Am I reading this correctly ? Are you expecting the buyer of your stuff to pay your paypal fees ? And if so did you mention this upfront in your sales thread ? Some people do ask for paypal fees, but if that wasn't mentioned up front, then that's not fair at all to the accused. Andy

No, I've never dealt with Comcasthawk or you before, so I cannot speak from experience here. There's no set number of non-paying strikes, and there's also no way of getting booted off of the boards from being a poor buyer/seller. The Forum Sales area is supposed to be self-policed by its members and the mods generally try to stay away from disagreements here. This thread was created to allow other members to see which people to avoid buying and selling from. I can't stop you from making transactions with anyone on the Probation List, but the general idea is to stay away from those "problem members" until they clear up the mess that got them there in the first place. If someone on that list wants to get off it, he/she must make good on the transaction, or have the original finger-pointer forgive them and make a post to have them removed. That's my interpretation, anyway. Andy

Sweet books, Jeff! Andy

Now, Mephisto may want to edit his quote of yours... I'd say you're within your rights to post this case, as he had a deal with you and then backed out. Mind you, I'm not sure if the details of the case have been changed since he first wanted the book or not, but many of the blood-thirsty forumites wouldn't care anyway. Andy

Well, I don't have anything to do with this transaction, but that's a little harsh. Andy

Thanks for the advice, Troop! (thumbs u Andy

Thanks Adam. I'm trying to think who showed me that War Comics 11 for the first time. When you showed me a scan of that book about a year ago I was hot as fire to track one down for my collection. After a year with no luck and then I open my most recent purchase yesterday and nearly fainted when that was included as a freebie. I love these boards and thank you for showing me that incredible book. Also another Kudos to Buttock for the freebies. Not sure who showed you that either. But I am certain that buttock is a mensch! Hey! Who you callin...... (pauses to look up "mensch").....oh. Fay's enthusiasm made me feel all warm & fuzzy inside so I had to do a little nice-nice. Fay's enthusiasm picks everybody up! Andy

I really enjoyed Karl Moline's work from Route 666 by Crossgen. His work was stylish, catchy and overall very well drawn. Don't know if he would be considered the most talented and underrated artist since 1961, but I really like his stuff. (thumbs u Andy

He doesn't collect this! (thank god!) Maybe I'll own one soon.

Just a question, Greg, are there any books that you don't collect? Andy

The other one you're talking about sounds like this one: SSWS #92 http://www.comics.org/graphics/covers/945/400/945_4_0092.jpg Andy

Hey Fay, I bought this BEFORE the ebay embargo. And to be completely honest, I fell off the wagon... sort of. I got an email from a friend that a rare Ballantine War book (one of my other collecting habits) came up, and because of the scarcity of the book I had to jump in.... Has anyone ever read any of those Ballantine war histories from the late 1960s/early 1970s. The Series was called 'The History of the Violent Century'. It's a great, broad overview of WW1 and WW2 (plus a few other conflicts) written by some truly fine historians, like John Keegan and Alan Wykes. Anyway, we had a bunch growing up as a kid, and I always dreamed of getting the full set. There are 145 books in the series, and I am down to THREE LEFT!!! Here's the one I snagged off the 'bay..... I've been prowling on this for a while. But I haven't been looking at ANY comics - honest. Shep, do you need any of these Ballantine books? 1914 Opening Moves Barrage Bastogne Bradley Defeat in Malaya Fall of the Phillipines Kasserine New Georgia Operation Torch P-51 Palaus Ploesti Salerno Spitfire The Raiders Andy

Nice book and great shape! (thumbs u Andy

Still alright, bud. Nice book! Andy

Yeah, that OAAW 195 sure looks better than an 8.5.

Nice stories, guys. Andy

Okay, it does appear to be the same book. It looks like he tucked the bottom right corner into the book for this current auction and it was unfolded for the first auction. The white box near the bottom shows evidence of this....I think. Anyway, the new buyer just got a much better deal than the first one. Andy

It looks like a different book. The one that sold for $355 seems to be in better shape than the one selling right now. The current one also has the bottom right corner missing completely and the other clearly has it's corner. Dunno. A little strange to have more than one copy unless you're a weirdo like me, but they appear different to me. Andy

Amazing books, fellas! (thumbs u Andy

Beautiful book, Mick! Andy

Well, he's got some more books up right now http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZtennislookin Lots of nice graded ones, and an assortment of raw. If the seller's reading this right now Andy

That book would be nice as a true VF- 7.5, and if it is, $90 is alright. The top notch books don't come around too often and usually don't last too long. Mind you, if that book really turns out to be a Fine/Fine+ then $90 is way too much. (IMHO) Good luck! Andy
