Late... what's left?

[supapimp]

It's sad that this thread has more people buying each individual book than most selling threads have in total sold books.

Bryan, you should start a consignment service.

All,

 

I wanted to take a moment, before we conclude over the next two days, to say thank you to everyone for making this such a spectacular thread. I've had several questions via PM and otherwise asking why I'm selling so cheap, why list so many books, aren't you afraid people are flipping etc.

 

As I mentioned in the beginning, this is truly my way of saying thank you to all of you. I know that there's been some real competition for some books and that it may seem frustrating to some of you. While I'm definitely pleased by the amount of sales, I'm even more pleased that people are still able to obtain some genuine deals. So my pricing is very much intentional, and I do understand I could get more if I waited etc. Honestly, that's what I've always thought that this board selling should be about: sharing with other collectors (and yes, I'm okay if you make money from me). Now, while that has morphed and changed over time because of the level of transactions, I do think it's important that people feel like you can (sometimes) get a deal that you can't get from another dealer or just on the open market. That being said, some times a "deal" can mean simply making a book available to a limited number of people at FMV before everyone has access (I look at Richie Evans books and marvel that they're even offered for sale). I also hope my thread has not "taken over" or "monopolized" the buyers or this venue, such was not my intention, and I apologize if for some reason it's been perceived that way.

 

Even though everyone certainly has and should get whatever they can for a given book, I hope that people remember what these boards can and should be about. This marketplace has turned into more of a standard sales venue over the last year or so where people are offering books typically at the same prices you could get elsewhere -- and I have offered many books at going rates as well at times -- I think it's still one of the best fee free venues there is. I think there are plenty of generous sellers on the boards, but we don't have to squeeze every last penny -- if I got a good deal and can make some money on it, I am glad to pass it on to someone here and still leave some money on the table or give them a great deal. Perhaps I can afford to do that because I don't make my living from comics, but most of us here don't either.

 

With so much divisiveness over pressing, board sales etiquette and other controversies, I hope we remember that we are a community, and I believe this marketplace can and should be a place to demonstrate that. I know I've morphed into a part time dealer of sorts, but this thread is my way of giving back to the people who buy from me during the year, and to hopefully say, I hope that here in the marketplace, we aspire throughout the year to be generous with each other. The fund raisers for Nik and more recently silvers show how we can come together as a community and ultimately our differences on issues where it gets unnecessarily personal are set aside. While the marketplace has become more "strictly business" I still think we can take the opportunity to utilize and demonstrate our "community spirit" as well.

 

Thanks for reading my little pontification, but I did want to express my gratitude and motivations... and I hope to make this an annual event (I am on my second year).

 

I will begin tonight at 10:30 PM EST.

 

My best to all of you and thanks again,

 

Brian

+ 1 gajillion (yes I know it's not a number, it's a sentiment )

 

I have to agree with Brian. I am a complete newcomer and yes I have seen some drama and not so nice behaviors. However, by and large I have been incredibly impressed by the spirit of generosity this board has displayed. From fundraisers to caring ears for members fallen upon rough times, it really is impressive to see this community in action. Increasingly, I find myself sharing stories about all of you with my fiancee, and she too has been so impressed with this group. Thought Brian's post would be a mid-day deal, but found something just as good (sappy I know, but I got goosebumps reading it ). Happy holidays to everyone and my thanks as well for welcoming someone new to the clubhouse.
