From what I hear, '05 is the worst class, and '08 is #1.

[Dr. Balls]

Soon after I joined the boards another new member joined and more or less broke every sales forum commenting rule. He posted opinions about grades and pricing in many threads and, if I recall correctly, dropped a takeit on a 5 figure book and then edited the post with a "JK LOLOL". The member got hazed harshly and severely for these actions and began getting defensive. Myself and a couple other members PMed him, pointed out some of the rules and generally accepted standards for posting etiquette, the boardie calmed down and now he is one of the more prominent high value dealers on this board.

 

I remember that - and yes, he is a great boardie.

To be fair, every year has a memorable swindler. Class of 2013 has the Neeley's.

Here's my 2 cents.

 

The boards don't need a sales thread desperado and there are a growing number of members who believe they need to strap on a six shooter.

 

Outside of pure, unadulterated fraud, keep your opinions about pricing, grading or any other facet of someone else's sales thread to yourself. You're knowledge of GPA or past Ebay sales does not make you the arbiter of pricing. Unless you work for CGC grading for a living, and even then, it's your subjective idea of how a book should be graded. Thread krapping in someone's sales thread doesn't make you a hero.

 

If someone is not following the forum guidelines notify a moderator and allow them to do their job.

 

This is what you get when you have a bunch of grown men, with little personal drama who read hero comics. No shortage of the white knight syndrome. Mark1 seems to be on a roll. Most sales threads I open he is the 2nd post pointing out something. Never seems to have an interest in the book for sale.

I would, but one of my New Years resolutions was to hold grudges from the previous year

If Logan didn't post like this you'd never hear from him. My post count is excited to accommodate him.

Yup. A few here are getting completely out of hand, and becoming a bigger problem than the azz hat sellers they're fired up about.

Just saw that. And from a member who's been around since 2005.

Well, 2005 was THE worst year for newbs. Anyone who joined up that year, you can pretty much ignore their opinion.

 

 

 

Damn. Suddenly it all falls into place.

I'd just like to jump on the quote train. It's like Borges meets Inception in here.

[skypinkblu]

I happen to think the both of you are really funny, but ...this troll thing, ...not so much...

 

 

So count to 11 before you post to each other...

[N/A]

11? You may be asking just a little too much from my partner in crime.

Maybe if I were a thief you and what's his name would be nicer to me

OK, as long as I'm not asking too much from YOU, Jeff... :

 

I'm sure it will work out fine, he can use an abacus;)

 

And on that note, I'm going to give myself a time out here, since I doubt either of you will agree to stand in a corner without TV for 15 minutes;)

 

[comix4fun]

hero

 

 

That's a new one!!

 

We've had sonny, champ, big boy, sir, pal, buddy, and now "hero".

 

Have I missed any, skippy?

I don't recall ever being nice to a thief.

 

Are you misinterpreting again?
