interesting...I would LOVE for one of (or all) my kids to want to work for/with me...if you are "working" for them, you are earning money they would otherwise pay someone else...doesn't make sense to me, but what do I know...every family is different Honestly, I think it is usually healthier for the kids to strike out on their own. How can a child ever really consider themselves an independent adult if their employment still depends on their parents? How can they have any confidence that they are actually good enough to get a job on their own? Nepotism leads to a lot of ugly situations. 100% agree. Almost all of the examples I have seen where children work for their parents have ended poorly. My brother in law worked for my in-laws for a bit and they had to fire him - that is awkward to say the least.

Why do I see this discussion ending with "HELL NO".

Ok - that just keeps looking better and better

Where exactly are you on your road to success?

Sell first Zoom now or after he premieres in the show? That is the question.

I'd say more people would want Spidey's first if you could buy them for Hulk 181 money.

Has the bubble popped?

better then any show on TV.

I bought a slab from Greg and it arrived safe and sound. I'd definetely buy from him again.

As in 1st TPB? Or the 1st book in the series?

I was wondering the same thing. It doesn't appear as though they're keeping a lot of the more religious mythology aspects based on that trailer. I mean... maybe they're going to surprise the non-comic audience with it, but still... I think we saw Herr Starr, and a glance of Tulip, and maybe Cassidy in the jail cell? But umm... what about Genesis? Pretty sure swerving the audience with angels/demons/Genesis/etc might not really be the best way to gain audience. I like the chances of the series being successful if they don't show the religious parts of the comic. They can still have a good plot without it. Uh...what? The 'religious parts' are the core of the story. Angel/Devil offspring. Search for God. Destroying Angel seeking vengeance. If it doesn't have these elements, what's the point? Why call it 'Preacher'? Does anyone know how much Garth Ennis has to do with the production/writing? Hopefully he has a key role such as Kirkman's on TWD. I would love for the show to stay true to the comic but having the descendants of JC being protrayed as inbreds may not go over well with a lot of the possible audiance.

Not my favorite promo ever but it does its job. I definetely want to see more.

It may not be PC but I'd also take a look into how you present yourself. If you drop off the resume looking like some who will flake on them they will not give you a call back. Get a hair cut - wear a polo and jeans - make a good impression.

Every time you get a 9.4 and below on moderns you should get punched. That X-men 266 CGC 9.0 should make you leave the hobby. If grades are all that you care about, you should leave the hobby. Strange comment for someone who is on a message board sponsored by a grading company and posting in a thread about what graded books you just got back.

That looks like the one Joey Post used when he was grading a book at Baltimore this year.

I was thinking welding because I don't have a knack for anything else. With your pleasant demeanor and seemingly endless ability to turn the other cheek, you should give some thought to something in the customer service field. I think that's something you might be very good at. A good personality and a thick skin are traits that are difficult to find in a customer service representative. As a sales rep? or in general? Sales rep? Start off small and see how it goes. Work at a Best Buy selling TVs for a bit and keep looking for a better job once you have gotten your feet wet. Don't always look for the instant jump to the big time.

What do you have:)

Ugh - I must have sold 4 Alias 1 NM/NM+ copies this last year for $50-$55. I bought them cheap before they exploded so I was happy but a could a would a for sure. I've got my last copy in for grading and saw a guy setting his price at $100 at a small local con yesterday.

It's not on E-Bay but I must have had 4 people ask about Killing Joke at my Con today. I of course am all out but it definetely a hot book.

That's sealed it - no more selling of Daredevil 4s until after the show comes out. That was a fantastic trailer. Darker then I imagined it would be. Question is how long can they keep the Purple Man alive before killing him off. I'm thinking the same thing, he looks super messed up and awesome. I hope he makes it out of the series and into Daredevil or Defenders. I think DD4 is still pretty underrated. Based on the work he did on Dr Who, I'd hope they keep him around for a very long time. I started buying up copies of DD 4 the second I heard he was playing the role.

Wow! My 5 SS MFT were shipped today and they were received on 10/1 after I dropped them off at Baltimore. Unfortunately my 1 SS Silver-Age book is still sitting at the Verified stage.

This shows you have sold about 45% of the books you have bought. To see how much profits you have generated you have to compare the money you have spent to buy the $9,802.52 in books. If you have invested $3,000 in buying the books out of your pocket or getting the books graded then you would have about $6,800 in gross profits. I'm assuming you have the $4,469.11 in cash or you spent it on living expenses and did not put the money back into buying the $5,333.41 in inventory? I don't understand the first question you asked me I've spent $9802.52 to buy the comics. I spent the money on living expenses and did not put the money into the $5333.41 in inventory. That would mean you spent exactly (to the penny) the amount you expect to sell the books for. Your last post right before I started writing you back seems a little more reasonable. I'd expect you to make about 20% in profits before you take out all the fees and expenses such as shipping materials.
