    Quality Comix vs. Greg Jortner - Important Information For The Community

    in Comics General

    Posted

    In this case, I don't believe a written contract is necessary, just proof that the money was loaned.

     

    The court will go under the assumption that if you were loaning money in a partnership, that the goal would be to recoup your entire investment plus a profit.

     

    Quality Comix needs to prove that they loaned Jortner money (canceled check, etc.), have an inventory of the books purchased by Jortner, and provide records of the books sold on E-Bay.

     

    Without a contract this is a partnership. It sounds like Jortner did the leg work to find the books, and handled the selling of the books. A court would rule how equal the partnership is. One guy wrote a check and the other guy did all the work. Both are important aspects to the partnership.

     

    Now if Jortner bought 200 books, sold 100, and is still holding the other 100 AND not paying Quality back, he is obviously in the wrong. If he bought 200, sold 200, and only shared half the money from 100 of them with Quality, he is obviously in the wrong. If he bought and sold all the books, and they just didn't earn enough to recoup the full $10k, then I don't think Jortner is obligated to be the only one left holding the bag. Also, if that were the case, Quality should have gotten the entire $4k back. Quality would loose money on the deal, and Jortner would loose time, which is what each partner put into the deal.

     

    Now for another question. How come when you hear about shady comic deals, it almost always seems to involve someone from New York or New Jersey? The lesson I've learned is to never enter into business dealings with anyone from New York or New Jersey. It seems this is true for comics, baseball cards, major electronics, real estate, etc. It just seems like this area is the fraud capital of the US.

     

    This is the 2nd time in less than a few weeks where someone has said they wouldn't do business with someone from NY or NJ. Statements like this are unecessary and not based on fact only on a few bad apples. I, myself, am from NY and have never had a bad transaction either here, ebay, or the valiant message boards. Korvac Saga (NY) and burntboy (NJ) Mutant Keys (NY) and I am sure many other NY/NJ people are above the line people as well. If I have forgotten anyone :foryou: Please don't lump us all into "bad NY/NJ people" . That's just not a fair assessment.

     

    You may not like ComicLink, Metro, or Silver Age, and if that's the case, don't deal with them. Your general prejudice against the entire NY/NJ region is just wrong and, if I may be so bold, uneducated. Shady dealings happen every day in every corner of the world...don't make assumptions on your limited knowledge/prejudice. This mess pisses me off...

    Not trying to be an individual_without_enough_empathy here, but what is the controversy with the WBN 37? Only a cover appearance?

     

    The actual Moon Knight never appears in the issue - it's an apparition/dream sequence caused by the real villain.

     

    Pretty clear-cut, especially as other issues with similar fake/dream/etc. non-appearances are noted as such. Do you think that this should be noted as a "Captain America Appearance"?

    Not necessarily an appearance, but I understand Whisps feeling towards it. I am working on all Silver Age Hulk appearances and for completion purposes I am including TOS 33 (picture on wall) and FF 5 (Thing reading a Hulk book)...

    sorry, my last post hijacking your Moon Knight thread :sorry:

     

    Keep posting what you got!!

    And to put an end to this, ebay listers considers that wwbn 37 to be a moon knight appearance, over street does and so does CGC itself.

     

    CGC and OS have made tons of mistakes similar to this, but as soon as they are highlighted, are usually quickly corrected.

     

    But like I said, it's an error on his 3rd appearance, so there's likely no hurry to correct it.

     

    I really don't care. As I have mentioned in the other thread and this one we will have to just agree to disagree. I don't care if it was a bloody figment of wolfies imagination I consider it an appearance. Is that to hard for you to understand. You drag that *spoon* over into my thread for no reason other then to be an instagating punk. Now like I said many times go troll someone else AND LEAVE ME ALONE since at this point your opinion doesn't mean squat to me. This conversation on thise subject shouldn't even have left the other thread where it started.

     

    Not trying to be an individual_without_enough_empathy here, but what is the controversy with the WBN 37? Only a cover appearance? BTW nice collection...I may have some of the Hulk Mags when you are ready to buy...I know I have dupes of the first Moon Knight in the mag...

     

    Belaric Marcosa a human ghost/magic user has the ability to manipulate others perceptions. In wwbn 37 Marcosa materialized forms of some of the Werewolf's recent opponents--Dr. Glitternight, Moon Knight, and the Hangman--which attacked him. Thus as some state it is not the real Moon Knight which is true. But on the other hand this is the third time we see this Moon Knight in any form. So some people think its not a Moon Knight appearance while some like myself still count it as a Moon Knight appearaance regardless.

     

    And yeah I will keep your name in mind when I get ready to get the hulk magazines.

     

    Thanks! (thumbs u

    I got the #14 through Bill Hughes' auction in February with BigHulkFans help. Agreeing to purchase my 8.5 definitely made my life a lot easier.

     

    Bill, I see your #14 arrived safe and sound and you sound all happy about it. Enjoy and thanks.

     

    Jim

     

    Yes it did...it did take me a few minutes to open as there was a 3 foot layer of bubble wrap, padding, bubble wrap, padding, and bubble wrap...it could have been dropped out of a plane and would have been OK :headbang:

    It's even prettier than I thought!! :cloud9:

    Thanks again!!!

    Beach, well you certainly picked a good CGC set to collect. As you can get quite a few issues for reasonable money, and then chasing the big books is the challenging/fun bit :insane:lol ...ok, don't quote me here :sorry:

     

    But seriously it is a solid run to build, and it seems you've already got most of the prized later-run issues. Gene Colan and the gang we're really hitting their stride with the cover's and interior's around then.

     

    Oh, it looks like #90 with the first Abomination will be joining the big book list, with the character definitely now set for the next Hulk movie (thumbs u

     

    I am glad I recently picked up the NL copy of 90 in 9.4 :applause:

     

    BTW beach I pretty much agree with brasseyes determination sans the 77...however, I do agree with him on the importance, but, I don't feel it's recognized as much by the general collecting community as it should be...good luck with your quest!!!
