It's a single apostrophe in YOU'RE. :troll:

Does this mean I might actually get back a few pennies on the dollar for my 2 long boxes of pre unity Valiants?!? :wishluck:

I will literally give you a few pennies for each pre-Unity Valiant comic you have. (thumbs u

 

So I'm not getting the $125 I paid for Harbinger 1?!? Not even the $100-125 I paid for each of the Gold 0 or #1 issues??? The guy at the LCS told me they were a " great investment" so I assume their value has doubled or tripled right? :whee:

 

I sold a NM Harbinger 1 on eBay last week for $100. I sold a VF for $50 the week before that.

 

Before you ridicule, you may want to inform yourself. :baiting:

 

Oh my god! I can't believe I'm having to argue that Valiants have plummeted in value since their peaks! :facepalm:

 

Those same Harbingers were going for absolute minimum double to TRIPLE that and more 20 years ago! What the hell are you guys arguing?!? Would you want a stock that you bought in 1992 for $150 to be worth $50 now???

 

Lighten up Francis! I was joking around and exaggerating :facepalm:

 

Not by much though! Jesus Christ you guys are touchy! This is CG not some Modern thread you created titled "I love my Valiants and will defend them to the death!" :baiting:

 

I'm seeing a common denominator in many of the threads you post in and it's you. I once suggested jokingly that you switch to decaf. Do that and also lay off the amphetamines. :baiting:

+1

I agree that posting how much something someone likes/collects or the manner in which they do so sucks or is wrong is bound to upset people. You may only intend it as a joke but sarcasm doesn't always translate well through a post on a message board. Rather than typing whatever comes to mind and hitting "Submit" you might want to read through your post to determine if the point you're trying to make comes across the way you're intending it to. No one like to be told that what they enjoy is stupid/worthless/sucks.

 

True, but i NEVER said they were worthless, stupid or Valiant sucks. What i said is they are worth FAR less than at their height. How anyone is arguing against that is beyond me. Some of the people getting upset said their self that Rai 4 is now a $15-20 book. I'm sure they'll now say that even at its height, it never sold for more than $5 but that was a absolute minimum $60,$80, $100 book at its height. 20 years later, its worth 1/4 of that!

 

The freaking OP STARTED this thread with a title implying the fact that they are going for decent prices now means the sky is falling for gods sake! If he's going to cry himself to sleep everytime someone says Valiants arent worth nearly what they used to be, he's in for a LOT of sleepless nights!

 

Again, this is COMICS GENERAL, not some thread he started in Modern about how much he loves his Valiants that i crapped in. It never occurred to me based on the TITLE OF HIS OWN THREAD that he would throw a hissy fit from me joking that they're worth a 1/4 of what i paid for them now ???

I'm not seeing anything you posted in this thread out of line.

 

No, but he seems to say it TO THE EXTREME AND ON FULL VOLUME AS IF HE'S DRANK 13 MOUNTAIN DEWS, 9 CUPS OF ESPRESSO, AND 26 RED BULLS!!!!!!

 

I get it, Sufunk is intense. However, he should realize that his posting style gets under the skin of some people. We are seeing it in this very thread, as well as others.

 

 

Honestly, i really could care less if it gets under the skin of people. What some people on the internet i'll never meet think about my posting style is as far down the list of what i care about as it can get. If the way i post rubs you the wrong way, either ignore me or flame on, either one, i really dont care. Theres plenty of people that have zero problem with how i post so if it annoys you, so be it, thats what the ignore function is for (thumbs u

 

I get it now. It's okay for YOU to say that you don't care about something but if someone else says they don't care about... let's say pedigrees, then they're ignorant, out of line or just plain wrong. Glad I'm up to speed now.

 

Now excuse me while I go shop the internet for pedigree Avengers books I can ruin by subbing them for Signature Series. :foryou:

 

How bout you link a quote where i EVER said anyone is ignorant because of what they collect. ANY, EVER!

 

I said i dont like SS and dont think they should be done to Pedigrees, nothing else. Much like the OP though, that got your panties so twisted you couldnt think or read straight (thumbs u

 

Practically every single day someoe on here says collecting uber HG or Pedigrees and paying nosebleed prices for them is stupid. I've never ONCE called any of those people ignorant. Not once.

 

Prove me wrong with a link of me doing that dummy :taptaptap:

 

btw, my 7 year old can properly use the quote feature, want me to have him show you how? lol

IT WAS A JOKE!!!!!

 

Your taking it literally then and STILL taking it literally now is your HISSY FIT! :facepalm:

 

The point was they arent worth nearly as much now as they were at their height. Realax and take a chill pill dude! WERD! (thumbs u

 

Ok, this is not to be taken literally... again, are you ready?

 

Does your English teacher know that you don't know how to use "you're", spell "relax", or that you're posting during her class?

 

:roflmao: <<< (Not literally roflmao.) (:

 

(thumbs u

 

Sorry, was always a math guy not an English major which is how i know Valiant prices are a joke compared to what they were no matter how much you love them :foryou:

What was your comment? That 90-95% of ALL comics have suffered a meteoric drop in prices???

 

Is that what you want a response to? If it is, hmmmm, let me see, off the top of my head, In the early 90's I bought a 9.8 Iron Fist 14 for $120, A 9.2 Hulk 181 for $300, like 25 ASM's from 95-130 in 9.2-9.6 for $20 each, a 9.6 Iron Man 55 for $30, shall i continue??? :facepalm:

 

Oh, and a 8.5 X-men 1 for $3000. Yeah, "meteric" drops in those values. Good call (thumbs u

Really? Name calling? Did you learn that from your 7 year old? Look at your own post, the quote feature didn't work there either.

I dont know what state you live in but taking those kind of "liberties" with a dog is a crime in Florida so you may wanna check your local statutes before you fantasize any further :baiting:
