  1. Who are they signed by (I don’t follow new books or this Instagram you speak of)? Maybe dude was at a con where on-site was available. Regardless, it’s pretty apparent the customer comes...second? Nah, more like eighth.
  2. Cash only, and seller is trying to pass off a 50% discount. Seems like a great way to get robbed at the purchase meeting.
  3. I really wanted to buy the 9.2 IH 181 from his collection when it went up on ComicLink last November, but it went for over 5 stacks. A premium at the time but possibly under market rate as of today. No regrets though, bought a 9.0/white instead.
  4. True story. It took me a bit to process what I thought of Last Jedi, but I finally boiled it down to — “Is the guy...? Is the bear...?” Shout out to Super Troopers for providing the clarity.
  5. Well put. Multiple locales, star characters galore, and yet...flowed seamlessly. To this day, the only thing I remember about BvS is Wonder Woman. But the whole of Infinity War is definitely imprinted on my brain.
  6. Lindsay Lohan. You can see the resemblance in their surly dispositions.
  7. You should report this to the Postal Inspectors office that covers your area. Someone committed mail fraud if your PO tried to pass off a bogus signature as your own.
  8. You know...from one of the other threads, it was mentioned that a newly hired employee last worked at a Pizza Hut... Pizzas Guaranteed eXcellent ? Expanded and rebranded!!!
  9. Good to hear, I’ve been practicing my “Steve Ditko”s for them to verify as “authentic”.
  10. Aaron Sasson says “last occupation was at a Pizza Hut” like that’s something new for PGX employees.
  11. Please God, save us from anymore posts on this particular issue. We get it, some people agree with @ygogolak, some don’t. Let’s move on.
  12. I would think him owning up to the situation and apologizing (for ALL of his sketchy actions, not just “oh sorry I backed out of the deal”) would be the only way to go. It would be pretty much impossible for him to convince us that he didn’t realize epically stiffing a seller would be frowned upon.
  13. I I would bet his rent story was a sham too. Going from “oh I need that whole $675 back to make the rent” to “well I’ll keep the books for $100 off” in relatively short order is rather suspect. He wanted to flip them and hedge in some profit up front.
  14. Jaymole's friend probably got his allowance cut off after this escapade. I'm picturing Howard and Bernadette from The Big Bang Theory.
  15. Or some poor schlub will be waiting 19 months for his SS books while Paradise uses his money to get their ASM 800s graded.
  16. On this May the 4th, 2018, I feel I should reflect on my (severely) divergent thought patterns about the last two movies and ponder Episode 9... Episode VII - "Oh my, they cast actual actors again! And well scripted? Damn son, this is fun to watch! Another desert? Another planet blower upper? Err...yeah, a bit derivative...screw it...I love this movie! (TFA subsequently hits cable) F you! I adore this movie!" (Fun fact - in my travels through cable television, there have been four "drop everything and watch" movies for me at various times -- Punisher: War Zone, Rambo 4, The Dark Knight Rises, and now The Force Awakens) Episode VIII - Poe doing work...good start...hey wait...did I just see Leia fly? In space? After a hefty explosion? Leia can survive close proximity explosions, as well as space? And fly? Since when??? If Luke is supposed to be wallowing in failure, then why did he turn into Tarek el-Moussa? Snoke stole that coat from Wayne Newton, didn't he? No? Liberace? Not important...but who is his interior decorator? What kind of lame throne room is that? Jeez, at least hang a picture of you and your boys at the BWW on the wall. Or break into your rendition of "Viva Las Vegas". Well at least he got cut in half. Teach him not to give the people what they want. So...well its over. Was that worse than any of I-III? Hmmm...no. Those all suck hard, in part because they managed to make good actors terrible. But what am I supposed to look forward to now? Ring kid sweeping the stables some more? Rose's physical therapy? Leia going to the credit union to get a loan for some new X-Wing squadrons? Eek. Episode 9 - Make me forget Episode VIII.
  17. Indeed. I had considered doing a retract just before expiration, but the offer I made is still palatable enough even without the extra Franklin discount.
  18. This morning - "House hunting is back in gear, no more comics in the near term." This afternoon - "15% off! OK, I suppose I can put in a best offer on this mid-grade 181..." (results pending)
  19. Registered Mail w/restricted delivery on a $10,000 value only costs $35.60 according to usps.com. A $250 shipping charge is complete price gouging on the seller's part. For that reason alone I wouldn't buy this book.
