  1. Per DM I'll Take the Blue Bolt #114
  2. I'd give your local UPS driver a tip just as a thank you even though he probably had nothing to do with the recovery.
  3. I expect that most of the overgraded books already in holders will now become "suspect" supported by my new 25% dealer discount to become customer service again.
  4. While I agree there are always going to be people inside and outside the business that will try to scam the system. Clearly there is a breakdown or lack of security follow ups on employees that sell books. Now while they may have gotten permission to sell books it is obvious that what they are selling is not checked by the company. I'm assuming that going forward that will not be the case because frankly these two employees are ruining CGC's business reputation on integrity. For me I've had issue with "Consultants" who come in and grade and also sell books.
  5. Who is the "someone"? I can say that someone is causing the drop in prices by selling Ugly copies.
  6. That was my workout of the day. Followed up with a cup of coffee.
  7. I kept hitting refresh over and over again until the page restored. Powered the PC over and over again just like tech support recommends. Cleared my cache over and over again. Powered my router off and on because that is what the problem is.
  8. Thank you for the people commenting on my consignment service. My consignment fees are 10% up to $9999, 8.75% up to $99,999, 7.5% over $100K I do not charge you the seller paypal fees etc. If you have any questions you can always message or give me a call.
  9. My plan for this year is to do Bedrock's texas show in Houston.
  10. You are absolutely correct. Your post and possibly mine will unfortunately "influence" collectors into not going to a show. I am not badmouthing the show by the way. I like New Orleans but the economic reality is that it is not profitable. There is NOTHING emotional about the numbers. I can't do shows based on HOPE someone shows up to buy what I'm selling. Multi day events don't treat dealers like celebrities, they treat dealers as a economic revenue stream to bring in the celebrities.
  11. Sorry for my short reply. I loved doing New Orleans but it was always to travel, enjoy the local cuisine and hopefully make some money. Unfortunately, I don't make money at the show, therefore I don't do it. If I want to give away $3500 for free I can do that behind my computer and not drive to Louisiana which is what I'm in the hole at minimum to do a show. It is nice to see that Fan expo finally is asking their attendees why they are there. I would love to see a breakdown of responses to see what percentage of the show is there to buy comics.
  12. Aladair was a long term collector and I've know him 10+ years. Mostly a Marvel collector.
