When will/will the WALKING DEAD bubble burst?
architeuthis replied to The-Collector's topic in Comics General
Excessive masturbation chafes the skin for most people. This does not appear to be the case with zombies. That also. -

+1,000,000 People who throw out bids early and say "I just bid what I want to pay" don't understand the psychology of auctions. People are m0rons when it comes to bidding - and if you disagree, I would reference you to this $50 Amazon gift card that got bid up to $106. And that's not the only one - there are hundreds of completed listings like that. This. However, I have ended up losing out with sniping on harder to value items that don't have a well established run of recent sales. I think it should go $XXX, may be willing and able to even go $XXX x2 or x3 but have no idea if I'll need to and don't want to just get shilled up, but there hasn't been a sale in long enough that I may well be underestimating. So, I usually will throw in an early bid at 60-75% of where my snipe will (theoretically) be, just to see if I'm blown out of the water early and need to dig deeper for data. May still cost me, but in the end I'm still paying what I'm willing to part with, the late max snipe prevented (some) shilling up, hopefully, and the hard to find bauble didn't get away

Pictures? Happy to! I posted my comic room in the CG thread a while back in two installments (as I worked on getting it set up). The first was here: http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Board=4&Number=4388386&Searchpage=2&Main=89816&Words=ChiSoxFan&topic=0&Search=true#Post4388386 The second (after I got some of the statues set up) was on this page: http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1623360&fpart=491 I have a handful of other sweet books (an Avengers #4, an Action 252, and a Detective 359 to name a few) that I've picked up since the photos that aren't shown there. ETA: I just noticed you'd commented on the second set of pics, so it looks like you saw some of it already. Wow. Just... wow. (thumbs u

What are you Reading now ..... other than comics ?
architeuthis replied to jimjum12's topic in Comics General
That's EXACTLY the reason I bought all 3 books. But reading all 3 in the space of 2 weeks? That was because they were as addictive as all get out. I could not put them down. As far as trilogy's go this is up there with Guillermo Del Toro's "Strain Trilogy" which I also just finished this year. THE definitive mdern vampire novel. Like CSI meets The Stand meets Necroscope. And while we're talking Trilogy's I just read the Pine Deep Trilogy by Jonathan Maberry again. Literary crack of the highest order. Others worth mentioning: - The Repairman Jack novels by F. Paul Wilson. - The Sandman Slim novels by Richard Kadrey - Agent Pendergast by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Childs. - The Joe Ledger books by Jonathan Maberry. - The Felix Castor books by Mike Carey Last year I got a good friend hooked on the Repairman Jack books and his wife called me while he was reading the 6th book and asked me if she was ever going to get laid again. I told her she better stock up on batteries because there's 15 books in the series. The kicker? Last year I got her hooked on the Pendergast books and my good buddy has been spending a lot of time renting Shane's World videos.... I am happy to share. I have a lot of these in paperback that I've bought so that I can share with friends (that's you ) So if any of the above books interest you send me a PM and we'll see if I can get something in your hands to read over the Holidays (thumbs u Seconding the Sandman Slim series... with the exception of the latest (4th, I believe) installment "Devil Said Bang" Maybe it just isn't clicking with me, but after 3 reads, I'm beginning to think it really just is gawd awful -
Or, for that matter, who has been on it and is no longer? Perhaps I am overly cautious, but being new here and knowing virtually none of the sellers, I have read through this thread quite a few times looking for said sellers before posting an "I'll take it". Like a credit report, if you've screwed up in the past and made good, it does have long term repercussions. While I appreciate and respect what it takes for a person to stand up, own up and make it right, it still doesn't make me overly eager to spend my money if it took public censure to do so. A separate sub-list of redeemed members, perhaps? Expiring after a voted upon time period? My anyway, for what it's worth.
