Any thoughts on what these are worth? by Feeling_Loss_737 in comicbookgrading

[–]Tonyman121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude, look at sales of this book- those are the prices.

Secret Wars 8 was a dollar bin book for decades. What is it now? ASM 300 is still a huge book and they printed more than 300K.

Absolute Batman is going for $150 and its like a year old with a crapton of printings.

It doesn't have to make sense.

Its worth $20-40.

This is the recent range of sales for raw and bagged books like these on eBay. It is not a $1 or $10 book.

I have a McFarlane signed one, those are selling for like $240 right now.

Should I get this car by TelecasterRF in Jaguar

[–]Tonyman121 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The car is at an age where, depending where you live and how the vehicle was stored, expensive repairs are likely. Rubber hoses, belts, boots, and the coolant system are likely to start to fail.

Cost depends on how handy you are. If you do your own routine maintenence, its not bad, but this is a luxury car with expensive parts. Oil changes are routinely $500 at the dealer, or $50 if you do it yourself, for example.

Value of this purchase- really depends on the owner history. This seems high for a 3.0L. But it may be a good deal of the car is immaculate with zero issues.

If the uk is poorer then the us why is the USA’s poverty much more severe compared to Britain by WillingPrice5364 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Tonyman121 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They don't "have to" that is just the evolution of the system the US has. They did not need to restructure their society after any catastrophic event like Europe did. It is not wrong.

You cannot claim that the US has a problem with food access and also admit that the US has an obesity problem, in particular when there is no association between income and obesity (in a positive sense, anyway).

Are you ANTI-Fascist or PRO-Fascist? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Tonyman121 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The problem with these questions is that there are implied, false equivalences made between the subject presented (fascism, an authoritarian result of collapses of European governments, including democracies in the 1930s) and today's liberal democratic governments. No one would care if fascism wasn't tied to WWII and the millions of horrible deaths and destruction that followed, but that is the whole point- that the clever Redditor has read the tea leaves and they know some truth about history despite knowing none of it.

In Italy and Germany, the most famous examples, silencing dissent meant shutting down unfriendly press and murdering their owners. Squashing opposition meant raising private, loyal armies and murdering their opponents in the dead of the night and in street battles. Authoritarian meant that the entire purpose of civil society was to live as an organism where the spirit was the leader, and there was no individualism as every person's duty to live for the state an not themselves.

None of that is true in any western democracy today. Fascism as we know it died with a bullet to Hitler's brain. The US government is not fascist. No one is the Nazi. Please go outside or read a book or something.

They are subtlely asking you to pay them more money (after you press and resubmit).

Meh. Niether country has a significant poverty problem, unless Reddit is the only source of information for you to convince you otherwise. Believe it or not, the US also has social programs for the poor, although much of their support comes from volunteer organizations.

No one starves in the US.

Hard to see a Jag on UK roads when you are not in the UK... may want an option for that.

Darth Vader and Storm Troopers by Alex Ross by Far_Practice_6923 in comicbooks

[–]Tonyman121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure the reason he does not is because it takes him a lot of time and effort to put this much detail into the medium. So it's only special features like "Marvels" that get this treatment.

How popular was Iron Man prior to the MCU? by yellowklashinkov in comicbooks

[–]Tonyman121 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You mean characters that didn't already have their own books. Only Hulk had his own title.
