  1. You were probably just being snarky. Oh, sorry about the jinx smackdown I put on the horns last night. I think you just moved to the front of the Bedrock groin punch line. Folks lining up for my groin? Won't be the first time. Please, not the transvestite story... again. That was inspired by ciorac. He told me I could pull it off. So you are starting the line for Ciorac's groin? Starting?

  4. If this thread gets enough new posts in it, he'll show up. It's kind of like Beetlejuice.
  5. He only posts in threads about him or started by him.
  6. I'm going to feel dirty in the morning, but... Oh, but it's SUCH a delicious kind of dirty..... No it's not. It's a 'waking up with Rammstein playing in your head, your wallet empty and a lady-boy lying next to you' kind of dirty. Mein Gott, now that's dirty.

  8. What is it, Pocahontas? I'm just waiting for my check to clear so all my slabs will heretofore be from the collection of "Ultimate Ninja Badass . . ." Put down the crack pipe.
  9. Ha...learned something new. That makes the whole ped thing more interesting and impressive. That would work as well, so instead of being a ped he gets recognized for this amazing collection and all the books get a bump because of the way he collected over a period of time. what kind of numbers are we talking about? How many 9.9's make an amazing collection? Oh and a side note did the seller get his check yet? Danny "From the Collection of ___________________" designations are not given. They are paid for.
  10. My ears are burning. Reported side effect of second-hand Valtrex exposure. Two STD jokes leveraged against me in less than a minute; my mother would be proud. Yeah, proud it isn't your sister.
  11. My ears are burning. Better your ears than your when you pee. I got both. They don't cancel each other out, fyi. Ah, the gift that keeps on giving.

  13. Andddd...right on cue, here comes Watson, stirring the pot. It's almost Pavlovian, ain't it...? I wasn't even talking to you or about you, for matter. However, I guess water finds its own level.
  14. “No man knows less than the man who knows it all.” Corollary: “The only fool bigger than the person who knows it all is the person who argues with him.”
  15. I recall being dumbfounded over the purchase price. However, I don't recall any conspiracy theories.
  16. I think percentage-wise we're probably not too bad as we have grown quite a bit over the 5+ years I've been here. Remember, at one time the selling forum was just one forum with crickets chirping in it undisturbed for days on end. I wish that was true - speaking from a personal point of view, I've had more problems with buyers & sellers here than I've had in 10 years on ebay Ditto. How many more transactions do you do compared to eBay now vs. then? eBay used to be the big dog and also the big hassle. I find I am doing 10-100 times more transactions on there than I am on eBay now. When I was doing lots of business on eBay almost every other book was overgraded, some were poorly packaged, some were restored and never heard from the seller again etc. On here it might happen once in 100 purchases for me. Is it possible that perspective has just changed? R. I would say that I'm using ebay twice as much as the boards. I can and do get overgraded books on both sites (which has curtailed my spending on comics all together). But only here as a buyer have I had board member cancel my pm purchase because another boardie complained that I did not put the in the thread. And only here have I had a board member cancel my purchase because the book got returned to them and they didn't want to pay the shipping to me twice. Sure I was refunded my money but that is not the point, I paid in good faith and they should have honored the sale. I would never treat you like a second class Canadian, L.
  17. Have you ever heard the term "grading on a bell curve"? It's a method of distributing grades in a predetermined manner and frequency, so that you have X number (or %) of A's, Y number of B's, Z number of C's, etc. Same with CGC, and you'd have to be incredibly naive not to understand that. In fact, this methodology at the better-than-NM level is absolutely key to their very existence. (worship) Christ, we've I've missed you. Fixed that for ye, governor. (thumbs u

  19. Come on now, Tom. How can you even put NM 98 in the same league as FF and GL #1?
  20. When did this become Lord Of The Rings One Sale to rule them all, One Sale to find them, One Sale to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.
