So because one person disagrees then let's kill this thread? :shrug: I have nothing to do with whatever direction this thread goes, I'm simply along for the ride. I can hypothesize of what MAY happen.... that's simply my . I hope I'm wrong, but I'm not instilled with confidence after the several pages I read. As far as disagreements go, disagree all you want, at least that's discussion, it's progress. I didn't see a disagreement. Outside of kav's question which was relevant, I saw nothing else regarding the suggestion. I don't know, I'm tired and frustrated. Harvey and lots of others have their heart in the right place but this thread can be very ugly at times. I just don't see the humor in that.

Whatever, I tried. Obviously it's a terrible idea as it's not even being considered. MikesRack I'm with you, lets get the and watch this thing burn.

Yeah but offering something firs before taking something for yourself, come on that's the essence of this thread. Claim then offer is PIF. Giving Tree=give first No vetoes needed, your offers not take, you must change it or pull it. Fundamentally we would switch from trying to match the value of what we got compared to what we give. You have nothing to compare your offer to, your offering in hoes your offer beats out the others, if it does, you get rewarded for the offer by allowing to claim one. I'm not sure how this would work-you go to claim something then post your offer and only get your claim if someone takes your offer-but then they cant take their claim unless someone takes their offer-somewhere down the lina an offer doesnt get taken and all the previous offers fall like dominoes.... How do you not get this? Or are being a smarta$$? You cannot claim an offer unless you already had an offer taken by someone. The only trick is the start, as someone will get to claim something without offering anything, once the ball is rolling, it's so incredibly simple. Do you seriously not get it?

Kav your idea won't work, this whole place is based on commenting, regardless of the relevance. I mean were talking about a way to fix this thread, and boom, picture of a corvette, completely off topic (no offense) None of us have the discipline to NOT comment or have banter, so the idea of eliminating that to fix the problem? That's

Ok so I'm not gonna try to get too into this but I will say this, I don't know Chip any more or less than I know anyone else (save a few exceptions) With that said I have bought from him previously, he never played any type of pity or help me card, he has also went out of his way on here to send me that WW#1 (Thanks buddy (thumbs u That said, I don't get whats wrong with his offer, when it was first posted I don't recall any issues with it, yet as time passed it seemed to become more of a problem :shrug: Regardless, my point is, in my eyes stating that Chip is doing something maliciously or is intentionally offering something bad is absurd, just my Also Harvey, I PM'ed you about this but I now feel that I should at least share my idea with the class as it were. To "fix" this thread, (avoiding these type of discussions) I have an idea for a potential solution, work this in reverse. Instead of claiming something and posting an offering, post your offer first, maybe rotate 3 offers at once, if your offer gets picked, you may now claim a prize. In essence you offer first and get rewarded if your offer is taken and you may then choose. That's the basic premise, still things to iron out about strikes, limits, etc, but I believe my theory could avoid stalling as there would be multiple offers and it could certainly avoid the whole "your offer isn't good" discussions because if it isn't that's ok, you don't get to and your offer gets yanked. Harvey, hope I didnt step on your toes, but I didn't like where this was headed with the bickering and still think my idea MAY work. Apologies if I'm out of line.

I just read this today! I freaking loved it. I'm gonna go get a copy! ???For two reasons.... Well, considering I usually get comics I like, don't know why I need another reason :shrug:

Definitely a top read!

I just read this today! I freaking loved it. I have to get a copy!

Don't ruin my story with your facts!

Damnit kav, just let me have my moment!!! I don't read dictionaries and thesaurus....es all day!

It's been well documented that George R R Martin was (is?) a comic book fan, and he read Marvel. Well in GoT, Craven means cowardly, I can't help but think he hated Kraven for always messing with Spider-Man and decided to make his name synonymous with coward. :shrug: I've never heard that word refer to cowardly before GoT....I'm probably wrong, but I'm gonna go ahead and think I'm right anyway. My version is much better than the probable truth.

Give 'til it hurts, baby. My offer will have to be tomorrow morning, just so everyone knows. April's already asleep and all the comics are in the bedroom on my side of the bed. If I woke her up to pull some books there'd be pain tonight AND tomorrow...I can't take that. I'm old. Peace, Chip Good night Chip! Can't wait to see what on deck. I've got an offer waiting if I claim one.

Yeah, me too and that is highly unusual... I think they're messing with us. At least I hope they are.

I'll pay the 11 other months It's $50 a year, not a month. Don't give Harvey any ideas. I'm not too thrilled myself about having to pay the $50 a year, let alone each month. I see the 50 post rule, this is news to me

How's this one, condition-wise? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Wonder-Woman-1-1987-NM-White-Pages-George-Perez-Artwork-/221486234639?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item33919bbc0f Peace, Chip Yessir (thumbs u PM me your address. It's yours. Peace, Chip :hail: Giving it forward. Posting some free TPBs after physical therapy.

I don't have many WWs, but I have this one, it's not Perez or Minty, but it's kinda groovy. It's yours if you want it Free That's very groovy, so groovy that I own it. But your too kind for the gesture

GA would probably be a little unreal so SA. A minty George Perez WW#1 would also be groovy. A kav original sketch may also suffice....:think:

Well if were making requests, can someone please post some Wonder Woman? I gotta slab or two to offer in return.

Taco Truck rescinded Back up for grabs

He did ask before grabbing it and no one told him they wanted it - but it was at 1:08 AM out here in the East. I think if a person waits 1 days to see if other people want the item after recently getting a freebee would be great. If someone else wants it, go for it. I'll give it up, I dont want this to be an issue. I also think that the time thing is a bad argument, simply for the fact then its favoring EST. For us out west, what if an offer goes up at 9am, can we claim foul since it was 6am for us? What about 7pm, East coast is at home, us on the West still maybe at work so we didnt have time look. So again, if someone else wants the Taco truck go for it, thats why I asked but nw the time it was offered may be an issue. Mr. Swick can we get some sort of official stance regarding timing? Maybe im overreacting, but if we're on the computer out west at 10pm we shouldnt claim or offer anything because its too late for the East?

Its on the the first page, Random Acts of Kindness.
