FF #52 CGC 8.5 White pg Avengers #87 CGC 9.6 white pg Ending Sunday night at around 9pm - 10 pm EST. Thanks for looking.

I just lost my buzz. 42!!! Ahhhhhhhhh yes.

I believe I could write an essay on this topic, having been both an investor (mostly in stocks) and a collector (mostly in comics and sports cards/memorabilia) both for about 40 years. I'm now a hybrid collector/investor when it comes to comics. As my collection has grown over the years the value of it has forced me to treat my collection as an investment, or else sell down my comics and put the money into more traditional financial investment vehicles. So i'm basically now a long term comic collector/investor. I want to pass my collection on 40+ years down the road, and I believe that it will be worth more then than it is now. Make sure to separate 'investors' from 'speculators', they are not always the same. Speculators pop up in ALL hot markets. As the market cools down most speculators are 'washed out', hopefully leaving added investors to stay. It is a great thing that more people are coming into this hobby/passion/whatever it is for you. I hope they all can find the joy in it that I have. Let's make sure we educate newcomers and welcome them (AND MOST ALL OF YOU GUYS HERE ARE GREAT AT THAT, THANKS!). cheers, TW

Take WBN #35 and #37 per PM

+1

And I'll add Thor 307-310 and MP 51-53 Panther set to the pile. Thanks.

I'll take all the Invaders that are available.

I can see what we have here is two type As that don't like to back down. I don't like you because I find you to be rude and condescending. That's just the way I feel. How about we leave it at that, for me. I'll walk away and we can never speak again. I won't say another word about you, here or anywhere. You can have the last word here and I'll leave it at that, no response. I gave you the opportunity to say your peace, so know i'll leave you with your closing. My complaint is officially removed (pending PP refund, which I fully believe will of course clear, jus saying in case) Refund in full from @davedawgbg cleared, issue resolved for me.

Nah not just The Shadow, i know too. Like i said, full transparency. Go...

"I'll give an better exposition maybe tomorrow or Friday now that I know I can put all this in a retrospective narrative rather than one of accusatory justification or retaliatory personal insults." "accusitory justification", are you serious with that? I apologized for the rude way in which I went about this dispute, but the dispute itself of the holding of the funds was legit. "restrospective narrative" I'll look forward to that. what more is to be narrated. Every communication and action between us has been seen/read.

"I also held confidence in the community to notice many of these inconsistencies whether they commented publicly or not, and this reference belies that confidence to help swing appropriate temperament even in emotional exchanges. This is not to pass off any responsibility but I think I've been pretty clear thus far why I avoided this." Whoa brother. You can pump the brakes on that. I NEVER LIED AND THERE ARE NO INCONSISTENCIES IN ANYTHING IVE SAID. Nothing hidden, removed, or held back. I've been completely transparent through the entire transaction. You're not exactly an innocent lamb in this deal yourself. So maybe consider that I did have a legitimate gripe when with you, before you go throwing around that "self-realization" thing at me again.

A quick follow up for those following... I once again contacted @davedawgbg since my last comment here, this time attempting a less inflammatory tone, and hoping to resolve this issue in a more amicable manner. I suggested that if he returned the money then we could simply acknowledge this as a deal gone awry in which two boardies both could have handled themselves better, I'd remove the nomination, and we could go our separate ways. @davedawgbg concurred. He refunded my money the next business day. The funds are still pending, but as soon as they clear then I'll remove the nomination as agreed and claim the issue between us resolved. Thanks to all who gave their feedback here. I would encourage @davedawgbg to step in here and give his side. As a long time boardie, who it seems has not had problems with others here before, I do not want to see someone's rep tarnished over a singe issue. I would like to acknowledge, as @thehumantorch correctly, fairly and respectfully pointed out, that my initial reaction to the issue should have been less angry and reactionary. Perhaps this all could have been avoided, so apologies for my own culpability here. I took davedawg's deleted PM, and terse "Deadline past without acknowledgement, response or payment." PM, quite personally. Then I willfully used a harsh and demanding tone in an attempt to "hit back". Also, my title line in this post that asked "misunderstanding? clown? or jerk?" was a personal shot at @davedawgbg and it was juvenile and uncalled for. It was intended to anger him. And it worked. Anyhow, a lot was handled badly here on what should have a been a very smooth transaction. I should have checked my ego and my temper. My bad. thanks again to all y'all for your input here.

Great pick up! Congrats to buyer and seller!!

per PM

reported to Paypal. Thanks for everyone's input and advice. Still no mention from davedawgbg about the book or returning my money.

TeeDub Replied: 14 hours ago Ok, the "unacceptable post" in the marketplace is still up and going. And if it's to come down then I certainly won't be the one doing it. So. Feel free to "unleash" at any time. Personally, I'm really curious to know what the heck "...let you know about yourself in front of everyone." even means. davedawgbg Replied: 9 hours ago Very well. Disappointing, but certainly not surprising based on your behavior up to this point. TeeDub Replied: 4 minutes ago Yeah, let's talk "disappointing" and "behavior"... so you have my money and you may or may not have the book, but have sent me neither, and it seems you have no plan to do either. Do you plan on returning my money? Or do we have to do this the hard way?

yes. davedawgbg quoted me saying "Incredibly unprofessional." davedawgbg then replied in his PM to me with the following... "Yes you are, and you've pissed me off beyond words with your lies. I'm going to give you one, and only one opportunity to have a little self-awareness and walk back everything you've said and done, including your completely unacceptable post in the Marketplace before I absolutely unleash and let you know about yourself in front of everyone." I then replied back to davedawgbg by saying... "Now you know how angry I feel. What have I lied about? Please tell me that." To further clarify, my words are in red, davedawbg's are in blue.

Torch, you are correct, my response to "I'll have to see if I can get this back, it belongs to a client that was very unhappy with her treatment last go - round. If not your late payment will be refunded." was harsher than it needed to be. However, it was not meant to be antagonistic, and it didn't come from disappointment. I lost my temper at the implication that I had treated someone (his third party seller) poorly and at davedawgbg's needle of "your late payment", I thought both his statements were unfair and themselves antagonistic, and I fired back kinda hot. But point taken, I could have handled it better, mea culpa on that.

This is all that is in the PM chain now. Does this mean that the original PM (as seen above) was edited away and replaced with "Deadline past without acknowledgement, response or payment"??
