Even then, I wouldn't do it. I'd love a Tec 27 but if someone offered me one for a kidney, I would say no. It paying for multiple kidneys defeats the purpose since exchanging it for multiple kidneys later still means you no longer have the book. An AF 15 in 8.0 sounds pretty low rent in comparison to a vital organ. The whole point of having 2 kidneys is prevention if one fails so that you can keep living.
An ex of mine actually could do this challenge. She was born with 3 kidneys.
Alright, what offers are on the table!

Going along with the game, it'd be an All-Star Comics #1, and 8 (not for the first appearance of Wonder Woman, but becausd I love the cover and introduction of Starman and Dr Mid-Nite to the JSA).

When you've found one you like, check out The Lockpicking Lawyer on YouTube, and see if he's done a video on it. If so, that's probably not a good thing.

FTFY. I know I've only actually been a member here for a few years, but I've lurked for a VERY long time, since the Ewert Scandal. Not saying i remember anything, but there's definitely more people pronouncing themselves something before actually bothering to actually be it.

Heres another surprise i received when fulfilling a GSP purchase. Ebay now also charges you the international fee. I dont recall seeing this before switching and i think the buyer used to pay it but now with managed payments you are charged the transaction fee for the bank to bank conversion of money. Basically the exchange rate. I sold a router for $550 and on top of every other fee i also had an international fee of $11. The managed payments fees page does say that the seller will be charged an international fee if the buyers shipping address is not in the same country as the sellers. It mentions nothing about the fact that despite the GSP address being in the US you will still be charged.
When i complained and asked why they said that this is what the banks charge for conversion of pounds to dollars and is now charged to sellers because they used to get lots of cancelations when it was charged to the buyer. The rep advised cancelling the sale and increasing the price by the exchange rate. Yet another reason to not sell on ebay. He said he is also a seller and has raised all his prices by at least 15%.
What? That's ludicrous. As an international buyer I KNOW to take that into account before purchasing. It's literally second nature.
Can someone please stop this world and let me off.

Redundant for some, but I'd like redos of the classic Original 5 X-Men. The last attempt was just terrible. Other than that, and what you said, the pickings are starting to look rather slim.
Edit: another part of the wave revealed, and it's a massive letdown: Omega Red. Just looks to have different paint apps to the original, but I just glanced at it. Do we really need 2 so close together?
-
Yours presents the best, it's just a shame about the page colour. I'd really need to see inside the books to make a final determination.
-
Some more Marvel Legends revealed today, all X-characters. So far we've had Callisto, Mastermind (Jason), and a shirtless brown costume battle-damaged Wolverine, but he's really got very little battle damage, unfortunately. Still a nice figure. No news on the rest of the wave or the BAF.

I nominate Bob Beerbong: a shining pillar of the community, with a stellar reputation, a man of few words. A humble man, who doesn't like talking about himself or his achievements, of which there are many. Did you know he went to the very first Comic Co... _zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...............

I didn't even know they had an Adult category for years. I don't know how much of the stuff I read would be in there, but I imagine the actual Image book 'Sex' would get caught up, as the insides are pretty graphic. Or are they relying on covers only? Or because it's eBay is it some nebulous mixture of both that we'll never truly be able to identify?
Yeah, probably the latter.

After some delays from BBTS i should have my first Mezco 1:12 Collective figure here this week. Appropriately enough it's Dr Fate. To say I'm excited is an understatement. A lot of Mezcos' looks just haven't worked with me, but Fate looked great. I've also preordered Bishop.

I’ve been a JSA fan since I was a kid in the 70s, starting with the All-Star revival. The Golden Age characters fascinated me, especially The Spectre and Dr Fate. Highlights for me later on were Strazewski and Parobeck’s short series in the 90s, and Geoff Johns’ series in the 00s.
Also my 2 favourite runs, although Johns is far and away my favourite. I'm currently rereading it, via the omniboo they released of it all. They're also a good workout.
As far as Doomsday Clock, I don't even know if that counts anymore, because that was an expanded team in older costumes to what we saw in the Stargirl Special. I just wish they'd get around to actually publishing a JSA book so we could get things started, it's so long overdue it's getting ridiculous.
-
A Legion/JSA crossover would be a lot of fun, wouldn't it? I guess we sort of did get that, plus the JLA, back in the second arc of Brad Meltzer's JLA, but a proper one would be a hoot.
-
I don't know if this is the right place for it, or if it'll just tank, but only one way to find out. Anyway [SPOILERS AHEAD] at the last page of the Stargirl Special with the 7 Soldiers Of Victory (just noting my copy won't arrive for another week and a half, so all I have to judge it in is the page I'll be showing you guys)
SPOILERS FROM HERE If you don't want to see this page, please skip my post.
Edit
Here is the image in question, apparently the final page of the issue.
As you can see, we've got quite a lot to talk about. Anyone interested in participating in discussions on this, the JSA's future, and it's glorious past in its many incarnations?
Mods: is what I'm doing okay? It's a general thread about the franchise over the decade, it's not really maybe about speculating and stuff, so Moderns seemed wrong. CG seemed like the best fit.

