    ebay Terapeak Product research now has a past 3 years view

    Is there a trick to see Terapeak? Everytime I've tried for months now all I see is "It’s not you. It’s us. Our server is down, but we’ll have things back to normal soon. If you still need help, visit our help pages."

    The conversation wasn't about where the old money went. It was about where the new money went that was printed over the last 3 years and caused the inflation we're experiencing. 

    A lot of companies saw people getting free money and thought, "Great, I want some of that so I'm going to raise prices."

    And that's why I'm spending 5k more in health insurance plus rent since pre-covid.

    What he has added to canon has been more substantive than anything anyone has done since Lucas. Many believe Clone Wars saved Star Wars, which may or may not be true, but I think the story playing out is a bit more than fan service. He deserves the love he gets.  

    Ironically I'd say Timothy Zahn's Heir to the Empire saved Star Wars. He spawned the EU that lasted 20+ years until Disney killed it.

    I say all this as a bitter, old EU fanboy. I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade. I do appreciate Filoni bringing back EU stuff into cannon. I just hate that so much amazing EU stuff got erased in the first place.

    It's character development (for those who didn't watch any of the animated series) wrapped up with space battles, lasers, and explosions.  If you've learned anything from Clone Wars and Rebels, it's the importance of character development.  That, and patience.  Neither of those shows took off until later seasons.

    They've had 12(?) seasons to do character development though. These characters know each other very well. They were like family on cartoon. (Maybe not quite Asokha.) In the live action you had all these reunions and it felt like they were living in covid times. No one touched, no one hugged, nothing. All the relationships felt so... sterile.

    We also aren't getting numerous seasons of this. It's probably 2-3 and a movie.

  5. I haven't really been following labels so forgive my ignorance. Have they ever actually claimed they were never to be reprinted? Based on other products (Disney for example), being put in a vault never means it's permanently exclusive. It just means it's going away for an unknown period.

    I recently consigned some CGC comics to MCS.  Great experience so far.  One thing I'd suggest is a better notification system for when you have received an Offer on a Buy It Now with "Or Best Offer" enabled.  It took me a while to even realize I had to click on "Review Offers I've Received" to know about them.  Also, another suggestion is to have a way to contact someone when "Expired waiting for your response" happens - that tends to happen just 'cause I didn't even realize there even was an offer on the table.  I'm checking it more often now that I know that, but it'd be nice if 1) the site notified me &/or 2) if I could be like "oh, hey, I missed seeing your offer - sorry about that - here's my Accept or Counter".

    I mentioned this a while back, but my notifications from MCS for received offers went straight to spam. You may wanna check there if you're not getting them.

    Okay, I admit that there are some weird results in some of my auctions that could just be a coincidence.  Someone else's  book in the same grade sells at $250 and mine sells for $145.  I get that can happen.

    Today I am looking at my ASM #9 in 6.5 and it is currently at $750, the 5.5 is at $900 with 23 bids to my 14 image.gif.02b98b044102769dbe71d2fad1d6a7d0.gif

    Sorry for the whining.

    Here are the two auctions

    6.5 - https://www.comiclink.com/auctions/item.asp?back=%2FAUCTIONS%2FPREVIEW.ASP%3Fcode%3D2023aug%26session%3D2%23Item_1710187&id=1710187&itemType=0

    5.5 - https://www.comiclink.com/auctions/item.asp?back=%2FAUCTIONS%2FPREVIEW.ASP%3Fcode%3D2023aug%26session%3D2%23Item_1710879&id=1710879&itemType=0

    I wouldn't take much stock in current prices before an auction ends.

  8. I love collecting foreign variants! Some great ones out there. The Darth Vader #1 Panini Italy exclusive set has some amazing covers of which there are 5 exclusives. The Matteo Scalera Emperor is probably my favorite cover of all time. Pictures do not do it justice at all. The Ramon Perez Boba Fett variant is also probably my favorite Fett out there.

    Doesn’t that fit her character, though? …Especially at this point in her life. 

    Not saying you have to like it or her character, but I think it’s pretty true to the character. At least from when she took on the Fulcrum moniker 

    I get that technically fits her character, but it's not interesting at all. She comes off as the least interesting person in her story.
