    Star Wars: Rogue One

    in The Movie Forum

    Posted

    Here's something I want to share. At the 27-28 second mark we see a girl dressed like Aphra and after the commercial ends they say that Rouge One is coming out on the 16th so that means that she will either make a cameo or appear in this movie or the next one they have planned but this is just my opinion.

    Posted

    The guy had a mish mosh of paper spread among several long boxes (magazines, comics, newspapers etc). I pulled out a few comics, nothing spectacular, which were $3. I was about to leave, when I took another look at a box that was primarily magazines, and there it was. After picking my jaw off the ground, in the calmest voice I could muster, I asked the gent how much - "Oh that one's old - $5." I quickly handed him $5 and skedaddled.

     

    I came back to look through the boxes again and ask the guy if he had any other comics - he told me he had 3 others like that "old one" I had bought, but he sold it before. So I guess if any Action 1s come on the census, we will know where it came from.

     

    Haha it makes you wonder if he did he any then someone got the score of a lifetime.

    Books sold

     

    Harry potter and the philosophers stone 1 copy of 2

    Paid $37USD

    Sold for $33USD

     

     

    Why? Auction didn't go as high as you expected, or just trying to recoup costs faster?

     

    Jim

     

    Pretty sure he's saying he bought two copies for $37 USD.

     

    I think...

     

    That's correct and I sold 1 copy for 33USD

     

    So then what should have been posted was...

    Yes it has. Not by a lot but just give it some more time. Yes I was reading about that and how sports cards fell in value but you can make money with this.

    I also hear that you, er... one can also make money selling comicbooks too.

     

    :grin:

     

     

    I'm doing that as well and currently working on digging myself out of the hole I'm in.

     

    TRY THIS (or any other restaurant or retailer or anything, really)

     

     

    When I got out of High School I walked right over to the Sizzler restaurant and got a job as a busboy/dishwasher. Not glamorous, but I worked from there up to line cook, learning prep, eventually becoming meat cutter, and wound up as a Designated Trainer as I could train most of the positions in the place and even train supervisors. I was eventually getting trained to be a manager. I, even, got taken to other Sizzlers to help them get ready for inspections.

     

    I worked for Safeway starting as a bagger and was promoted twice within the first three months I was there.

     

    I walked into Serta manufacturing warehouse as low man making min. wage and was quickly promoted to making box spring coils, to making box spring wood frames, to making mattresses, and each one was a higher paying job. They were about to make me a floating jr supervisor because I could do so many functions there and even repair damaged units. Then I got really injured and couldn't work like that anymore.

     

    I said that as even if you have to start at the bottom you can always get promoted to higher paying positions. Don't sell yourself short and be of the mind to the job you are being paid for.

     

     

    Thanks for the advice and may I ask what happened to you?

     

    The years of heavy work took a toll on my spine. Almost the lower half of the spine discs are dying. It has created all kinds of problems from my hips down where I lose circulation and I live in chronic pain daily and even affects my ability to walk and sleep. I could no longer work and am now on disability.

     

     

    I'm sorry to hear that, is there any medication or treatment?

     

    Thank you and no, they just try to make me as comfortable as possible.

     

    I see I wish you all the best and if I find something I'll let you know.

    :grin:

     

     

    I made money one time by going to college, learning some skills, studying to get a certification, then getting a job. Yes I will be paying $100 per month for the rest of my life in student loans. So I guess it didn't work out? Except I'll probably make at least 4.5x more than $100 per month for the rest of my life?

     

    And I heard about this one guy who grew up in Italy and moved to Philly for high school, then was drafted to play basketball by Hornets and was traded to the Lakers. He was accused of rape and blew up Shaq's spot, but later won a bunch of NBA Championships.

     

    I know this other guy who was born and raised in Philadelphia. I believe on the playground is where he spend most of his days. He got in one little fight and his mom got scared and was subsequently sent to live with his auntie and uncle in Bel-Air, California.

     

    I heard about this other guy from Canada, half-Jew/half-black. He speaks slowly and softly to the beat about how he can't tell girls how he feels about them while rooting for any and every basketball team. He makes money somehow too.

     

     

    I know the third one is Will smith and that's it. You say you have a debt that you'll be paying for the rest of your life so why not pay it all off at once? I'm sure they charge you interest on it. And like you guys have taught me it could be money better spent elsewhere.

     

     

    Let me get this straight...You are giving financial advice to...ANYONE??? :roflmao:

     

    You can laugh if you want but I'm getting out of the hole and if someone asks I do my best to help.

    The first few years are when you pay the most interest but also when you make the least money, so the odds of anyone paying off the loan early in the life of the loan are low. Then after 5 years, you'd rather keep paying low interest on your school loan and use your cash for the down payment of your house, which would probably have been a higher interest loan. Then, a few years after you bought your house and saved up some cash and can probably pay off your school loan, the interest is pretty low and is tax deductible, to the point where my effective interest paid (after taxes) per year is like $10-$30 and slowly shrinking every year.

     

    But every situation is unique. It may depend on interest rates, your family financial situation, your credit rating, whether or not you're married, have kids, own a house, etc. For me, by the time I felt financially secure enough to payoff my school loans, it didn't really make sense to. I'd rather pay a little bit per year and have a nest egg ready in case something bad (or good) happens.

     

    For example, if I lost my job and I had $40K in savings I could survive, even if I have to pay $200 in interest per year on my school loans. But if I paid off my school loans and had zero savings, it would be VERY hard to get a loan from the bank for $40K if I was fired from my job, and if I did, the rate would be way higher.

     

    There's nothing inherently wrong with borrowing money, whether its a credit card or school loan or mortgage. Nothing wrong with paying interest, that's how and why banks exist. And that's how business get started everyday and how houses get bought everyday. But a person needs to be able to manage it and understand it and respect it.

     

     

     

    That's a good way of looking at it and I'll keep that in mind. I just read it's better to get rid of your debts before everything adds up to the point of where you can't handle it anymore. I know there is good debt and bad debt but many people I've now and stuck with debt because they treated credit cards like atm's. I do like how you saved the money up the was a smart thing.

    He already applied there. I have to assume since we heard nothing about it after he dropped off his resume that he didn't get the job.

     

    That's correct.

    1) Kobe Bryant

    2) Fresh Prince of Bel Air - AKA Will Smith

    3) Drake

     

    Now school him on student loans.

    I believe that student loan has a sweeter and more flexible repayment plan so it's sometimes better to pay the monthly payments.

     

    But what do I know about student loan repayments?

     

    Not sure but paying the minimum all the time will keep you with them forever but I guess to each their own.
