I don't know anything about his racist past but his reports are full of errors and when you try and let him know he rips the corrections.

 

Could you be more specific about the errors you found? My understanding was that Larry compiled information from a variety of sources including prior sales as well as how things were doing in his own store.....he then configured that into a list of things he believed in his opinion were worthy of watching or purchasing. I'm uncertain how that final opinion could be erroneous.

 

Sort of like when we speculate here....some picks are wrong, others are right....but that hardly makes them errors of any kind. Not defending Larry, just curious what you found that was so off that it constitutes an error.

 

Ya, to me, it seemed Lawrence's posts were more centered on what was selling at his store, with a bit of speculation thrown into the mix. And not necessarily what was getting big bucks, but more what was selling the most, or selling the quickest. (i.e. Selling tones of books at $6 per issue, or selling 30 of the same back issue in a week).

 

 

 

Yeppers, larry made it quite clear at the start of every report that the info was based on his sales and that other retailers would likely see differing results.

 

he was giving the benefit of his educated guesses. if you were betting your kids' college fund on his picks you are indeed a person_having_a_hard_time_understanding_my_point.

 

I don't blame him for not posting them anymore.

MrWeen was talking about actual errors in the report, not calling out Larry for making erroneous reports on books that were heating up when they weren't.

 

For example, Larry lists Batman Beyond Unlimited #3 as the first appearance of Luke Fox. His first appearance was in the digital comic Batman Beyond #3, which saw print for the first time as Batman Beyond Unlimited #2, not #3. Obviously easy to make that mistake.

I would get just as pissed at my investment advisor if his info was misleading then uncorrected and then if he called me a dink for cluing him in on his own mistakes he would no longer be advising me of anything.

 

Are you sending Larry 4% of the value of every comic you buy, trade, or sell, like you pay your investment adviser?

 

Hint: STFU.

 

 

Dude not called for!

 

And if larry was my adviser, he would have been fired or maybe never even hired.

Thank you.

Mistakes pointed out can be fixed and information can actually be updated for someone who spends 4 hours a week on it.

 

If you cannot see genuine effort with each weeks updates you just might be...

well...

 

Ignorant.

 

You really have an huge puffed up sense of self worth.

 

I am not sure why some of you people stand up for this this this....... but it just amazes me.

 

The only thing he really brings to this forum is what he sells at his store. Which could have some useful information, but it's just 1 store.
