What was your purchase price for the two?

 

With shipping included it cost me 12 dollars

 

Betty and me 16 $4.50

NYX 4 $4

Shipping $3.50

 

Did you do ANY due diligence on shipping? How do you expect them to ship 2 comics for $3.50 INTERNATIONALLY

I've had someone ship something internationally for 6.50 but that's not the point all these comics are being sent to my friend, I make a pile and ask him to send it to me and I pay for it.

It seems like you like the attention your drama gives you. So many people have given you advice, both on the boards and off the board, but you continue to do the same thing over and over again. It seems every few months you do something dumber than the last dumb event in your life. I can't wait to hear about your next bonehead "mistake".

 

I could care less about the attention I just look for advice and I already said that I make the same mistakes over again and other then what happened yesterday and the ASM 129 there's not that many mistakes I made this year.

What happened yesterday?

 

Remember that one time when someone who might be considered by some former first lady's a 'deplorable' tried to defend his political position by espousing his knowledge of Canadian parliament and instead cited information about the Indian parliament? Then defended that gaffe by saying he didn't know other counties besides Canada had parliaments?

 

 

 

Oh, I thought he meant comic mistakes, I didn't think he meant being a doofus mistakes.

 

I was talking about comic mistakes but yesterday was a mistake with politics

 

Exactly what I said.

Ok then yes you're right.

There was some real gold in them there posts...

 

Agreed, but at what point does it just become sad?

 

 

Do we really need proof that water is wet?

 

I know. I hear what you are saying. I was thinking about it last night and felt a little bad for being hard on him as it seemed there was yet even more "evidence" from all the replies to questions, etc. that there may be deeper issues and challenges at play beyond a learning disability and lethargy.

 

Gabe, I really hope you have a qualified counselor or two that you are seeing on a regular basis and are getting expert help beyond the comic selling advice here.

 

It's ok you can tell me what you see the biggest problems are and I can bring it up with my therapist.

 

The biggest problem I see is that you do what you want to do regardless of the free, expert advice given by people who've been successful for longer than you've been alive.

 

 

That's my biggest problem that you see? Well I'm not going to quit comics that much I know and I can make it work too and also I'm gonna do some calculations later I think you may like it

 

And folks, there we have it. No one is going to tell him nothing no way, no how!

 

Perhaps the time for free advice and "bailing him out" should stop and let him post what he is going to post and let him actually figure things out (or not) on his own.

 

I know you may not see it but I am improving on these things slowly

 

These last two comics are a example of something done right

 

Have you ever heard the saying " don't count your chickens before they're hatched"?

 

Exactly. Just because you didn't get ripped off this time doesn't mean things are turning around for you and that you're improving. The chances of someone ripping you off on such low dollar books is probably low, but with a few more purchases like this, I bet you'll be back to thinking you can flip books like the a pro.

The comics have already been shipped and I do see that as a improvement because they are two comics I can make money on to make up for the losses with the ASM 129. Not only that I'm double checking before I buy something and reading if they have anything I might miss.

Really? How so? First, you don't even have the comics in hand. For all you know, this seller is going to scam you too. Second, you told everyone on these boards, and who knows who else, exactly where you found those comics. What is to prevent someone from contacting the seller, telling them that they undersold the books, and offer them more? You need to stop bragging about your comic "scores", such as they are, until you at least have them in your possession.

Simple he already shipped them but it's true I don't have them on hand yet.

I have heard that saying but honestly there's not much that can go wrong because I paid 12 bucks and should something happen it's insured for 50 bucks

A discussion about politics which got deleted

The Betty and Me 16 ain't too shabby either.

 

Agreed and at the price I bought it for there;s no way I can lose money on it

 

I'm confident that if there's a way to lose money on these, you'll find it.

 

Not with these comics I'm 100% sure of that but on others comics I agree.

 

Have you bought from the person on Comics PriceGuide before? Can you verify that he's an accurate grader?

 

I've purchased about 20 comics there and no there are a lot of people that overgrade so I always as for pics and if the comics have restoration or major defects and I grade it myself.

 

I asked if you bought from that specific person or persons before, not if you've bought from people off their boards.

 

No I haven't but he showed me multiple pics of the comic and we both agreed on the grades.

 

OK, so there is a way you can lose money on these.

 

Why does every boardie think my grading is that bad?

 

I don't know if your grading is bad. I just know from experience that looking at scans, no matter how good they are is not the same as looking at a book in hand. So, when you're buying books online from someone you haven't bought from before, there is a chance it will not turn out as well as you hoped it would.

 

That's all I'm saying, nothing against your ability to grade.

I can see that happening that's why I always ask if there are any defects that are hidden and if they can take clearer pics

It seems like you like the attention your drama gives you. So many people have given you advice, both on the boards and off the board, but you continue to do the same thing over and over again. It seems every few months you do something dumber than the last dumb event in your life. I can't wait to hear about your next bonehead "mistake".

 

Given that he just said that he's looking at 100 potential comics to buy, I'm sure we won't have long to wait.

I don't mean at I'll buy them at once I'm saying these comics are similar profit wise to the two I just bought.

I'm not sure that random untrained Internet strangers diagnosing you is in anyone's best interests

They may not be trained but they noticed a lot of things that I wasn't aware of myself also I said I would take what they say to my therapist

Gabe for CGC member of the year. No one else has brought so many people together who are in agreement.

 

Haha, one of the few good things that comes from this thread

 

Hi Gabe, I'm Sarcasm. Have we met?

Yes we have

The Betty and Me 16 ain't too shabby either.

 

Agreed and at the price I bought it for there;s no way I can lose money on it

 

I'm confident that if there's a way to lose money on these, you'll find it.

 

 

Agreed, but isn't it better to lose $10-$15 as opposed to $200+?

 

That's a valuable lesson he's learning.

 

 

Losing 12 bucks is much better then losing 200 for sure and I've have my eyes on about 100 more comics that I can make a profit with.

Do we really need proof that water is wet?

 

Gabe apparently does. He keeps jumping in with both feet expecting to stay dry the next time he buys a $800 book to flip.

 

I've made bad choices that's true but with James's advice I'm working on it because my emotions got the better of me as they usually do so it's time to change that.

 

You mentioned earlier that you had a counselor or therapist working with you on your various problems. I'm just curious what they're doing to help you with your mental issues and why you would follow the advice of board members over two people that have worked with you for months now.

My therapist and counselor are people I still work with but I followed the advice of the two boardies because they're are two people that have stuck around with my despite the fact that I'm difficult to deal with and it's something that will really help me in all areas of my life if I learn to control my emotions and impulses. The counselor keeps telling me money isn't everything and my therapist tells me to write stuff down.

A vg NYX #4 is an awesome start

 

Don't forget the Betty and me 16 4.5/5.0 for $4.50

 

Where did you buy these books and do you have them in hand?

Comicspriceguide and I don't have them on hand as he's shipping them out on Oct 4th.

The Betty and Me 16 ain't too shabby either.
