  1. i'm going to guess since it says skybound that it isn't. Just a guess
  2. one of two I picked up from Jeremy. I need to take a picture of the King Kong he did for me at home.
  3. I didn't know that was you or I would have introduced myself instead of only saying that's an awesome piece. I was sitting next to Charles.
  4. The books from that thread are all here and ready to be shipped. Everything that is ever paid for via the boards, ebay or QualityComix.com will be shipped and shipped promptly. Check out my feedback on ebay. I hadn't sent out PM invoices but I didn't think that is sufficient to be discussed in a Probation thread. For some reason I've always had this as one of my "watched" threads, so I suppose I tended to post here more than on some of the others, but I've been trying to be a little more quiet, since someone accused me of being "mean" to his friends a few months ago...and you are one of this person's "friends" ...so please don't take the following as any attempt to be "mean".. There are just a few things, I'd like to bring up as a member here. 1. There were at least 2 other incidents where your name was brought up here for not mailing books on time. Possibly 3, I don't remember. 2. I don't understand the point of having a sales thread and not invoicing people, it's part of the accepted way of doing business here. 3. Yes, the seller has responsibilities too, not just the buyer. Even if money has not changed hands, the buyer should be treated with respect. and this part is just my opinion. I'm not quite sure why you made the statement above, at the very least an apology and explanation (if you had a problem getting the invoices out) would seem to be appropriate. Things happen, but brushing the incident off, seems kind of rude. +1 For some reason, that response REALLY rubbed me the wrong way! To leave people hanging without sending out invoices for well over 30 days and then come on here and state how "prompt" your shipping is as soon as someone "pays" , I just don't get for the life of me I'll ask again, when exactly were you planning on invoicing people that thought they were buying books in early April??? That just strikes me as incredibly rude to your buyers. At the very least they deserve apologies and IMMEDIATE invoices, not statements about how prompt your shipping is! Agreed. Brent you seem to have many friends in the hobby and I get the impression that you're honest but you seem to have problems completing your sales transactions on time. I don't see it as probation worthy since money hasn't changed hands but I appreciate hearing about it and I'm sure many others do also. And Brent, your apology sucks Others may disagree, but personally, i do DEFINITELY see this as probation worthy. When a buyer doesnt pay, no money changes hands but they get put on the Probie list for leaving the seller hanging when he was expecting payment. I dont see how this is any different. Buyer hitting the , are expecting to be able to buy the books theyve chosen. They commit to buy and im sure then pass up opportunities to buy the same books elsewhere. When a seller then just completely ignores them and doesnt even bother to send out an invoice, to me, that is certainly probation worthy. I just dont see any difference whatsoever between what he has done and a buyer who refuses to send payment after being invoiced. he has a commitment to sell to buyers just like buyers have a commitment to pay To me the difference is that the buyer could have contacted Brent requesting to pay. I believe that didn't happen. SOP is for the seller to invoice the buyer but there's nothing stopping the buyer from initiating contact and I don't think the seller should be put on the list until the buyer has made a reasonable attempt to pay. There was an open PM at the time from when the sale opened where I had asked Brent a question. It doesn't fall on me to contact the seller. It wasn't just me that was missed, as far I know, no one got an invoice. This was a large multi day sale with many buyers. There is no difference.
  5. John Byrne- NO Mike Netzer lives in Israel and does local stuff. He came to a detroit show a couple years ago. 1st time in a very very long time. Tom Lyle shows up unannounced at Heroes a lot as he's with the Savannah school of design who exhibit there. Others i'm not sure on.
  6. my lawyer, comix4fun, will be sending a letter today to chainnball about defamation of character. I will not tolerate you slinging the word private through the mud
  7. I don't care either way if you probation quality or not. I was just bringing this to the committee's attention as it seems there have been multiple instances over the years of crappy customer service. This one irked me as I spent quite a bit of time over a few days watching and winning auctions and then there's the lazy answer of well no money exchanged hands . I won't deal with him again. Should have headed the earlier warnings.
  8. Wasn't private, Rich advertised all over the place for his trip to London to get books done. Let's keep the facts straight. Rich had a private signing with Bolton in London that he offered here. No other facilitator could get books done, especially since Bolton signed the books while out to dinner with Rich. Was referring to the fact anyone could have gotten a bolton signature from Rich. Sorry I meant he had an exclusive that wasn't an exclusive that was an exclusive which CGC didn't think was an exclusive.

  10. so people of the probation discussions i have a question. If i was to finally get said PM with invoice after 30 days, do i still have to buy said books?

  12. I try not to use the word for the sole reason that it bothers some people. I still do it from time to time because for years I said it 50 times a day. To me it means the same as dummy, but I don't want to unintentionally offend anyone. I prefer to do it head on. and it shows that you're a good person deep down somewhere in your feet.
  13. hopefully he will have some extra's in detroit
  14. I called the number on romain's email and it's an escort service.
  15. David will be at heroes, send it to adonis, he'll treat you right.
  16. I would like to add qualitycomix to the list. He had a huge sale that basically ended on 4/11/12. No money has been exchanged, but I thought it was poor form as I probably put the sign guy on $70 worth of books and he vanished. He came on a week later and purchased something and then disappeared completely. http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Board=79&Number=5592745&Searchpage=1&Main=254509&Words=+qualitycomix&topic=0&Search=true#Post5592745
