It would be a waste to spend your 3 express coupons on those books - they can all be submitted under the regular Modern tier. Save your express coupons for higher value, pre-1980 books :thumbsup: Thanks for the pro tip...now where to find 9.8 tundra crows... Good luck. They're a batch.

There's a 9.8 of #1 that exists....the only one....

I can.

Wow, that is really cool! Yeah, that's a really neat book. Thanks guys! Its definitely a great book im glad i have in my collection. Want me to sign it...? You can get it SS'd....

There are a couple of Chaos comics that are "1 of 1" Can't get rarer than that.

If interested in what? Looking at the book...? Gossiping about the book...?

If interested in what? Looking at the book...?

Indeed.

Wasn't trying to cover "any possible scenario." Simply pointing out that the "for example" is, at best, unclear, and at worst, faulty.

Hence my continued and consistent efforts to point out that no one is bound to do any of it. No one has to put anyone on it, and nobody has to abide by it. Nobody is bound by anyone, or anything, except the GENTLEMEN'S AGREEMENT (and if someone reading this doesn't understand what this means, hit the link.) If someone ends up on the list, there is absolutely nothing (except other sellers, and then only for that particular seller's items) stopping them from both buying and selling. It's true what they say...speak confidently and people will consistently accuse you of trying to "impose" your beliefs on them, when, in fact, their very own arguments could be the ones persuasive enough to convince a consensus. Would they, then, be guilty of trying to "impose" their ideas on everyone else? However...I will, again, disagree with you about them being part of "the board rules." They may not be "official", but they serve in a de facto capacity as such. "The reality makes the rule." Notice how many people are forbidden to buy if they are "on the list."

Oh, but in fact, it very much is, IF the time period specified is less than the "gentleman's agreement" of 30 days. "Payment is to be received by" is not a time payments agreement. Time payments agreements are always specially negotiated between buyer and seller. "Payment is to be received by" applies to everyone, and must be stated upfront to be in effect (or actionable, outside the standard rules.) "Payment is to be received by" is always less than the 30 day time period (otherwise it would be redundant), while time payment agreements are always more than the 30 day time period (otherwise they would be unnecessary.) The 30 day clock starts when the agreement is violated, not when it is contracted. The clock cannot be retroactively started at Day 1 simply because the buyer violated the agreement.

Daredevil sure likes that highwire act.... But Supes did it first....

Contrary to popular belief, Byrne was NOT the first one to use this pose...

Jack used the same layout twice, in 5 months.

Not always. c) The 30-day rule is suspended...if the transaction cannot be completed due to, for example, the item being sold to someone else. This is still problematic. If I sell someone an item, and on the 33rd day after , I decide to not allow them the 30 days to make good and sell it to someone else, I can immediately put them on the PL list...? What is the point of 30 days to "make good" if they can't "make good"...? Refusal, sure, no problem. That's on them, and releases the seller. But there's no point of having 30 days at all if I can sell the item before they get to "make good."

In the end the buyer did say they didn't want it(after reading several PM's but not responding to them)...which was understandable not being able to pay in the situation. But think the lack of communication and taking the time to read the message and just disregard it. Like Bio-rupp stated that if a seller asks if they still want the book, and plan to make payments etc, after little to no attempt has been made to make payments/communicate with the seller then the time should be started. Sorry, don't make it down here too often. In regards to the Spider-Dan situation: He wasn't even talking about probation when he started the thread. He wanted to know when he could re-list his book without violating any Board Rules. "Probation" is part of the "board rules", so even if he didn't mention it specifically by name, it is included by implication. Sure, it's common sense when a seller specifies a payment requirement shorter than the standard 30 days. Unfortunately, that isn't the case here. If someone is ok to wait 90 days, there's really no reason they shouldn't be ok with 120 days, barring some very unusual circumstances. Since the guidelines aren't hidden, everyone should take them into consideration when buying and selling. If less than 30 days is an absolute must (like, for example, "MUST PAY IN 3 HOURS OR DEAL IS VOID"), that should be stated upfront, with the appropriate disclaimer ("IF NOT PAID IN 3 HOURS, ITEM WILL BE RE-OFFERED") and anyone not following through should absolutely be eligible for the PL immediately after such a circumstance. But when there is a time payment agreement that extends beyond the "unstated" 30 day requirement, then yes, 30 additional days past the agreed upon deadline is reasonable. After all, if the 30 day rule doesn't apply to time payments scheduled longer than 30 days, what is the point of having it? A seller who accepts time payments understands that they are not going to be paid right away anyways, but the buyer forfeits the grace afforded the 30 day rule? So, if the buyer agrees to pay in 6 weeks, which they have budgeted for, but then something relatively disastrous happens that wipes out that budget in week 5, too bad, so sad, make with the dough? They don't have the same 30 days to "scrape together the cash" afforded the guy who did NOT ask for time payments in the first place...? Keeping in mind that the buyer not being able to come up with the cash upfront is the very reason he asked for...and the seller AGREED TO...time payments...? That's common sense...? :shrug: The 30 day rule is to allow buyers to remain in the good graces of the board. Nothing more, nothing less. It should be afforded everyone, whether payment is due and payable today, or in 6 months, barring "PAYMENT MUST BE REC'D BY XX" (shorter than 30 day) type situations, which must be stated upfront. There's no need to sarcastically mischaracterize the situation just because you don't agree with other people. There is no "probation committee." Each and every member of these boards is free and welcome to discuss, and move to change, any aspect of the Probation List that they want. If you want to change them, feel free. Most persuasive argument wins. He asked a question, he was given an answer. And, which fact you neglected, the only person who could put Dan on the PL and "out of the board's good graces" is his buyer. If his buyer chose not to, nobody else could, either.

Daniel Day-Lewis is a great actor, indeed, but not even in the top 5 of all time. Puhleaze.

This...THIS is comedy gold right here.... Know what's worse than laughing at your own jokes? Your jokes.

Poor form edit. I've caught you editing more times than my girlfriend's caught me looking at porn. That's A LOT. I wasn't commenting on the edit. I was commenting on its poor form. Subtle, I know.... Once you make a stupid American joke, have the cajones to stand by it.

This...THIS is comedy gold right here....

Poor form edit.

Your mum is so Canadian, all she ever does is watch John Candy films, drinking Labatt 50, while complaining about the fact that she has to wait three years for her next MRI.

Your mum is so stupid, they shipped her off to Canada to teach the gifted students.
