I'm surprised that both husband and wife looks not super old, they got a big group of kids and most of them are teenagers. Are they all adopted, or did they rent them for the videos?

A good little cross-over thread.
Basically, the TLDR is that a woman blew 35,000 bucks on a Disney vacation that sucked, and people pointed out in the thread that the non-Disney alternatives were much cheaper, and obviously higher quality.

eBay is likely running the bots for them. They 100% have had “auction influencers” for high ticket items in the past.
So I was checking out the current grading rate on the one collectible that I feel can legit be graded - comics. Comic grading has existed for decades and it’s a pretty solid scale that’s used.
I wasn’t aware the pricing had gotten soooo outrageous. I see why every moron wants to add 150$ to the price of even the lowest graded book… that’s what they are charging!
It’s a minimum of $25 a year to be a member, and it goes up from there. After that you’re paying $35 or $80 depending on the value of the book in question, plus a $15 fee if you want to see it back this year, and $5 for your digital invoice. So unless you’re grading super low value books you’re looking at a minimum of $120 for your first book and $85 for each additional one, plus the shipping costs each way. Realistically you’re not getting out for less than $150 or so by the time you get the book there and back.

Very true. As far as retro gaming collecting Atari is shit. There are maybe 15-20 maximum Atari 2600 games seriously worth playing out of 350. Because of how simple the games are spending more then $20 on a game is just flat out dumb. I used to collect for the system (sold my collection off semi recently) and you can't really get more then a half hour tops out of the best of Atari games. Just download Stella and find a rom dump and you don't have to spend a dime.

I guess this is just my personal pet peeve but “graphic novels” are just comic books and anyone calling them “graphic novels” are just people pretending to be cultured. “Oh, these aren’t ‘comic books’; they’re graphic novels.” Just call them comics and get off your high horse

What bugs me is seeing comics with lazy, boring or ugly art. Defenders of these books will say “I don’t care about the art: it’s the story!” Read a fucking book you mongoloids, if the artwork isn’t important.
For some, it appears that comics are just books for lazy and/or unimaginative people.

I shouldn't say this since I like manga, but a lot of modern American comics have that shitty Tumblr art shit. like art that a 12 year old could do. I hate seeing "geeks" buying some fuckin manga wannabee art with "queer" creators behind it. the stories are boring, the art is bland, and they want 30 bucks for it.

They are graphic novels because of the format in this case since they are trade paper backs and omnibuses. There was a brief time when there was an actual graphic novel moment when comics were published with book binding and targeted more advanced stories but the term got ruined when it was applied to books which had appeared in single comic issues like Watchmen and The Dark Knight Returns. The only comics deserving of the term graphic novel in the artistic sense are From Hell and Cerebus which both have the writing quality and complexity of a true novel.
I hate these weeb zoomers which enter comics and expect comic art to be manga/anime coomer garbage. Nothing pisses me off more then when these zoomer weebs say classic comic artists like Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, George Perez, Frank Quitley, ect are ugly because they aren't "attractive" like manga is designed to be. The best modern artists working out of DC right now are like all south americans (esp brazilians) and eastern Europeans my favorite being Bilquis Evely
Though for American artists Sean Murphy is quite a good batman artists

I just like manga. When I read Americans comics, I just don’t want piss poor manga rip off art. It looks like shit and feel hollow. Like “doood I kind of know what anime is so…I’m gonna try to draw some”. All the Weeb art looks like something from “how to draw manga” book.

Retro gauging pricing still continues
Whoever did this really dislikes Dreamcast owners or is trying to boost eBay ad sponsors. There’s no excuse for this nonsense.

What's horrifying is that you know LOTR is going to end up with a lot more entries itt when that shitty Amazon series launches.

You can’t really compare it that way though.
Americans don’t pay Swedish taxes, 25% sales tax, have Swedish waiting lists, and Swedish doctors can’t get sued.
And of course Swedes may have plenty of niggos, but they don’t have millions of illegals who consume public ressources without contributing.

On your first point I was getting ready to pull sales, federal, and state taxes for different locations, but your final one is kind of the most important one there tbh.
As an apology for getting political, please enjoy the following:

Troydan is consooming vidya again.
This time, it’s the PS5’s turn:
I doubt though that he made that same face after realizing that Sony still has no games to play in current year.

Here's my contribution to the thread. Look at all this packaging. This was for a single ballpoint pen.
