Must have missed it! I'll update the list. (thumbs u

[Scturo]

Great pick up, great stories. I thought someone took the Godzilla bank. Was I imagining that?

This thread is brutal. Hope you feel better, Manicnerd.

Seriously, why do you keep coming back?

 

To voice an opinion. This IS in CG, is it not? And perhaps more importantly, to wish a fellow boardie luck in his battle.

 

Why single me out? It was a tiny post in a sea of noise.

I single you out because you have repeatedly bashed this thread and have stated clearly that I rule it with "righteous indignation." You said right above - "this thread is brutal."

 

Are you f'n kidding me? I don't get what anyone thinks that I get from this thread other than a headache. I try to appease any many people as I can. I try to be considerate when people Pm me for advise and suggestions. CAHokie is right and it has led to between us which sucks. 1Cool is right that he cared a lot about this thread and has PMed me with about 10,000 suggestions and I had to threaten a restraining order against him!

 

I don’t think at all this was particularly directed at you, Harvey. This thread has been brutal, indeed…

But this is unrelated with the effort you put in setting it up and laying down the rules as we go. You have got to keep separate the specific, always legitimate, criticism to certain behaviors, and the supposed negative attitude to the thread or to your efforts in making it work. They are two separate things.

 

You are probably influenced by the fact bb8 criticized you personally for deriding Meeklo’s offer in public. But he was righ. You should acknowledge such criticism is not dimishing your effort and good work whatsoever, they are legitimate observations – to which degree you take them it is up to you.

That's a sweet double cover. Gotta be some double cover collectors lounging about...

RAK Time!

 

I got these while I was at a basketball camp in Arizona during high school. I always thought it would be cool to mount them in frame but never did. My crazy cat knocked over a water bottle on my desk and these unfortunately got a little wet but the sigs did not run. Hopefully there is a Sun's fan or basketball fan that will want them.

My brother (Dan) got the nickname Thunder Dan after that trip. The Suns were a cool group of guys.

Anyone think I should scrap my offer and start over?

Maybe you could just re-combine it in more options?

The problem I have with mixed offers is that one interested in Marvel might not be interested in DC and so on…

[kav]

What if I offered 10 thor SA books instead of 4 as the offer?

Unfortunately I think you just have to hit on the right set of books someone want. Offer up a couple of option if you can.

 

We really don't want people putting out request do we.

[1Cool]

Since you asked for opinions. I think lower grade Silver-Age non-key issues are going to be a tough sell. I think most collectors on the boards have boxes and boxes of lower grade Bronze / Silver-Age books.

[01TheDude]

i'm listening

[jsilverjanet]

My only advice is try to group as many similar genres/titles in one offer and make the other stuff another option

 

if you combine a lot of random books it doesn't make the offer any more desirable and probably makes you give up many more books that may not interest the taker.

 

I think think too many random titles may hurt more than help.

 

That's just my opinion.

 

 

[jsilverjanet]

I also think having just one title/genre also hurts.

 

If I posted 5 Daredevil books and added 5 more and the offer isn't taken, my next step would not be add 5 more Daredevil books, it would be offer a different title etc

 

again just my opinion

Here is Kav's artwork that showed up today
