  1. It's been discussed to death, but you have to get everyone on the same wave-length. I have no problem with putting in some kind of rule. Just my opinion though. On the other hand though, long time members seem to jump at the bit on some of these sales threads. That's they're business too, but it's seemed to have come up on the wrong side too many times around here. And like I've said before, lets try something. If that doesn't work, we try something else until we find the right mix for everyone. In the meantime, I'll keep my money in my pocket. Well said. I will throw in my opinion that I do not like comics being treated as a business to begin with. I am a straight up collector. The only reason I will sell my books is to get enough cash to get a book I really desire. I feel there MAY be some inflation involved with the way some people sell here, but that is business.
  2. I've heard of the series, but having not read it myself, I have no opinion
  3. From what I have read up on him, that is a yes. He was pretty down on his luck around '05-'06. I am not sure, but I think he is developing projects again with several different publishers. I do know that some of his artwork has been for sale on eBay. I tried to get a picture of the Maxx that was supposedly done by him, but lost the bid.
  4. My gf says its pretty big but I am modest.... Oh wait. I have about 800 books, or 3 long boxes
  5. When you first joined? You've been here like two months!! it is responses like this that are truly a joy to read (nothing personal Meta) no worries, I agree. I don't mind realizing saying something stupid in retrospect. (Just an FYI there is a L after the A in my name )
  6. I was a complete jerk when I first joined the boards, now it seems no one will have much to do with me Seems we have to teach the con men to be like me, then it wouldn't be an issue
  7. I've tried communicating with him. He doesn't respond to facebook posts
  8. Yeah I find the new inking absolutely fantastic
  9. Have the first two issues, with "variant" covers. I still need the wizard mini comic, and the variant one of that as well.
  10. Nice I think though that the admin made the rules structured as they are because ultimately WE are the ones who have to police. The mods are supposed to be completely absolved of having to deal with any sales on this board. My understanding of this is in structuring it this way, there is no way the integrity of CGC can be involved with any member of this group. Which in my mind is exactly as it should be and good business. Would it be easier to brand a HoS member with a scarlet letter and have a post informing potential buyers/sellers what this letter means? Absolutely. Can it be done without compromising the admin or CGC...I dunno. Is it being discussed? More than likely, or in my mind, SHOULD be. CGC seems to have a good understanding of their customers and seem to understand the fundamentals of a economic society, which is without your customers, you have no business
  11. I didn't know it existed until I started stalking people Anyone who has been online for awhile has their style of learning the ropes in a new place. Mine is to find a grab bag of individuals who react to my posts, or have a certain style of response, and lo and behold, lead me here within a day or so of signing up. This has to be one of the most structured sites I have been on in a long, long time. I have nothing but the upmost respect for each and every member who contributes to the society, because that is what it is. A society of individuals. Some may say there is favoritism, or cliques, but all in all its just one big online community. I am in favor of being a part of, contributing to and helping this community grow. Part of that is questioning the lists, the motives and the logic of the boards. Is it right that Solarcadet1 acts with impunity and scoffs at the way things are here? No. Not at all. He could, and should IMO, leave and not bother to be where he/she has been exposed as a straight up liar and has feelings of contempt for the rules. Why put yourself through the hassle? Why give yourself a ulcer? Is there some form of ethics going through this members head that somehow they have been wronged and until there is justice they must be a royal pain in the rear? If I had that kind of energy I would have created my own competing company by now. Granted, I probably wouldnt try to endorse drive through grading, but I would make a attempt at good customer service
  12. Anyway... The PL and HoS lists were (in MY understanding) conceived to protect would be buyers from known con men and general trolls/a holes. So if someone wishes to do business with a person they know full well who is on the list, it's cavet emptor. Period. The list integrity is still in tact, nothing changes. The saying, You cannot fix stupid, totally applies here. Then again, Hado has had several dealings with S1 and I've never heard him complain.... Business is business....
  13. Man I loved Jack as Joker, but I will admit that Ledger did a pretty good job.
  14. or read his pm's Did you email his Paypal account email address? If he hasn't read it or responded by monday I'll open a case. That seriously sucks....
