I would vote no. In fact, if no money ever switches hands I would vote no on even the board transactions. Maybe we need to add a Butthurt section. This could include the deals where we feel our time has been wasted, but that there hasn't actually been a payment made. HOS - True conman territory. Bad guys who have screwed people over multiple times. Probation- Someone took my money & it took months to get the think worked out. They fell off the internet after losing a job or a bad family situation & cannot be trusted. Butthurt- I was the first in the thread to . It's my book & the deal didn't get completed for some reason. Did I lose money? No, but I wasted a valuable 2 minutes of my life time. Similar to if you call a comic shop & reserve something, but when you arrive they can't find it or accidently sold it to another customer. Wasted my time. Sorry, it just seems like people are getting hit up for the probation thread for some pretty minor situations even when they are not bad guys or habitual problems.

Nice books.

Mr. Donut - Any specific titles or even issues to check out? Mr. Donut - Perhaps you could buy them for me and have them dropshipped to me? Could you please enlighten me as to why asking for clarification is incorrect? This is a speculation thread where people post what comics they think will go up in value. If he/she doesn't want to elaborate, fine, but I don't think asking is wrong. This whole thread probably could have started and ended with a single post - "Comics from 1992 - current should go up."; I thought this was a place for people to learn about comics and collecting them. It was a joke. Stop being a crybaby, MANNUP, and speculate on some modern comics. Another intelligent response. Again, I can't live up to your high standards - could you please tell me what I should MANNUP about? I asked a question that many other people wanted an answer to, you swoop in and mock my question, and I questioned why would you waste your - and everyone else's - time doing that. For someone that complains about other people posting worthlessly on threads, maybe you should take your own advice.

(thumbs u Speedy is right, this is annoying and unprofessional. But I'm with seanfingh, just don't buy from them. Sooner or later (probably sooner with as much as this is being discussed) the sellers in question will realize what's happening and why. Or sellers could build the Paypal fees into their price and give a discount for checks or money orders. Then they look like a hero. Actually, not really. I look on that as the exact same thing, and am just as loathe to participate in the thread. Most sellers are building their fees, whatever they may be, into their selling price as it is. Giving a discount for saving the seller money and passing that savings on to their customer rubs you the wrong way? I don't understand that.

Excuse my ignornance, Dan, but how many years do we have to hold these for? Rule of 25; what's that? Rule of 25 is that things become "popular" approx every 25 years. I think it's more that people become nostalgic for things they had in their childhood. It obviously doesn't work for everything though and there's a "rule of 25" and a "rule of 30" mintcollector should be here any minute now It certainly has worked for this hobby for a long time. The Rule of 25 holds that the "hot" collectible in any given year is what was "hot" amongst 11-16 year old boys 25 years previously. People can argue it until the cows come home, but it has always held. You can buy comics from the 1997-2000 period for literally pennies now - hold them for ten years, and you'll be just fine. Were any 11-16 boys reading those comics? Was anything popular from from 1997-2001? I'm not entirely joking.

Friends, don't let friends read Secret Wars II I have no friends. Ha!

I guess Mr. Mute-PicPoster must've re-read Death in the Family recently too. It was good for the time,

Seriously? You guys are going to speculate on books that go up $1.50 in price? To measure a business's success you do not look at $ but % of profit. This is how all businesses measure their individual stores.

Don't be so hard on yourself Larry. Many board members appreciate your input - even the ones that give you grief at times (thumbs u

There is some poetic justice going on there, I'm thinking. How long are you holding out with the emoticons, Rocky? :shrug: Ad infinitum? http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=6084375&fpart=1 Nah. As soon as your strikes are expunged from the record - and you've avoided a banning - normal service will no doubt be resumed. Ya think;)? +1
