I guess some people still do use the OSPG for current prices.  I actually buy two copies each and every year.  Both HC - one is the Heroes Initiative copy just so I can support it.  I haven't opened a copy in I can't remember how long.  Still shrinkwrapped.  I have bought a copy since the 4th edition but for slabs at least and most key books or hot books that fluctuate with movies and other trends, OSPG is a dinosaur.  

Even a quick scan of EBay sold for FF 49 CGC 8.0 shows $300-$500 more than this asking price so even without GPA, one could get a sense of current levels.

The 1 post newb thread krapper just gave me the •••• off in a PM

Interesting on NP_G didn't provide the entire story, just the part that tried to make him/herself look good.  NP_G said "people are talking about me" for posting a ebay listing for asm 408 in an asm 408 thread.  it was 100% on topic on an open posting board, not somebody's "private" forum.  

Just to be 100% clear, the "f off" was not to NP_G directly, it was too his/her statement about "people are talking about me".  Let's try to be a little less serious and sensitive. Feel free to check out my post for yourself and not take NP_G's word.

Posting an ebay link to a cheaper copy of a book in someone's FS thread = Threadcrapping.

Welcome to the boards, but if you would take a minute and read the rules before posting, you'd see that there is a forum for advertising posts. This is a privately owned chatboard, CGC owns it. They set the rules. 

Here is a link to the rules for the sales forums, but there is a nice thread in Comics General for newcomers.

@Tcauld

In case you are having trouble finding it. Here is a great guide for new people, you'll find a ton of good information.

good to see facts don't matter here.  The post was for a $175 copy of asm 408.  link to ebay is for a $199 dollar asm 408.  therefore new link is for more expensive book, not cheaper.  and original post was in 2012!  i think the post is no longer valid.

No, that's called threadkrapping in someone's sales thread. Frowned upon here. This isn't facebook or instagram. We have rules here. skypinkblu posted some useful links above. I suggest checking them out.

Is it "excessive" bumping when a sales thread adds a book or two every day or so?  Certainly helps w/keeping the thread on page 1 in G/S/B

If you're adding books I think its fine.  At least per the rules.  I can't imagine anyone would want to police the amount of new books added to any given sales thread over any period of time.  Other wise, how many is enough? Who would set the rules?

I agree with @revat. It's within the boundary of the rules. G/S/B has so many threads now that you can get bumped off page 1 in 12 hours; you've either got to list piles of books, which is seldom the case anymore, or have a high interest thread, which is the case for a limited number of sellers, or find ways to manage your visibility within the confines of the rules.

It could be. Is it against the 'letter of the law'? Probably not. Is it against the 'spirit of the law'? Yeah, maybe and it could be a loophole to be exploited by a seller who likes to push the envelope. I do not believe that most sellers here would do that but some definitely would. No question about it.

Yeah assume if it is a pattern, it can be yanked.  I looked back at the rules but nothing that I see about listing books within a certain time period.  Below are the two rules that are related.  

• No spamming. Group your for sale items into as few threads as is reasonable. Attempts to take up front page real estate by creating multiple threads for no reason are not allowed.
• Threads may be bumped three times total AND only ONE FULL DAY AFTER falling off of the front page. This does not include "sold" notices, or truly useful informational updates. Note: we CAN tell the difference between a real update and a fake bump-update. Tread that line at your own risk. If you're spam bumping, "lawyering" the rules will not save you. ALSO HIDING YOUR POST AFTER BUMPING WILL NOT SAVE YOU. Yep, we can see that stuff.
