For me, if I got the money I would spend it on liquor and hookers and then waste the rest.

Well, you can have it all in a funny book kind of way if you can nab a book like this one then:     

 

Well, this "zoom" image of theirs now is definitely a lot better than their magify glass.

Yes, most definitely a whole ton better as you can actually see everything clearly now.  

Definitely happy to hear that they are listening and responding accordingly.

Yes and it was sold on these boards shortly after. The poster was showing an example of what their scans use to look like.

A bug I encountered and I didn't see anyone mention it . On some books when I click the zoom button I get a no picture available message even though the pictures are available in smaller resolution .

link to an example ?

[Lukesaurus]

Happened on some Action Comics books , I don't have the links , was doing some late night browsing yesterday . Perhaps they fixed it now . 

[telerites]

I still give up on searching.  The limited number of filters is obscene and so many with no images.  

I remember at least a couple of folks including Richard Evans, Greg Reece, Shortboxed, and some others that have come on here and asked members for their input on design and functionality.

Hey!

[SuperBird]

Is there a way to put in batch bids, or is that feature gone?

Hey!

Since you are a lawyer by reputation, I think you should know what do about copyright infringement.

I like this book and have it on my watch list(and yes, I already know I missed the boat on this one, but it fits my “buy high, sell low” mantra) In coming down to the wire on the Heritage auction, I am reviewing the playing field, and I just noticed what looks like foxing on the back cover. That is not necessarily a killer for me, but I think it’s one of those things about which hobbyists have definite opinions

I doubt the foxing will impact the price.  It is on the back cover and about 1/2 the people don’t even know comics have a back cover (I am being hyperbolic folks) and the front cover colors pop.

True.  I just wish whoever that cover artist was would have learned to draw.

Some people may consider your comment to be heresy, but I myself don’t care for a lot of his work.

Actually, I can't take credit for it. 

This is the original quote from George Best, the great British soccer player:

"I spent a lot of money on booze, birds, and fast cars. The rest I just squandered."
