Never so much have I seen on these boards before!

You must not hang out here very much.

 

I will say that art butthurt is better because, hey, it's one-of-a-kind.

Have you never BEEN to the CGC forum before?

[Jimmy Linguini]

I wish instagram and google + didn't exist for comics, I prefer when the butt hurt comes to the CGC boards and complains about CGC stuff. The dumbest complaints get a line of guys agreeing with you - we need more CGC board drama yo!

In reading through the MB drama I was reminded of our last self-proclaimed shiller in the comics sales forum, Hustruck, and I couldn't but help feeling a bit sorry for him, and thinking if only he had chosen to sell art instead of slabs, he might have avoided the HOS.

 

Hustruck's other failing, of course, was that he wasn't sitting on millions of dollars of slabs that everyone was desperate to get....that didn't help him either.

Thanks folks. Worthwhile contributions to the debate. Not.

Exactly my feelings

 

There are people that are going to excuse this... Now what are their reasons ?

 

1 - one group will support him to win favor

 

2 - another group will support him in an effort to downplay how bad this is in an effort to rationalize the price that they paid for art

 

3 - another group will support him in an effort to downplay this so they can dump a few things before the POSSIBLE - market adjustment

 

 

No matter what anyone wants to convince you. Your "things" are only worth what someone else is willing to pay. If you remove the shill bidding that got you to pay for your stuff at whatever price you paid, then you are looking at a substantial loss as there will be no shill bidders helping you along when you go to sell.

Is that policy, assuming it is as simple and unqualified as you present it, applicable to all of HA's auctions?

[Funnyslover]

Yes. Look at the T&A.

 

[RockMyAmadeus]

My butt was hurt the other day when I sat on it doing extreme chair sitting.

[crassus]

Yes. Look at the T&A.

 

So you are saying that all of HA's auctions can be shilled, yes?

Leaving work in 15 minutes. Butt hurts after a day sitting at the computer.

It's been that way as long as I can remember. Pretty much anything goes. That could be the new moto for Heritage. Hell, could have been their moto all along for that matter.
