I have shipped over 3000 comics with no major issues. Also my comic signed comics come with a lot of cool bonuses. Like hologram sereial numbers on each comic with matching ones on the CoA's. They are also part of a limited edition set so that that their value stay high and get higher with time. I think I did very well putting together a site for browncoats to come get everything in one spot. Again sorry.

Your post is not an announcement - it is an advertisement to buy those signed copies.

There is a place to put your advertisements and I would thank you to use the trading post thread.

Thank you.

If I said "Come buy my signed adam balwin comics now" and that was it. It would be an ad, but the post was made to give people a heads up that adam had agreed to sign with 258. There is a diffrence.

But nooooooooooooo, everybody has to play high and mighty with marco.I have met marco(he as I are fellow NYC browncoats) and I can tell you from only meeting him receintly, he is a good guy.I have had no problem with recieving my merchandise(and I just met him 2 weeks ago) So,sure if you want to post other stores,that's fine,but enough with the bashing.He is a Browncoat.

I know you haven't come out and said anything like that it's just the impression I get from your posts. They come off as "haha I know you guys will eat this up so I'll sell you anything I can to make money off of you". The posts about every Firefly/Serenity item you have for sale aren't helping. Also that you seem to refuse to post to the marketplace portion of the site isn't winning you any points.

Personally I went to things from another world as well for my comics. I could be totally wrong about you, but if there's a chance I'm right then I'm not giving you my money. I'm in this thing for the love of the show, characters and people involved. Not money.

I understand, Nothing I can do but do what I do. I can tell you I was a fan of the show since day one with the Train Job. I am also a memember of the New York City browncoats. Also, I post in the forum all the time, not just posts about my shop. I also give things away free things to browncoats who order from my ship in their packeges. I have been putting in 2-3 free promo cards with every shippment since I got the promo cards, I shipped free serenity sells sheets with every order ( I am not selling them on ebay for $2-$5 a pop like everyone else either. You can look at the glass half empty and choose not to shop at my store. I also asked Keith RA DeCandido to sign all my copies of the serenity book and not charging a penny extra for the book ( he is a memember of the NYC browncoats to ). I also worked very very hard and spent a lot of money to get the cast to sign the comics, so that browncoats who could not get a chance to meet any cast members could join in on the fandom. I didnt want to see people getting taken advantage of on Ebay buying fake autograph stuff. Also I think I have been very informitive to a lot of browncoats who have never got comics, action figures or trading cards. Geting them all the info they need to make an informed dission. Of course I will make money on this as well, but it also costs a lot of money to.
