This is old slab goodness and not one of the new TurdSlab™… this slab is in perfect condition and there are no cracks, “newton effects”, waves, microchamber outlines or other anomalies.

 

Feel free to “derail” this thread at anytime but I don’t break the rules and sell here and Ebay at the same time. If derailed I won’t cry about it.

 

This book is a CGC 2.0 and that’s all it is, I’m not going to fluff it up and say “I thought it should be a 2.5 or this should be a 3.0” It’s a CGC 2.0 and that’s it. Those who try to pump their book by saying it’s a 9.4 but should be a 9.6 so I call it a 9.5” are disgusting snake oil salesmen and in the same group as johnbumschmidtnet who are all about selling TurdSlabs™ to the masses regardless of condition because CoolBooks and money.

 

 

 

 

not sure if insulting the company that is providing a free service for you to sell your books at no cost to you is such a great idea. I get that you aren't happy with the new slabs but really turdslab?

 

 

Also insulting 3 board members in the same post, wowsers

 

I guess I need to update my sales rules to on Greggy while I make money

 

Hector, I agree completely. Our hosts do a lot of live and let live on their own company site. This is remarkable in an age of hyper corporate conformity and group think.

 

I try to imagine other big businesses running an open website on these terms for any other product and its hard to come up with examples that would compare.

You guys need to re-read this and Roy's sales threads. There is not so subtle shade being directed at Roy (NOT CGC) for selling a book that was also listed on Ebay.

 

And can we talk about the grade A person_too_unaware_of_social_graces comment made by Columbia Comics in Roy's sales thread? Despicable.

 

I understand and Boardies can answer for their own behaviour. My comment was limited to the additional (and unecessary) cheap shot that was taken at the company. Manners between Boardies are an issue for sure, but so are good manners as a guest.

At one point, he claimed that he was trying to be better. I guess we now know that was a load of excrement

Or maybe he just did not manage to attain that so far…

 

 

Or maybe he's no longer trying. However, perhaps you are correct

I saw that comment and thought that was over the line, especially if what was said is actually true. No need to ever kick a person when they are down.

 

I think that comment was possibly the lowest most awful thing ever stated on this forum.

 

We don't need that kind of pathological awfulness here.

I didn't bring up the CC comment as I know that will overshadow this one. Referring to Roy as a snake oil salesman, huckster is a bit much. Totally uncalled for. I'll let Roy defend himself, but reading the rest of the comments in that thread it sounds like other boardies didn't seem to have a problem with these posts.

 

we have hit all time low

I know it was. Do you even know the story of why that Gimp mask was put in the sig line? Paging Sharon, paging Sharon.
