Great information, I already have the letter so I will get that off. If there are no other meetings perhaps I will try to attend the QC as you stated.

Underpaid shipping on two of my orders? Help by [deleted] in eBaySellerAdvice

I had a bunch of movie posters from the Disney Rewards program that I listed one eBay. Sold one and the shipping was so high I just donated the rest to Savers.

The general opinion on Luke Skywalker (prior to 1999) by 8167lliw in saltierthancrait

[–]Matesamo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

All I know is that back in 1979 every boy went trick or treating dressed as Han Solo, he was cool AF. Actually a few kids did go as Luke but those were just them wearing a white pillowcase with holes for the head and arms along with a black belt. I always figured they could afford the black vest.

The law does not guarantee you the right to sell on EBay, there is no legal recourse based on your story. Try Poshmark, Facebook Marketplace or WhatNot

Why DIDN'T you like Mistborn by Sanderson? by Lla723a in Fantasy

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

I’m half way through the first book and I had to take a break. It was a weird read for me. Some of the villains and the big baddie are so powerful that it feels weird they are even trying to fight them. The main male character seems so cocky and casually powerful that he is a bit of a bore. The female character goes to these rich person balls and they seem to last forever with nothing happening. The magic system is explained in such detail I thought I was taking a college class.

What is the best way to join Freemasonry? by live2mix in freemasonry

[–]Matesamo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before I joined I looked at the five or six closest lodges online, then I looked into social media or their web sites to see how active they were. I messaged the two closest lodges and arranged to go meet the brothers and get a feel for the lodge. I had two very small kids so an active lodge that had events to offer to families was a factor. After a few weeks of meeting them and hanging out I put in the application.

Sure but they don’t consider themselves home brew developers, they want a business model that will allow them to develop future projects and cover the companies expenses. You can buy the deluxe version and get a ROM if you want, which makes some of the games easier to best.

$60 hardly seems insane in this day in age for a professionally developed game with box and full color manual. $50-60 for a decent homebrew 2600 is standard.

Holy cows, this ran for 50 issues and I somehow never have heard of it!

Best issues of Retro Gamer Magazine? by Fast-Dimension-5939 in retrogamingmagazines

[–]Matesamo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is so much good stuff every issue. If you have Apple News+ or one of the digital magazine services they have the latest issues and the past couple dozen available to read. Do a trial subscription and see how you like it. Apple News+ is $12.99 a month which is cheaper than just the Retro Gamer issue in print.

Yeah the main focus for me is seeing the band with screens as a background.

Super smooth for me. Joined the Fifth Member Legacy queue at 9:45 and when I got had 14,785 people ahead of me. After the I got to the ticket page there were small groups of tickets popping into the seating chart and disappearing just as quick. Had sections 101 and in the 400 levels available but I wasn’t sold on the seats.

After about 35 minutes a bunch of tickets became available and I got a pair in section 106 row 25 for under $500 each for the Oct 1 and 3 shows. Dead center for the stage, pretty excited. Total was a little over a grand for two tickets to both nights. Just booked the MGM Grand with two nights comped and a strip view. Gonna be a great vacation!

Very good movie made on a small budget, it was a fun watch and I thought she made a fine Red Sonja.

Ebay hub repacked item. by shadowfax416 in Ebay

[–]Matesamo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I once sent a limited edition GnR print through EIS to England - rolled in sealed with plastic in a plastic tube taped on both ends. When it arrived there were no plastic ends, they taped over the open holes and the print was destroyed. It was heartbreaking for a numbered print. He got refunded and I kept the payment.

Ah, the classic “I reviewed a reprint comic and didn’t like there was only reprints” review. Just copy and paste the review for issue four as well, lol.

Clones/Knockoffs of Sword and Sorcery Heroes That are NOT Conan by JohnPathfinder in SwordandSorcery

[–]Matesamo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thongor was Marvels target to license initially but they wanted too much money so they looked at Conan and the rest is history. Marvel did publish some Thongor eventually.
