  1. see my proposal from 3 weeks ago >> I propose a third category, The Tool Shed. Once a member is removed from the PL, they go directly to the Tool Shed for life where they will not suffer buying or selling encumbrances but will be identified as a tool.
  2. will beerbohm make the next merriam webster? Dude, you got beerbohmed. Yeah, at that point I just grabbed my ankles and took a beerbohming.

  4. You are probably right, but it just makes me nervous. Is there no way to fix the glare issue via software settings??? I still don't understand the settings like "adaptive lighting", etc... The scanning head runs very close to the glass. Pressing on the glass will make it flex and it can stop the head. The motor still turns so it can get crooked or otherwise out of alignment. I've got a dead A3 scanner that locked up from weight of books without any additional pressing. I'm just saying to be careful. DG same thing happened to me with a microtek
  5. Is the unsightly indentation problem something new or has it been occasionally occurring since the beginning? I have owned several hundred CGC books over the years and have never seen it in hand.
  6. no way the shipping cost counts toward the minimum purchase requirement
  7. Photo Journalist Jean-Gerard Jakobs, from the New Hampshire Tribune, got fired in 2008, when he illegally entered Rita Malone's home (Steve Ditko's Grand-daughter)..during the now infamous Citlali Vega wedding; he snapped a series of images such as this one: Mrs Malone's threat to Sue the newspaper, brought about the December 2008 apology to her family, but the photo mishaps could not be undone. Here is Ditko talking to Citlali's sister during the post-wedding party.... is he drinking a Beck's ?

  9. case closed toyman does not go on the pl but has suffered the public humiliation of having their integrity questioned wtf. BS he doesnt. How is that any kind of warning to the community?? what am I missing? are any of the following statements incorrect? 1. the seller did not wait the full 30 days for payment before relisting 2. the seller informed the prospective buyer that he would prefer to relist as opposed to waiting 3. the book is now sold so no true remedy is available

  11. The fact that a book as expensive as the Pacific Coast Hulk 1 has been resubbed many times tells me that the more expensive/rare/highly sought after a book is, the more likely it is that it'll have a "checkered" resub history. Combine that with your point about overgraded/overworked books and the astronomical rise in the prices of many key books, and you can only conclude that buyers will continue to get far less for their collecting dollar. If I had money that I couldn't afford to lose tied up in books, I'd be dumping like it's hot. A little data to support a rational argument. Here's a snapshot of the PC TOS run. These books were run through the ringer multiple times. High grade to start with, but that wasn't quite enough. Every squeeze was undertaken to maximize their monetary potential... that's beautiful. I'm impressed with how much pressing improves page quality
  12. one vote for off the list once the books are received 1. no one lost any money except for the seller 2. seller has apologized 3. seller is trying to make amends 4. enjoy Communication Breakdown, link to follow linky
  13. my first thought was mega-con artist but either way works
  14. anyone else think of lance rentzel who was a good wide receiver for the cowboys in the late 60's
  15. you may have to wait for the paypal outcome and see if the book is returned before you can nominate the buyer if you want, out the buyer anyway and see if he/she shows up here
  16. If it is better than Timmay, I would like to see that video. One boardie was able to refurbish his couch with all the foam sheeting.
  17. you may be right (thumbs u
  18. perhaps you could get a lien against the property that would have to be settled if he ever did try to sell it I am not a lawyer and have never played one on tv.
