  1. Is this where all the cool troublemakers hang out? If so, I better leave soon.
  2. What's your con schedule? Probably Wonder Con Anaheim,and Long Beach. Gotcha. Closest west for me this year was Phoenix. Ever come east? No,too damn busy. One day I wanna go to NYCC or Chicago Con.I hear they're the two best. I guess it depends on your goals. NYCC likely attracts the biggest names but I can't say I have fun there. I'll likely skip this year. I want to focus on good buying shows. Amazing Arizona was good and I hear Heroes is also good. come to heroes for sure. You can hang out at the table that Adonis and I bought.
  3. Received some sweet junk from Dale recently. I will treasure it like my other junk. xoxo greggy
  4. Sweet, the President of the United States will be on the show.
  5. The payment method was the only thing missing. As far as "shipping method" being included, 98% of the threads here fail to give that info. They'll list prices, but the majority of them don't specify media mail, parcel post, priority, UPS, or FedEx. Heck, HusTruck charged $10 for shipping, then told people to PM him if they wanted their slabs shipped in a box, in which case he increased the shipping costs. A buyer may think that with the prices charged for shipping that they're getting priority mail, but I think we've all seen sellers charge priority prices then ship media mail. The best sellers though, are the ones who get all butt-hurtz when you ask for them to ship in a box, even when you're nice enough to offer to pay extra just so the slimeball can buy the box to ship the books in. Then of course, they don't bother to insulate the books in any way inside of the box. The noobs and some of the shadier boardies around here are making it where it's not only safer to buy from e-bay, but to also trust Mile High to get accurately graded books. I liked the sales thread a few weeks back, where the seller said all the books were NM/NM+, all the while the bags that the books were in had the Mile High "NM" stickers visible on the majority of the books. And some people have wondered why more and more of the "long-time" best of the best boardies have all but abandoned buying or selling around here. The close-knit sense of community became diluted, so whereas we rarely see sales threads from BronzeBruce, Flaming Telepath, or hell, even greggy, we now get sales threads from Symbiotic, HusTruck, and whoever else the scamster "flavor" of the day is. And in the rare cases where we do have honest dealers offering good books at great deals here, we have the "lunatic fringe" lurking about, ready and willing to whine and cry to the mods just because heaven forbid, somebody posted 8%, instead of the 5% they initially stated, in a sales thread in the G/S/B sales area. Whining because you're thread got moved to the mixed section, when the other seller who simply PM'd the mod and explained his case, and got his sales thread moved back into the G/S/B forum, just showed that too many people here get their "Victoria's Secrets" in a knot way too often. If certain board members would watch out and expose the scammers and shysters around here, instead of continuing to "wage war" with boardies they obviously can't stand, the sales areas would be a lot better off. Instead, we're left with instances where once somebody says something, we pretty much instantly know not only who will post to disagree with them, but that their "posse" will also be sure to follow. It's pretty bad that when certain people post something, you can PM other people and tell them not only who will show up to disagree with them, but also who the sheep will be that will be following the shepherd. Woo hoo...I got mentioned.
  6. Won the Overstreet file copies of these books
  7. My first instinct. I had some long time bozo PM this morning mocking a recent purchase of mine. Instead of being like a couple of retarts posting in this thread recently and wasting my time with an argument, I just deleted the PM and went on with my day. I'm not here to make your day. I like the Rifleman 10. I have no idea if this is the book you're talking about but, either way, all Rifleman 10s should be celebrated. It wasn't that book. That book is a classic.

  9. Tell them to F off or be like me and just delete the PM without any further comment.
