And let's be frank, I think it's likely that some are complaining about the timing of reporting a sale because they feel it might cause them to miss out on a buying or selling opportunity affecting their own personal interests.

^^^^^^^^^

this is getting truer & truer on these Boards every day

When buying a book....whose interests should I be pursuing?hm

Why do you pay money to subscribe to GPA?

I obviously pay to track sales to make money from them but I don't rely on GPA to teach me how to make money, which is what some might be intending to glean from it. 

I use GPA as a general guide not as an instruction manual on what to buy, when to buy and when to sell. 

For those things, I spend a lot of time and effort reading, listening, learning and watching markets and things related to markets.  

I am realizing through this discussion that some may be using it as a flipping tool.

I'm not a 'flipper' so it didn't cross my mind. 

As a potential flipper, I can understand the exception people are having, but I think a better question is how outraged should I be for a service I pay $10 a month for?

People pay more for coffee each day than they pay for this service that is likely 99% accurate and that helps them maximize their investments on hobbies that cost them $1000's or even millions. 

That's why I keep saying I feel the outrage is disproportionate.

Some in the discussion have lost sight of how much benefit we're getting for literally next to nothing in cost.

An unprofessional response would be to become defensive when someone refers to misleading recorded sales data (which is what this is) as [engaging in specified behavior].

It would also be misleading to report a book to GPA as having been sold for which the prospective buyer never completes the time payments, and hence, the sale.  This is a rationale why a book would not be reported as having been sold on the day a transaction was begun, but instead when it was completed.

I cannot image that MCS is withholding payment from sellers as purchasers are making payments.

There are several comic dealers and auctioneers that pay consigners once their consignments are paid for, not when a sale is initiated.

I think this needs to be emphasized. 

There are not many people who are nicer or more helpful than George from GPA or Conan from MCS in my experience.

I genuinely believe they are two of the best people involved in this hobby and that is why I myself took such exception to what was being discussed in the way I did.  

Nobody is perfect but they generally go above and beyond to be helpful and I feel that is worth noting. 

That a few people could throw people who are to my knowledge beyond reproach under a bus so easily is very disheartening and those are the acts people should be outraged about.

Please start pouring on your elitist condescension :cloud9:

I don't think anybody in here does that.  

We all appreciate you taking a break from your skateboarding to participate.  However, we're trying to have an adult conversation in here, and it involves things that are quite a bit above your pay grade.

So, what do you own, sonnyboy?

Why not just address members directly in your posts, rather than just continue to sling mud to whoever might be listening?   You came into this thread guns a blazin’ :yeehaw: to defend Conan & George, and the last thing those individuals need is your defence.   You painted everyone that has an issue with this late reporting as an ignorant, fearful, greedy self-interested troll(para-phrasing).  And now you continue to paint with this broad brush, accusing(again, no one directly) members of questioning the integrity of Conan & George....which no one has done.

Bravo :golfclap:

Dude, are you high?

My points have addressed those that I felt needed to be addressed. 

Take Domo's advice and chill out.

I couldn’t be more chill right now.  I assume your question is rhetorical....

I think some of these Podcasters don't really understand the legal ramifications of what they are doing.
They think they can just say whatever they want without consequences. I think Mycomicshop handled this
much better than I would have if someone was accusing my business of collusion without proof.

 

Because, quite frankly, their motivation is not to be a journalist. It's to get themselves over, plain and simple.

And now an anti-drug commercial.   If I wasn’t high, I’d be much more focused on taking you to task.   Consider yourself lucky :peace:

You're like an annoying mosquito I can't whisk away.

Chill is boring.  I don't poke people to calm them down.

So....what do you own, Twinkle Toes? :baiting:
