Great stuff Ari

[herbertwest]

I am guessing that it was a BIN offer, as I do not see any bids?

[jsmcmullen92]

What is it?

It's a fanzine from 1966 where the SK story In a Half-World of Terror was published.

I didn't even dare to make a lower offer.

My luck is balanced. This was incredible...during one of my worst weeks ever in my job.

The company where I work has not been paying what my contract says for almost a year already. It's always on the verge of being solved and the money I'm owed paid, but something ALWAYS happens that delays all. And after I returned from my holidays and I asked about news, I was told that due to my complains on the matter some people have been considering firing me. In the meantime, someone wanted to remove me from a project I designed and developed that's going to be shared with the board (a training software that basically removes the need of having people training new data collectors). I'm still considering my options...

Sorry for the offtopic.

Awe man, sorry to hear that. I hope things work out.

Even when it's a lot of money, I think this qualifies as an awesome deal

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it. I had to sell some stuff I wasn't planning to, but it was well worth it!

Amazing addition. I didn’t even know about this 👏👏👏

Yep, not worth taking a risk of losing it !
You couldnt even know if he wouldnt have cancelled the sale ....

As for your work situation... I hope that it get sorted properly very soon.
1 year of wage is a lot. Something is not right !

If they fire you because of your ‘complaining’ about them breaching the contract they have with you, I would say you have good grounds for a hefty lawsuit. Either way, that sucks, sorry to hear it.

Welcome to the world of the elite. I find you worthy of our esteem. 😉

Keep plugging away, but don't be afraid to walk away. There is no way that someone with your skills, good vibe, good luck, and elan won't be a benefit to someone else.
Good mojo sent your way!

Many congrats Ari, this is awesome. From Spignesi's The Lost Works of SK: "The odds on finding an original of this tale probably run 99 and 44/100 percent against."

Great job beating the odds!

[Cook]

Received yesterday, but I still can't believe I own it.

Wow !!
That's seriously impressive, super congrats Ari

Thanks, J! I was really anxious until I received the item.

As for the salary, it's a lot of money and even more for someone in Argentina where the currency is so devaluated.

If they fire you because of your ‘complaining’ about them breaching the contract they have with you, I would say you have good grounds for a hefty lawsuit. Either way, that sucks, sorry to hear it.

Yes, I know...but I want to keep on working happy here. That's the main problem and what bothers me the most.

Welcome to the world of the elite. I find you worthy of our esteem. 😉

HA! Thanks, Alan! I'm far away from reaching the elite but to score this item was AWESOME!

Thank you very, very much, Jerome. Sometimes it's not easy to take some risks. I'm not in my 20s anymore (actually, I'm about to reach my 40s...) and I try to be more careful with the steps I take, but I keep my options open.

Thank you all for your greetings and sympathy! Sorry for the offtopic.

[Ari_Racing]

Thanks everyone!

[MikeDuke]

Hey Ari. I just learned how important that item is. Congrats on getting it.

[Ari_Racing]

Thanks!

I also received another very cool one:

[MikeDuke]

Nice.

This is not the type of book to carry to events or signings which are far away however since it has been on the list to get signed for a long time, I have a special case to house it when there is a chance of running into someone in a parking lot.
When I approached Mr King in parking lot and asked if he could sign something from my collection, he said, he'd sign one book. When I handed this to him, Mr. King made a comment and then called it a "Rich persons book" ... He politely signed it however I felt he would have been happier signing an old beat up paperback.. Was not quick enough to point out it was an appreciated gift and one now even more valued.

[Brian861]

Nice!

[MikeDuke]

Wow. That is so freaking cool.
