Another interesting part of the Crackhouse of Comics website...

 

 

"Discounts ...

 

Discounts are available on orders for certain multiple items. To receive a discount or make an offer on available comics you must contact one of our sales consultants at 704-681-6905 prior to your order and arrangements will be made to process your order as agreed."

 

One of our sales consultants?

 

Like this is more than a two-person scam.

 

What kind of offers do they take? A dime bag for a "NM" X-Men #94?

This was a highly entertaining read....

 

So now what is more likely to happen:

 

Cal calls CGC over his photoshop inclusion

 

Elizabeth comes to school us on life ?

Every time I leave this thread for awhile and come backI feel like a space traveler come home and the world has moved on

 

So many new gems to enjoy. I didn't believe in magic.......until this thread

[chromium]

I wonder if these fine professional from crack Den Comics will be setting up at SDCC this year.

 

Could you imagine the awesomeness this would generate?

I want to post laws too:

 

In Missouri, It is Illegal To Drive With An Uncaged Bear (Caged Bears Are OK).

 

Anal and oral sex used to be illegal in Maryland. I was going to post the law, but apparently it was corrected in 1999! I'm too late.

 

That's all well and good, but we have a problem here!

 

 

So is it still illegal to sodomize a uncaged bear or what?

[Aces]

In Victoria Australia, it is forbidden to wear pink hot pants after mid-day on a Sunday.

I guess offenders have to take them off?

HOW TO CLEAN YOUR HOUSE

 

Get started. Decide how clean you want your house to be and how much time you have. This will help you decide how to set up your cleaning schedule. Be honest with yourself about what you can do.

 

Attempt to delegate tasks. If you live with other people, cleaning the house should not be exclusively your responsibility! You may have to take on leadership by setting up a rotational cleaning schedule, but it's better than having to do this backbreaking work alone.

Some people prefer to put off cleaning as long as possible, then have a big cleaning campaign now and then.

For the "average" busy person (not a neat freak) it works better to do a little bit every day so that the work doesn't pile up, and also have major-cleaning day a few times a month. What style you prefer is up to you (unless you have roommates of course).

 

2. Cleaning glass/mirrors. It is commonly thought that glass cleaner does the cleaning. It's no substitute for soapy water!

 

First, wash your glass (including windows and mirrors) with a solution of warm or hot water, dish soap and a rag, sponge, or squeegee. Powdered no-scratch cleaner works fantastic for cleaning mirrors, glass, ceramics, and metals because it scrubs off hard water residue without scratching the surface.

Wipe down surface with a dry lint-free cloth or lint-free paper towels.

If you want to clean glass and be environmentally friendly, clean the glass with vinegar and water, dry with a lint-free cloth, and rub the glass with newspaper. No streaks! Make sure you use some elbow grease -- it requires pressure to properly clean glass.

Alternatively, spray glass cleaner on a paper towel and clean the glass surface. The glass cleaner acts as a shield to help keep spots and dust easy to remove. When misused, glass "cleaner" will leave streaks.

 

3. Polish furniture. Like glass cleaner, furniture polish isn't meant to be a cleaner. However, it can be used for cleaning. If you'd like to use furniture polish, make sure to carefully read the labels and find one made specifically for what you need.

 

 

Some furniture can handle water, and those that can should be used with the soapy solution from step two. Be sure to quickly dry off these surfaces.

Next, apply the suggested amount of furniture polish and wipe away according to directions. This will keep dust from magnetizing to your furniture.

 

4. Using all-purpose cleaners. Be cautious with all-purpose cleaners. They aren't always safe for every purpose you'll have in mind. Make sure to thoroughly read labels before purchasing to ensure it fits your needs.

 

 

Do not mix cleaners! Use them one at a time and follow the directions on the label.

 

5. Working outside. Outdoor tasks can help create a better living environment. Raking leaves helps to prevent mold growth that happens in wet climates after raining. Raking regularly will also assist in dropping the bug count in your yard. Raking will also leave your yard looking neat and cared for and offer more room for grass to grow and sunlight to reach.

 

 

Trimming/pruning Trimming back plants (hedges, rose bushes, etc.) can help prevent water lines and dirt from getting on the walls of your home.

 

6. Do the laundry with a washing machine or by hand. The following are generic instructions for a washing machine:

 

 

First, begin the water at the needed temperature and level.

Next, pour in the needed amount of laundry detergent where the water is pouring.

If you use fabric softener, a great thing to use is the fabric softener balls that you pour your softener into and just throw in at the beginning. (This saves you from having to wait for the rinse cycle.) If you use one, do this with the detergent. If you put your clothes in first, you risk staining your clothes with the coloring in these liquids.

 

7. Drying your laundry. The way you transfer your clothes into your dryer can affect the way they come out. Once the entire washing cycle is complete, shake to remove the twisting of fabric and the heavy wrinkles then toss into your dryer. This process can help prevent wrinkling and helps your clothes to dry more efficiently. It also helps to empty the dryer while your clothes are still warm.

