1/18/2016 Topic: Ruk's list-Who has the best collection deadone	Hi ruk, My collection has undergone many changes since I joined this list many moons ago. Unfortunately, over the past year I have sold or given away to relatives almost all of my books. To keep with the integrity of the list, I must officially request my name be removed from it. You do great work and it has been a real pleasure watching it grow.

1/23/2016 Topic: Did you keep your old username? deadone	Is it possible for the admins., if contacted, to change someones username, if they were so inclined of course? I did this a long time ago, but that was before the big change way back.

I enjoy being with my family (when we have time to be together), watching movies, hanging with friends, learning languages and traveling. I also enjoy hiking and camping. TEX .... long walks on the beach, etc. etc. etc.
2/7/2016 Topic: SPAM Question deadone	We have all probably noticed the HUGE amount of spam being posted in the new forum lately. I know it happens, so my question is this: Is it better to report these posts to a moderator for quicker removal or should we just let them be and assume they have already been noticed?
2/7/2016 Topic: SPAM Question deadone	Oxbladder wrote: Speaking from experience it is best to report the posts to a moderator. I messaged two admins in this case and the posts have been removed. There was just too many to report each one. In most cases though reporting them as they show up, if they are in smaller numbers tends to work well. The mods and admins are just not around all the time so reporting them helps out in getting them removed sooner. I thought the same, and reported two or three in the hopes that the others would be seen and taken care of. There was just such an onslaught of spam these last few days, I thought I'd ask to stop from becoming a pest myself.

2/18/2016 Topic: Examples of various grades deadone	KingOfOxford wrote: Hey yall I was wondering if there is a place here or maybe someone knows of another location to find examples of different grades for comics. I know the obvious mint, nm+ but the more subjective grades like 9.0-9.6 is what I'm interested in. Some of my books have multiple slight spine stress with no color break while others have one glaring crease with minor color break. In both instances the cover is otherwise flawless. Any help is really appreciated. Here's a good grading tutorial series on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLza7d39m0FViqSPlk69F7SjSBNEdm9lqA Well worth the time.

3/3/2016 Topic: Unrealistic pricing on books for sale deadone	Yep, best to just move on. It's not really necessary to tell someone what to do with their things.

7/5/2016 Topic: Where do I start? deadone	cur1ousbrun3tt3 wrote: No, these are not graded. I did that so that I could have an Excel list to export with the highest graded values on them. I have changed them all back to the initial rating that the site gives them, 9.4 Near Mint. I will have to take the higher-valued ones into a comic book shop this week and figure it out. One of them in particular, X-Factor #75, comes up as 10.0 Gem Mint $4,800 and under Facts says it's a KEY issue. I'll probably search through and find ones like this to take into the store. I think you need to look at those values for X-Factor #75 again. I assume you actually meant to type X-Factor #6. The guide has the 9.8 Graded value for this book at over $400 more than it actually sells for when compared to actual past sales. Past Ebay Sales For X-Factor #6 CGC 9.8 I would suggest doing a lot more research on the difference between raw and graded comics and on how to accurately assess the condition of a comic book. Also, the guide is a great place to get the "feel" for the worth of a comic book, but using completed sales from ebay (as I did in the example above) is a free an easy way to find out what most comic books are currently selling for.

Whenever you get a stack of your "high value books" you think are worth real money, you should look on eBay and see what they have sold for to get a realistic price. edited by Jokerbangedquinn on 7/5/2016 edited by Jokerbangedquinn on 7/5/2016 HR, you beat me to it by seconds.
