So let me get this straight...

Tommy Voltage comes onto a message board and tells whoever reads it that this particular shop is awful in essence.

Larry, who is a retailer and I would think defends other retailers as he should basically calls out this poster and says he will share those statements with that LCS, who this just in runs a business with employees and people that count on employment, but Tommy did nothing wrong?

 

To think anyone would agree with Tommy Voltage's statement and not think there would be repercussions is laughable.

 

He offered his opinion on a LCS. Big deal?

 

It's not what you say, it's how you say it.

 

That wasn't the argument. The beef was apparently that someone said a shop was "awful". Who cares?

 

There's this carpet shop in the UK called Carpet Right. AWFUL. I got my living room carpet from them and I reckon a monkey could have fitted it better. Loads of wrinkles up by the bay window. Is everyone offended yet? Google for their details so you can let them know what I think of their shop because they'll really care. And posting your opinion of a shop is slander*.

 

*Obviously it isn't and not just cos slander involves the spoken word, not written.

 

 

 

But this isn't a carpet forum. This is a comic book forum where professional comic book dealers are sometimes bad mouthed by other posters. Sometimes the criticism is fair and well argued, often it is ignorant, unfounded and malicious, and therefore unfairly damaging to someone's professional reputation. If you don't see the distinction then maybe you Are just another noob.

 

what do you mean this isn't a carpet forum??

 

Are you suggesting that if I said the above in a carpet forum (they must exist, it's the internet) then it'd be normal for someone to post that they were gonna grass me up to Carpet Right for being a dissatisified customer?

 

Man, this forum.

He can do whatever he wants. He's the INFAMOUS Larry. Isn't that what he calls himself?

 

Reason they don't have them on the shelf. http://www.ebay.com/sch/m.html?_odkw=&item=140943758605&pt=US_Comic_Books&_osacat=0&hash=item20d0e7150d&_ssn=comic-madness&_trksid=p2046732.m570.l1313.TR6.TRC1&_nkw=phantom+variants&_sacat=0&_from=R40

 

Right on eBay.

 

I go to Wade's a few times a week and his Phantom variants are COVER PRICE until the next issue comes out. That means you have a whole month to get your Revival Phantoms.

Of course he's going to sell some on ebay to people who can't get them. Aren't you??

Hell, at least it's not the Ghost Variant shop in Philly that NO variant is cover price ever. See they still have a stack of WD 101 Ghosts for $20 a pop they've had since the day it came out.

Wade's basement is a treasure trove the couple times a year he opens it up and blows out the books for a buck and unlike some shops he doesn't say "Can't let you have those Walking Dead's #53-70 for a buck even though they were in my buck area."

Great shop, great people

 

I've seen a Phantom variant on the shelf once. And that was #6 when they had all of them after asking.

 

The original argument was the shop is disgusting. Look at the indie section. It is trashed. Chew is on the bottom shelf bent in half. Saga is priced different in every box. Yes they have stuff and you can find what you want eventually, but it is dirty. So saying most of the shipments won't be NM like everyone wants is the correct thing. Oh and the eBay box? It's just a bunch of shipping boxes behind the counter that they stack stuff in. Buy from their eBay if you want, but whatever. I won't give anyone a heads up again.

Just do what I do and use the ignore user function, it's great.

 

 

Batman Adventures 12 continues to sell at higher prices. Yes I know the book is 20 years old and not exactly readily available, but it can be found for cheap in back issue stock both online and in your lcs.

In what world?!? It has been YEARS since I found one anywhere that would be considered moderately cheap .

The shop definitely is gross. I'm afraid that a rat will come running out when moving something. The Image section is terrible. Finding a NM copy from there would be impossible. The variant pricing varies from what I've seen. I've been to alot of shops, and this one is close to the bottom of my list.

Wow. Kudos to you!

What a steal for a BA12. If Harley ever makes it into a movie, the book will skyrocket!

Goodness,not more people seeing Larry for what he is....

 

I warned you all so,so many times.

 

Stop buying his "helping the struggling artist products" BS and he goes away.

 

It's that easy.

 

 

I would now like to invite all Larry's butt-kissers to pile on. My care factor is especially low at the moment, so please, don't hold back.

 

Any that agree with Voltage,Vader, Whizzer and myself, feel free to counter-argue.

I will shout "IN BEFORE THE LOCK" and you chaps, in your best Henry V accent utter "cry havoc - and let slip the dogs of war" and engage in witty banter.

Have at it fellows, have at it.

 

My money is on Tommy Voltage and crew. (thumbs u (thumbs u

 

 

WTF are you talking about? I disagree with TommyVoltage about EVERYTHING. Being put on the probie list must have rotted your brain.

 

 

Temper Temper noobie.......

And for the record,I have never been on the probie list.

Sometimes it's just too easy.
