Which also shows that 25% of that 9 billion comes from overseas (meaning unaffected by this ruling) so it keeps decreasing the impact on Amazon.

With most of that 25% from Chinese companies, who wouldn't give a rat's anyway

It seems to me like the ruling is at least somewhat intended to force congress into addressing the issue, otherwise chaos will reign throughout the land and small/medium businesses will be crushed under the weight of compliance.

It's weird to me that you think this would be a consideration.

And this one was no pencils.  I like the gestural style, but it would only work for darker comics like Punisher or Batman

Doing more ink drawing, trying to skip the pencils.  This one wasn't entirely pencil-free because the pose/angle was difficult.  As usual, I drew it so the claws wouldn't fit on the page

I just ignore it and log in

Maybe they are just Ace Ventura fans

Stiff foam beats cardboard and bubble wrap.  I use flat sheets of it, but in a pinch the noodle seems like a good alternative.  It would be nicer if it were sliced and fully covered the surface area, but that kind of foam can take a blow better than cardboard and bubble wrap

finance with a bank. You would be surprised at what they will do.

Figures it would be one with a bunch of math

what can I say? She completely turned me off of relationships. I do what I want when I want and I am a lot happier. Maybe I could meet the "right" lady, but I am not looking at all. I get hit on frequently due to job but I just ignore it.

What job do you have that invites getting hit on?

Yet another flawless transaction with George.  Quick payment and easy to deal with. Enjoy the books, thanks for buying!

Jaydee bought a few books from me.  Quick payment and pleasure to do business with

I would share that on facebook if I could.

DYSWIDT?

Clint bought a handful of books from me.  Paid promptly and was a pleasure to interact with.  I would not hesitate to do business with Clint again.  Thanks!

I know people are loving Domino in the movie so it makes sense X-Force 11 is picking up steam.  Nice raws seem to be going for $25 - $35 and CGC 9.8 are breaking the $150 barrier.

Man and I couldn't give it away on the boards a few weeks ago

OK, that wraps it up for this round.  Ends Friday.  Will post another thread as I get time.  Thanks all for the purchases!

So, how to proceed? Being a nice guy and taking my time to tell people the truth is not working so I'm wondering what to do.  Perhaps?:

 

Nobody buys those anymore, it's all digital

It's common knowledge that e-book sales have peaked (2014) and hardcover book sales have surged in recent years. It amazes me that after the launch and popularity of new formats on the promise of 'convenience' sensible people migrate back to original formats once they realise they've been duped into believing new formats are automatically better. There is a lot of money to be made in the digital arena but I refuse to be mugged. Why haven't comic book fans migrated to digital platforms? REALLY?

The answer IMO to the OP question is age.  Most comic readers are 30+ years old.

To the above, though, I think what drives people back to printed books is that digital books aren't cheaper, but you pay that money and do not get a possession.  It feels like a rip off.

Adding a few more and then wrapping up the thread on Friday.
