Snarky is as snarky does. That book is sweeter than anything greggy has posted lately...

I learned my lesson.

I have a question. If Iron Man's armor got hot enough to melt, wouldn't that be hot enough to cook him on the inside?

Make him an offer he can't refuse. You got a raise. It's just a friendly troll. Yeah, right. I can hear it now, "The better to eat you with, my dear."

Not bad. I have had many a day like that though.

I'll take a 9.8. I'm not a HG snob.

Come on, Michael. Post something that I want to buy.

Wow, a out of Greggy. It don't mean nothing. He's always running around with his mouth open and his hair standing on end.

Ah, the infamous "Phosphorous" cover.

Go earn your raise.

I'm not that funny. I have only been recommended by four out of five board members.

You two are just alike.

With a red neck observer. Don't try to enlist me in your regimen. This is your own battle.

Wow, it's a Canadian troll civil war.

George has software that records data. Thing is that Ebay data is easier to corroborate. You can see low feedback bidders, shady sales etc and this is all noted in the GPA sales data. With dealers they are supposed to provide transaction info, not just a price...and Josh likely wants to keep his client base private. George probably does not want to record unsubstantiated sales data. The eBay data is mo more reliable. One has to assume that all of the transaction follow through to completion. Actually, any GPA sales that are questionable are noted as such on GPA. (thumbs u I can read GPA, Roy. Not every sale that falls through on eBay ends back up for sale on eBay. I have seen items that supposedly sold on eBay turn up on consignment sites. Furthermore, before you call it a flip, there was little or no profit margin involved. All I'm saying is that one is no more unsubstantiated over the other. It's all taken at face value. I suppose there is a little more authenticity in an Ebay buyer with 200 feedback than just a number on a website. George will also correct any data that might seem incorrect...but the guy is human and can't catch everything. I've helped him correct a few bad sales myslef. I'm sure he'll chime in any time now and straighten everything out...he's probably hitting the sack any second now. R. Hey Roy, I had a thought. To carry on with a discussion that we had a while ago... What is to prevent someone from shilling up their auction on eBay with multiple user ids, having one of those multiple ids win the book (thereby setting a GPA recorded sale) and then listing the book on one of the consignment sites, e.g. ComicLink? I guess then it wouldn't be too far fetched for that same person to have more than one account on ComicLink and bid their own listing up to where the next bid would be a bid that's accepted. Of course when the legitimate buyer checks GPA they will find the sale that has been recorded from eBay. Never the wiser... BTW... All you conspiracy theorists can put away your magnifying glasses. This is a conversation with Roy and not some backhanded way of accusing Roy with anything.

Wanna bet? Okay, one month.

You flipped your last horror book. I'll give you about two months on this one.

The point is that GPA could manually track the data on ComicLink, if they wanted to track it. I would not classify it as unsubstantiated data. It is as reliable as any of their other data sources. Sure, it would labor intensive and maybe that is where the problem truly lies.

I am not saying they should, but they do monitor eBay. What would be the difference?

No, I don't want to dump it. I just still feel a little bad for scooping you on it. Contrary to popular belief, I do have a tiny coal sized heart.
