Should crosspost this to the comicbooks community.
Also.....how was the comic?
Its pretty meh to be honest. I bought it for a friend who is a Robocop fan. I noticed the auction had two mins left and he wouldn't have seen it in time so grabbed it and will sell it to him.
I can't imagine the comic cost any more than $10. Maybe I'm wrong, as I'm not an expert in old comics. But I don't see why you'd sell him the comic. Just be like "Dude, look what I found for you!" and he'll be like "OH MY GOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDD!!!!!!"
That's what I love. That's my payment for when I find cool little things my friends would like. Just the surprise and happyness that they got a cool thing. I don't need the $10.
Now if that comic cost you like $500, I'd be like "Heeeeeeeeeey, so I found a thing you'd like. You got $500?"
And if it's too late to contact before the auction ends, welp. Guess they aren't getting that thing. I will however message the seller and see if he's planning on relisting the item if it doesn't sell.
Also, sometimes I just get my friends bad gifts too. Intentionally. I'll be like "Heeeeey, look what I found while I was out!" and it's a garden shovel. One of those little tiny ones you hold in your hand as you kneel and dig up plants. Not a great gift. But I like watching them be confused. Plus it gives me an idea of what peoples fake reactions look like.
Then the next week I give them a gothic garden gnome. Personally, I still think that's an awesome gift. It's a garden gnome. Except it's goth. Who wouldn't love that???
The one thing I remember about it was a guy complaining how hot it was because of global warming. Something like “95 degrees in the friggin shade”
