Ah ok, I saw the 8/09/09 update but not the one that followed. I figured there would be posted by the wronged people saying they got righted. When I didn't see that it didn't occur to me that he was off.
Glad it came to a resolution for everyone involved.
C
Same here - was glad to see that worked out.
And he pulled the PGX book off over the weekend he had in the sales thread. Guess folks didn't see Arch's clarification recently no PGX books in a CGC forum for sale.
I bought a PGX book a few years ago off the boards, won't tell ya who though, it was a very very very scarce book that I'm glad was sold here.

Just wanted to mention that people don't seem to be checking the probation list, or they are ignoring it.
I just noticed another list member, repeat list member, with a sales thread this weekend that non-noob members were buying from.
Are you talking about comicseekers?
-
Why to people increase their price here and claim its a bargin? A lot of us look at other sites and can easily see the book elsewhere for less. Ask what you want, I don't care, just don't lie to us about it. 'nuff said
I've mentioned that before, glad I'm not the only one that sees this going on.

And to do it to Steve, wow. We were all teenagers once. I would wager that you'd be hard pressed to find one among us that was this much of a disrespectful *spoon*.
Honestly, I was a dik, but I NEVER would have shown this kind of disrepect to someone who was so generous with me
He needs to get his azz physically kicked, by his parents or his peers. I realize that isn't a PC thing to say, nor is it enlightened or evolved, but it works. Some of the best lessons I learned, I learned from getting my azz handed to me.
He needs to get his arse whooped in public by a 10 year old girl. I've seen this kid, any 10 year old girl could take him.
I think he could take a 10 year old girl, hell any girl for that matter. Once they look at that goofy looking kid they'll fall themselves laughing histarically.

Not sure where to post this but figured this was the place.
In SD Steve B. took Connor(CapFreak) under his wing, and as I understood it hooked him up with a hotel, passes etc.. Very nice thing to do...giving a kid a second chance because we all make mistakes.
Long Story short, Conner somehow got Steve's cell phone and left a less then desirable message on Steve outgoing voice mail. Why I do not know, but I do know it cost Steve dearly in terms of cleaning up the mess.
Connors parents were contacted and they pretty much did nothing.
If any of this is incorrect Conner please feel free to set me straight, otherwise take a hike.
Isn't this something Steve or Cap should be revealing vs. hearing it second hand on a public forum? Not trying to defend his actions, if true, but this doesn't seem to be one of those issues that should be exposed by anyone other than the original parties on a message board...
Jim
I disagree. I'm glad Kenny posted it. It just reinforces the fact that Connor is a clueless little individual_without_enough_empathy that doesn't care about anybody else but himself.
The story is true. He changed Steve's personal voice mail to an "F" bomb greeting.
Steve lost lots of business to Heritage because of that. It was a few days before SB realized what had Conner did. By then the damage was done.
I have no doubt it's true. Just think it should be addressed by the persons affected vs. hearing it second hand on a message board. That's how rumors start and stories gain a life of their own when the people affected aren't here to get the facts straight...
Jim
the story is true, and worse than you could imagine. I understand Steve didn't want to come on himself and let it be known, But Kenny felt that other people need to know this, and Steve said it was ok to post it. There are people who may not have been aware of What Connor has been up to, but this takes it to a whole new level. I agree that people need to be aware because it has to be known that he can not trusted in the slightest degree. There is a difference in posting flippant remarks & not mailing books and sabotaging a person's job & reputation.
I was going to call Steve today and let him know that I would be more than happy to represent him in any legal action, free of charge, should he decide to take that route.
There's nothing like a multi-thousand dollar judgment to make a lax parent change their attitude.
I hear there are some nice boot camps for delinquents out on lonely street. I will discuss with Steve the option of accepting Connor getting sent to one by his parents in lieu of monetary settlement.
Hey, Connor, how fast do you think your parents will have your bags packed for boot camp if it means they don't have a to pay out a settlement for your actions?
I hear they have very fashionable hair stylists.
Hope you got a good laugh at Steve's expense. I am ready and able to make sure it's the last time you laugh for a good long time.
Best,
Chris
Right on, Chris! Now THAT is class in action!
I don't want that twerp in my military. Although, having him mop and wax my floor at my whim might be fun.

Lifelong challenge indeed!
I've been working on it for about 20 years now and I'm not even close to wrapping it up. . .maybe 40% of the way there.
Besides Newsboys (Motor City), Salidas, and some River Cities, I haven't seen much else in the way of 10¢ war book collections. It's always been like Shep described it. For the last decade or so, I've felt especially lucky if I score 2 books at a time. Don't even remember the last time I got 3 or more.
Shep, besides the Bethlehem OFF #1 which passed through my hands a number of years back, I haven't seen any other Bethlehem war books (maybe a couple I've seen but am forgetting). I've heard there were a lot. DOes anybody have any other ones?
Thanks to Adam for helping me out with that savory Newsboy post.
There was a Salida thread that we started and haven't posted to in awhile.
http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=686295&fpart=1
What do people have in the way of River Cities? Somebody wanna post those?
Here's a Bethlehem war book that I found a few years ago:

Oh, gee, I thought the fact he said HE WASN'T GOING TO PAY, should pretty much make the 30 day thing null and void.
He still has 30 days.
If you know that no amount of time will change his mind, then what is the point? Unless the point is hoping I will forget and not ask for his inclusion.In 30 days, if Mr.TawkyTawny wishes to add Paratrooper to the probabation list for non payment, then that is his option.
All of your sales threads, however, have been deleted for violating board guidelines and are no longer valid.

