  1. I've posted this story before, but I always like a new opportunity to trot it out again:

     

    Biggest thrill was in the early 1980s, wandering through a used book fair and spying a cardboard box of comics under a seller's table. Asked if I could look through them, and my heart almost stopped when I found FF #2 in (what I now know to be) VF condition. Kept flipping and I think my heart DID stop when I saw the next book: FF #1, again in VF shape.

     

    I made sure no one else saw the books, and I quietly and calmly asked the guy what he wanted for them. He obviously knew they were worth something, but had no idea how much, because he said $50. I asked him, "each?!", and he said "for both". I gave $50 cash and got the heck out of there as fast as possible!

     

    Still got them?

  2. Can someone fill me in on what happened to gilberto? I did a big trade with him last year and it went off ok.....just curious what happened after that to get him in trouble?? (shrug)
    Several people paid for books that they never recieved.

     

    Ouch! :tonofbricks: I was insistent he send me ALL the books involved in our trade before I would ship him anything back. Good thing! :whistle:

     

    hm

    I wonder if the books he got in the trades is the ones he "sold" to the members.
