I do not price the X-Men 1E holo to take you, Mr Scowling. In fact, I
have selling at that price for a while, although I never post it here. 

I will not, I repeat, I will not cut the price because somebody says the
price is expensive (you have been telling me that all my comic prices
are high) or because somebody is trying to compete with me. If you ask
me why, it's because I believe that what I sell reflects what is going
out there. It may not be cheap, but it is the market price. I am
desperate to sell my comics because I know that if it is not selling
here, I can sell it somewhere else. Sounds like you are desperate to
sell your hologram, Mr Scowling.

It seems to me that you are getting personal with me for some reasons.
Do whatever you want to do, cut the price whatever you want, but I will
keep my price and satisfy those people who buy comics from me. 

I have been straight with everybody, and I will always be. In fact, I
did apologize to you about posting the wrong info about the Platinum
Spawn card and I promise you that I will correct it on my next postings.

Ok, Jim?

Organization: Memorial University of Newfoundland

	I'm looking for the following DC Star Trek comics to complete my
collection:

		Star Trek (latest series) #'s 1 - 18 (especially Peter
	David ones).

		Star Trek: The Next Generation: The Modala Imperative

        #1 
	- this really burns me, as I saw this in a drug store, but had
faith that my direct-market store would get it in, even though they were
behind in orders.  A few weeks later, they went out of business!!  A
word of advice: If your store is behind in their shipments enough so
that you start seeing your comics on a newsstand,  BUY THEM THERE. Now I
can't "let myself" read the Modala Imperative #'s 2-4 until I get this
one.  Not to mention the fact that I got burned this way on ALF #50
(Marvel).  But I digress ...
	- I'll pay guide for 'em if they're mint, and I'd rather they
weren't the newsstand UPC-code versions; though I'm not too fussy.

I agree with Jim on this point 100 %.  Lately there have been many posts
from people selling one or two issues of comics at and bizzarely above guide
prices.  An example: The Spiderman Hologram cover books.  Don't you people
know these are availabe widely at cover price? Why in the world will
someone mail order to you to pay more than they would have to pay at a
comic store? It boggles the mind.
 
>You are not selling at market price.  You are not selling at fair price.

I think that unless one is trading (in which case the values don't really
matter as long as there is a uniform standard) a reasonable prices is 65%
of guide or below.  That is what I have been selling for and I don't look
at any lists that are above that.  Paying cash over the net just isn't
worth the hassle unless you get a significant discount.

It also amazes me that people constantly post near mint prices (again at or
above guide NM) for what are often probably not NM books. Don't you people
realize that the difference between NM and FN is half the money?? For
books from the early seventies, NM is indeed a rarity. (Let me take this 
opportunity to publicly complement Chris Brown on the accurate grading and
unbelievably high quality of the early seventies Marvels he recently traded
me.)

I've got a copy of Space 1999 #6 in fine condition from Charlton,

problem is that I can't find a listing for this in Overstreet's

Yes, THOUSANDS.  That's about 5000.  If you want it, I probably have it.  
I have mostly Marvel from the late 70's and 80's, and a few Silver Age.
I have Byrne X-Men, Miller Daredevil, and CEREBUS.  I also have alternates
including First, Pacific, Comico, and Valiant.

Rather than waste bandwidth posting the entire list, I'll ask you to send
me your wish list.  Chances are I'll have it.

All prices are set using Comics Value Monthly, _BUT_ take 30% off for
Marvels and 40% off everything else.  WHAT A DEAL!!! And, If you buy a 
lot I might be able to make you an even better deal.

Postage, postage, who pays the postage?  You do.  Postage will generally

Um, when did Clive Arno die? As I recall, he was still alive at the end 
of his five issue series. He's probably the only DC character other than
Jerry Lewis who was firmly tied into the mainstream DC universe who had
their own book in the 60s who hasn't been revived, although Mike Tiefenbacher
did submit a proposal for him and Action Boy, although under new superhero
names and costumes as presumably Ideal Toys still has the rights to those.

Keown has gone onto Image Comics where he will be doing something
called The Pitt. Yes, a super hero with all the strengths and weaknesses
of Pittsburgh! The promo pictures make the title character look like a
brown Hulk with claws and long hair.

He was supposed to stick around until #400, but his inability to make
deadlines (and answer the phone, apparently) got him tossed early. Todd
McFarlane's gloating about getting Keown to jump didn't help matters.
PAD discussed this in r.a.c.misc, I think.

So what we have is a "hot" artist who can't make deadlines doing his own 
title. Sounds perfectly like all the other Image titles.
