Who would delete the offending threads and why don't they just do that now?

Well, not to be a stick in the mud, but if they won't read the guidelines thread and no one here has the ability to meter out any consequences, then the only thing that will be achieved is . A pop up window will not solve the problem.

So, in other words, you guys are trying to come up something other than a new seller having to click on the thread at the top of forum and read this: The following guidelines are now in effect. Over some period of time these may be modified or expanded. As of now, dealers are allowed to post here as long as all guidelines are respected. Note that BUYERS AND SELLERS HAVE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR TRANSACTIONS. We will not resolve disputes, and purchases and sales are done at your own risk. For Sale – Threads may be removed for failure to comply, and repeated issues could result in strikes. 1. Books must be CGC or raw only, or items directly related to comics. 2. No spamming. Group your for sale items into as few threads as is reasonable. Attempts to take up front page real estate by creating multiple threads for no reason are not allowed. 3. It must be an exclusive board-only offer. If the book is offered for sale through another venue (ebay, dealer site, personal web site, etc.) then it should NOT be offered here. It should be offered in the Sales Advertising board. 4. Links to outside sites for any purpose involving purchasing the offered books are not allowed. 5. It must list specific books with purchase prices. It is acceptable to bulk price, and/or to note that package discounts may be available, but you must list a starting price that you WILL sell for. 6. List scans or information about the grade of the offered books. 7. List estimated shipping costs, times, and methods. 8. List acceptable forms of payment 9. Prompt responses must be made to buy requests made through the boards (posts or PMs). 10. Threads may be bumped three times total AND only ONE FULL DAY AFTER falling off of the front page. This does not include "sold" notices, or truly useful informational updates. Note: we CAN tell the difference between a real update and a fake bump-update. Tread that line at your own risk. If you're spam bumping, "lawyering" the rules will not save you. BUYERS When you reply to a sale thread indicating that you'll buy something you must indicate what book you're buying. Otherwise, if someone else is more specific than you are first, your offer won't be considered valid.

Those hulk books did look pretty good.

ya mean . . . like this? ACES I'll probably get reported by some guy for overcharging 17 cents on shipping or somehting. You did overcharge me once by 25 cents.

This is the area where it's happening most in my opinion... Jim As a low grade collector, I concur! Probably true. I will say this though, I find the 3.0 - 6.0 books very hard to grade. I just don't have that much experience. Always trying my best though. Is this the part where we start telling everyone to overlook your shortcomings because you are really a nice guy?

I'm sure the sellers appreciate that. Come to think of it . . . I'm going to start charging a 15% "buyer's premium" Hell, just change your id to Heritage and raise it to 19.5%.

Or stop trying to offer board members deals and just turn them all over to a consignment service.

It doesn't happen often, but I have sold some books on the boards that if the buyer paid by paypal then breaking even just turned into a several hundred dollar loss.

PLEASE. It's ninety freakin cents!

In my opinion, the amount of money is irrelevant. It has to do with staying on course with the deal that was agreed upon.

If someone wants to negotiate on the price of your book, then I do not see using the paypal fees or whether or not if they will pay by check or MO as part of the negotiation as anything wrong. This is of course before the deal is finalized.

You like me. You really like me.

In exactly what manner should the "f" word be used?

PM is the only way. Any post, no matter how polite, will not go over well.

Yeah, but you'd have 100% sell through. I've only sold 1 book. The least expensive of the bunch. Get in there you tire kicker. Watching the game instead I don't have a TV. I sold it so I could make it to Chicago to kick your azz. Must have been a really big TV.

Not all UPS drivers are evil.

I had someone want to back out of a deal unless I wanted to give them a discount because they had found a book they wanted more.

My name is Jim... and I am grading impaired. I haven't graded a raw book in four months, two weeks and five days. That's why I only sell slabs.

Boy you sure seem to know alot about sympathy and pity f..s You don't have to go to hell to know what goes on there.

That's even worse. Now it's nothing but a pity f.

F you again (thumbs u That was just a sympathy f...

I do not know to whom you might be referring...

I don't think there are any blood-thirsty forumites around here.

Sure, say that after you bought more of my sweet books. Always a bridesmaid, eh?
