but why would the offer not come up thru the "messages" section of my eBay page?

Got out bid on item. My max bid was 150$. Bidding went to 152$ so I lost. Got an email on my personal email saying I have "second chance offer" to buy item at $150 cause "high bidder backed out." Over my budget so I don't respond, delete email and move on with my life. Get to thinking about this. I never got the "second chance offer" message on "my messages" on eBay only on my personal email, so this was a scam, right? Question: Was this a scam perpetrated by the seller? I think the email to my personal email came from SecondChanceOffer@ebay.com

is this really real?

as a hollywood union member for over 25 years, this. also "it is an industry that favors the lucky elites" BTW, it you are not active (up-to-date on dues) you are ineligible to vote

will never be able to, hence why iatse has never had a strike: this wga/sag strike has been so devastating to rank-and-file workers that if we can ever catch up financially (many never will be able to recover) when it will be time for the wag/dga/sag to strike again, and the entire process starts anew

I used to but they beat the joy and fun out of it to make more money for the 8 producers, 6 associate producers, 7 assistant producers and 4 co-producers and 12 co-co producers that are at the top of everyone of your and mine call sheets. Don't even get me started on production managers cutting my budgets to nothing (and still expecting THE WORLD) so they can get a kick-back post production for bringing it in "under-budget." After 35 years I'm done. Couple more years and I can retire from the race-to-bottom Sh*t-show that film making has become. Believe me, when I started in 1987 it was way different for the better than it is now. Ever been on a show where someone has fallen asleep on the way home after working weeks of stupid hours and rolled their car? I have. Maybe when I retire I can actually get back to enjoying movies again, but I doubt it. I'd honestly just read a book. I sincerely hope your experience will be better. This new SAG contract will make it that much more crappy for working people like you and me. So tell me, why has our union, IATSE, in it's 126 year history, has never gone on strike yet the actors and writers and directors do?

for 35 years. As far as the 80% vs the 20%: 1. I figured that was common sense and didn't need to be brought to your attention 2. Just goes to show you how SAG treats their own

Yes, so the actors can sit in their air conditioned trailers (after making sure to lecture crew how "we're all equal and in this together", waiting for their Starbucks, not wearing masks on set (even tho SAG is the one demanding crew wear masks), crying about global warming as their limousines idle with air conditioning on, and on and on and on....

In all seriousness, what's a "Meta-Review site?"

Bay is a piece of work. Know a guy who worked on his student film while Bay was at Pasadena Art Center. Rich kid. Could hire the best on his "student" film, with the exception of my friend who tied into his mom's house's breaker box and blew a fuse and caught the house on fire. He's consistently abusive and unkind to the people below him. What else do you need to know about a person? F.. this guy. Besides, his logic here is flawed like the Bossy Bottom running a train behind a dumpster at a truck stop outside of Barstow that he is: A Mocking Bird imitates and thereby creates its own art. Duh! And on and on...

stay away from St. Mark's Comics. If it moved from the LES, stay away from where ever it moved to.

The one from 1977ish. Be honest.

I wish I lived the life of The Leader.

Yes, get insurance. A suggestion: the question you want to ask is - Who has insurance and has had to use it? People thinking this insurance company is great or that insurance company is great is meaningless. Every insurance company is great at collecting premiums. How are they when something is stolen, destroyed, whatever? How do they respond then? Base your decision on which company to purchase a policy with on those answers and those answers alone.

Safe Deposit Box is the correct term. its where I keep my af15. I haven’t see. It for a couple of years. I hope it’s still there.

I knew her way back in 1989 on her first film. On that film I gave her Batman: The Cult miniseries comics. This sparked an interest in comics for her that moved to Star Wars stuff. She had several severe set backs in her life that she overcame and went on to a storied career. RIP, Shawna. Safe travels.

Every once in a while things work out in my favor

February 2017 HA auction

I love the date stamp but the crease top center gives me the heebie-jeebies. I feel like it's marvel chipping just waiting to fall off (but MC is only on the right side, right?) Whatever, I feel like it's gonna break off... This is what I know about it: Some guy named Crazy Charlie bought it off the newsstand back in the day. Crazy Charlie had a used bookstore in the Pacific Northwest forever. A man named Judd Lawson had it for a while, so I'm told. The great dancer Magik Woo owned it. He got pissed at CGC. Had the other guys slab it. They graded it at 8.5. Sold for 77k about in 2016. new mystery owner ressubed at CGC - stayed an 8.5, no doubt it's been pressed. I bought it in 2017. Stan Lee sig (signed in 1984) on page 16. The mystery owner from 2016 purchase to 2017 seller did very, very well. It's probably a little overgraded at 8.5, probably an 8.2 or so.
