  1. Note to self : I really must stop listing things late at night...
  2. Not gonna lie. That makes me a little wet. Awesome book
  3. Ehh... I really think the offers should be solely from the offerer. I was just putting this up as a rando to somebody who would jones on it
  4. I'm indifferent, but I think that's against Harvey's rules...
  5. Late night free offer SDCC 2013 Hasbro Deadpool Taco Truck If you want it, take it.
  6. Even tho they'd only get one strike, it would probably get them a veto right away the next time they claim something. So they'd be out of the thread pretty quick...
  7. I think your rules are good as they are. I think eventually this thread will settle into something amazing. Continual changing of the already solid rules will just turn this into a glorified PIF. Believe me Andre, I hear what you're saying. But I have to consider a "feeding frenzy" like this last weekend where numerous offers are taken and people use their claims. I want to be able to have a way to let them still participate while also ensuring those that haven't yet still have first "dibs". I don't see any harm if an offer has been sitting and everyone has had a decent opportunity to take it and don't - if there is a willing taker, why not let them. Everyone that takes something still has to offer something up in return and face receiving a strike or a veto from the offeror. More also means more chances of receiving a strike and losing the ability to participate in the future. I get where you're coming from, but if we're averaging 5 claims per day, that's 150 claims per month. I truly don't think that's too many out of all the awesome people on this board. Commenting from obvious personal experience, the constant tweaks to well thought out rules is slowing the claiming process more than the offers themselves. I think your rules are solid. Changing the rules daily will only lead to a progressive decline in the integrity of the thread.

  9. Why do you have to start measuring inches? You're gonna give Kraven a complex...
  10. Nothing tight now, but looking at a minor silver age key (asm 50) with a double cover. Just deciding if I will pay extra for the defect. For me it would also depend on both the covers. If it's a silver age with a pristine inner cover and outer, I probably wouldn't care. If they're both right and tight, I'd have a conflicting inner monologue...
  11. If Hokie or craven want to pass it off to me for a few days at comic con, I can take him to meet some giraffes or rhinos at the safari park...
  12. To me it would depend on the year, just like a regular slab. A modern double cover would command less of an increase than a silver age double cover.
  13. Can everyone please discuss this? We talked about it and I believe that if someone offers something that is generally accepted is a fair and generous offer and for whatever reason is NOT claimed, they shouldn't get a strike. :news::news::news: How do I put this into the rules though? Is it a majority vote? Is there a poll? I need to address this in the rules and need everyone's input. :news::news::news: If an is put out, and the previous offerer has the option to veto, then maybe if the current offer expires, then they also have the option of negating the strike? Either that or Harvey.
  14. Ya gotta love the 'Take it or Else I'll Let it Expire' ultimatums. God forbid someone actually putting some effort into it and changing it up every so often out of respect for all boardies, and keeping the thread/good karma rolling. Well, you were a horribly useless person in PIF. Don't know why I should expect different here
  15. Screw it. I guess I'll be the guinea pig for all of it in this thread. Big daddy, sorry, but your offers have continually stalled the PIF, so I don't think this is shaping up to be any different. I use my veto. My offer is back up now. It's not changing. Either somebody else can claim, Hokie can veto, or it can expire. I'm fine with any of those choices at this point.
  16. Please. Nobody's fooled and the situation is being watched. Man. If you didn't like my offers, fine. But now you're just being a piece of mess about it.
  17. You really have no clue if you think I'm trolling this thread for scores. There's no point in mixing it up yet, because there's too much person_without_enough_empathying for my offer to stay on the front page. If people don't want mystery boxes, fine. Now that it's in the rules I won't post one again. Any cursory search of my participation should show I don't to the minimum when it comes to that, but whatever. As far as exclusives go, my participation in the last Holiday Raffle and PIF should give a gauge of what I'd have to offer. Last time I posted an offer at 2 in the morning, which was a statue, I got tons of PM flack for it. Hence waiting til generally everybody was around to post this offer. If it's not up to spec, it will get vetoed or expire.
  18. OPTION 1 Choose 6 trades and one Mystery Box (sorry for upside down pics) A X-men Mystery Box B Wolverine Mystery Box C Deadpool Mystery Box OPTION 2 Uncanny X-men 232 CGC SS 9.8 signed by Claremont and Silvestri OPTION 3 SDCC 2014 Exclusive Grab For this option you will get to choose an item out of my exclusives from SDCC. Last year I had stuff from Hasbro, Lego, Marvel, Funko... I can try to accommodate a specific request, but no guarantees. This item will obviously ship after comic con. Because of the weight and size of most of these options, US shipping only on these, except for option 2. I will pay first $20 on that for International.
  19. The offer would've been up at 4 in the morning if that was the case....
  20. I'm gathering stuff up. I'll have the offer up within the hour. Sorry, I'm on San Diego speed right now
  21. This isn't PIF, this is the Giving Tree, now GIVE!!! Haha. Last time I did that there was a thing over that statue... I'll make sure it's up to par and worth the wait
