I have to agree, but you still see endless noise in the threads. Pat does have a point that a little banter is good and does help a thread but the inane graemlin post after graemlin post, after gaemlin post after graemlin post does nothing but pad individuals post count that ordinarily have nothing substantial to add. Some have always added to society and then there are the select few that do nothing but suck it dry without ever giving anything back.

So how many bumps are allowed and how often?

# Gift grade!! nice one (thumbs u How is that a 9.6?? Did they get it confused with another copy? Do you have a 9.6 in an 8.0 case somewhere? Not to rag on someone's book... but that really doesn't look like a 9.6 to me either. Why is it that when CGC misses the grade(s) on my book(s) it's always unfavourable? Comments like these sound be sent in a PM. Since you all did it publicly your all dinks.

Not a bad one to own either (thumbs u

Very nice KC. I remember pulling this one off the spinner rack when it first came out.

That's some sweet junk.

Look at it this way. You own a brick and mortar store. You have people in your store who are browsing and buying. In comes a guy who asks you a question about having item X. You say no. He frowns and (maybe he has bought in the past) walks around the store interrupting your customers by yelling out at the top of his lungs every 5 minutes. The every 2 hours yells out again you are having a sale. Maybe he waits in line with nothing to buy just to say high ocassionally. The first time it's amusing, after the 5th or 35th time it gets annoying I am going to respond to this and try to remain even on it. IF you owned a brick and mortar store, you would likely ask this person to leave. I stated in my initial post that if the SELLER does not like this activity in his thread HE should PM the offending party, and have it resolved. There is NO DOUBT in my mind that the ComicGrinder would stop if asked nicely. Now with that being said we will move into a whole new discussion. The forum sales are a good place for the members here to buy and sell books. I think it is great that a number of members do this. What I dont like is the LEACHING. Too many find this as a great flipping grounds and the equal of setting up an Ebay store. If you honestly believe this to be a way to bring in income, then I do not approve. You have opted for fish in a barrel.. While it is as I stated a gret place for collectors. The people who realistically only post here to sell books are just taking advantage. To come in here with every new tack of submissions, and quote GPA is really not cool IMO. IF you wanted to offer forum members a decent deal, or unload some extras thats one thing. But too many treat this place like their own personal site. This is a generally light-hearted site, and people are very friendly IF you want to be strictly business by all means take your books to Ebay and post in the other forum offering a link. But to come here and demand that people treat this forum like your own personal store is more BS that many of us just deal with. Do you honestly think people havent caught on to this stuff?? You basically equate to the childhood term of USER by this action. And I think that many who have taken this stance have seen the drop in activity in their threads. This is and will hopefully remain a fun place. So stop the bytching and moaning like a bunch of brats and deal with it. I deal with people who just come here to make money, you guys can learn to deal with us poking fun at you and having some laughs. This whole conversation should never have taken place. But people who abuse the selling forum IMO by just coming here to post books, and have no ACTUAL input in the other forums are just not my kind of folks. You guys wanna Krap where you eat, thats fine. Just realise people will start to understand your whole motivation to be here. This post is not directed towards anyone in particular as I consider both Grinder and Arex to be good people. You completely missed the point of the post. Completely. Nosie can hurt as much as help. CGC allows people to post books for sale. Mama has decided thats good for us. If someone wants to bump a thread or comment on a book I thinks that great and admirable. Just know when enough is enough. It's not just blue's thread we are talking about here. If it was JUST blue's thread this would have been a non-issue. and i have had quite a few PM from sellers on these boards expressing to me in the last 24 hours not to take what you guys are complaining about to heart as they dont mind me chatting or bumping their threads in the least bit. I stay out of your sales threads and always have. Know what, life is too short to argue about stuff like this. I don't know whats going on in your life, and if this is what is keeping you sane more power to you. Just do me a favor and shrink the image in your sig line so I can turn sigs back on.

No I didnt. you are mising the point of it being the sellers decision if he wants the activity stopped. Not anyone elses. I guess being courteous no longer counts.

I replied to a couple of posts and made obvious friendly bumps when his thread hit the bottom of the page. BIG DEAL! If you dont like me ignore me, if you want to bad mouth me thats fine to, but get your facts straight . Now picture this with every store on the block.

I second that.

Friendly banter was never the issue. It got to be too much. I can understand bumping a thread or asking a seller if he has a certain era book, but not every 30 seconds.

Book has been graded. CRM/OW is the PQ 6.5 Universal sweet same grade as my copy (thumbs u Very nice, even better page quality. I wanted to buy a copy 2 years ago and never did.

I like.

It does, but it looks much worse in the scan. Even if it comes back a 5.5 I would be happy but many who have looked at this book in-hand say 6.0 with a possible 6.5 if pressed.

Back has a CGC so I would say 6.0 maybe 6.5. If their was no crease maybe 7.5. Then again if their was no crease I probably could not have afforded it. Here's a 7.5 copy for comparison: Bob, Unless I am missing something on the BC Just my opinion and I do not have the book to inspect but this looks better to me than a 7.5.

Thanks. Looks like a solid 6.0. and I will post the results when I get it back from CGC.

I was ready to put a bid in on a 6. X-Men #1 and this kinda fell in my lap. Once I saw the Hulk on the cover I was sold.
