Hey, you 500-pound gorilla impresario of movie paper -- great to see you back in action with your mix of blatant self promotion, self-deprecating humor and not-so-subtle "segues" as to what you're hawking this week. Your job and raising so many great kids finally caught up with you. Well, you needed the rest. And my meager winnings every other month from you continue to be delivered not only on time, but in parcels so iron-clad packed that it takes the "jaws of life" to open 'em. As far as Michael -- since he dishes it out -- I know he can take it. I'm not worried about him. He seems pretty fearless and not easily intimidated anyway. Take care...
-koose.

First off, you guys stop beating up on poor Michael! First you run off "Mr. Smith" (who was actually Dr. Smith, but I guess you are all too young to remember that incredibly crappy show, or perhaps you are lucky enough to have forgotten it), and now you are likely to run off Michael too. Sure he is exuberant and passionate and jumps to some wrong conclusions, but aren't HIS e-mails a breath of fresh air compared to the endless flow of "what I have on eBay e-mails"? (Although where else would I have learned that the words "rare style" actually mean "Australian daybill" or that it is OK to put the original year of a poster in the title, even if it is a re-release, as long as you bury that info somewhere in the small text?)
Second, Michael was almost correct in what he said. He just got it
backwards! Marty Davis is not "a bruce wanna-be", but I very much am a "marty wanna-be". Here is a guy who everyone likes and respects, who does a great job selling on eBay, and "lives large" and has no regular job. Who WOULDN'T want to be just like him.
Third, for the record, Marty and I have sold to each other and bought from each other for over 17 years. I am happy that he is one of my friends, and one of the best friends I have made from this hobby. He asked me in passing several times over the past year if it was OK with me to give my books away one week, and each time I said it was fine.
My God, will you run Koose off of here next because he makes some little mistake?
Can't we all just get along?
Bruce
P.S. I bet you are all amazed that I am not even mentioning the 954 great items in Part I of my 7th Annual Halloween
auction, currently on eBay. Only a tireless self-promoter would do that, and my recent heart troubles have left me a very tired self-promoter!
