Yup, last weekend I flogged over twenty years worth of the galaxies greatest and a complete run of the Judge Dredd Megazine. The question of storage had been dogging me for a couple of years, and the birth of my daughter pretty much sealed the fate of my collection. It's actually quite liberating to ditch your prized collection and I'm chuffed with all the space I've made. So thanks to Paul for the cash and LMS for putting us in touch. Whether I'll keep up with the subscription is still up for debate. I really expected big things from Rennies last Dredd but it left me feeling cold. I'll see where he takes this latest story arc before making my mind up. Anyway, thanks to Tharg for the thrills and the board for all the time I've wasted here over the past 4 years. Maybe I'll be back? Cheers!

Help!!!! I was talking with a member of the board a month or so ago who was interested in buying all my 2000ads and Megazines for about 200 quid. Unfortunately, recent family events led to me been unable to finalise the sale and it never went through. So if you were the guy near Leeds that wanted the collection and are still interested then please get in touch. I'm really sorry but I've completly forgotten your name (was it chris?!?) and have lost your email. Sorry!

God it's been months since I last visited the board, let alone posted on it. Fatherhood and my Nintendo DS have pretty much taken up all my spare time. Anyway the reason I popped back in for a look was to see what you guys made of the latest Dredd story arc. The artwork is shite but the story is cracking. As for which character dies, well it pretty much looks like all of them at the minute. And did Rennie have to ask John to let him massacre his supporting characters? Anyway, nice to be back, even if it's only for today. See you around.

I'm 2 months into fatherhood and the one thing that is becoming rapidly clear is that I simply do not have enough room to house my bulging 2000ad collection. I'm a bit reluctant to flog the lot on eBay and don't want to break the collection up. Soooooo....if any one on the board is interested in owning the entire run of the Megazine to date and 2000ad from issue 255 then drop me an email. I'm not looking to charge a fortune, infact I just want to swap the damn lot for a PSP, so if you can take them off my hands for about 200 quid then let me know. I'll also listen to any other serious offers. If you then want to break the collection up on eBay then that's up to you. As I said, I just can't be arsed doing it!

Due to the arrival of my first child, and the lack of space I now have, I've decided to put my entire run of Dredd Megazines on eBay, rather than have them stuck in the loft gathering dust. But what's a fair price for the collection? I can't be arsed breaking it up and flogging individual issues, so could somebody make a suggestion for a reserve price. Ta!

Wonder what would happen to 2000AD?http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4182455.stm">

Anybody whose got an email account will no doubt have come across a 419 Scam in their inbox at some point. These guys make a living out of scamming the scammers. This one being amongst my favorites!

Has anybody else experienced problems with the FSF bookclub? I'm still awaiting the arrival of my 4th order which would've seen the end of my commitment. I placed the order in August. Had to wait until September for it to be dispatched. And now we're in October and it still hasn't shown up. The club are after me for not paying for items I never even received. Their attitude seems to be one of "well you prove that the items never arrived"!!!! How do you prove something hasn't arrived? Madness. The more cynical side of me thinks it could be a smart club tactic to prevent me from canceling my membership until it actually appears. By which time I've already been sent 2 further unwanted books. My advice, stay clear of book clubs. They're a nightmare to get out of, even when you've met your commitment.

The great 2000AD clear out continues. If anybody fancies snapping up a bargain at the last minute then check out the following link before mid morning tomorrow. And next week I'll be listing more stuff, Judge Child Quest Vols 1, 2 & 3, definitive editions and other random Titan and Hamlyn collections. If you're looking for anything then give me a shout. Ta'

Does anybody know what mint copies of these are worth? I've got a couple I'm thinking of listing on eBay but don't want to let them go too cheaply. I begrudge having to flog them in the first place.

Okay I might not have jumped in at the deep end and put my progs & megs up yet, but it's a start. Keep an eye out for more 2000AD related merchandise to follow ;)

Yep, I know I've toyed with the idea of getting shut of my collection before but this time due to circumstances I really, really want to get rid. So if anybody seriously wants a full run of The Judge Dredd Megazine & 2000AD from 255 to 420 (with gaps) 420 to present (complete) then email me with an offer. Whether with cash or simply suggest a trade. The only conditions are, I won't split the collection so don't go emailing me for single issues. And you've got to be willing to collect, although I can meet half way on this.

Cool, I came out as Wolverine. So c'mon, who are you?

Nothing to do with 2000ad, but the new Faithless album is brilliant. Simply one of the best I've listened too. Just wanted to share my enthusiasm with my fellow boarders. Ta'

So when did Demonizer get banned? What did he finally do to push Wake over the edge? And who the hell was he?

Can't believe some poor sod has had to result to selling this amazing collection, 27 Chronicles of Judge Dredd GNs. I've bidded, but reckon as it's too good to miss I'd share the opportunity. Besides, I've already go t a load of them ;)

Any subscribers still missing this weeks prog?

Has anyone else fallen foul of shill bidders on ebay? I've recently sold The Day the Law Died CD and the winning bidder paddyscott_007 has failed to respond to my invoice, reminder and polite emails. Anyway I checked out his feedback profile and the same names appear over and over again all leaving positive feedback. When you look at the profiles for these bidders you find the same thing again. The few names that only appear once usually have left a neutral or negative feedback. It's really pissed me off as I know one or two of the boarders bided on this item :(

Just finished reading the first Losers story arc and f*ck it's bloody good, one of the best comics I've read in a long time. Can't wait to get stuck in to book 2, just wonder how long it's gonna be until it's collected.
