It does however expose one's enormous amount of free time.

 

Really? 40,000 posts in 10 years = 4,000 posts a year = 11 or so posts a day.

 

Not all that much free time required.

 

 

If you just use emoticons it is easy to do 11 posts a minute.

 

That's what greggy does

That's not what your listing said. You are purposefully deceiving people. I wonder if you've always been this way and I jus never noticed it. I used to think you were a boardie with integrity. Now I don't see any. Purposefully overgrazing and now outright lying.

He did something similar with his Alpha Flight #17 sale. Described it as "First appearance of Big Hero Six" in big bold copy, and then formatted less prominently in the paragraph following it "by their creators," as if the first work by a creative team that's not an actual first appearance is something that collectors care about. Clearly intended to deceive people into thinking that it was the first appearance of Big Hero Six.

 

Most people know what they are buying, you're trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill. You can't do anything about who writes what on their auctions, the buyer needs to understand what they are buying. It really has no effect on you on, so why not just worry about yourself? I'm not in Divad's corner since i've had beef with him in the past but people on here are splitting hairs on his product descriptions about what is "exactly correct to a tee" needs to stop, try going outside for a walk, get some exercise since I know most of you people could use it.

 

Maybe the buyer should be cognizant of what they're buying, but that doesn't absolve his responsibility. How would you feel if a parent or relative of yours got fleeced from a greasy salesman? What he's doing is dishonest, plain and simple.

 

Again, it doesn't relate to you. eBay does have a return policy and even some sellers don't know everything. I think you guys are just tired of seeing him post his auction results in the thread, well...I'm tired of reading off topic nonsense like this in the thread.

 

Maybe you should call the eBay police and tell them you don't agree with his comic descriptions, besides, most people don't even read them anyway, they just hit the BIN/Bid button. If the buyer buys it and is happy with it, then who is he hurting? You? The collector sitting on his over weight rear end at the comic store playing magic cards with teenagers? The guy down the street?

 

Ever think the buyer knows and actually wants the issue? Maybe he's trying to put an Alpha Flight run together? Maybe he's trying to grab all the Big Hero 6 appearances...You're not the buyer and you're not a mind reader and that goes for anyone complaining about someone's auction trying to sell a book, you don't know the buyer's intent. Plain and simple.

 

And to answer your question about my parents or one of my relatives being taken advantage of "greasy salesman" I'd laugh at them for being so stupid and not doing your research beforehand.

 

I work in the trading division of an investment firm of 39 billion AUM, I couldn't care less about a guy making $10-15 on a comic book. What's he doing is sleazy, if you want to hang out with this clown be my guest.

 

I have to be honest here bud, other than the grammar police nothing irks me more than those who brag about their job in investments or stocks in a comic book forum.

 

That's funny, because nothing irks me more than others telling people what irks them on a comic book forum

 

Nothing irks me more than telling people who tell others they irk them about their irking and when it irks...wait...

 

 

To be fair, what really irks me is when noobs try to tell other people on here how to act....but I didn't want to be mean to the n00b.

 

Damn newbs!

I did not know about the release dates, as you explained, , thanks for the low down.

 

...however, that said, I think an arguement can be justly made for AF 17 being the 1st app of Big Hero 6.

 

The cover of AF # 17 , as you likely know, has a caption, boldly stating "Introducing Big Hero 6"....

 

I have not read AF # 17 nor have I read Sunfire & Big Hero 6 # 1 or # 2 but it sounds like, story continuity wise, their first story was told in AF 17, then the events in Sunfire and Big Hero 6 # 1, and 2 directly followed the events in AF 17.

 

Have you read the books?

 

It sounds like the only reason AF 17 would not be considered their 1st app is because there was a delay in the publishing date.

 

Story continuity is the definitive word though, I believe...and not an error made in publishing dates so I am inclined to rationally think that AF 17 is their true first app.

