It Was The Last Day In Vietnam...

Posted Jun-06-08 15:08:14 PDT

 

It Was The

Last Day In Vietnam!

 

Last night Tina listed about three dozen more 'The 'Nam Comics' in our eBay Featured Store.

While she was doing so she asked me if they had any connection to the Graphic Novel by Will Eisner that was also listed in the store.

She recognized that Will Eisner also had 'The Spirit' newspaper strip and comic book series, which is being transformed into an upcoming comic book movie.

I informed her that no, the Marvel Comics of 'The 'Nam' didn't have anything to do with the Will Eisner Graphic Novel, other than the settings were in the country of Vietnam.

I also told her that there have actually been several comic book series on the War in Vietnam, and that the Marvel Comics series was the easier one to collect and / or read.

BTW, we both are showing some interest in the upcoming 'The Spirit' film which is being directed by Frank Miller.

The addition of Samuel L Jackson as the villain 'The Octupus' is a great addition to drawing more attention to this production!

We'll be sure to blog more on the film, but wanted today to bring to your attention a good read on this inexpensive Marvel Comics book series, and an interesting and recommended Graphic Novel by Will Eisner!

We have an ongoing Comic Con  and pop culture convention here at Make It So Marketing, what with our daily blog posts and listings of items for sale! Please join us again for more!

Was reading 'FutureShop' by Daniel Nissanoff this week.

'Tag Sales' were mentioned as a possibility for obtaining fair
market value of goods.

Have Sum Fun!

bushell, did you see this one I commented earlier?

bushell: the eBay policy change link:

http://www2.ebay.com/aw/core/200805.shtml#2008-05-19130839


Updated Links Policy
Starting in July, an updated Links Policy will take the place of links guidelines that were previously covered in several policy areas. Under the updated policy, only specific types of links are allowed in a seller's listings or other content on eBay, including eBay Store pages, About Me pages, eBay Blogs, Reviews and Guides, and forums. Allowed under the new policy are links to:


Any page on eBay or an eBay property including PayPal, Half.com and StubHub.
Photos of the item for sale, as long as the page displaying the photos does not offer, or link to, a site that offers a product or service for sale off eBay.
Embedded videos within a listing, as long as the content and format comply with all eBay policies for videos.
Third-party solutions and services directly related to the particular listing.

Don't see any semi-official or offical announcements etc.

Just questions as to is it going away?

eBay already shut down ready access to the blogs months ago....
Newbies have to stumble into it to actually find it now.

Which is why we are promoting our non-eBay Blog via blog directories
instead of this one....
