  1. I personally collect for fun and the value of reminiscing, so I try to keep it to amounts I wouldn't mind if the value all went to zero. In which case I'd just crack open the slabs and go on with my life. That having been said, I don't see anything wrong with this. And the concept really isn't different or strange. There are already various investment vehicles for getting "slices" of something expensive other than a publicly traded company--and I've worked on some of them. They are legitimate, though they often don't make money. It's just slightly more fun, for people who have an interest in whatever the item is, then more traditional investments. I hadn't heard of rallyrd, but I'm sure they have a honey of a disclaimer, and maybe even some sort of income/assert requirement, as other services do to keep it purely to disposable income.
  2. First time seeing these awards. Do DC and Marvel always get so shut out?
  3. It was never about "negotiating"--I agree that should be done in a PM. It was about something really strange--something that I am pretty sure you, VintageComics, having seen your threads, would never be guilty of. So in your hypothetical, if those eggs were $40 for a dozen, and I saw someone picking them up, I absolutely would say something, if nothing else just out of curiosity about what makes those eggs so damn special. I wouldn't knock them out of their hand--they have the right to pay $40 for a dozen eggs if they want, but we could have a brief, civil chat about it. That's just being neighborly. It's all in the execution. The key difference between me and the majority of people in this thread is that I was coming from it from a position of reasonableness and civility, which I see now just cannot apply here. If people are generally reasonable, then 1) this scenario would be really rare and 2) it could actually be useful (i.e., the seller may actually appreciate the feedback). Whereas most people here think you have too many trolls and animosity between board members that you can never actually have a civil discussion, so it would simply devolve into trolling and ruin even threads where stuff was fairly priced and there really shouldn't have been any discussion. Ironically, based on some of what I observed in this thread, that does seem likely. And that's okay--it was never an attempt to change the rules, just a topic for discussion. (As was said repeatedly.) Sadly, culture these days, especially in America, is pretty hostile to dispassionate reflection.

  5. $80 Sold I got tired of trying to find this and bought a bunch of raws and submitted them myself. So now I have extras. (Of course in the meantime someone put one up on eBay for $129, but too late.) Still some of the raddest art to ever go in a comic book. Those lines are just reflections--nothing wrong with the case.
