Kraven gets a sponge bath!

film at 11

Kraven broke stanley83s back!

I sent a message to the person asking if the picture of the cover in the item is what I am getting-- no response.

we're not gonna fall for the old banana bungalow in the tailpipe trick again

once I place someone on my blocked list, they can no longer send me any correspondence (truly blocked - it is a setting in prefences) UNLESS they have a current item they were dealing with me on in which case they an just keep barking at me. I usually just ignore them.

except this one lady-- who kept asking for this favor and that favor (change it to a buy it now, your item isn't selling - two hours into a 7 day auction -- etc) and when it came down to paying for the item after all I did to make the sale right for her, THREE DAYS LATER she whined about the shipping cost and asked me to pay for some of it. I told her we are done and that I won't allow myself to be manipulated by her and and all her nonsense. Back and forth with messages until I just stopped replying at all.

cool setup. If you want this, pm me your address and I'll send it to you (RAK).

I've been told the autograph is not genuine but my mom got it from the time Hulk's

dad was on her cardiac care floor at St. Joes in Tampa 25 years or so ago.

She was a nurse.

no problem - thanks for the info

About the last episode, did Coulson and May spend about 20 minutes of the show breaking in to steal the painting just to have Sky remotely lookup somehow that Talbot took the painting earlier? Why wouldn't they have figured out where the painting was before they executed the operation? SHIELD is a spy organization and I would expect better intelligence.

 

Also, the first conversation between Coulson and Talbot in the show was very strange. To sum up what was said:

 

Coulson: "Hey, please don't spoil our operation. You might benefit from it."

Talbot: "I might or might not spoil your operation."

 

I was happy to see the witty banter return this episode, even if the circumstances that got us the banter was contrived. I hope the future episodes don't have such forced and contrived storylines though. Basically, they had a checklist of items they wanted to hit and built a story around it. This week's episode was one of the weaker episodes of the series IMHO. I did like that Fitz is finally coming out of the funk he has been in.

Did you miss that he wasn't talking to Talbot but a guy disguised as Talbot?

seems it would pretty easy to find another Kraven at one of the Cons and just have two of them working the list. At the end- the two of them could square off in the classsic who is the REAL KRAVEN episode.

was not saying you are wrong -- just making sure I wasn't blocking the wrong person. The name posted above is invalid as a user name. lower case first letter works. So rather than ASSUME this is correct, I asked.

the whole thing could have been avoided by typing the name correctly with the right case in the first place. It happens far too often on this thread and is pretty annoying. I did not ask for proof-- simply whether or not I had the right person.

Randomstuff704 comes back as an invalid user--

try randomstuff704

are you certain the name is right on this? the guy has really strong rating and FB?

speaking of trimmed books--- does this one look a bit off to anyone else?

Quick! Pick up all the JIM 114's off eBay! Now! RUN!

picking up 115, 121 and 122 wouldn't be a bad idea either

Bears fan so i watched the game. Why anyone would have to choose is beyond me with DVRs being able to record 6 things at the same time -- let alone on demand.

I watched it later-- it was a bit oddly paced but I will keep watching it. The cat seeing the murder was the biggest surprise for me as well. I wasn't a big fan of Arrow and gave up on it after 5 or 6 episodes (not a Green Arrow fan anyway). Stuck with SHIELD which is sometimes a little goofy for me is still entertaining.

How the two shows (SHIELD/Gotham) rolled out the characters is so opposite it is somewhat shocking to the system. I am giving it the benefit of the doubt. Haven't really seen anything amazing with Gotham yet though the cinematography is pretty well done.

Guy sent a High Grade Invincible #1 with just a bag and board for protection. Needless to say it's Mid to High Grade

fyi -- case sensitive -- use jolchowski instead

what other things could Stan have written on this book to make it more appealing (besides not writing on the book)

"Sorry for defacing your book"

"I had almost nothing to do with anything that went on with this particular book"

"So I sez - make a character with claws - boom, I created the Wolverine"

he is-- but it is important work guarding the cities important silver candelabras. You try stealing those and don't be surprised if you get shot in the face or thrown off a fire escape.

Infamous Atari E.T. cartridges moving from landfill to eBay, museums

 

When a documentary film company unearthed tens of thousands of unsold copies of ET: The Extraterrestrial for the Atari 2600, it put one of gaming’s biggest myths to rest.

 

Now, though, there's the question of what to do with them. In a 7-0 vote this week, the city council of Alamogorado, New Mexico -- home to the famous dump that contained the games – has decided to auction some off and send the rest to museums.

 

All totaled, the dig for the buried title resulted in a whopping 792,000 games being discovered (including E.T and 58 other titles). The council has so far agreed what to do with 1,300 of them.

 

Eight hundred will be auctioned off on eBay in three different lots. That's meant to help the town get a better sense of the value of these pieces of gaming history. The rest will be packaged together and lent to museums. Inquiries have already come in from as far as Rome.

 

"Part of the problem is that the digging up of these games is a unique situation," said Joe Lewandowski, manager of the dig site. "No one has ever done anything like this before and no one will probably ever do anything like this again. ... We thought we were going to get 30,000 or 40,000 games, there's 792,000 down there, but we got 1,300, and one hundred of them went to the film company so that's increased their value."

 

Lewandowski says the city has already received a $500 offer for one copy of the landfill version of E.T. New Mexico's Museum of Space History will be handling the next steps: inventory, certification and re-sealing the games.

 

At the moment, a copy of E.T. sells for less than $10 on eBay, but that's one without historical significance. Got a guess as to how much people will pay for one that has been buried for years?

 

ok-- they proved it wasn't a myth. So leave it buried. No one needs that .

Kinko's will make a 3 by 4 poster for like $3

if someone wants to do that, let me give them the full resolution scan file -- these are modified for the forum

maybe a photo isn't good enough-- I'll scan it instead

we're both big Kirby fans and had several PMs back and forth talking about his work on Thor/JIM.
