Stupid search manipulation is frowned upon. How is she going to sell random Walking Dead issues w/o getting some unintended interest from people searching for WD 19, 27, etc. Moreover, it's not like its an unrelated book or even a different book. I have no problem with that listing and encouraged her to make it and to take more photos.

Yes. She's a new boardie. Check a page or two back for a link to one of her intro posts. Though this thread was recently scrubbed because her and someone else totally derailed the thread.

 

Side boob (and british teeth :sick: ) aside, someone should tell her that search manipulation is frowned upon here :censored::sumo:

 

"Walking Dead #74 1st Print CGC 9.8 NM/M White Pages 1 2 16 19 27 33 48 92 100"

 

(tsk)

 

Yeah I sent a friendly warning out telling her she needs to get rid of the search spam. She hasn't yet I see, I will call eBay tonight when I get home from work and have them kill all of her auctions with that in the title. If I get a certain female eBay rep that I am hoping answers the Top Seller/Power Rated Seller line she will probably not only kill all the auctions, but overreact at the pictures and suspend the eBay account also.

 

Also color me not surprised that Nico thinks it is perfectly fine to break this eBay rule. I am willing to bet if one of us opened up with that it is perfectly cool for her to be doing this he would have fired back with how horribly wrong it is and how wrong we are. Nico is an interesting character.

Can it be changed now that there's bids?

More morning WD porn for everyone:

 

wd2622.jpg

 

I love Charlie's work! Nice find. Should be interesting to see this scene recreated in Season 3 of the TV series. In the teaser promo for this season, there was a brief half-second shot of a helicopter crashing.

 

On another note: I'm sorry if my eBay selling practices irritate anyone on here. I'm not looking for absolution, but feel it is only fair that if someone is going to call me out, I have a right to respond.

 

That being said, I know it was a stupid move to save time and use the same image of me holding the #25 slab for all 48 auctions. It was pointed out by some very helpful members of this forum and I quickly tried to rectify it. Unfortunately, because bids had already been made, I could not remove the original photo that appears in the listing. But I did my best to explain that in the description and include an updated photo there and in the gallery.

 

For those that didn't have bids, that I was able to relist, I did include those additional numbers (1 2 16 19 27 33 48 92 100) in the new title. I did this mainly because I felt I'd lost a lot of potential buyers through the confusion caused by mistake #1 (see above). In all honesty, I do or did have all of those issues up for sale at one time. The only one I didn't is the #1, which I decided to keep for sentimental reasons. If you don't agree with me using this approach, that's fine. But I'm selling these to make money, not appease any of you.

 

I think it's a bit of a move, brendanb438, that you feel it necessary to attempt to get a 'female' employee of eBay to "not only kill all the auctions, but overreact at the pictures and suspend the eBay account also." Grade A person_who_is_obnoxiously_self-impressed-baggery in my book.

 

Also, I show no 'friendly warning' from you via a PM here, comments on my thread, or in my eBay messages. So unless you included it in a message to me buried under a pile of "ZOMG! SHO M3 UR B00813S!!!!11!! PLEEZ!" I didn't see it among the 400 similar messages.

 

And honestly, your reaction goes to the extreme. Which in my experience is an indication of some deeper underlying issues. Do you hate women in general? Or just ones with large breasts? Do you envy my WD collection? Or is it that you wish you had someone this pretty willing to pose with your auction items?

 

Any way, I can't even remove the "1 2 16 19 27 33 48 92 100" from the 7 auctions I have left that contain that in the listing title. I just checked.

 

So brendanb438, if you feel it's necessary to express your displeasure by reacting in such a vindictive way, go ahead. Just understand the unintended consequences of your actions.

 

I came here for help from people who I felt shared a common interest, and might be looking to fill holes in there collection. And many have been nice and helped me out. But it's people like you that remind me why I keep out of forums, and would rather spend my time interacting with reasonable adults who don't fly into a "Nerd Rage" at the slightest misstep.

It feels like way more. Though I guess when you think about it 22-23 pages per book and we're up to 103 issues 75 isn't a whole heck of a lot.

 

One day I hope to step into the OA foray. I was seriously tempted to buy Rob's secret agent poyo sdcc cover at sdcc this year. Though 1k seemed a bit steep. That's like 2-3 decent WD pages right?

I'm done. I tried to pop that response in there, under an on topic comment about a previous post. I really didn't want to derail the conversation.

 

But unfortunately the party responsible for my momentary rant never tried to address his concerns via a PM or messages on eBay. I actually listen and respond to constructive feedback. Nico can testify to that.

 

Back to the topic at hand:

 

That's an enviable collection Jerry. I've decided when I am able to get back into collecting Walking Dead related work. I want it to only be OA. There is just something about knowing I'm the only one in possession of a particular piece of art that really gets me excited.

thanks for the very kind word :)

 

depends so much....like any commodity you can find a deal..or overpay if the seller gets the best of you....for $1000, and a bit of luck, you can get a couple of very nice pages...there are still some nice ones on www.petitpapier.be

 

I linked to another french site with a few nice cheaper pages (100-250 euro) the other day...search for galerie 9 art" and you will find it ..

 

I've also traded a lot of pages away and sold a few too...I am starting to focus more on only splash, older pages, and zombie pages..

 

I made a prediction a while ago that the WD OA market will cool off....I am seeing some signs of it...recently, for example, the 6 page mini story from 2005 didn''t even hit its reserve price of $450..

 

I also have some very nice pages on Ebay now, with albeit some higher BIN's and the offers I have gotten are really low..

 

I don't mind holding on to some of the nicer pages for the long haul...but I can say I don't buy many pages that I think I won't be able to flip later for the same general price..

 

I fully admit I overpaid on a few pages, but thats because I really liked them...and I don't think I'll sell them anytime soon...

 

2c:)

I think it would be more sad if he wished he had someone that pretty, and the best thing he could come up to do was to have her pose with auction items. hm