This name sounds familiar. I have a feeling I may have dealt with him in the past. Great experience, if I'm correct. But either way I'm saddened at another loss of life, and another man down in our community. My thoughts are with his family and friends at this difficult time and that they come together and help themselves heal as a group, as is best for each of them.

Why would you ignore Jean Grey appearing in Days of Future Past if in the end she actually appears to Logan?
Just because it was a cameo, not a full appearance. Doesn't really matter either way, though. And FWIW, DOFP is my favourite X-Men film to watch, although I think X2 might be the superior film technically.

Fox proved they could make quality X-Men movies, they just couldn’t do it with any consistency. The Dark Phoenix rehash was never going to work regardless of which studio made the film.
The DPS is one of my favourite stories, but I just don't think it's filmable. I desperately hope I'm proved wrong, though, when the MCU inevitably does its own version of it.
I also found it funny running the numbers after watching it. So we've got 7 main X-Men films. Jean stars in 5 (I'm ignoring her cameo in DOFP). She dies in 3 of her 5 primary appearances. Yikes.

Quoting myself so the full chain is here for those who don't want to have to search back.
With this new batch: first there was shock, then fury. When you see the latest email by Berkbridge, I think you'll understand why.
When we left off, it had been over a week with no communication, after being told I was being cut off. Days after posting the transcripts however, I received a surprise, a new email from Berkbridge. Here's the short exchange to date. As before, emails from me are in Italics. Emails from The Berkbridge Foundation are in Bold. No editing has been done, other than to remove my surname, which I've replaced with *Mecha Fantastic*. Once more, at no stage have they identified themselves.
-------
October 2, 2019, 11:55 AMMr *Mecha Fantastic*,You are welcome to send us either an electronic message or a written request along with a cashier's check or money order in the amount of $6.00 payable to: Berkbridge Foundation and mailed to:Please specify which documents you would like to inspect, provide a name and address for mailing and allow up to 30 days for receipt of requested documents. Alternatively, you can contact the IRS for assistance in accessing the documents through the IRS web site. We may also have certain documents posted online once our web site is launched in the near future.Thank you--------October 3, 2019, 9:42 PM
Okay, I'm going to attempt to itemise this so we are clear and there is no confusion: By raising the price to $6.00US, I am assuming that this increase would be to cover the postage to Australia, my original preferred destination. Is this indeed the case? If not, why the increase in price?
And can we please drop the pretence that the documents are available on the IRS website. We both know that is not the case, and this continued insistence is counter-productive. I do appreciate that documentation may be made available easily in the future, that will certainly make it easier for everyone involved, and I look forward to that day.
Yours Sincerely.

Please send your US address details and we'll mail the documents at our cost. Please just send us a copy of your ID or the ID of the recipient.

Right, well, first of all, can you please explain why the cost had risen since last quoted less than two weeks ago?
Secondly, and this is a huge issue, asking for copies of identification is a major violation in so many ways, I'm literally flabbergasted that you even had the gall to write that. No such thing shall be provided, as you well knew would be the response. I take this and the entire chain of emails as proof of hostility and pure refusal to cooperate in providing legally required documentation as first requested on September 10th, 2019, and continually delayed since then by stalling tactics on your behalf.
We're done here.
---------
I don't even know where to begin on a summary, but here goes: documents were first requested September 10th, stalling and delaying has taken place since then, from their side. Any and every question I have about their legitimacy has been answered in full by their sheer evasiveness and unwillingness to cooperate in legally required means of documentation. I see no legit reason for a legitimate charity to act this way. It's that simple.
My view is that I'm flabbergasted at the sheer gall of The Berkbridge Foundation, and their apparent belief they are above the law of the land and that they may twist the good works of charities for the probable personal gain of its founder, Robert S Jalali. The arrogance is something else, and I commend @Sweet Lou 14 and everyone else involved in bringing The Berkbridge Foundation to light.
The next step is bringing them to the attention of the proper authorities. This is far from over.
They really are showing their true colours. This email has been edited, as it contains words not appropriate for this forum, so I've had to censor them. You'll see what I mean. That's the only editing that has been done. It's a real piece of work. It's from Berkbridge Foundation, is the first one to be signed, finally, and as per format, is in Bold.

First of all, you smug piece of s**t, we don't owe you anything so be thankful that we've entertained your annoying messages so far. Perhaps, you should spent a little time reviewing your country's laws on Internet Trolling instead of bothering honest Americans trying to do some good in the World.
Second of all, we're not obligated to provide any information to you or your Forum cronies since we've been the subject of a harassment campaign (page 81 https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i990.pdf ). Since you're too stupid or incompetent to access our documents through the IRS web site, you may want to contact an attorney to decipher the rules in the aforementioned publication for you.
Now kindly f**k off!
Michael Dawson
ps: Please cut and paste this message in your thread, it will only strengthen our legal case against you

Very over-rated, and not someone I picture as Sue Storm/Richards at all. Like you said, she's a bad fit. Hopefully she's not enough of a name anymore to have any pull over casting.
