Changes for this boardie 1 1

[Diamonddave]

Hello All, 

In the interest of full disclosure I am announcing that I've accepted a position at Metropolis/Comic Connect. I've been a buyer/seller on the boards on a personal level for a decade now and I decided to make comics and comic related items my full time living. So in that regard, I will not be posting items for sale personally any longer.

So you're saying... you can get us... the hook-up ?

[Drummy]

Dave's wheels are in motion...right to downtown NYC!  Congrats on your new position.

Best of luck.  Does the job involve moving to the NYC area or are you already there?

[MatterEaterLad]

Congrats! I hope you're not working remotely. Just being in that place with all the OA on the walls is incredible. Feels like you're inside of King Tut's Tomb.

Sorry to hear that.  Were you hired in the traditional way or did you just hang around the booth until he offered you a job?

Sad to see you go as we have made some deals in the past. Congrats on your new endeavor.

Hung around the booth and pitched a fit until they hired me. Then I shut up and went on my way.

Oh man! We lost another great seller to Heritage last year! 

Congrats! I hope you love the job!

Congrats Diamonddave; your threads will be missed! Please stay otherwise active on the boards! 
 

Uh, surely one of those very occasional animal charity fundraiser sales threads would be acceptable…

Congrats!

Congratulations!  Cool job.  I tried pretty hard to get a job in a comic book store a few years ago. No dice.

please make the first thing you do there to redo their website. i want to bid in their auctions, i really do. theres no reason that Clink, who dont even bother to show back cover scans, should have such a faster and better website. but they do.
