  1. This really is the only website I remember this happening on. Maybe Arch is getting old.
  2. Funny, I loved it. I think this is what DC needs to gain some ground on Marvel. They have most of their chips riding on this, which is why they put a big name like Affleck on it. If this flops DC may as well just give up the idea of making Superhero movies.
  3. Is that the 6.5 I bought in Megacon a few years ago?
  4. I realize that. Still...get some glasses, Roy. Personally, I think most of the women guys here find attractive aren't. Maybe some taste is in order for some of you guys?
  5. You'd be wrong about that. I don't think many agree with you. This is not a popularity context and I still think you don't get it. This comment proves it: You F'd up. You need to want it fix this. It's all on you. If he lets you off the hook, you're just lucky. It does not mean you've been justified.
  6. It's not a witch hunt. You just keep deflecting from the fact that you did something wrong and trying to blame the other guy (at least partially) for being part of the problem. It's really simple, you messed up. Nobody else did.
  7. Remember to be stoked about passing it to me when you're done with it. I love that book. Congrats on finally getting a copy.
  8. Not really. Wayne has the absolute best looking women around him all the time, and Affleck has Jennifer Lopez and Jennifer Garner. Blehhhhhhhh... Taste in women is subjective. I think both of those women are gorgeous.
  9. That's an easy one for me. He's certainly a mogul and he seems to live the lifestyle. Ben Affleck is Bruce Wayne in real life.
  10. It doesn't matter where you do the deal, your word needs to be kept. Even if others are tool bags. Many of us do dozens or even 100's of deals a year on here and elsewhere and we see our share of douchbaggery. Non-paying bidders, time wasters, tire kickers and people who delay payment beyond the agreed upon time. You still need to take the high road and do the right thing. And again, if there is a problem as many have stated communication is key. Whether something is changing and you're the buyer or the seller, simply communicating can resolve a multitude of potential problems.
  11. I think the better way to have dealt with it then was to give the buyer a head's up that you needed to sell and give him the option of buying before the determined time if you needed the money sooner. This way it just looks like you sold the book out from under him.
  12. Was that the 6.5 copy that had a long diagonal crease along the bottom edge? Razor thin?

  14. Yeah, I'm not entirely sold on it. It has some moments but it doesn't draw me in like some of the other MCU trailers did. Their goal is to have movies in every possible genre, fully decoupling from the "superhero" thing. Avengers is their suprehero movie, Captain America 2 was Spy Thriller, Guardians a "space opera" (star wars), Daredevil is a crime thriller, Peggy Carter was a period piece, etc etc, Ant-man is going to be a Heist movie. I think they recognize that not all movies will be as loved by all people, but they want as many nets in the water as possible, funneling everyone they can into the MCU, and once they are hooked, hopefully watching everything because of the interconnections. Also, Ant-man was greenlit when the main avengers (and downey) contracts were still up in the air. In addition to having a big shared universe, I think they want to get a large stable of avengers, so pieces can be swapped in an out as needed. Getting the Pym history, and Ant-man and Wasp created, while adding more characters to Civil War, means Ant-man can still be relevant to the bigger picture while being a smaller scale Heist movie set in its own corner. I wouldnt be surprised if we end up seeing a young actor cast as Hank Pym in future seasons of Peggy Carter, having him work with Starks Dad, found shield, etc. That's how I understand it as well. I think they are combining Ant-Man into several practical applications, including as a way to tie in movie universe into Civil War / Stark Industries, etc. In the end I get that there's a master plan now behind everything Marvel, I just don't really find Ant Man that appealing...but I've been wrong before. I might be a good watch. I'll definitely be seeing it.

  16. Got this for sale in the selling forum. In case anyone is interested, drop me a PM. Rangers Comics #26 CGC 7.5 OW - $975 (Classic GGA cover and in my opinion one of the greatest GGA covers of all time!)
  17. There were odds running on whether or not you'd join the fray. You never fail to disappoint! Anyhow, I'm not one rake someone over the coals excessively so what do you guys suggest regarding the transaction? He's already apologized but I don't know how sincere of an apology it is. Has anyone else had trouble with this buyer before?
  18. I've notified him of the discussion so far.
  19. I just wanted to state that sgcomiccollector left me hanging for over a month with no payment on two GSX #1 books after we came to an agreement on price. If you guys want the details I can share them but over the period of over 1 month he cited waiting on funds, unable to communicate due to travel, payment by the 19th of March, family issues and then finally asking if the books were still available. I replied that they were and asked when he was going to pay for them. After no reply and more than a month of waiting I decided to give up and get them graded. Thankfully one of them actually came back in a better grade than I advertised (the other came back in the exact grade advertised). Still, I can't stand it when people just don't reply. If he'd just said 'hey, I can't afford them - sorry' it would have been no big deal.
  20. Marvel #5, 7 and 13 - the Human Torch triumvirate of early Schomburg covers!
  21. About right for me. Maybe 1 in 20 is reasonably quick and then I get a slow one (just had a 6-7 second server delay).
