uchiha101 Posted September 2, 2016 Author Share Posted September 2, 2016 In one hand, out the other. You aren't going to be leaving your mom's basement anytime soon. This reminds me of gambling. Real life story... "Hey I won 10k at the casino over the last 10 days!" "How much did you spend this month?" "25k" Yeah, excatly I see well I didn't do that badly but I see what you mean.

uchiha101 Posted September 2, 2016 Author Share Posted September 2, 2016 .. hang on a minute .. I think everyone (including Gabe) is missing the elephant in the room... Gabe, ..... you said you weren't going to do any more deals until 2017? .. what are you doing? You say you listen to everyones advice .. and then do the opposite Every person here is trying to help you. Please take some sound advice. No that was about trading comics because I kept failing at it. You specifically said deals, Gabe. I don't remember saying that but I do know I need to sell off what I have. Gabe .... that was a massive discussion point ... and you don't remember saying that? Okay. Everyone was begging you to stay off making deals of any sort (because it really wasn't working for you). You relented and promised to not make any deals until 2017 (I think for a second there, you realised deals were a mistake for you). You haven't got the many years of experience behind you that a lot of people have here (in making successful deals). One relatively successful deal (with massive generosity from another boardie), does not a wheeler-dealer make. Can I somehow drum it into you that none of us are giving you bad advice .. we're actually trying to help you .. but .. does what Metal wrote above ring any bells for you? Does what he said ring any bells for me? No it doesn't and I'm slowly getting better at making deals and my comic debt is going down only 1100 more to go.

I went through a few posts back and it seems many were initially under the impression that Gabe gave up buying as well but promptly turned around and bought something, we all went nuts, then Gabe "clarified" that he was "done trading until 2017" and then there was more talk, something about gambling and welfare and then jobs searches and...Yeah. Hmm well I'll go back and read back a few pages to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm done drinking until 2017, I need to get my head straight and get clean. Oh I should have clarified, I'm done drinking WATER until 2017. Everything else is still on the table. Is that what it sounded like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semicentennial Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Today's thoughts I'll bump my asm 300 as I've gotten interest in it I'll stop trades till 2017 I need to get my money back from that trade it's bugging me Trades update I will not do trades till 2017, I repeat no trading for me till 2017!!! Unless he mentions "no deals till 2017" elsewhere, he does say "no trades til 2017." I still don't think the kid will learn since he is making sales from generous forum members.

Red84 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Recent Purchases Man thing 2 Marvel Premiere 1 ASM 129 CGC 8.5 STOP BUYING!!!! Why would you buy a Man Thing 2? You should be saving your money, not trying to flip expensive comics. We have all told you this. Where did you get the ASM 129? That is an expensive book to be buying when you have no savings and almost no income. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AND he'll be building up his credit score at the same time, so it's a win-win! How else would one tackle $1,100 in debt other than buying a $1,000+ comicbook?

I think there's an addiction or some kind of delusion going on. There is so much GOLD in this thread regarding advice from professionals who've done this for years upon years, and even decades upon decades. People who've given advice in this thread have seen success and failure and I really don't think there is ANY person who HAS succeeded, either as a professional dealer or as a private small-seller, who would agree with the relentless actions the OP has been taking, especially in the last year or two regarding comic "deals/trades/flips" whatever and even moreso considering his particularly tenuous financial and personal situations and history. All the incredibly wise, deeply-experienced and FREE advice from experts and amateurs alike in this thread just seem to be snowballs thrown at the sun. I just don't get it other than to say, this is an addiction and we're trying to talk someone out of it from a thousand miles away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan510 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 If this is true, it's a really bad road to go down. Trying to dig yourself out of debt by going into more debt is never a good idea. Just ask Chip how that worked out for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
