    While the idea does amuse my time is more valuable and I wouldn't waste any more time on this seller.

    Well, I can certainly respect that too. And I have done that with at least 1 flea market seller whose shtick was everything had a price on it, but if I asked about it he had to look it up in Overstreet. Then it was I have to take it home and reprice it. The guy made me feel like I was trying to rip him off by trying to pay his already-accurate prices. So I told him off and walked away.

  2. Create some work for him -- go back, pull 10 or so drek books at random.

    Get the same answer, tell him ok, thanks, please have him call me when they are priced. Change your mind on the phone.

    If they offer to sell to you at $1 each on the spot, change your mind on the spot.

    Sounds like lots of you guys near there; everyone lather, rinse, repeat.

    jusr a thought. :devil:

  3. Yeah, but the fact remains someone pulled the trigger...I'm as shocked as you guys in one sense (no boardie would do that) but I'm more eager to find that,er, niche market....it's pretty established that wealth and intellect do not necessarily correspond. Understanding that is clearly profitable, apparently. :insane:

  4. (worship) to ALL of you! 

     

    Nothing AT ALL like any of you heavyweights in terms of books I can't hold onto (never parted with any GA of significance, nor any SA keys where I don't have more than 1), but the only key of any sort I cannot hold onto is a Bronze perennial. I have traded away ASM 129 three times with no additional keeper copy. Once in the 1980s for an Iron Man #1, once about 10-12 years ago for an FF#48, and once last year as one of 18 books I traded for an Avengers #1 to complete my run, plus another Avengers #4. Just an aside in this thread for sure; guess I cannot shake my view of the Punisher as a two-dimensional supporting character, fwiw.

    I guess the relevant point is my mindset apparently says bronze is expendable; gold is not.hm

    Thanks for sharing some awesome books!
