Hey Andrew, Don't dwell on them, you won't get any sleep. Focus on all the good that will come from the sacrifice!

 

And I'm with Bill, I have sold WAY too many great books (Like that tec Joker Bill just bought from me... :frustrated:) Maybe he'll still have it at pons-con 2009....

I can't regret "any" sale, because in each instance there was a reason I needed to sell...so, the ends, had to of justified the means, or I would still be in possession....

These is one tough book and a nice grade to price. WHY did I sell?

I think you graded it a 7.5 because you're a fair and honest grader. I used to regret selling certain books, until I realised that they were only pieces of decaying paper that I had already enjoyed and it was time to give someone else a chance. I like selling to collectors who will cherish a book even more than I do. There's onlt one book I will never sell and that's a Pep 32 that I owned as kid and re-aquired 9 years ago.

Andrew, those were two NICE copies of a couple tougher issues, but I really like & agree with what BH had to say about the matter. (thumbs u

I've sold so many great books-some within weeks after buying them-that I could fill a fifty page thread with the stories. But there was always a good reason to sell, and in most cases, I don't regret the decision at all. But I still wish I had some of the great Batman and Detectives I used to own. :(

You sold these so you could sleep at night without waking up at every creak in the house. Those are extra creepy! :o

well, since it looks like you need some help rationalizing it, i'd say the first was both ratty and pimply and needed to be shucked, and on the second one you prefer brunettes? hope i've given you some valuable coping skills here.