You reprobate, scoundrel, scalawag, base, corrupt, criminal, delinquent, evil, iniquitous, mean, sinful, vicious, vile, villainous, wicked, wrong-headed man!!!
And those are only the nice things people say about me!

good point, although I doubt that the regular folk that I buy from would prohibit me from purchasing from them even if I am on the list. I'll just have to live with being on "the list" and hope people sell to me.

I nominate myself to be added to the probation thread, due to me posting the
in the ComicSupply FS thread and only promising to pay once hell freezes over. -
74 pages about Chew?! That's more pages than Chew has published. I'll wait for the trade.
Wait a year or so, you could buy Chew for cover price or cheaper.

Got this one back about a month ago:
I thought you collected X-crement...I mean X-Men books. What are ya doing buying GA?

Yes, probation as a buyer for not paying due to financial reasons, which I RESOLVED with the SELLER!
NEVER HAD AN ISSUE AS A SELLER! So you can SLANDER me all you want, board members on these boards know my situation, and the MODS have been notified of your trolling and slanderous nature!
This was NOT a scam, believe what you will! I shipped out over 5000+ bronze age comics, some buyers liked them, some did not.POE had high expectations of what Bronze Age comics he wanted out of a box off 300+
He started a thread bashing me. After cooling off from the bashing that I received on these boards and conversing to the buyers individually via pm like I ALWAYS STATED I WOULD, I offered FULL refunds or FAIR credit solutions.
I have been selling on these board for years and NEVER HAD AN ISSUE AS A SELLER until selling these BULK LOTS! I have constantly delivered the goods as stated on time and at considerably less savings than EBAY or GPA or COMICLINK! I will continue to offer these great deals to board members and for those who do not wish to purchase them so be it. Many of you know the service that I provide and the savings, I also ALWAYS PROVIDE FULL OVERSIZED SCANS OF THE FRONT AND BACK OF ISSUES.
What I have learned from this experience is NOT TO NOT SELL BULK LOTS, especially to newbies that you have never dealt with on the boards. That means you JERRYZ also.
Hang on a second chief..Havent you been on probation TWICE?? yes or no? If you have then get down off you high horse with all this "never had an issue" why were you on probation? Cuz you gave such great deals?
Its a simple yes or no question ...
And beleive me Being a newbie is irrelavent there buddy Ive sold some stuff and all been good so dont flatter yourself that I would risk any of my money buying from you..
In law, defamation (also called calumny, libel (for written words), slander (for spoken words), and vilification) is the communication of a statement that makes a claim, expressly stated or implied to be factual, that may give an individual, business, product, group, government or nation a negative image. It is usually, but not always,[1] a requirement that this claim be false and that the publication is communicated to someone other than the person defamed (the claimant).

Just in from the May CL auction:
Great Police books! (and nice Green Lama JJShaffer!) (thumbs u
I just won this from Heritage's Sunday auction, and am happy to finally have a copy (even if the condition isn't great).
wow, I have been looking for one of those as well. So great.
I never know what that book it called, I assume Foxhole 1. When I have mentioned it to dealers they have no idea about it.
I had two, just sold one to a fellow boardie. Somewhat scarce important book.

Thanks guys (thumbs u
DC sure used a lot of pink didn't they?
And somehow it worked, even on a war cover. Who'd of thunk?
Hush you, it's faded red.

I had hoped not to do this and have probably waited way too long, but here goes.
I had bought 5 TTA pedigrees from brasseye around November last year...he was kind enough to give me time payments with the money due the middle of January. I paid off the balance (over $5500.00) by 1/23 and agreed to send him the paypal fees he incurred (he claimed over $150.00) as he would have preferred bank transfer. I did not feel safe with a bank transfer so I agreed to pay his paypal fees. The books finally ship and arrive on 2/20 minus one of the books TTA 95 9.4 Northland which was $450.00.
I emailed him and sent PM's and did not hear back from him for a week. He finally responded saying he was stuck in New Zealand with Visa issues and was going to see if he could work out the book getting sent from England. After a month I emailed/PM'd again and the same promise again was made that he would try to get someone to ship the book out for him. By mid April I emailed and PM'd to ask for a refund as it was obvious that he could not get the book to me. He read my PM but did not reply...I PM'd/emailed a week later and once again he did not reply. I have not heard from him and he hasn't posted since 4/27...I want either the book or the cash, either resolution would be fine...if any English board members have any contact with him please get in contact with him to make this right...It's probably too late to file a chargeback through paypal but I will try...I made the last payment through a CC so I will go that route as well.
Damn, it's sad when guys who name themselves brindividual_without_enough_empathy screw over others. And this is for you brindividual_without_enough_empathy:

Tough call, MMC#3 is probably the worse cover of the firts 10 issues soon that note I'd take the Action #2. Did everyone in the 30's, 40's and 50's wear suits to do everything? Jump out planes, swim, etc.
what's wrong with every superhero jumping out of planes
Wearing a suit and tie? Off to a coacktail party?
not sure what you're trying to say....

She was the colorist, and she created the explosion behind the characters on the cover.
The singer Janet Jackson?
No, the colorist Janet Jackson.

You could probably just ask CGC to do that for you, pretty sure no one but you cares about that set.
