especially since TFL has the Avengers book and Filter is out $25K on the HT sale. If you have any personal dealings or friendship with TFL, I think you'd better state it now, or I think it's time to organize a coup. Not at all Vince. He's on the list. No one equated the two acts. I didn't endorse either buyer or seller's behavior. And beside, you know you are my best friend on the boards. My comments were non-judgmental, as I seriously doubt the veracity and motivation of both parties. Would I have waited 5 months without payment? No. Would I have held $26,000 worth of books for a deadbeat? No. Doesn't anything sound wrong to you? You can monitor the list any freakin' time you want.
  4. Done. Now I think the ensuing discussion should be had elsewhere so we don't bury the list.

  6. No, I don't. I'm not here to assign fault. Nor do I endorse the statements of either. Please don't put words in my mouth. If you're not here to assign fault or endorse statements, what exactly are you good for? I definitely didn't put words in your mouth. I simply said, "Do you feel it's a 50/50 proposition?" That's implied from your statement. My answer was no.
  7. No. Yes. And no thanks - I read as much as I could stomach. Once again, it's not MY list - it's the board's list. My apologies, I didn't see a poll anywhere - shoot me a link please. I haven't conducted any business with either of you. As to this transaction, it appears to have been handled very poorly.

  9. I hope it isn't one of my threads. I check GPA the day I post books and use both the 12 month GPA and last sale columns to go off of and try to stay below both of those prices. Brian Brian, I am fairly certain that Michael is not referring to your sales thread. David
  10. I am troubled by the statements made on both sides of the coin . . . by both buyer and seller. I am also troubled by the rush to judgment and pontification of my fellow Board members who are at best, making judgments based on an absence of information. I think foolkiller (as usual) has made the best analysis. I am disturbed by the buyer's delays in making promised payments, but I am also disturbed by the seller's withholding delivery of the first book that was paid for. There are statements made by both parties that don't quite ring true to me. Suffice to say, that at the total value of this transaction, the contract and payment terms should have been laid out with greater care. I recently did a time payments transaction for a high dollar book (well, for both of us) that went without a hitch. I allowed the buyer to present the terms, and then I evaluated whether or not to accept them. After some thought, I accepted clear concrete terms. The buyer exceeded the terms and completed payment well in advance of the promised date. I suppose a poll is the only way to resolve this issue, as I think the reputations of both parties have suffered already. I will set one up later tonight or tomorrow.
  11. I trust that a response is forthcoming . . .
  12. Correctomundo. 30 days is way too long IMO. IMO also, but it seems to be working.
  13. No argument there . . . but "amended" would be a more appropriate notation I anticipated an HOS nomination considering the plethora of commentary and his response thereto . . .
  14. Comicseekers has been removed from the list based on various representations of resolutions achieved. This is not an endorsement, but simply recognition that he has made the necessary efforts to resolve his conflicts with other Board members. If you feel you have an outstanding dispute with anyone, this is the place to report it. However, it is often difficult to "separate the wheat from the chaff" due to the amount of unwelcome banter in this thread. Please refrain from unwarranted commentary here, thank you.

  18. It's OUR list, not MY list. And btw, when you bump it, do so without quotes or signature and feel free to update the date . . . thankyouverymuch
  19. Is this the picture on your driver's license? I didn't think so . . .
  20. He was on the list before? I had no idea Me either. I have mentioned this before that a running history would be nice. Once on the list you should not get removed but flagged as removed. A running history is contained within this thread. So ... you want people to read through 219 pages of posts in order to check if someone has been on the probation list & then subsequently removed again? No, I don't. Well you will if you want to know the info... I personally think that once a buyer/seller is off the main list then they stay off until they're in violation again.. Keeping a running historical list does nothing but give the person a continual black eye even after making things right. At it's purest, the probation list is a punitive measure to try to coerce someone to fix a bad deal. Keeping people on the list serves no incentive for someone to fix a situation... Jim Well reasoned, I concur.
  21. He might need a spanking as well. You're just the man to do it Mr.Diggler should be happy to be acknowledged as a man Do you know something we don't? we are gonna get into trouble for horsing around in this thread. Take it to General, Guys!
  22. He was on the list before? I had no idea Me either. I have mentioned this before that a running history would be nice. Once on the list you should not get removed but flagged as removed. And Michael Vick should never play again in the NFL . . . Be my guest, if anyone wishes to take over this task Cap_freak was indeed a repeat offender - twice I believe. But he made good or was excused. I won't even mention his questionable practices in the grading contests . . .
