Look, this has nothing to do with sharon and I. I have apologized to Sharon in public and in private messages. The whole thing got a little out of hand tonight when I saw all of the mud being thrown at me when I was not even here to defend myself. With that being said, I am done with this now. My messages have been sent, my people know how to find me. Sharon, again, sorry all of that happened the way it did. Sorry for the negativity tonight, I was in a pretty bad mood coming here and seeing all of this. Anyway guys (and gal) it's time to move on. Sorry it ended on such a bad note, I had a lot of fun on the forums.

Tim, I have no vendetta...You and I do not hang out...we are not best buds, I'm not worried about us being best buds... I would not run you over with my car, but I'd feed you if you were hungry. Like I tried to explain many moons ago, he lived here. When you log in with a seperate ID from the same computer you get PMs about multiple ID log ins, shill accounts, etc. He used mine so we would avoid that. No trickery was meant I typed that from my phone, sometimes I do get a LOT of typos.. GUN was definitely meant to be FUN...dont call the suicide hotline on me My problem is, the lack of responsibility, never ONCE did you say you were sorry, you messed up. That was all I needed. All I got was a bunch of BS about your cousin, your brother, it was never you. I said back then, and I'll say it again, IF that stuff was true, then it was YOUR responsibility for giving them your password. You posted a want thread for the book, if you remember... . I think honestly, it was probably a case of I want, I want,I want...and you bit off WAY too much. You keep forgetting, I was NOT the only one you were dealing with, there were SEVERAL people you told you were taking books and you didn't. And there is no need for a gun, no one wants you to shoot yourself, just want you to grow up. Best of luck! Again Sharon, I did apologise about the whole thing. You keep bringing up my brother who lived in my house for using my account, he did. He did multiple :takeits: and most of the time he did pay for them. I told you that only because you asked why I kept buying books, and that was the reason. I never said anything about a gun. I dont plan on killing myself over this, its done. I have not been active here in almost 2 months either way, so its not a HUGE dissapointment that I am being "voted off" so to speak. I dont know where everyone is getting this whole " I dont care" attitude from me, thats NOT the case. I am very upset about not getting these 2 books. Not for the fact that this is happening, but they are 2 books that I really wanted for my collection. Had things played out differently, I would have them, everyone would be happy and we would not be having this conversation. As for the comment about an AC not being a neccessity....really? I live in New Orleans and I do think that having my house cool enough to live in for my kids is MUCH more important than me buying comics. Thats just a stupid comment. The comment about me trying to dump books to buy others....hmmmm, thats a new practice I guess right? I was in a pinch 3 months before I agreed to have them paid off so I started a sales thread because I was in a bind? No, they were books that I had specifically to sell. Again, I held on to them because the buyers wanted them and I will not flame them because "life" got in the way of them buying comics. I talked with Andre and I apologised for this whole thing. It got way out of hand while I was gone this past month, and of course my "fans" had to build it up as much as possible. That was a joke, Tim...you said Gun...I think you meant fun. I did ask why you were buying books when you weren't paying people, you said your brother and your cousin had your ID, I suggested, they should have their own...I said that, because your statement was not exactly credible. Why on earth would your brother and cousin need to use YOUR ID to buy books :shrug: In any case,that was not a question you need to answer. .as I said before, best of luck! well, that didnt post for some reason...here is the quick version... My brother lived here and used my ID because he couldnt have his own from our understanding. When my buddy would log in here, I would get multiple ID messages about shills and fraud and whatnot Gun was definitely supposed to read "FUN"...dont call the suicide hotline on me just yet

I think its a real shame myself. I know you bought some ST books awhile back and I thought all was well, good transaction on both ends. That goes for at least a hundred other transactions here, but that probation thread fiasco from 3 years ago keeps coming up and I will never hear the end of it. Obviously had I been on the boards the last few weeks, a few things may be different. I cant just come up with 2k overnight for 2 comics, but its not like I was not trying to get it taken care of. When Irealized that the other 2 sales were going nowhere, it really did put a bad taste in my mouth. The last few transactions prior to those sales were not nearly as smooth as they used to be. Maybe it was stress, maybe it was just me getting tired of selling comics, I dont know. I do take forever shipping sometimes, I cant help that. What I do sell DOES get shipped. Usually with free books regardless of how long it took. This is not what I wanted to do tonight, but like I said, I am being outcast regardless. I would say that my time here has been fun. There were some bumps in the road, but I have no real regrets. I hold no hard feelings towards anyone (especially Sharon, cause it does seem like we go back and forth too much) I just think its time for me to move on. I have way more to deal with right now other than comics. I wish all of you good luck and to keep the hobby going strong.

I did say that IF I sold the car and got enough for it I would take the book, but I didn't. I never accused you of being brain dead, I just said that you gave a vendetta against me and chime in whenever possible. I still have those pm's also, no need to go digging them up I am on the list now so be it. I am not seeking amnesty here, honestly it does not matter to me anymore. The books I sold were shipped, the books I could not pay for are still with their owner along with my deposit. The masses have spoken, I am not wanted here. Life goes on. I had gun here, met a lot of nice people, a few jerks, bought some stuff, sold some stuff, he'll I even donated a few books to raise funds for a boardie. Anyway, saying my goodbyes to a few friends and I am out of here. I will try to not let the door hit me in the azs on the way out.

