I'll be taking my leave of CBR in a day or two. I might pop in a time or two, but since I'm ebaying off my entire collection, it'll make it more difficult to pop in too often. Or at all for the comic-related boards. :D

Thanks for the fun, guys, you've always been great. As the saying goes, no goodbyes...only good memories.

Thanks super, it won't be the same for me not coming here as often. The reason is kind of personal, but I'm having very bad financial issues at the moment, and the only thing of value I can trade it are my comics. It's either get rid of the collection, and perhaps get back on my feet, or else face eviction and some other messes.

It didn't help that a mistake by MailOrderComics.com cost me over four hundred dollars I already didn't have either.

That will do it. And again...I may not get a huge discount at my store but I'll always shop by hand. Thats how I do things. Good luck gettin on your feet and hopefully you'll come back.

I'm sorry to hear about that, Ghost. (If I were in that position I'd keep the comics and take my chances... :()

Thanks all. It makes me feel better talking about it.

And Tim, would you really choose living on the street over getting rid of your collection? (I mean, where would you put them where they wouldn't get rained on then if they were out there with you? :D :D )

Hey Ghost do you need to be smacked here. ;)
I have quit comics, I no longer collect and boy sometimes I get the shakes and have the desire but as you money is tight. But instead of posting all the time in the comic threads, I still post here and a few other ones. Still stop by but don't leave. There are many people here who just stay and chat that do not collect comics.
I do wish the best with your money issue, as I said before you are not the only one. Keep you chin up and just try your best. We will light a candle for you. :D

Hey all. Still in the same boat, trying to scrape cash together, but things are looking up. I'm getting some overtime at the job, so that will help a lot.

Someone asked for links to the ebay auctions. I just put some up, here you go. Hope no one minds me linking.

Age of Apocalypse (complete set) (http://cm.ebay.com/cm/ck/1065-29296-2357-0?uid=166761816&site=0&ver=LCA080805&item=6599227298&lk=URL)
Cable (tons of comics) (http://cm.ebay.com/cm/ck/1065-29296-2357-0?uid=166761816&site=0&ver=LCA080805&item=6599226008&lk=URL)
Fantastic Four (huge run) (http://cm.ebay.com/cm/ck/1065-29296-2357-0?uid=166761816&site=0&ver=LCA080805&item=6599224563&lk=URL)

If you are interested, feel free to bid. I usually do not ship worldwide, but if you let me know you are from CBR, I will be happy to make arrangements. :)

There will be many more auctions. I just cannot afford to do very many at a time.

Are you selling both your computer and your comics? If you are, I feel really sad. As a fellow comic-book nerd, I can only inmagine your pain. Best of luck.

Nah, got a cheap comp. But no guarantees about 'net access. :(
