| We had a nasty thunderstorm come through yesterday and it caused an electrical fire in one of my local stores. They've been over the top about not taking donations during the pandemic but this was basically the final straw. For what it's worth, they're great people who are really invested in toys and comics. They've been Eisner nominees the past two years (if you want to read an interview) and they've been or will be on a couple of Amazon shows about toys/pop culture. They don't seek that stuff out but it comes to them because people can see that they love the hobby. If you have some spare dollars or know someone who does, this is their GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/f/farpointemergencyfund . They also sell through their website/eBay although I don't know if the fire affected their inventory at all. You can check our their website at http://farpointtoys.com/ Thanks! |

| Just a heads up that you Go Fund Me link has the period attached at the end which causes it not to resolve to the page. | ||

| Here's another short article about the store https://www.kulturepopped.com/post/farpoint-electrocution And kind of ironically, they found out today (maybe yesterday) that they're Eisner nominees again this year. |

| I don't know what comics may be for sale, but Farpoint is going to have their now-regular Facebook sale on Sunday afternoon if anyone wants to check it out. https://www.facebook.com/events/1196310574049450 |

| @xkonk, I have looked at other online Live sales and not found anything i was interested in buying. but this one was very interesting the last time I saw this (of course you stole my book out from under me) (truth be told, I saw the video the day after the sale so the book was actually sold 24 hours before I saw the sale, lol). Anyway, if you update this whenever there is a live sale, I think it might generate interest int heir store. for anyone that has not seen or heard these guys in action, they sound genuine, like folks you would spend a saturday with. thanks for the heads up. | ||

Picture from the GoFundMe page. My favorite part of this picture is that Joker had his hand blurred out. I think he was flipping off the camera. |

| @xkonk what am i doing wrong? (for the record I suck at facebook) All i see is a still pic and when I click on it it takes me to their page but no live event. I just upgraded to newer facebook software today, could that be the problem? is there a link you can post to the event that is going on right now? |

| @xkonk this link is working but keeps buffering. I will try and stick with it and hope it improves but you're right they don't seem to be prepared to sell anything. I will wait and see. | ||

| It was buffering a lot at the beginning but then cleared up pretty well. They sold some things, including a few comics, and I think there were things left unclaimed. I assume they'll keep doing some kind of sale every Sunday. | ||

| that's cool but by the time it stopped buffering for me, there were no comics being sold. I will keep an eye on this in case something pops up that i am looking for. Thanks @xkonk. | ||

| These things tend to catch on quickly and then flare out, so I wanted to share the gofundme again https://www.gofundme.com/f/farpointemergencyfund I gave the store a few books to sell as a donation. In their last livestream they said they would use them when they do a comics sale next, so hopefully that's something to look forward to soon. |

| Weird. They didn't sell any comics today but they did show some that they'll be selling later. They said comics will be the next 'themed' sale they do, but it might not be for a couple weeks. | ||

| Unfortunately, too late for me. I wake up around 3am and am getting ready for bed at that time. Unless i'm the only person from the west coast that is interested (which makes their start time make sense) in their sales (and hopefully helping them out by purchasing from them) Maybe they should reconsider their start time. It would be great if they could start at 3pm eastern, after all it is Sunday. thanks for the update/warning, I guess I will have to wait for next time. | ||

| @sportshort I think today is a special time, not a new normal. They're working on whiskey sours right now but as far as sales it sounds like it's going to be a lot of Star Wars https://www.facebook.com/farpointtoys/videos/628575901201983 |

| I think @sportshort might be the only one really following this so I'll cut back on the updates. But for those interested it sounds like they're moving to 5 PM Eastern on Sundays for the Facebook streams, which will continue after they reopen the store. They also just posted a raffle for a Daredevil #4 (CGC 1.8) if anyone wants to throw a few bucks at that. You can follow them in general at https://www.facebook.com/farpointtoys | ||
