I sat on the pm, thought on it, got it a second opinion etc for the same reason. After thinking it over and talking it over, I came to the conclusion that the thread was winding down and any potential homes had found their choices. I had the thread up for days, multiple boardies have made small stacks with instant grabs, and I had done pm deals on a couple of the straggler books already. In advance, I tagged lots of people in an announcement and stated no advance sales via PM to keep it fair. I could probably have sold every book via PM just from the announcement. I didn’t limit how many folks could take in the thread, and Blackmask’s take is about as many as I’ve kept for myself. And there’s seven more coming tonight, which will conclude the thread. So I feel like I have made a strong effort to make them widely available on here at fair prices with everyone getting a shot. That was my thinking.

Why you, or I, (or anyone) should find it necessary to defend or justify this transaction is utterly nonsensical. The thread was up for days, and multiple people made multiple purchases. The recap post was up for 10 hours before I sent the PM. But honestly, what difference does that even make? If I had seen the thread sooner, my stack may have been even higher! Do I have to ask permission from the lurkers in order to buy a book on a forum for buying/selling books? Or you apologize for selling them? What Bizarro World is this? buttock, miraclemet and jayhawker 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve had fine exchanges/board deals with Rob and I just take it as a straight question. It’s all good, everyone.

Readcomix Posted April 25 Author Share Posted April 25 Ok gang, I did get back from work late tonight, and the kids want ice cream. I just finished dinner. Figure those final seven probably about 10ish Eastern tonight, just a little later than the other nights. I do have to shoot a couple pix, too.

Readcomix Posted April 25 Author Share Posted April 25 Ok, first one is not a comp copy, but obtained as a back issue by Joe and/or his son to fill out their archive of his work. It was also offered in the thread to help with Jimbo’s stroke recovery costs and went untaken, so it will be offered for Jimbo here. Kid Colt #90 GVG at best. But two Sinnott sigs. $50 to JimJum12’s PayPal, and you get this added to your stack, and your stack ships for free.
