Whenever I sell a book that is pieced together I fully disclose the book as such. As I did with the action 23 that was posted last week. What I do not do is trim, color touch or restore books. If there is primitave resto I can remove without causing harm, that I will do. In case of this s cap, I fully disclosed the piece was removed. I did miss the missing piece in the interior. There was a better way to notify me rather than post on my thread, but you've had a vendetta against me for some time it seems.

I would love to chat about it at comic art con if you're attending.

 

lolClearly you can't be trusted. I avoid your sales threads and I'm sure I'm not alone.

 

+1 (Lack of full disclosure from a greedy flipper who rationalizes away scenarios = Ignore)

 

Speaking of ignore, it's always interesting seeing who has you on ignore, especially when you don't know of any specific issue or problem between the two of you, and you've done business with before and met in person.

 

I suppose, however, when you take strong stands and make your opinion known, people will be bound to have problems with it.

 

Curiosity, of course, plays a part, because you want to know what it was that you said or did, but generally, you don't find out.

 

Oh well.

 

 

Pot meet kettle. (thumbs u

 

Oh, you want to do this publicly, then...?

 

I've got nothing to hide. How about you?

 

I'll answer anyone who wants to know why I've put them on ignore.

 

Do what exactly? You were an to me in Phoenix for reasons you've imagined and I decided it wasn't worth my time. Not much to it. (shrug)

I was looking forward to seeing you. :facepalm:

Ok, let's do this, then.

 

Last year, you and I spoke at the Amazing AZ con about pressing and other things. I encouraged you to buy an 8.5 slabbed Walking Dead #1, and said I would be willing to do the work on it. I told you I wasn't a "pump and dump" mill, that I couldn't press large scale numbers of modern books, but that I was happy to do higher value, better quality books, if I could have the time to do them properly. You agreed to let me do the work.

 

I did the work on it. It got a 9.6. That's a pretty phenomenal bump, all things considered.

 

I asked you to leave me kudos about it, because that is precisely the kind of hard data that folks like to see..."it was a CGC this, and became a CGC that."

 

You didn't.

 

Not that you were obligated to in any way, by any means; I've had plenty of customers who prefer to remain anonymous, but they at least give the courtesy of explaining that. You did not.

 

However, in the meantime, you sent me three more Walking Dead #1s to work on, which I was glad to do. However, after only having them a short time, you sent me a PM asking if I could have them by "such and such a convention" (which was, I believe, a week or two away at the time.)

 

I told you that I couldn't, and without further explanation, you asked me to ship the books back to you...which wouldn't have been a problem, if I hadn't very carefully explained to you, at great length and detail, that what I do isn't like what other pressers do, and it takes time...likely a few months, with all the other work I was doing.

 

That wasn't a problem with your first books. You gave them to me at Amazing AZ in Feb, and I gave them to the person you designated at the Phx Comicon at the end of May.

 

But, after having your other books, you pulled them, with no reason given other than the "can you have them by thus and such a date?" after I had already told you that I don't work that way, and which had been fine on the first go-round.

 

Ok, fine, not really that big a deal...until this:

 

I only saw it on Jaydog's side but I admit I don't read

RMA's posts.

 

http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=8959146

 

There are a lot of people who don't read my posts...no biggie. But you're going to post that, and then wonder why I don't want to interact with you...? Seriously...? I get a lot of mess on this board...again, no problem, I expect it, if not encourage it. But for someone who claims he was "looking forward to seeing me" to encourage people against me like that (whether you see it that way or not isn't relevant; people who don't like me were encouraged by your statement), and you have to wonder that I didn't want to deal with you?

 

Strange, odd standards, but pretty usual for Branget.

 

I had zero interest in interacting with you, and it is only unfortunate circumstance that you happened to be where I also happened to be. You would have thought you would have gotten the hint, but you didn't. I do not like, or appreciate, confrontation in person, and avoid it if I can. You had to make it awkward by continuing to try to engage me, when I made it beyond clear that I wasn't interested.

 

Then, as the pièce de résistance, you send me a PM while I'm out of state with essentially no internet access, then remove yourself before giving me the chance to explain all of this privately, because you immediately put me on ignore. You decided, without bothering to investigate, that I was just going to ignore your PM (which I still haven't red; I saw you removed yourself and put me on ignore, cutting off all communication, so there was no need.)

 

Finally, you call me a hypocrite publicly for not telling you why I'm ignoring you, when it should have been abundantly clear from this post in response to you back in November:

 

Since you admit you don't read what I post, should I not respond to yours? Serious question. Although, there's a bit of a catch-22, there, admittedly. If you don't read my posts, you won't read this, and I'll never get my answer.

 

To which you replied, in no uncertain terms whatsoever:

 

Yes, I would prefer no response. (thumbs u

 

...and yet, here we are, with you being offended when I take you at your word.

 

I would have been happy to explain all this privately, or not explained it at all, until you called me a hypocrite publicly. This is all really unnecessary melodrama. None of this needed to be said publicly. Since I have explained to you why I ignored you, no, no "pot meet kettle."

 

And that, as they say, is that.

Because I don't like the way you talk to people, myself included. I've told you this before. Why do you care?

Because I don't like the way you talk to people, myself included. I've told you this before. Why do you care?

 

You don't like the way I talk to people? So three months before you put me on ignore you told me: "I have a TREMENDOUS amount of respect for you, as opposed to many others that I have very little respect for. You try very hard to understand where people are coming from, and you don't resort to childish taunts (like so many) when someone challenges your dearly held notions."

 

And the day you put me on ignore you told me: "I'm sending this to you because I have had a great deal of respect for you and your opinions."

 

So I am not sure where this repeated "I don't like the way you talk to people, including me" comes from. The real reason is I told you I had been avoiding interaction after you accused me of issuing you a "challenge" when I was expressing my opinion on a general subject. For some reason you took that opinion personally and somehow as an attack.

 

The reason I care is you consistently, after your long emoticon period, make rather pedantic posts about how you are a speaker of truth. Yet you cannot get this little truth right. And that, like any hypocrisy, irritates me.
