  1. Dunno why I thought he was Korean. Does he play Korean in Kim's store? Anyway, without the mustache I saw him photoed with he is much better looking. Maybe it will work.
  2. I tend to save my lowballs for books that are not super hot that minute. Maybe a book that cooled a little, etc
  3. but that wasn't what I was responding to, which was your implication that people want it because it's the fashionable thing. Maybe they are afraid it will go higher? I unloaded my nm copy when it was worth $400-500 and traded it for a FF 5 and a stack of SA. Hindsight...
  4. It wasn't key then. It is key now. Very very very key. Just because you got a copy at 1% of FMV does not change that incontrovertible fact. It is the key to the whole MCU.
  5. Can't blame them for trying, but it just seems they ought to make a $ offer first. We're mostly sellers and buyers here. We want a deal. I'm not offended when someone tries to get one. Just don't get nasty if I say no. Now and then a wackadoodle on eBay tries to bully his way in. I had a guy doing that when I sold comics on my wife's account. He thought he coukd be a tough guy and bully a woman. A hole. With that said my wife is half Sicilian. Not gonna happen. I pity the fool...
  6. Thor 339 is one of the most important books of the copper age. It is a key of keys. $40 was a bargain. 338 is also a key, just not as key. 337, I can take it or leave it.
  7. Wolverine is a lot of people's top 5 favorite character regardless of what has been done with him recently.
  8. Is this true? Can't you just try to craigs list the junk to tve next sucker who thinks he can squeeze it? I got 35 cents a book at my yard sale when a wannabee flipper came in and bought my longie of stuff that had been picked over the last 5 yard sales. Admittedly, this is not something that would excite me as I am almost at comic saturation, but that's personal.
  9. They are already slabbed! We are busy dashing the OP's dreams on what he can get for said slabs.
  10. I am a low baller, but that is a question I would never ask. I just say "will you take?" Yes or no. Some people still act insulted, some people counter. Maybe I bump, maybe I don't.
  11. Ok, I am cheating a little as this is from two different shops earlier this year and I am only picturing about 1/4 of what I bought. For example, I have the maxx 25, but not 12-24. Chasing late 90s/2000 lower print run books, I like the annuals, anything ash wood... Nothing spectacular.
  12. Better than me selling 3 for $35, incl shipping. But not a newsie
  13. If they are marketing to Canada, Korea, and Singapore they have a problem. And Chinese audiences may be pissed that he is played by a Korean. With that said, maybe he has the martial arts to back it up? I think my issue is he is relatively unknown and kind of ordinary looking. I wonder if manny Jacinto could have pulled it off? He's a hottie.
  14. I get it, but when I moved in we had to replace 25 Windows. Single pane, originals, half did not open. A good brand, custom fitted, was over $750 each and the ones we got were under $300 (claimed to be EE, probably not so much) I didn't have $20k+++ for Windows. Problem is, even if the Windows cost me $100 a month during the winter it will take a long time for recoup the $15-20k. I have done the wrap, but most of these are windows we may open during the winter.i I need to re-caulk.
  15. It is drek. If you have one I will take it off your hands to properly dispose of it.
  16. I say that in reference to staples that are not crusty rusty, but look off
  17. Well, my gas bill is $100+ in the summer just from hot water, cooking, and running the dryer, so $200 isn't doable in the cold. I live in a big old house with lousy or no insulation and an antiquated heating system. I do not have the $25-30K or so it would cost to insulate and get a better furnace. Not to mention, even though I replaced the windows 12 years ago, I did not get the best replacement windows. I also have a wife who insists that the heat be on. I am fine bundling up. Plus, I have 100 pounds of blubber to keep me warm. Anyway, while NYC is pretty hit or miss in terms of snowfall (I think we got very little last winter, a decent amount a year or two before), January and February are consistently cold enough (not -20 or anything, sure) that I have to keep the heat on. Unfortunately.
  18. Ahh, winter and $400 heating bills instead of $400 electric bills. Enjoying late September and October, maybe early November, when I can avoid both.
  19. For my job. I am a lawyer. Or I pretend to be one. Not me getting sued!
  20. I have a trial the week before Christmas and maybe one around Thanksgiving and just a brutal schedule. And I need to get the comic selling back on track. And I need to get back to the gym 3 or 4 times A week. I am running out of hours already and I have 3.7 months to go.
