Why would I do that to multiple people all at the same time? Why would I sell all my books that I have spent months tracking down for close to nothing compared to what I payed for them? I was at the movies and my car was parked in the first row of cars, when we came out my hole front-end was smashed in. I said it was smashed by some random drunkard cause I didn't see it go down and the angle of the hit had to come from somebody whipping in at 20+ MPH cause my car was in the other lain. I know this is your guys only way of keeping this site safe to buy and sell in but I really don't appreciative you all jumping down my throat for something that I really couldn't control. California requires that all motorist carry automobile insurance at all times. It doesn't matter whether or not you find the guy who hit you. If you are in California (as your profile says you are) you have to have insurance, and you can file a claim for your loss regardless of whether you find who did this. You should have filed a hit and run accident report with the PD, and you can give that to your insurance company and what for the adjuster to send you your check. If your car was parked and he hit your car hard enough to total it, his car would not be driveable unless you were driving a go-cart and he was driving and M-1 Abrams. That's pretty much a fact. Without your car being in motion, all of the momentum and force would be coming from his car and to destroy your car it's more than likely his car would be sitting there smoking next to yours when you came out. So it's possible your car was not totally destroyed and you "might" be able to get the insurance company to repair it. Either way if your car was destroyed in a parking lot by a car going 20 or so miles an hour might I suggest you not buy that same brand of death trap. Your insurance should cover it either way. Then you can keep your comics, get your replacement car, and still keep all your commitments without reneging. C Thanks for the positive comment dude. Well I'm done talking about this but I don't have insurance, I'm a full time student and do what I can even if it does bite me in the in the end. I was driving a 89 Toyota corolla btw, which only cost me 1k two years ago and fixing that kinda damage would cost me three of my cars. So not only are you an ininsured motorist by choice you freely purchase comics instead of following the rules and getting yourself insured. You are going to college, right? They teach you things in college, right? Who is paying for college? No wonder California is broke. Now I'm just pissed off at you. Pay the man what you owe, get yourself insured and quit buying comics until you graduate life.

Ive said it before and Ill say it now in earnest. You would do well to not post bs like this on the boards and just deal privately with the people involved. Today, now more than ever before considering recent events, you will find few if any sympathetic ears and are likely just to fan the flames of your own pyre. Take my advice and deal with the issue quietly.

Nice. Honestly though, I don't think there is a lot of interest in 100 pagers anymore. I hope thats the case because Im seriously considering working to collect them. I have fallen in love with them through my collecting and just love flipping through them. I only want Raw books that have good appeal to the eye. 8.0 or better is perfectly acceptable.

Kudos to ft88 for a fantastic lot of Swamp Thing...Great condition and I love adding them to my collection. Thanks!

Yep. CapFreak, the shortfalls that occur in the refunding process are entirely YOUR problem. YOU fix 'em, take the (microscopic, to be frank) loss on the chin, make your creditors whole and move on. If this had been my problem, I would've be running around like crazy to make amends. My name & reputation are far more important to me than .42 cent here or a dollar there. Damage done. No need for him to put forth any more effort than is necessary at this point.

Hopefully things can be sorted out but I doubt it. It seems to be to have been intentional. I bought one of Filers boxes and was very happy with what was in it. I would suggest that if any of you happen to be stuck with the books you might consider the following. Ship them off to soldiers in Iraq or Afghanistan. I do that with many of the numerous reader books I have around and I know they enjoy them and trade them amongst themselves. Donate them to a local charity, childrens hospital, DHS shelter or homeless shelter. Somehow turn a bad experience into good karma.

I dont suppose CS has anything else to say in his defense? Seems pretty well cut and dried. Someone call the cops.

Sounds like the logic someone tried to use with the CAP FREAK situation. I think money spent has nothing to do with being allowed to raise concerns. I was under the impression that the probation list was for deals that one party or another didnt honor. Money changed hands and books were sent...that is not disputed. Dissatisfaction with the product is another matter and probably needs to be dealt with between the two parties and leave the boards out of it. Someone else might be completely happy with what they got. Its a subjective argument and therefore not a valid concern for the probation list. Thats my opinion.

KUDOS to JEFFRO for some spectacular Mike Grell Green Lanterns/Green Arrows.

o.k. i mis-spoke. j And just to be clear...I would harass the tar out of them and I would not deal with any of the shifty folk on that list.

The probation list does not forbid anyone from buying or selling books on the boards. They are free to make deals with whomever they wish. It is incumbent upon the buyer/seller dealing with the probie to determine if they want to deal with that person. Not a defacto restriction except by harassment.

You're a good man J for taking all this on to resolve the situation. Thanks for showing so much care. (thumbs u I'll second that. Looks like the little turd gets away without even doing any legwork at all. I seriously hope you learn from this CAPFreak. There won't always be people who are willing or prepared to dig you out of your own holes. Even if capfreak clears up his problems I think he should stay on the probation list. Judging from his COMPLETE history in board transactions, I have to agree. A person only gets off the probation list if the people who put him there agrees to do so - as I'm one of those people, I can guarantee you that he'll stay on the list (thumbs u don't forget to pm me with your info, looks more and more that i'll just be paying the people he owes. j I commend you in these efforts but I have my doubts. Sometimes lessons have to be learned the hard way or they will never sink in. Its a character building process.

KUDOS to BILLS25 for a lovely stack of Mike Grell Green Arrows. A+++ Would purchase from again!!

This has got to be the least successful attempt at deflection in history. You would have done better to just keep quiet.

I would like to give kudos to the following.... Beau ernster whine49er All 3 were super fast in paying and great to deal with. I hope they enjoy the books.

Just got these in today. Not HG but Im pleased to add them to my humble collection

Dont hesitate....file it

From Dictionary.com char⋅ac⋅ter  /ˈkærɪktər/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [kar-ik-ter] Show IPA –noun 1. the aggregate of features and traits that form the individual nature of some person or thing. 2. one such feature or trait; characteristic. 3. moral or ethical quality: a man of fine, honorable character. 4. qualities of honesty, courage, or the like; integrity: It takes character to face up to a bully. 5. reputation: a stain on one's character.

On the death bed all that will matter is how you carried yourself through life. Ive seen a supreme lack of the above word evident on these boards recently....and far too often.

Yet another reputation trashed on the CGC boards. like sands through the hourglass....

I doubt seriously he will answer to this as there really is no excuse for it and merely bringing it up causes him to be completely......

...and in two years, your name will still be at the top of the Probation List.... (thumbs u This changes my life how?? I did what I did. Adam did what he did.... We will always agree to dis-agree. Life goes on... Than go on..live life away from the marketplace forums. Don't let the hypocrisy hit you in on the way out.

25 grand is huge. Been a big week for the "list" Let the purge begin

I think a few people here should take a step back and reflect a bit before they continue posting. Its turned into a troll feeding frenzy with Cap merely tossing more chum into the waters.

So let me get this straight, kiddy-scammer Cap Freak has not come through on a $200+ deal with you, yet he pops into YOUR thread and tries to buy one of your books? Does this seem insane to anyone else? I am not much for piling on but it does seem to me that Cap has really overstepped here. I was not really in favor of a permanent probation but Im starting to lean that direction.
