Quote:Originally Posted by Darkseid_of_town Mechanics deal in science. That's how context works. A chef is not an authority on how to prepare food. Cooking is a skill - not a science. Again, this is how context works. You would say "yes", and be wrong. Objective spectators would say no. Did you even read the definitions you posted, or just trolling the 1 line in the last one...? Authorities have objectives that they do order/demand. Again, it's called "context". It matters. In the context of mechanics, science has mechanical engineering authority. Food prep doesn't. Comic book grading doesn't. As talented as Mr. Borock is, he can grade a comic book, and anyone is free to disagree with the number he chooses. Neither person can be incorrect. You see this disparity even between the 2 largest grading groups. There is no authority. |

| except that isn't all Mr Borock does or knows. Mechanics actually deal in science, the application and understanding of many intersecting areas of knowledge.j A chef is absoloutely an authority on how to prepare food...having a concise knowledge of how heat and cold, texture and handling all affect a given food. that is science...knowing if you beat egg whites to stiff peaks by combining air, is how to make a merinque, but if you overbeat that mixture it will collapse as the air escapes it. get it to peak perfectly and you can use a torch to heat the edges causing them to carmelize, and appear baked....more science. Then chilling it quickly so the air does not escape, more science. Again this is how context works..using science and knowledge to perform a task. I would say yes, again and again, with only you saying I am wrong. As for the people at CGC and CBCS they are authorities..they combine knowledge in many specialized areas along with skills to perform tasks. It doesn't matter if someone disagrees with a grade steve assigns...he is an authority..that does not attempt to argue he is infallible. Disparity between grading groups has nothing to do with the discussion....its a simple matter, do the people at CBCS or CGC posess high levels of knowledge and skill in their given area. the answer is yes..the dictionary definition of the word considers them as authorities. You can attempt to throw in subject, objective and as many other smoke and mirror straw man arguments as you desire. End of the day they meet the definition of the term authority |

| Clearly you missed Bronte's and Dudley's posts. No one else cares, and it's pointless for me to try arguing against nonsense. Just move on. | ||

| Clearly I was responding to some of your ruder posts above ..where you failed to notice Bronte and Dudleys posts. Incidentally you help noone when you insult others or their views...it just looks petty. Move along yourself as well, thanks | ||

Crying wolf again... Does this site have an ignore function? Might be the first person I ever ignore on the internet for being so ironically dense. |

 I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for.

| After reading some posts in this thread I wish I hadn't. Perhaps going forward we might want to be a bit more constructive in thinking of what might add value to a discussion before posting. Just my two cents. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Bronte Well I get it, He wants to buy for as low as he Can, and I want to sell for as much as I can. I was there at some point in my life as well. I'm not the business with the expectation that I'm going to make bank. In fact I opened LCS in order to live my dream after my accident. I worked for the man, was unhappy with that even though it made a lot of money, had the accident decided I'm going to do me with what time I have left. My friends abandoned me, my wife left me(TMI I know) and I am always two steps removed from being bed bound. My LCS keeps me integrated to the community, active and gives me purpose. I donate books and toys to the local women's shelter and I am surrounded by the stuff I love. So I charge what a charge to keep the lights on and nothing more. |

| @starlord It's one thing to be wanting to get a decent price. It's another to be insulting. I try and be mindful of that when offering a price to a person. As for your personal life, you lead it in a way that makes you happy. How many of us can say we do the same? How many can say we do for others when most just think of themselves? In this day and age, kindness, generosity and empathy I find are hard qualities to find in others. (Granted, I am far from perfect as well.) |
