  1. Agreed. I am HVAC wholesale business and the amount of price increases across all manufacturers and suppliers has been extreme. The supply chain is completely in shambles - production, manpower , commodities and transportation. For some items, we have had to raise prices in anticipation of what we will have to pay tomorrow or to cover costs of what we lost on cost increases on product we already sold. . That is not taking into account all the other increases in operating costs. CGC is not immune to this
  2. I am by no means an expert but ran into something similar years ago on another site. There could be a lot of things going on here, some of them bad - - the site could have banned your IP. This is extremely unlikely - it looks like you are going through Verizon but are you using a VPN client? That could possibly cause issues. Conversely it could solve your issue temporarily by masking your IP . - more likely than anything else is there was too many requests coming from your IP. I am not familiar with Cloudflare but I do know there are settings for websites where they can ban an IP based on a certain number of requests within a specified time frame. This is to protect a site from DOS attacks etc. - that means your IP could have exceeded the set threshold and a ban is implemented automatically. Most bans are temporary unless there was some type of history of excessive requests - Comic Connect could have a threshold too low or your system or systems using that IP could be infected with some type of virus that is used for DOS. That last part is the really bad part. You may want to do a deep scan for a virus. Try again , if it was temporary ban then you should be able to get on. I would still do a thorough , up to date virus scan.
  3. I agree with these, though Space 1999 may be a bit too obscure these days... I picked up four Charlie Chaplins in a collection last year, and I was surprised at how little they were going for. Forgotten platinum characters like Mutt & Jeff or Moon Mullins going for nothing I can understand, but Chaplin seems different... Space 1999 is pretty obscure but it seems fervent collectors like myself are willing to pay a lot for the 9.8's . The Chaplin's I just do not understand. I have one of the Chaplin 1917 Funny Stunts en route that the seller accepted 50% of his asking price. Way below guide. I know there is not high demand but these books are very scarce.
  4. Agreed, I have the 1940 and I think that is undervalued as well.
  5. 1970's Charlton - Bionic Woman, Six Million Dollar Man , Space 1999 Gold Key Battle of the Planets. Platinum age Charlie Chaplin ( and many other pre 1920 books.) All stuff I buy.
  6. Should comic-keys not be in the HOS? He refunded every person I know who caught or questioned his books. Not to mention, I am not sure how many transactions here were actually completed. Regardless, we are not policing the comic book world. The seller of married covers spoke up here in this community and was a member. That makes him a HOS candidate. If he did not, I would agree with you.
  7. I just got back myself, it was a great movie. Critics really just do not get these type of films. To put in context, it's like my girlfriend reviewing Transformers when we saw it together. She was saying some things were stupid , plot hard to follow , blah, blah blah. What she failed to realize ( same as critics) is I went to see cars, trucks and planes transform into robots and fight each other with laser guns. When I go to see Superman VS. Batman, I go to see Superman' might against Batman's brains in a knock down, drag out fight with a crescendo of uniting together with an Amazon against an unstoppable monster . Mission accomplished.
  8. Terry accepted an unsolicited offer for something he collects himself , shipped fast and it securely packaged. The books are very difficult to find in high grade and he was gracious in accepting my offer. Recommend completely.
  9. Give me a break, you have 25 posts and are totally ignorant . Jealousy has nothing to do with it, it has to do with experience and insight.
  10. I actually thought you would know and was going to PM you. Not yet, I'm surprised the people who bought form him have not come up with it.
  11. Has anybody gotten the sellers user information yet from eBay yet?
  12. Fast shipment, accurate grading ( if not under graded) and an extra print. Thanks Michael.
  13. I laugh everytime I see that video or GIF
  14. Very hard to find 1973 edition. One of 7 in 9.6 or above.
  15. That is not true, it means that it is still doing it's job - just like a microchamber not showing any PH change in the same amount of time. It tells me that your board loses it effectiveness much faster than the eGerber. Of course that is not the complete story, they may be a price difference .
  16. Quiet Noob. You '05ers are way too lippy sometimes. I'm just gonna default to eBay class of '99. Newb. eBay - '98 Boards - '02 You are all newbs. Or is it noobs?
  17. Does anybody know if restored comics receive less points in the registry? I am just curious to see how CGC views them.
  18. He's one of them shysters. I wouldn't care, or probably even believe, what he says. :gossip:bb I heard he was so tough a lawyer that archeologists unearthed an old english dictionary dating back to the year 900. It defined "total loser" as "one who has faced the legal rage of Zaid . "
  19. This one just seems disturbing - I just keep imagining Harley Yee is under that table "doing stuff" to the guys.
  20. Expect about $65 max for the 63 and about 60 to 70% guide on the rest here. Ebay prices would be all over the place.
