Star wars update

 

I don't have any scans that I can find but my star wars 1 was bought by David prowse and I didn't even know who he was but it was awesome to find out.

 

How do you know it was him?

The owner of the lcs told me and I just shrugged it off because I didn't really care who bought my comic and then something clicked and I asked him about it.

So all in all that was pretty cool if I see him again I want his autograph.

I believe the word you are looking for is 'consign'.

 

This guy gave you the answer Gabe. You mixed up words in your head. There is a person who co-signs for a loan and there is a time when you give something to someone else to sell for a percentage which is to consign a book. Mixing up a word is not the end of the world but a simple google search for your word would help you clear things up. Yet another instance where you have to actually understand what is being said (written) rather then just reacting.

 

No actually this is another instance where you assumed something again, I checked out the word before I responded and was confused why it didn't match what I was thinking. What I view consigns for is a loan for a car, house, school or business.

 

 

 

 

 

you are joking, right?

 

 

 

don't believe 1Cool or Ryan were incorrect in the least......

con·sign

kənˈsīn/

verb

3rd person present: consigns

 

deliver (something) to a person's custody, typically in order for it to be sold.

"he consigned three paintings to Sotheby's"

synonyms: assign, allocate, place, put, remit, commit

"the picture was consigned to the gallery"

 

I checked dictionary.com and it gave me a different answer but was talking to 1cool about assuming that I didn't check and just blurted out whatever.

 

yau ware tying to stert a bomic consignement busyness

 

 

 

 

seriously - dictionary.com has almost the same definition as I posted......

 

 

 

I'm not that terrible with my grammar and I'll check again

can't find it so I'll just agree with you.

So, 81 year old David Prowse bought your mid grade Star Wars 1

 

 

That's pretty cool, but I bought John Voight's car

I'm serious he's been at my lcs twice but I never knew who he was and yes he bought my mid grade sw 1 which surprised me

I have a couple other comics I got for free so I'll be cosigning those as well.

 

Don't go after the low hanging fruit

 

Oh, it ain't even hanging!

 

 

 

btw.... I'm still "out" - as in I'm not giving wasting any more advice, input, suggestions or recommendations to the OP.

 

But that doesn't stop me from continuing to watch this train/plane/bus/ship/rocket-crash of a thread for pure entertainment value from the sidelines and shake my head as he continues to display ever new heights of betise.

 

 

 

I think he's come a long way. After reading the threads blowie posted I think Gabe is smart enough to have realized that most people on these boards would not want to pay him 20% to cosign their comic books.

 

Now if we can only get him to stop paying GPA high for flippers...

Working on it

I see well I have no problem with that

I believe the word you are looking for is 'consign'.

 

I guess that would be the one but that's not exactly describing what I'm doing.

 

Okay then what do you mean by cosigning your comics?

Giving him a set price, he sells it and takes a fee and I get what's left

I have a couple other comics I got for free so I'll be cosigning those as well.

 

 

Don't go after the low hanging fruit

 

Well I wouldn't call it low hanging fruit because it adds up to about 100-150 bucks.

 

 

 

 

That was a "wow" moment.

 

 

I don't understand. It was free comics am I missing something here?

 

Exactly.

I still don't get it. You guys told me to do better and I have free comics I'm selling for a profit what's better then that?

At the risk of bruising my "out" status, it would be enlightening if you provided the details of your transactions (i.e. purchase price, fees, selling price at the very least).

 

Sure I got it for free and sold it for 110 usd and yes that's all after fees as it was sold at my lcs

hey - there is a P@X one listed for less than half of yours.....

 

 

 

 

P@X is sketchy unless I got a really good deal on it I wouldn't buy

 

 

 

but it really is a good deal - less than half of what the CGC one is going for.......

 

But after everything would be said and done I would not only waste my time but money as well since I would be paying close to what that other copy if going for and that's saying that it's the exact grade they gave it.

The phrase that keeps getting repeated over and over that's killing me is "I'm working on that". This refers to any area Gabe feels he has a weakness in and is taking steps to improve.

 

The problem is: there is never any detail provided for HOW he's "working on that".

 

Good goals are ALWAYS measurable. You should be able to say "yes I accomplished this because" or "no I didn't accomplish this because". Black and white.

 

It's not enough to say "I'm working on math/business/emotions/hygiene". What are the exact steps you're taking to work on these areas?

 

I am working on it and since hygiene is something that comes up often I'll address it. I trim my nails more often and I shower more and shave more.

 

My emotions and impulses: I already said that I know look at gpa, triple check before I buy and see if I can get a better deal.

 

QUANTIFY YOUR GOALS!!!

 

Don't say "I'll trim my nails more". Say "I'll trim my nails every Monday and Thursday". That way, you can look back after a month and say "yes I definitely made my goal" or "no I didn't make my goal".

 

See the difference?

 

The phrase "I'm working on emotions" means nothing. Which specific emotions are you working on and what exactly are you doing to improve them? In a month's time, how can you tell if you've improved or not? Again, make it quantifiable.

 

Ok I'm working on my emotions of impulses and desperation.

 

I'm improving them but taking a deep breath if I get excited, count to 10 and look at it again

 

Then I check gpa to see if it's a good deal and if I see if I can buy it anywhere else for a better price

 

Finally after I check again to make sure that it's the right comic and grade I buy it.

 

Someone else is going to have to field this for me. I have no words.

 

Yes it's not how you would do things but it how I do things.

 

Please trust me when I say it's not just me. Do a google search for "S.M.A.R.T criteria" as it pertains to setting goals and tell me honestly if your "goals" meet the criteria outlined.

 

You'd be amazed at how effective it can be to structure your goals well.

I've read that before

And if that one sells (or he bumps the price up) my book is worth $500 then right cause thats the cheapest copy right? right?

 

I thought about pricing it like this.

 

Regular cover selling for $70

Variant is 1:25

which means variant cover should be 25x more than regular right?

 

 

there is another one - that I can get for $5 cheaper than yours (with shipping)....

 

 

 

 

The Darth Vader #3? That book is gonna pop.

 

Right after the big NYCC announcement!

Gabe, after 2 and a half years, every conceivable piece of advice has been given to you, and you summarily have ignored 99.9% of it. There is nothing more that anyone here on the boards can do for you. The help you need has to come from a professional counselor of some sort. It's gotten to the point where this thread is just sad, as everyone watches you self destruct. I wish you luck in getting your life in order, but I do not wish you luck in your comic flipping, because no amount of luck is going to help you with something that you are clearly terrible at and have no aptitude for. In my opinion, the best thing that could happen for you is if EVERYONE stopped posting in this thread. At least then, you might seek help from a professional who can help you. Every piece of advice from boardies that could possibly help you is already in this thread, a lot of it multiple times. If you haven't grasped it by now, you're not going to. Good luck to you, Gabe, I hope that you can get to a point where you are successful and happy, either with or without comics. On that final note, once and for all I'm out. Please add my name to the OUT list.

 

Ok thanks.

 

 

Not to mention poor spelling...

 

If you're talking about how I spell ok it's how I always spell it.

 

I was talking about "finacial" in the new title.
