Well for my part, I am bidding on several items now online at Sothebys. If I win them both, then they will be in the $2000 price tag....

who gives a shit? it was a fun thread.
dare i ask, what are you bidding on?

Actually, if I win the bids...they will definitely be around $2500, considering commission. But I also need to address counter bids...so I am looking at $3000. max.

But here, this is what I am bidding on:

Sol, where do you hide your
money? Is it in the bank?

Thanks, cause I'm going
to steal it...</font>

I don't have any. What little I make ends up in book purchases. I live for books. I put it above eating...

I mean I set enough aside to live comfortably, but every time I get paid for a small job, they go towards my passion.

yes money is stupid. but look at all the cool toys you can get with it.

<font size="3" face="System, Small Fonts" color="#400040">
Oh okay, so can I can steal
your books instead and sell
them for a higher price
or something like that?

hmmm.</font>

yo..wtf...elektra and wolverine by yoshitaka amano????

details please

Yep. I picked this up yesterday.
It's OK. Like the Neil Gaiman Sandman collaboration. Greg Rucka does the story. I have yet the need to take a dump to read this. Amano's work has been slipping ever since he launched that ridiculous THINK LIKE AMANO campaign here in New York.

His covers are nice. When he puts effort into the projects:

still sounds interesting..ive been meaning to catch up on Xmen now..it seems like theyve been taking the series in a more serious direction lately

I haven't followed Marvel comics for a while now....But if they get their act together, I just might get into them. I'm mostly Vertigo and Frank Miller. And the alternative stuff...
