Question. If someone makes an offer on something in your thread, you accept the offer, then the person making the offer ignores you afterwards, is that considered a problem that should be reported? (I know they read my acceptance as my PM was read). How long would you give the person to respond before considering them a deadbeat?

I dont know if it makes a difference, but did they post after you accepted the offer?

No matter how many posts we have on this topic, I continue to get books from Board members that are packed haphazardly. There is no accounting for lame-brained-ness.

(thumbs u I dont get it either. Theres more than enough info here to get it right.

I'm trying to contact the girl in the video to take care of him at the next Con. Hes too much of a kid to slap around. This is just what he needs.

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.

I also was a total jerk, but. I kind of knew when to shut up and try and learn something. You dont throw people who are will to help and teach you something under the bus. And this isnt the first time by no means. Its just another situation with him that we're talking about. To have an opportunity to learn this hobby from one of the best, and pull this is totally unacceptable. As C.O.I. states, he needs his azz whipped. I personally favor a hard open hand beetch-slap to get their attention. Its just to bad that someone that had so many people to learn from, has only learned how to be a insufficiently_thoughtful_person.

I called Kenny to get the full uncensored story.

Total move. I have no idea how to respond to that.

Connor should be banned. He doesn't belong here.

 

Ive been watching this punk post on here for months. He has no character, sense of responsibilty, or remorse. Ive seen him get arrongant and say totally dumb mess to some very respectable board members. He constantly sticks his nose in threads where no one wants him. Four times on the probation list! Come on, theres no excuses. This little twerp just doesnt get it. He offers nothing of any value to these boards.

Should I expect anything else from Nazi Germany?

 

Find an attic to hide in, pack up and go to Poland, but for heaven's sake, leave while you can!

I think you should contact the F.B.I. and be placed in the witness protection program! (thumbs u

I need a nice # 1, but its kind of pricey. I had a habit of writing on the backing board where I bought the book and the price. I bought the A.A. # 2 at the Chicago Con on 7/2/88. Paid a whopping $ 25.00. Those were the days. Stacks of them on the dealers tables back then.

I pulled a few more out of the vault today. A pair of 5's . I love that cover on the Astonish # 5 with the moon in the background and the stone men walking around!

 

Heres one i just thought Id post. A little different from the monster covers.

Very cool, first time seeing this one!

 

Thanks, this was another book that I bought at a local con for about $15.00, at least twenty-five years ago. I think the colors on this book are really nice, especially the blue despite the corner creases. Glad you like it.

Oh we like it alright...sell it to me and then it will be my book...

My books are the like the old commercials for the Roach Motel. "Once they check in, they dont check out".

I like the color strike on that Avengers # 47. Really nice.

Kudos to SLYM for a nice X-Men slab and bomb-proof packaging. (thumbs u

DRX

Kudos goes out to COLLE SYSTEMS for some nice X-men books.

Kudos to MIKEYGRIFFHARD for a bunch of Fantasy Masterpieces and Collectors Item Classics. These are going to a friend who had his collection stolen years ago. These will really be enjoyed. Fast communication and good packing.

DRX

Great looking books, and so tough to find the lower numbers in decent grade. I love those old Strange Adventures, and Tales of the Unexpected also.

DRX

Due to EXTREME heat and being trapped indoors,I am going to scrounge through the boxes and start a sale sometime this evening.

 

Grab an ice cold beer and be there!!!!

O.K. but hurry up. I dont want to be drunk when the books show up.

Wow! Although it is a probation list, wow do I like that format.

 

So easy to read and see how many times someone has been on.

 

Nicely done Count!

I like it too. And I like the idea of putting up the details of the problem to know exactly what they did to get on the list. (thumbs u

anyone driving around without any auto insurance is a tool.

Kudos to RUBE 11 for a nice batch of X-Men books and good customer service. (thumbs u

Not to change gears here but how did Vander-Pajama boy get on the list again? Must have missed it.

Pajama boy sent me a slab in an envelope.You can guess the outcome

 

He ignored countless PM's and never offered restitution.

Unbelievable, with all the info on these boards and threads on packing books. And when does just plain commnon sense take over. What a knuckle-head. Sorry about your book. Theres no excuse for krap like this.

Fraudulent sales of super-hero pajamas without a license.

I could see where that would be a reason for banning.

Those 3 to 5 page stories are so complete + satisfying. And when Jack + Stan later branch out into those longer stories, they take on an epic quality. A joy to behold!!

Thats all it took to make those a great read. Every panel had a distinct part of the story, wether it was the art the character lines. It was just enough to keep you totally focused for a few pages. And all those monster hands and arms Kirby drew, always looked like were reaching out of the pages.Ahhhhh the good old days, when a comic was worth plopping down a dime or twelve cents of lawn cutting dough.

My only reluctance is that this is the only thread I post in where anyone actually responds! Where would I post if I gave them all away!

 

I'd definitely give you guys first chance.

I think if you did part with books like those, you'd probably regret it. I know for sure that I would. Books like that in those grades just dont pop up to often. I think this is one my favorite threads. Its making me want to go read my Masterworks Astonish, and Suspense. I just never get enough of those short pre-hero stories.
