  2. Alright, I just want to say one thing and that’s it. I understand that this whole situation has caused quite a stir among some individuals on here and for that I am sorry. First, I have heard all the opinions and understand that the main thing I did wrong was take a potential business deal away from the shop. I will 100% chalk up to that, I wasn’t thinking in the moment and the responsibility is on me to do better next time. How can anyone learn from a mistake if they aren’t made in the first place? I can tell you I will take it as a learning experience and be sure to consider the external factors from now on. Second, the thing that bothers me the most about the judgement of this whole ordeal is that the people crying foul think I am in this for the money. That I am going to turn around and cash in while the chips are hot. Never once was there a hint of consideration that I would be potentially be keeping these books for my personal collection. To answer that question, yes I do intend to keep both of the books for my own use. I have always been a huge Spider-Man fan and it has been very difficult to get a lot of books I used to have a few years ago. I have always been a collector first and seller second. And in reality I only sell my books to afford new ones. I know a lot of people here seem to be oozing money at the seams, but others don’t have the funds to keep up with this ever changing market. With a baby on the way due in January I know that it’s only a matter of time before I take a hiatus from this hobby for financial reasons. Third, I know a lot of jokes were made about the denomination that I chose to offer based on the range the gentleman was looking for. I get it, silly to hold onto 3 dollars. Why not just offer him the $78.00 I had in my pocket? I honestly have no idea, maybe I have some OCD tendencies for things to be in multiples of 5, either way it’s the number that I chose. Lastly, I have been a member on these boards for about 5-6 years. In that time I have learned a tremendous amount, made some great boardie friends/connections and been able to sell many books to happy customers. And I would like to continue that relationship moving forward as I believe that up until now I have always had a good standing with you (My Kudos Thread should prove that) But honestly if this is how a topic like this is handled, with ridicule and disdain, then I’ll definitely have to rethink posting in the future. I hope that isn’t the case. I do appreciate being showed one of my errors in judgement, will learn from it and hope to move on from this. Thanks, Adam
  3. I see both sides of it and in the interest of humility I guess my initial post lacked it. I was just very excited to score something in a situation that quite frankly never happens to me. In no way was I trying to brag or show off. Again apologies if anyone thought I was here to do that.
  4. Totally not the intention. But I see where this is going with peoples opinions so I don't want to be that one. Apologies
