This is beyond awesome!!!

who looks like he's 15. at least he'll likely be coming off an Oscar nomination for Whiplash Almost certainly not happening.

One of those 9.6 was mine I caught that, but I didn't want to "out" you.

The last three sold on eBay: Aug 18 - $88 (plus $10 shipping) Aug 24 - $65 (don't know how much shipping was, but it doesn't really matter) Sep 16 - listed for $109 but a "best offer" was accepted. (Shipping was $12.95) So, $105 shipped, while not an "outrageous" price, was definitely a bit high and not really a really good deal for someone looking for that book. Especially when you can actually find a 9.6 for $100 or less (plus $10 or so for shipping)! I see four that sold in that range in the last month.

He actually didn't make a lower offer, he just posted the through PM. Which struck me as a bit odd at first (why didn't he just buy them in the thread?), but then I thought that there are probably some people who prefer buying privately. Oh well, I guess I'll just follow the standard procedure and keep the books for 30 days, and then nominate him for the PL (if he's even here by then). I'll send him a couple more PMs but I'm not holding my breath.

The fact he did not pay for the book and tried selling it here under a shill account makes me open to an HOS poll. Since he is on leave now following a strike the question is do we wait for his return day to try getting him over here for an explanation? But overall this has a bad smell. Just want to be sure the facts are straight He was not try to sell that book, but was showing it under the new account to get grades in the PGM thread He did sell other books under the new account earlier this week. Thanks for the clarification! This does sound HOS worth to me if someone comes back under a shill who has a prior record of shenanigans and does even more shenanigans under the new shill. For gosh sake Lighthouse came back and he had the guts to do so under his original ID. hcaworker also bought two books (this one and this one) from my recent sales thread, which he hasn't paid for. He bought them by PMing me and not by posting in the thread What should I do? Ship now, bill later. Hehe... That's not gonna happen

Phil bought some Bat-books from me a couple of weeks ago. Great communication, fast payment, a super-smooth transaction overall! And he obviously likes Batman, which is always an asset to a person's character. (thumbs u

Sold a book to Colin (Treco) a couple of weeks ago. I posted the book at 11:04 pm, he posted the at 11:06. He PM'd me asking about a couple of other books (which, unfortunately, I didn't have) at 11:22, we talked a bit, I gave him my PayPal and he paid at 1:11 a.m. Super-smooth transaction, great communication, fast payment. What more can you ask? An excellent boardie (thumbs u

Absolutely! I think Way was the first writer who really "got" Deadpool Really? I think that if it wasn't for Joe Kelly's amazing late 90s run which defined the character and gave him a distinct personality and voice, there wouldn't be anything for Way (or other future writers) to "get".

No, it's because there are many (MANY!) people out there who don't slab their books unless they're planning on selling them! Slabbing a book (even a rare book; a popular book; a high grade book!) is not (let me repeat that, NOT) an automatic course of action for hundreds (probably thousands) of collectors. Dare I say, for the majority of collectors. I told you a bit earlier that I've had this book for 15 years. Unslabbed. Raw. In a mylite with a fullback. Inside a short box with all my other Sandman books. It will remain there for as long as I'm collecting (which will probably be for the rest of my life). I'm 38 now and if I continue living a good life (and barring some unforeseen disaster or accident), I'll probably keep on truckin' on this planet for a good 40 years more at least (most people in my family live to see their 90s BTW). So, this copy of the book is one (among many, I guess) that won't be seen on the market for at least a few decades. Again, I ask you, why do you believe that this is such a unique situation? I appreciate you trying to make me feel special, but I assure you, I'm not. Also... There are MANY MORE who don't. Really. No matter how many times you keep saying that, it won't necessarily make it true.

I have one. Bought it in 1999 for $85 (IIRC). It's been in the same box for the last 15 years, along with all my Sandman issues and barring some unforeseen disaster it'll remain there for the rest of my time on this earth. Now, try to imagine how many more people like me (Sandman fans/collectors who don't need/want to sell their personal collection) might be out there and you may realize why it's entirely possible (nay, probable!) that there are many more copies existing than the 100 you give as a "ceiling" for this book. Like RMA said, 600 distributed copies in 1989 of a well-known book with a hardcore fanbase, cannot logically translate to less than 100 existing in 2014. It "might" (since no one can say for certain in cases like this) but it really doesn't make sense to believe so.

I swear I'll stop. I don't post much anyway.

Well, you kinda did by posting the Congo Bill #6, which is not a pre-code book. Only the first four issues are But you got some super cool books and you're not afraid to show them, so all is forgiven.
