I've bought from Steve on two occasions (slabbed FF # 20 & 24, the 1st time and slabbed FF # 7, the second time). and he has been great to deal with. Not one negative comment to say, it's all good. (thumbs u

I've sold to Marc twice now (TOS slabs both times) via PM. Prompt payment, good communication and friendly manner makes Marc a great person to deal with. I hope to again in the future. (thumbs u

Nice book. Those were the days when they used to put things like miscut on the label.

Very, very cool. Any idea of how much these would go for, out of curiosity?

Subby # 19 (1969) was the 1st appearance of Stingray. He later became a minor member of the Avengers.

Andy bought a slabbed Our Army At War # 128 from me recently. http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=4164950&fpart=1 Andy was great to deal with, immediate payment and excellent communication. (thumbs u

Well, I'd be happy with it. The more information, the better as far as I'm concerned.

I think that's because you've been selling here since when the boards were a lot smaller and your reputation has grown with the boards. There are plenty of us out there who do get asked about our past transactions because we're not well known.

Yeah, what Kdog said. Any easy way to alphabetize? Yes, you can do it now. Do this: -> Go to the Kudos Forum -> Scroll down to the bottom of the page to display options -> Click Sort By and select Thread Starter -> Choose Ascending This works if feedback is for the person who started the thread Hey cool, I didn't know you could do that.

It's not fear of change. This isn't really a better system, it is, as you point out, the same useless system rehashed. It's almost as meaningless as the old system was. The bottom line is that the probation thread has value because it tells you who to avoid, which has distinct value. But if new people come on, it's easy to tell through observation and interest who is a reliable buyer and seller. I know of people here who are lurkers with zero posts and no thread? So what? I rarely participated in the old kudos thread, and I won't be starting my own thread here and linking it. The probation list is a fantastic idea. The kudos thread is, in my mind, useless. Sometimes change isn't a good thing because it isn't really a good idea. This is just a bunch of people having a thread and people saying I had a good transaction. And? If you had a bad transaction, how many incidents are we going to see of that that just wasn't discussed or raised in the probation thread already? I'm not opposed to change, I'm opposed to useless change. This is it. The circumstances in which I think it'll be useful are for example when there were books offered by someone who'd been on the boards for a little while but I'd never seen them sell before or even noticed their general posting. I pass on sellers like that until they gain some kind of reputation as an honest trader. If they have a feedback thread showing that they've successfully completed transactions, then I'm far more likely to give them a try. In my own case, I've sold to a lot of board members but they've nearly all been by PM so they don't get seen by most boardies. All I can do is to provide references to prove that I'm on the level. Having a feedback forum is in my opinion a lot better than just having to provide references.

Sounds like a logical way to approach it. Personally, I think Arch is approaching it all the right way.

+1 I never bothered looking through the old kudos thread because it was so ungainly. I did leave kudos there out of politeness but I never thought it was likely to be useful to anyone.

Why?

What should people do if somebody cannot link to a thread, in other words if a transaction has been done through PM ? Yep, the vast majority of my deals are done entirely by PM with no thread to link to. Surely the best we can do is to list the book/s and date?

Bob is a completely reliable and honest seller. I'd never hesitate to deal with him.

Tom is a credit to the boards and to humanity in general. Bought from him several times including a couple of bulk lots of slabs and every transaction has been flawless. If you make it over to the UK, the first beers are on me.

I've sold to and traded with Michael and I couldn't ask for a better person to deal with. 100% positive experiences and I hope to deal with him again. (thumbs u

I've bought from Roy before and it was all good. I found him to be very freindly and helpful. (thumbs u

This thread would've been 4 times longer if you had been here. That's like an issue of What If? where they always conceived the worst possible scenario that could've happened.

Good lord, Neil's turned into a sex maniac, somebody throw a bucket of cold water over him.

Yeah, I've been looking out for a nice yet affordable copy too. I've got a mid grade raw one. Well if you don't want it Garry throw it my way It'll be for sale Neil, when I upgrade. In fact, if you really were interested, I'd let it go now to help afford an upgrade.

Fair enough. (thumbs u While I'm not sure that I ever agreed with the Kirk quote most of the time, I didn't see the progamme in question so I don't know what context it was all in. Hope you're well, mate. Long time, no chat.

Torchwood - supposedly, Primeval, no. ITV ran out of money. Torchwood is back next year, 2011 (it was meant to be Autumn 2010) I've heard rumors though that Primeval has been picked up by the Beeb (well UKTV anyhow) and will be airing a 3rd series on Watch. They killed Torchwood for me when they had Captain Jack murder an innocent child 'because it was the only way to save everyone else'. That's all but impossible to justify in my book, and the story was light years away from being written well enough to justify it! Ah who am I kidding, I'll still watch any more they can churn out Don't want to turn this into an ethics debate but why is it impossible to justify? I haven't watched the programme but it sounds like the death of one to prevent the deaths of many more? I'd say it's a terrible choice to have to make but not unjustifiable.

Nice! What are the grades? # 1 is 6.5 and # 4 is 7.0. In answer to Sagat, neither is for sale. My # 4 came from Blazing Bob too.
