Furby

That poor actual bidder. Wish there were some way to warn him.

Handle: I have no affinity for Furbies. I live on a street that sounds similar to Furby, so I randomly picked that as my handle. I've been regretting it every day since. Avatar: I'm a big hockey fan and have been following the Canucks since the mid-1990s, when I lived in the Seattle area and adopted them as my hometown team during Pavel Bure's heydey and the 1994 Cup run.

Howdy: My name is Jeff and I live in the Boston area. Been a member of the boards for about a year (and just stumbled across the n00b guide) and have completed a few sales and bought a bit more. I collected heavily as a kid in the 1970s, collecting during Byrne's X-Men heydey, the Frank Miller Daredevil run, and various other Marvel mainstays. I remember saving all of my allowance to buy Conan 1 from the Million Year Picnic in Harvard Square in the late 1970s. I think I spent $60, and always assumed it was NM-ish but had no concept of grading as a kid. I sold it recently on the boards, I think as FN+, for like a $40 profit 35 years later. One of my daughters recently got into collecting comics (My Little Pony!) and it rekindled my interest in my collection. Soon I was going through and rebagging, cataloging, re-reading, and checking on the values of a modest collection that had been dormant for decades. It turns out the Hulk 180 that was the kingpin as a kid had long since been supplanted by Hulk 181, which I had (thought it was a 9.0, but had it pressed by Joey and slabbed, and it came back 8.5 WH). I decided last summer to gradually sell off my collection to help our finances a bit, and because I wasn't convinced my kids would be that into my collection. As it probably happens many times, I found the more I relearned the ropes and began selling, the more I spotted comics that caught my eye. Some I recognized as good deals or good investments to sell later, and some I just had to have. I'm still trying to sell off my collection, and am making progress -- two books sell, then I buy a different one back. I've very much enjoyed the boards in the past year and the general kindness of the community. My favorite areas are PGM and the G-S-B sales threads, although lately the probation discussions have been as riveting as Game of Thrones. Cheers, Jeff P.S. I have no affinity for Furbies.

Very happy with several Silver Age DC books I just received from Howard. Solid shipping, solid price, and even a bonus comic! Thanks!

Great seller. Books arrived today in expected condition, probably better. Well packaged and well protected, and at a good price. Also super easy to communicate with. Thanks! Jeff

Got my books today, and they are in terrific shape. Well packaged, as advertised, fast ship. Loved the prices and the extra freebies, too. Terrific communication. What buying on the boards is all about. Thanks, Jake!

Great prices and grading, great shipping, even better communication. I'll be back for more. Thanks for an awesome transaction!

Easy, breezy, awesome transaction. Great communication, prompt payment, and very helpful to us newer board folk. Thanks, Dave! (thumbs u