 

 

8. Clean the floor.

 

Vacuuming is the most effective way to clean up all the dust and other loose junk that accumulates on your floor (and it's practically a daily necessity when you have shedding pets). If you're always putting off vacuuming, try using a dry dust mop (the microfiber kind works well) if you have tile/wood floors.

You can use a carpet sweeper (non-electric machine you push that has brushes underneath) if you have carpet. Both involve less fuss than getting out the vacuum and will let you go longer between vacuuming.

 

9. Mop your floor. Some the new and innovative substitutes for mopping can be helpful but they are still no substitute for a good rag mop for getting rid of glued-on grime.

 

 

If you have tile or textured floors, nothing else will get the dirt out of the cracks and depressions.

There are a vast number of options for rag mops. Rag mops with real fabric scrub better and last longer than mops with a sponge. With a good rag mop, one thing is guaranteed; when you use a little elbow grease, your floors will look fantastic. Use hot water and the appropriate cleaner for your floor (again, read the labels).

 

10. Washing the dishes. These save a lot of work when you use them right. Your dishwasher works best when you load it completely and run it right after you use your dishes.

 

 

Big things like pots and pans are usually best hand-washed because they don't fit well in the dishwasher.

Dishes wear out more quickly when washed by machine than by hand because the dishwasher's soap is abrasive, so heirloom china, delicate wine glasses, and other really fragile things should be carefully hand-washed instead.

 

11. Hand-washing dishes: It's much easier to wash your dishes if you do it right after you use them; you will rarely need to soak anything or scrub hard because the food juices won't have a chance to dry and harden.

 

 

Just wet your sponge or scrubber brush with hot water, squirt on some dish soap, wipe each dish (both sides!), and rinse thoroughly with hot water.

If you use the soaking method, picture this: a bucket of brown water with dirt, grease, food particles, millions of germs, and a lot of other things that come off your dirty dishes. Now you know how disgusting (and unsanitary) that soaking water can be. If you need to soak a casserole that has baked-on gunk for ten or fifteen minutes, that's okay, but when you can, it's usually better to just wash the dishes promptly and avoid soaking.

Either way you do it, place the thoroughly rinsed dishes in a clean drying rack and allow to air dry.

Be sure to let your brush, sponge, and dish towel dry between uses to keep them from accumulating germs too (see tips below).

 

12. Fighting fleas. Your best defense against fleas is your vacuum cleaner! Besides not having carpet, that is. Carpet is a breeding ground for fleas (not to mention all the other things it's good for holding). If you have pets, vacuum daily. This will keep them out of the place they are successful in breeding; where there is pet and human dander.

 

 

To kill fleas without using poisons, after each vacuuming, sprinkle borax on your carpets and let it work its way into the carpet backing. You'll never have fleas in the house if you do this. You can find the Borax in the laundry detergent area of grocery stores, usually on the top shelf.

 

13. Walk through your house and complete any remaining room-specific cleaning necessary. These include:

 

 

Emptying trash bins and taking out the trash

Cleaning the kitchen table

Cleaning the microwave

Changing bedsheets, pillowcases, and duvet covers

 

I should have taken pictures of my basement prior to this weekend. I was productive! I used some of your advice in here and it worked well. The real problem is the wife who takes and saves everything.

 

Is that the Neely's problem?

Yawn.... *cracks knuckles*. Time to get up to date.

 

[Ken Aldred]

An English law, which seems appropriate here...

 

It is illegal to keep a pigsty in front of your house (Unless duly hidden).

RE:OMG woman give everyone their money back tell them to keep the books apologize and never come back

Then you can be happy

 

 

I would work with someone if I knew who even has an issue. Everyone knows our email address. and if they have a problem with one of their orders then they can contact us about working out a solution. BUT these people on here posting all these outrageous things about me and my family are really crossing the line and have no place in any of this.

 

IDK what is wrong with these people I have never even met people who act like this. and FYI I had a 4.0 in computer programming in college so stop calling me stupid and saying cruel things.

 

That 4.0 must have come in handy when using a turnkey website creator.

 

You're not stupid because you have bad grammar or a bad website. No, you're stupid because you are trying to run one of the easiest to discover scams in the history of evar.

 

Grab a bunch of images of high-dollar comics, put them into your "store," then when someone orders something, put a reprint or otherwise worthless substitute in. And do all of this using your home address and home phone number. Did you even set up your company as an LLC using a shell corp, or did you put everything in your name?

 

So at the end of the day, you're trying to bait-and-switch knowledgeable collectors across state (and international) borders using the Federal Mail system. I mean, it's one thing to pass off drek as gold on the Home Shopping Network; people that buy from there generally can't tell *(*# from Shinola. But no, you decided to go after people who know more about the hobby than you and Tiny could ever learn. People with money, time and connections and who have a LOT of experience finding scams in the hobby.

 

Yeah, that's just brilliant. I seriously, seriously hope that you have some money tucked away somewhere because a one-income household is going to be hell on however many kids you have living in that doublewide with you
