I listed a run of comics "#1-113 + THIS BOOK and EXTRAS." I got a decent sum for it but I felt it could have gone for more. I just checked and the same manner of auction listed as "#1-100 + extras " sold for nearly double what I got out of mine.

I don't think so, based on similar listings over the last few months they value was in the books. I was just too specific in my listing. Looks like I will be generalizing a bit more to get better search hits.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.
Yeah, a search for "COMIC BOOK #100" wouldn't have turned up your listing even though it had it.

If you don't want to overpollute your listing title, just make sure to get all the SEO stuff in the descripton; I think eBay checks that too for searches. So you can fill up the description with every search tearm you can think of, like, "includes landmark issues COMIC #50, COMIC #100" etc.

Yeah I feel dumb as poo poo. I mean, I broke even on it so it's not the worst but the Ebay fee puts me into the red. So that sucks. I'm honestly shocked at how well this is going, 36 listings in a month and only one non payer so far.

I'm not really a fan of Kevin Smith, but I kinda wish Stan Lee had moved in with him, he's got enough money and respect for the man that he wouldn't have taken advantage of the man in his last years.

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.
They're taking my grandmother off life support tomorrow. The only reason they didn't do it today is because my cousin's birthday is today and they didn't want that to happen on the same day. So that loving sucks and I've been drinking.

I just got word we're not doing it today. I'm not sure why. But I think it's because it's such a loving hard decision to make for my mother and her brothers. There probably holding out hope even though the doctors have said that it is hopeless. I don't blame them. I don't know if I can make the decision when inevitably it becomes my decision to make for my parents. It's really kind of hosed-up that we are expected to make these kind of decisions at some point. When my grandfather went last year, we actually were holding out hope the whole time because they're actually was a lot of signs that he would recover and then he just passed suddenly. In a way though, I suppose I was easier on my father because he didn't have to make a decision and he still was with his father the whole time so he got to say goodbye. Probably made it a lot easier since there was no push for decision, he was spending a lot of time with him, and there was hope. Actually that last part probably just made it worse but still.

Thanks for the kind words, everyone. I really am not good with dealing with death. And a lot of that has to do with my own deep-seated fears with mortality. And my disbelief in an afterlife. So this is never easy for me and it's always very stressful. And it is the second funeral I'll have to go to this year and we lost my grandpa last year. So it's just seems to be happening so often.

Honestly, though the situation just keeps getting more hosed up. My mother and her brother decide not to take my grandmother off life support and just let it run until the medicine keeping her alive no longer works. They don't want to pull the plug. They can't bring themselves to do that and they know the medicine will wear off on its own. And they just see that as more natural.

But it kind of seems wrong.

It is, but grief isn't rational and nothing I can say about my experience caring for those tires of patients during my time working in ICU will help you or your parents. See if the hospital had grief Consolers you can speak with. I'm so sorry for the pain your going through.
