We are like the Wu Tang Clan... "We're for the Children" :) - - so, despite their poorly planned and horribly executed business, we wanted to give them a few dollars.

We sold about $2,000 in books at $1 each in a yard sale before we decided to sell the rest of the books (about 12-13 long boxes) for $450 total. In So Cal, it's very common for comic shops like The Comic Bug (in Manhattan Beach) to have "fill a box" sales (lots of modern Marvel, DC and older run books of mainstream characters like Spider-Man, X-Men, Batman, etc.) for what boils down to $0.10 to $0.25 per comic (so in my mind, that sort of voids the hearsay of others saying the buy all / any books at $0.25-$0.50+. Getting rid of the long boxes alleviated the waste of space to store 'em and if an "investment" I'd be better off taking the proceeds and buying one good book or original art than holding onto thousands of books that would take months if not years to sell to maximize profit potential.

I, personally can't hold my breath and wait 'til something I want to happen, won't ever happen, being in the comic business (I used to sell at conventions in the early 1980's, so have nearly 50 years experience), so I treat comics like I would a stock market portfolio and have to establish win goals and loss limits. I'd rather dump a ton of mediocre books for cash or trade and use the proceeds to reset the investing clock and buy something that will go up at a greater pace than sit on stagnant books that either depreciate or follows the rules of "supply and demand" where nobody wants my trash :) so it sits forever

You're welcome. Thanks for the Feedback !!!

Thank You! I found a good strategy to get rid of books no comic shop would want to buy from you at a "reasonable" price to amp up proceeds first, then bring the remnants to a LCS or donate them.

Ah, yes. Stealing. That's the way to go. /s

@TheEnterthedreaming lol calling downloading games that are literally 20 years old and unable to be bought anywhere except used game stores "stealing" you sure are bright aren't you? You're really smart

@@theodorejenkins6066 thanks for the strawman argument. You said, “Good you can still read anything you want to online for free.” Stealing copyrighted works and “reading them for free” is indeed against the law. The video is about comics, your first paragraph is about stealing comics. That’s the topic at hand, not video games. But since you are the one that brought up video games and seem to want to talk about them, it’s also illegal to download 20 year old games you cannot get anymore. A copyright is a legal protection and gives the copyright holder the rights to do with their content as they please. Even if that means you cannot continue playing a game you liked from 20 to 40 years ago. Don’t believe me? Go talk to a copyright lawyer and get back to me.

@TheEnterthedreaming here's an idea. I don't care about breaking the law LOL have fun with that boot in your mouth. I hope the cops appreciate the footjob. The only people that care about breaking laws with no victims are just cowards. Not even the cops care not even the copywrite holders care. You're behaving like SpongeBob in that one episode where he steals a balloon and asks the cops to lock him up and even they laugh at him for being such a scaredy cat. LoL 🐈🐈🐈

@TheEnterthedreaming you're literally SpongeBob from the episode where even the cops laugh at him for being such a goody two shoes that he asks them to lock him up for stealing a balloon. Also it's not stealing at all even a little bit to download something. Stealing involves taking something from someone else and leaving them without that thing. There are many many many many different studies done that address this concept and explain how people like me would never have paid for the thing in the first place so it's not a lost sale and also people like me often times recommended other people to buy things so we actually increase sales overall a lot of the time. Educate yourself if you're going to get this involved in this topic you should research it more. Your ideas are outdated and wrong.

Instinctually the first emotional flash was to be defense minded and check to see if he was okay, followed by a lecture of the dangers of pushing people unexpectedly over the edge into the pit below and how wrong it was for so many reasons, especially picking g on a younger child and one they don’t even know created less reason for such rough if not violent horseplay.

Bruce Chandler is the voice artist and he’s based out of the Los Angeles area with arou d 50 years experience on-air (radio) and hindreds of TV commercials. He’s searchable via Google and is a well known talent.

Yeah they were extremely demanding and impatient with him. It’s one thing asking someone to draw or sign something but at least have some manners to talk to them a little bit and treat them like a person instead of a thing that can only create stuff for you to eventually sell

I co-wrote the commercial script and created the “It’s Pantastic” tagline as well as developed some of the Product’s USP (unique selling positions / propositions) often touted on D2C (direct to consumer) commercials (infomercials). The couce over talent is Bruce Chandler, he’s a professional voice artist.

Ele nunca desenhou nada, o desenhista era o Steve Ditko.

​@@Dante-Dev-FullStackno começo era ele que dwsenhava, pensa que antes dele ser o Stan Lee, ele trabalhava sozinho vendendo as historias dele pra banca de jornal

Stan Lee (born Stan Lieber) dabbled in illustration but found his calling as a writer, where Stan Lee’s brother, Larry Lieber became an accomplished artist, working with his brother Stan at Marvel comics. Stan used to draw simple doodles for fans who knew his storied past for fun, disclosing he’s not an artist but used to like to try to draw. He’s done a lot of sketches over the years, all of similar fun quality.
