Pirate. Classy. Guy.

You got screwed on the PQ . . .

I'm behind in my Kudos . . . to the following fine forum members: DKB tofer118 cd4ever old man Timmay IITravel djpinkpanther67 Fazybones greggy Tabasco Joe stashman HighVoltage TonyStarkFan DeeDee Wrightson fan for great transactions, and friendly communications! Cheers to all!

Yes. Yes, and there would be more if it had it's own forum I think. So where are we at on the separate WTB forum? About the same place we're at on the "Forum only" selling concept

Major Kudos to old man, cd4ever and agro23 for purchases Fast payment and no BS

Who cares who frequents it? If I put up a WTB post, I couldn't care less who fills it. Lowest price wins. If a zilliion dealers respond to a WTB post, the price will come down. I tend to agree with this. Why does it matter who responds? Will forum members be LESS likely to respond simply because dealers are responding also? Spammers without relent

Now that we have the banner ads, and no holds barred for the forum-only thread . . . why not just shut down the eBay dealer thread and make just two marketplace threads: "Funny Books For Sale" and "Funny Books Wanted"

Who cares who frequents it? If I put up a WTB post, I couldn't care less who fills it. Lowest price wins. If a zilliion dealers respond to a WTB post, the price will come down. Exactly. Also, dealers that are asking more for their books than the "forum market" is willing to pay are unlikely to continue to even bother responding if their posts aren't being met with sales. I think that's the laissez-riche theory

I tend to agree with this. Why does it matter who responds? Will forum members be LESS likely to respond simply because dealers are responding also? Perhaps it will just be another forum, that in principle makes sense, but in practice is abused . . . I find very little use for the marketplace forum now, and find myself simply scanning the sellers names - you can no longer see the forest from the trees.

Lest we forget . . . Abuses abound The following guidelines are now in effect. Over some period of time these may be modified or expanded. As of now, dealers will be allowed to post here on a trial basis as long as all guidelines are respected. This may change if problems occur. Note that BUYERS AND SELLERS HAVE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR TRANSACTIONS. We will not resolve disputes, and purchases and sales are done at your own risk. For Sale – Threads may be removed for failure to comply, and repeated issues could result in strikes. 1. Books must be CGC or raw only, or items directly related to comics. 2. No spamming. Group your for sale items into as few threads as is reasonable. Attempts to take up front page real estate by creating multiple threads for no reason are not allowed. 3. It must be an exclusive board-only offer. If the book is offered for sale through another venue (ebay, dealer site, personal web site, etc.) then it should NOT be offered here. It should be offered in the Sales Advertising board. 4. Links to outside sites for any purpose involving purchasing the offered books are not allowed. 5. It must list specific books with purchase prices. It is acceptable to bulk price, and/or to note that package discounts may be available, but you must list a starting price that you WILL sell for. 6. List scans or information about the grade of the offered books. 7. List estimated shipping costs, times, and methods. 8. List acceptable forms of payment 9. Prompt responses must be made to buy requests made through the boards (posts or PMs). 10. Threads may be bumped three times total AND only ONE FULL DAY AFTER falling off of the front page. This does not include "sold" notices, or truly useful informational updates. Note: we CAN tell the difference between a real update and a fake bump-update. Tread that line at your own risk. If you're spam bumping, "lawyering" the rules will not save you. 11. Thread title must start with "FS:" (for sale) and must give some indication of the types of items for sale.

Nevermind the rules . . . we've now done away with scruples! I'm not even gonna post a link - take your choice. The cream doesn't always rise to the top . . .

That the newest method of subverting the rules as to pricing on these threads is to set a "whacko" price and then asking for offers . . . "I don't know anything about comics, but . . . " Shades of Grandfather's attic stories on eBay

Dude's got the goods! Got a couple of very sweet Spidey's from our man John in Kansas City - cd4ever! Check his sales threads out!!! Kudolicious!

Humongous kudos to the ZeMan for some awesome books! If you ain't buying books from him . . . you a damn fool

I concur . . . the USPS rocks

As it should be.

Crystal. Thanks for your insights Bob.
