  1. They are clearly afraid of waking up in a ditch dressed as Wonder Woman with a missing wallet and a sore azz, and not remembering how they got there. Fixed that for you.
  2. I was thinking more about fly-by-night sellers than doofi who don't follow through with a board sale and wind up on probation. Improper use of the probation thread by moi. Flowers to all!
  3. Who are these people? I`ve never heard of half of the members who are cited in this thread. Are they "real" members or do they just come on to buy or sell? If the latter, then it seems dealing with this type of "fellow board member" is just as risky as dealing with some anonymous stranger on eBay. That's why I keep suggesting at least a minimal post count be required before selling here, but I'm just a lonely voice in the wilderness, derided for expressing such a sage recommendation.
  4. But the Selling Forum isn't ebay. Or at least it didn't use to be.
  5. After every VCC there seems to be a bump in the number of new sellers. I'm still against any sort of restrictions on who can and can't sell here. I think us boardies do a great job of policing this place and the law-breakers are usually swiftly vanquished. Sadly, there are those few enablers who buy from sellers who don't post prices or follow the rules. And those people suck. A few? There's plenty! These fly-by-night sellers should be ignored or pointed to the rules and then ignored, but some people have to have their comics and encourage these guys either through buying or bumping their threads with chatter. I tired quickly from pointing out the rules to these sellers, because I'm then lambasted by other board members. Restricting new sellers to a minimum of posts before they can sell isn't really that much of an imposition or restriction.
  6. I like it! I think I'll start selling my books that way.
  7. Kudos to Stronguy for the Battle 68! Shipped fast! (thumbs u
  8. SA and early BA good stuff, or just late BA and CA krap? Beyonder, such announcements should be made HERE! Aces, I call dibs on the Cap 109. The Star Wars 1 is all yours.
  9. When I get home I'm sending Kramerica a beater copy with Divad's return address.
  10. My first scan of a slab. I am still working out the kinks. Just a hunch, but maybe the forum could recommend a scanner that would be more suitable for scanning slabs? Yeah, good idea! Try posting it in General.
  11. Enough of these HG shenanigans! This book doesn't fit the bill, and has a minor spine roll with requisite wear, but it is tough book and has no chipping. Low-grade collectors untie!
  12. Is it me or has there been a lot of grumpiness lately in Forum Sales threads?
  13. Big kudos to Arex for the TTA 20, always a pleasure to do business with; to JRRK for the sweetest 5.5 FF 14 I ever seen; and to CD4ever for the latest batch of books and for being a smell - I mean swell guy!
  14. They mean nothing in one sense, but a minimum post count may minimize the amount of jackazzes who think this is a free version of an ebay storefront with hundreds of rubes waiting for their crappy wares.
  15. I think I forgot to thank Buttock for the nice Weird Mystery Tales 1.
