Got this e-mail but I'm not moving to Dallas. I like it here in Florida to much.

Can't imagine anyone would make too much money with that position.

 

If I'm gonna work in the comic industry someday, i'll be my own boss at my own lcs.

 

But, that'll be after I retire from other things ..... if I ever get a real job devil.gif

That would have to be a well paid position. Just think how sick you would feel if you yourself closed a deal that landed Heritage $100k in profit in 3 weeks, while you make less than say 40k in a year.

 

27_laughing.gif That's funny. I bring in over $1m of gross revenue for my company every year--guess what? It keeps the people that are "overhead" employed. But if I fall beneath the level of tolerance---and you can see someone sharpening the knives and looking my way.

 

BTW: my stuff arrived. Thanks!

I still find it uncomfortable that an major comics auction house is busy buying collections and listing them on their site...

You know what I mean though. Sometimes when you buy a collection the only reason you got it is because of who you are. The person selling likes you so they sell to you.
