I've created my first Ebay listing - and I couldn't resist telling the board.

It's a rather tatty around the edges Prog 2 - and it's even missing a page!

I know - my selling technique leaves a lot to be desired.

Still, there it is.

Ah... but think how much you could increae teh value of that Prog 2 if you had some kind of special array to hold it in!

Modelled here by my beautiful girlfriend:

This thread wins the "joke I laughed at out loud and then couldn't possibly in a million years explain what was so funny to all the other computer users who were suddenly all looking at me funny" award!

To get the triple-whammy, you now only have to be ejected from a building by Gillian Anderson's bodyguards.

to get you on the road to MILLIOINS. i have placed a bid. if i win there you go.if someone outbids me, then at least you got slightly more for it.

that is the funniest pic post this week. BRILLANT.

I've just listed one as well, plus some other progs. My prog 2 is complete in Good+ condition (spine tears) and I've started the auction at ?29.99.

Is this what's known as a "pimp-hijack"?

A "pimpjack", if you will.

Better than a new thread and it doesn't detract from your copy being much cheaper than mine.

Having everything condensed on one thread also increases the chances of Tarantino drowning in his own seminal fluid.

Wake - you pimpjacking maniac - could you point me in the direction of a definition of the comic grading scheme, please?  (You know, what defines Good+ and all that.)

I'm about to sell progs 3-500, and I suppose I should rate them correctly.

Here's the one I use.

Code     Grade     Description
M    Mint    Perfect in every way, as printed (minted), rather than as delivered/bought. Shiny staples. No manufacturing defects. No creases. An extremely rare grade.
NM    Near Mint    Near perfect with only one or two very minor flaws present due to handling or printing/binding process. Permissable defects: slight stress by staples; minute corner creases; small binding or printing faults.
VF    Very Fine    A very presentable copy with good eye appeal. Accumulation of very minor defects / light paper discoloration, with very minimal surface wear. Permissable defects: small corner creasing; very minor corner, edge, or spine wear; slight staple discolouration; up to half and inch (13mm) light cover crease.
FN    Fine    Defects more apparent, but still presentable. Lightly soiled, edge wear, spine stress & creases noticeable at arms length. Average copy, read a few times.
VG    Very Good    Slightly below average copy. May have combination of creases & small tears or small piece missing, tanning pages - general soiled copy but still intact. Permissable defects: very small missing corner pieces, minor tape repair; crosswords and mail coupons filled out.
G    Good    A complete & intact, but more heavily soiled copy, with multiple defects. Permissable defects: bad creases; rusty staples; small pieces may be missing; interior pages may be tanned but not brittle.
FR    Fair    Worn copy with heavy multiple defects and small to moderate pieces missing. May have dry (brittle) paper at edges.
PR    Poor    Very worn with possibly missing page or pages / panels.May have low paper quality - usually brittle interior paper / covers.