Drama usually is better than "has beens" dancing

Just so the record is clear, you were on the Probation List once previously, but for multiple infractions occuring in and around the same time. Yes, they were in the same time, the same year that I was away from the boards. Ironic how the infractions all fell into play at the same time isnt it :grin:

Ok, I am more or less screwed here anyway, so lets do this. You dont like me because you think I stiffed you on a book you claimed to hold for me for over a year. I did not ask you to hold the book that long, as a matter of fact, I was not even on the boards for 90% of that time. I had "basic needs" to attend too. You blamed me for losing money because of the economy, even though not once did I say "yes, I want to buy your Batman 14". I told you numerous times that if I got the money from some sales that I would buy it, key word here was "IF". I did not ask you to hold the book that long, and I have apologized for that incident NUMEROUS times, but you dont want to accept it because you STILL think I tried flaming you in a thread. I have steered clear of your posts and sales threads as I told you I would, but you continue to bring this up every chance you get. You are 100% right, I did not ship a book out that I sold. I contacted the buyer last night when I had gotten on the boards for the first time in weeks and offered him a full refund or the book, I have yet to get that response. I am not a scammer. I work my asss off to support my family. The people who know me in real life, not just on a comic forum know this. You want to talk abot the tables being reversed? Fine. As I told Andre, I was in the process of selling a few books to pay for those 2 spideys. It was getting very late in the deal when I had to replace my AC unit in my house and had to use all of my "play" money to fix it. Basic needs right? Well low and behold, 3 months later and I have yet to recieve a DIME for one of the books ($1300 for those following this thread). Should I out this guy? Surely. By the standards being set here, why not. I dont care if he got married, had to replace his transmission, kids got sick, or anything else right? He agreed to buy a book and he should be on the list. Am I going to do this? ABSOLUTELY Not. The guy had problems. Do I wish he had fulfilled his end? Certainly, but crying about it is not going to change the fact that he can not get the book. Things happen, and I do not hold grudges over things like this. What about the guy who contacted me to buy a $900.00 book. He straight up asked me if it was still for sale and that he would then I never heard from him again. Andre, for the record, I was on the list one time, not several. The ones who want me there love to talk about it. Sharon likes to say that I "ignored" being on it when in fact I didnt even know. I was off the boards for roughly a year or so and came back on and started a sales thread, thats when I found out about being on the list. I killed the thread and started emailing the people who I had left hanging, but thats irrelevant now. It was supposed to be done and gone, but certain people dont want to let that go. Sharon, I know you dont believe it, but I have no hard feelings towards you. I appreciate the fact that you asked bosco to hold off on the thread, but in all honesty, I was not on the boards to even see it. The last 3 months have been non stop. I am taking a break from collecting, I dont have the time anymore. As for your comment about how I raise my kids, that was uncalled for, I will say that. Bill, thanks for taking up for me man, I appreciate it. You know if you ever need help with a show, moving and sorting stock, just the heavy lifting, or whatever, I am there if you need me.

This is the first time I am seeing all of this, but figured I would put my 2 cents in. I pm'dAndre last night about the 2 books I told him I was going to buy a few months back. I told him to keep the small deposit that I had sent him initially and apologized that I was not able to purchase them at this time. I was informed that he had already sold one of them so there was not a whole lot I could do regardless. I did try to stay in touch with him as things were going on, but I could not keep up. I told him I had to take a break from comics right now and apparently he took that way more personal than I thought. I am not not upset that he nominated me for the probation list, but seriously? The HOS? I have not ripped anyone off here, I was a bit late sending out a few boxes and the people who were Involved in these transactions. There are certain people here who do not like me and regardless of what I do will never be good enough for them, and I cant change that. As a whole I think I was a decent guy to deal with. Being put on the HOS list is excessive and you guys know that, but you control the boards and if you don't want me as a member here, then so be it. To all of the friends that I have made here, you guys know me and you know how to stay in touch and I look forward to it.

I want a christmas card Chew 12 was awesome, thanks to my buddy who is getting me the variant!

It took me forever to find all 5 with the reverse captain america when I was a kid! I did pick up a complete set last month for like a buck though

Can anyone snag me a SDCC copy? Hopefully someone I sent one of the NOLA sketchbooks too can hook a brotha up!

Had a local artist do a TMNT 1 cover swipe for me with his version of the turtles. I am loving this piece! Raph is a BEAST!

Its one of those "looks much nicer than the grade" books. The front looks great, but tthe back has a 2 inch color breaking scratch on the bottom, so I am very pleased. I will likely crack it out of the case, I just cant stand the 7.5 label sitting over that awesome looking book!

Couple of commissioned pieces, gonna have a SWEET one next week sometime, so no spoilers! Shredder by my buddy Monty (doing the super secret piece for me) he has a VERY unique version of the TMNT I am sure everyone is going to like Raph by Rob Guillory (belongs to friend) And my b-day gift to myself
