Only work with pleasant sellers.

The surly ones are difficult to enjoy when you're trying to have fun.

 

(thumbs u + a gazillion.

 

Dale Roberts and The Bunky Brothers are two operations that I enjoy being around. Those guys are awesome.

 

How does one avoid a bad seller? Anyway to spot 'em prior to interacting? :popcorn:

 

hm My suggestion would be to walk-through the dealers room with a priest trained in exorcising demons. Once given the all clear, you're set! (thumbs u

 

I thought a divining rod was a better choice.

I'm still confused about the fanboy thing. We're all fans of comics and certain writers & artists and such.

 

So what exactly is a fanboy? From what I'm hearing they're evil and I should look out for them. I have a family to protect!

 

It's a generic pejorative term that is interchangeable with Nerd or Geek. Chief characteristic of said subgroup is the delusional belief that whoever they are obsessed with can do no wrong creatively, and consider challenges about their idol's genius to be transgressive.

That only works if you're looking for dealers with water damaged books. (shrug)

lol Yep. Speaking of the English you have to check out this show in the UK, Misfits. The first couple episodes are decent, but it really gets good after that. It's on Hulu.com

 

Are you going to be at NYCC? If so it'd be cool to see you there.
