You happen to already be there, money burning a hole in your pocket, and the assortment of books do maintain the impression those others ones might have been there.... if only you got there sooner...

I remember the FF #2 had a stain/white mark on the lower bottom of the cover. Im looking for pics to post if I can find them. The Captain america had a really bad spine roll that I had pressed and cleaned but it was still kinda evident. Im sure they are cracked and sold to a boardie already. Enjoy my comics boardies.....nice and free for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very inappropriate remark. Now I remember you, you are the guy that wanted to meet up with a boardie at a con(or Phil's parking lot) and fight not long ago.

With people acting or hinting that my story is made up and teaming up a bit yeah my books could very well already be in your collection or someone else's on these boards. Please spare me your future comments about how honest and amazing everyone on here is. Complete BS. And I offered to meet the person who made a remark to me in person to talk man to man because He called me a D-bag and was acting tough behind his computer. Plain and simple.

No offense but a d-bag's true colors will eventually come out and this place has a pretty good track record of weeding them out of here. There are many great people here, honest, and trustworthy and they are by far the majority. If you think so little of the boards continue to kick it on Craigslist. And FTR you were acting like a d-bag in that thread, going off half-cocked without educating yourself as to what was going on. You were right there acting like a keyboard warrior yourself and was instigating and defending an indefensible position.

You were right there acting like a keyboard warrior yourself and was instigating and defending an indefensible position. I'm a bit confused. Is this about this thread or about that thread. Why are you digging into another topic. If you have an issue with anything I said or did in that thread please make a comment towards me there I'll be more than happy to respond......there not here. This thread is to help people be aware of something....the dangers of meeting comic collectors on CL. I know tons of people who use CL to buy, sell and trade. Hence my post. So if you have an issue with me f'n take it elsewhere dude. If you have nothing positive to add to this then don't say anything. just read, educate yourself and stay quite. Nice and quite. And cheer for me to be weeded off these boards. Unfortunelty I'm going nowhere. Next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I made that latter comment because earlier a couple people wanted to hint that this story is made up. It's 100% real and can happen to anyone. I'm only trying to make people aware. Period.

But, seems like you are the only one who needs to "educate" yourself on the do's and don'ts of dealing on CL and associated dangers. Most here know those. I could care less if you stay or go, I'd prefer you stay as your ramblings are amusing. Now I'll be quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about his post saying he wouldn't be surprised a wonderful boardie stole them, and are smiling while reading the thread. Many people have tried to help in this thread. The OP's attitude is way out of line. 01TheDude, porcupine48 and Semicentennial 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