The Cliff's Notes version of the discussion of the first appearance of Big Hero Six from the thread dedicated to that group:

 

The creative team of Alpha Flight had an idea for a bunch of new characters to appear in that book a few issues down the line.

 

The higher-ups in editorial liked the idea and decided they wanted to do a mini-series with the characters.

 

The creative team of Alpha Flight did not have time in their schedules to work on the mini-series, so the book was given to another creative team.

 

The first few issues of Sunfire & Big Hero Six were published.

 

Later, the issues of Alpha Flight (the issue with the cameo and the full appearance) were published that included those characters, on time, without delays, when those issues were intended to be released according to the publishing schedule, after Sunfire & Big Hero Six.

 

Years pass during which no one cares about the characters and Disney buys Marvel.

 

Disney announces the Big Hero Six movie.

 

A thread starts here that includes a discussion of the first appearance.

 

Divad sells an issue of Alpha Flight with a description that clearly designed to inflate the importance of the issue.

Nah, I will try and get to 1,000 posts the old fashion way, GLWTS posts and lots and lots of passive aggressive posts

In regards to Big Hero 6 (which is really modern)

 

Books went up pre movie hype. Movie came out books have stalled. Prices will come down but I'm not too certain that it will go back up again. Disney doesn't really do sequels for animated films. Most go direct to home video or never made at all. Frozen 2 is being made but as far as I can tell that is it.

 

Big Hero 6 didn't have the impact Frozen or Toy Story did. I wouldn't speculate on this book anymore...if you didn't already sell your copies I think you're left holding the bag.

My niece is a 7 year old Disney nut and has to have everything from the princess line to Wreck It Ralph to Frozen and whatever else there is. She didn't ask for any Big Hero 6 stuff for X-Mas so that's telling

As stated before, the time for speculation on either comic has passed. If you like the comic for yourself or your kids, buy it. If you want to sell one and can make ANY amount of profit, you should probably sell it now. The only that MIGHT still happen is a tv kids show.

I agree unless this picks up internationally and it might. I sold all my copies pre movie.

With a current domestic gross of over $191,000, 000 I think the property has done pretty darn well. You can buy Baymax t-shirts at target and they seem to be sold out everywhere this holiday season. I think some of you guys are underestimating BH6.

11,000 posts, 40,000 posts? Whatever the total may be it in no way illustrates a broad knowledge of comics.

 

That's true. Post count does not illustrate a broad knowledge of comics. A broad knowledge of comics illustrates a broad knowledge of comics.

 

However...

 

Having a high post count generally demonstrates participation, and regardless of who you are, or where you post, when you come into a new community as a newb, you learn the culture and earn the respect of the people who came before you prior to presuming to tell others how they should post.

 

It does however expose one's enormous amount of free time.

 

Really? 40,000 posts in 10 years = 4,000 posts a year = 11 or so posts a day.

 

Not all that much free time required.

 

 

 

 

I post maybe once a day and have been for a couple years, that hardly qualifies me a new. 11 posts a day is cool but if you want to post in a meaningful way that amount of posts takes up too much time. To be fair it takes about ten minutes to learn the culture here and respecting people just because they have posted a lot makes no sense but I will not dribble on and on because inevitably I will get someone complaining that this is a copper heating up thread and that's fair.

 

Several points: Newbness is a state of mind. One can be a member here for a decade, and still be a newb. One can be here for a month, and they are no longer a newb. It all depends on personality and outlook.

 

Who decides what posts are "meaningful"? The person posting. 1,000 words can be meaningless noise, while a single emoticon can convey a world of meaning.

 

It takes much more than "10 minutes" to learn the culture here. I didn't say anything about respecting someone because they post a lot, but even in that, there's still a measure of respect accorded those who have "come before us", until proven otherwise.

 

That's why a Kevin76 gets a measure of respect: he's been here a long time. He's a complete dangleberry, but he's earned a level of leeway that newbs cannot, and should not, expect. Some people call it "that's just the way so and so is"...so be it. It's still a measure of acknowledgement.
