    MCS ripping people off?  Say it isn't so!  You would never be able to tell from their self-published reviews!

    Technically its not mcs ripping anyone off. It is a consignment item and the owner of the comic sets the price on mcs website. 

    Mycomicshop has nothing to do with the consignment pricing.

    This board is moderated well.

     

    Hilarious.

     

    One of the many reasons for CBSI's success is the civil forum that they provide.

    This board has degraded into an online asylum.

     

    Overall CGC should be ashamed of what this has become.

     

     

    I'd be curious to see a cBSi's "success" defined. What exactly is it successful at? Where is the proof of this success?

     

    cBSi is successful because of they have a civil discussion board? An invite only G+ group that bans anyone who doesnt drink the kool-aid is hardly a "civil forum".

     

    But, why would a "comic book investing" site be judged successful based on the civility of its forums? (which they arent)

     

    99% of their articles highlight books which are worth less today then when they were written about..... on a site about "investing". That is is not success, but abject failure.

     

    cBSi is successful at *temporarily* pushing up the value of books they highlight (only for them to drop off again soon after). cBSi is successful at helping move store variants, which benefit cBSi and the store, but are worthless as "investments" which is what the site is supposed to be about.

     

    cBSi uses the massive resources and internet traffic of the CGC forums, like a leech, to feed themselves. Obviously blacklisting cBSi would be wrong(and I am free speech nut), but there is no shame that CGC doesnt moderate their forum to make the moderns section a cBSi cheerleading squad as some would have it be.

     

    cBSi's snake oil peddling only works because of the state of the market for comics right now, when it finally turns, they will be washed out with the tide.

     

    Dude we get it you hate CBSI. You post the exact same junk every time. Move on with your life. CBSI isnt going anywhere but your whining about them gets old. :slapfight:

    THIS THREAD IS THE BEST THING TO HAPPEN SINCE SLICED BREAD.

     

    What was the best thing before sliced bread?

     

    Betty White, she was born 6 years before sliced bread.

     

    You are not allowed to estimate on the boards or certain people on here start to rage and cry.

    I'll have to ask you for proof that Betty White was born 6 years before sir.

    I will also not give you any alternative ideas as to make a better estimate i will just complain about your estimates.

    I have named no names so if you assume i'm talking about you or you or you then well maybe i am. :hi:

     

    1. Where was the estimate in that joke and how in the world did you make the jump from that joke to your whining post?

     

    2. If you don't have enough information to make a proper estimate, don't just start pulling numbers out of your .

     

    3. It doesn't matter that nobody can provide the information necessary to make an actual estimate (Okay, there are people who can, but they won't, and those people could also just provide the number that you're trying to guess).

     

    4. If you're seriously complaining about people being called out for posting ridiculous , please do the world a favour and nominate yourself for a Darwin Award.

     

    Well you just proved the point i was trying to make.

    Thanks Bunches !

    Have a nice Day

    :whee:

    So this is still happening.

    How about we get the this thread back on track.

    Arguing over the internet is pointless.

     

    Still Hot !

    Arguing over the internet is not pointless at all.

     

    Trying to change someone else's mind over the internet (or, indeed, at all) is pointless, yes, but there are more people involved than just those "arguing", and THOSE people are the important ones.

     

    And, truth and facts are always, always of infinitely more value than lies and misinformation, whether by negligence or purpose.

     

    No, it is never, ever pointless to speak the truth in public. If people are going to speculate, at least they ought to do it with their eyes wide open.

     

     

    If people are dumb enough to purchase items because of something a random person on the internet said and they dont do their own research.

    These people have no one to blame but themselves.

    So are we now going to argue over how i disagree with what you say ?

    Arguing over the internet is 100% pointless.

    You will never change my mind and i will never change yours but we can argue till the sun goes down no winners just people with keyboards.
