Logan510 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Comics sold DC presents 26 At the risk of bruising my "out" status, it would be enlightening if you provided the details of your transactions (i.e. purchase price, fees, selling price at the very least). Sure I got it for free and sold it for 110 usd and yes that's all after fees as it was sold at my lcs Finally, a book you didn't overpay for That's enough money to buy another Darth Vader #3 9.8 I have a couple other comics I got for free so I'll be cosigning those as well. Just listed one of my copies on ebay. I can even drive it to the LCS for you hey - there is a P@X one listed for less than half of yours..... And if that one sells (or he bumps the price up) my book is worth $500 then right cause thats the cheapest copy right? right? I thought about pricing it like this. Regular cover selling for $70 Variant is 1:25 which means variant cover should be 25x more than regular right? there is another one - that I can get for $5 cheaper than yours (with shipping).... The Darth Vader #3? That book is gonna pop. Right after the big NYCC announcement! Trailer be dropping in Dec yo. FCBD 4 life Yes, yes I know you don't believe me. Who says I don't believe you? I was looking at HG raw copies on eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 The phrase that keeps getting repeated over and over that's killing me is "I'm working on that". This refers to any area Gabe feels he has a weakness in and is taking steps to improve. The problem is: there is never any detail provided for HOW he's "working on that". Good goals are ALWAYS measurable. You should be able to say "yes I accomplished this because" or "no I didn't accomplish this because". Black and white. It's not enough to say "I'm working on math/business/emotions/hygiene". What are the exact steps you're taking to work on these areas? I am working on it and since hygiene is something that comes up often I'll address it. I trim my nails more often and I shower more and shave more. My emotions and impulses: I already said that I know look at gpa, triple check before I buy and see if I can get a better deal. QUANTIFY YOUR GOALS!!! Don't say "I'll trim my nails more". Say "I'll trim my nails every Monday and Thursday". That way, you can look back after a month and say "yes I definitely made my goal" or "no I didn't make my goal". See the difference? The phrase "I'm working on emotions" means nothing. Which specific emotions are you working on and what exactly are you doing to improve them? In a month's time, how can you tell if you've improved or not? Again, make it quantifiable. Ok I'm working on my emotions of impulses and desperation. I'm improving them but taking a deep breath if I get excited, count to 10 and look at it again Then I check gpa to see if it's a good deal and if I see if I can buy it anywhere else for a better price Finally after I check again to make sure that it's the right comic and grade I buy it. Someone else is going to have to field this for me. I have no words. Yes it's not how you would do things but it how I do things. Please trust me when I say it's not just me. Do a google search for "S.M.A.R.T criteria" as it pertains to setting goals and tell me honestly if your "goals" meet the criteria outlined. You'd be amazed at how effective it can be to structure your goals well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But after everything would be said and done I would not only waste my time but money as well since I would be paying close to what that other copy if going for and that's saying that it's the exact grade they gave it.
