9/19/2017 Topic: Missing Titles Laroo42	These appear to be paperback books. I'm not sure that CPG catalogs these even though the subject is cartoon in nature.
9/19/2017 Topic: easier way Laroo42	You can add a run of comics within the same title, volume etc.. using the toolbar on the right side of the screen.
10/10/2017 Topic: Adding credits Laroo42	Anything you add will take time for admin to approve. It won't show up until then. Could take... weeks?
10/12/2017 Topic: Missing all Stan Lee Comic Box Issues Laroo42	Secret Wars #1 is here: https://comicspriceguide.com/collection/marvel/secret-wars/1AA/pjtsixp I just typed in Secret Wars #1 and scrolled through the variants. Make sure your "Show Variants" box is checked. I didn't look for others, but I'm sure they're there.
10/17/2017 Topic: TOP RAW ISSUES? Laroo42	Unfortunately, I think it's only available by Publisher.
10/24/2017 Topic: Adding credits Laroo42	As far as I know, the price of the book is only in US dollars.
10/27/2017 Topic: Golden Age Non Key Issues Laroo42	I'm not much of a "keys" guy. I usually buy to read a complete story line so I quite enjoy the filler.
11/1/2017 Topic: Batman and Robin Sketch Variant Price Incorrect Laroo42	I'm sure with the limited admin it's difficult to change everything quickly. Besides, there is an algorithm used to calculate the pricing, so you can't just change one grade. As well, there are various sources to verify what the "actual value" would be. Most price guides, are just that, guides. I'm just playing devil's advocate here because I know my 9.8 Batman New 52 #1 is NOT worth $1050 based on recent trending sales. It certainly does look good on my screen though! Haha! :P
11/1/2017 Topic: Batman #3 - Cover found in walls Laroo42	Sweet! Might still be worth a buck or two to someone out there!?!

12/8/2017 Topic: Missing Rob Hanes Adventures Laroo42	Yup, definitely missing from the database...
12/20/2017 Topic: how to post from CPG to ebay? Laroo42	There is an eBay tab under your account settings that allows you to enter your eBay user name. Now as to whether it automatically updates this account with eBay is another story. I suppose it allows a perspective buyer to check you out on eBay and make an informed decision...
12/21/2017 Topic: books Laroo42	I have the most luck selling locally through a FB group. Do a little research so you know your prices, study up on grading and take a lot of photos. Hope that helps!
1/15/2018 Topic: Problems with new design Laroo42	I found it difficult to add comics from the price guide because all you see at the end of the row is two dashes (- -). I wasn't sure which to click because they are both green! edited by LaRoo42 on 1/15/2018
1/22/2018 Topic: BCW Comic Book Bins Laroo42	I saw a price list that if you buy bulk (6 or more) they're $15 CAD each. That's not terrible if you never replace them again. The adjustable dividers are a great selling feature!
1/24/2018 Topic: Display Case Laroo42	My display case definitely DOES NOT show my most valuable comics. How do I change it?
1/31/2018 Topic: Can't find these anywhere Laroo42	Are they individual comic issues, or Trade Paper Backs? If they're TPBs, there is a tab under each title for those. Typically, there is a set of publisher's information (known as indicia) on the inside of the book - sometimes the first few pages, sometimes the last few pages. This will give you the ACTUAL title of the book to search. Hope that helps.
1/31/2018 Topic: New to Grading - stuck on this issue Hansi Laroo42	I don't think it's as bad of a read as you would assume from the cover. It definitely has a "flavour" that Spire promoted in their comic books. Hansi is a naïve young peasant girl in Sudetenland, who is mesmerized by the Führer and reading books. She wins a contest, organized by Adolf Hitler, that picks students for special training in National socialist schools in Prague. Her mother is delighted, but warns her in advance to "never forget Jesus Christ". As Hansi arrives in Prague, she is educated into antisemitism, but has doubts since Jesus himself was a Jew. Still, despite people informing her about the famine and horrors of the war she remains enthusiastic about Hitler. Hansi is also in love with a German U-boat soldier named Rudy, but his parents disapprove of the marriage because she is just a peasant. Since she doesn't want to break him and his parents apart she breaks the relationship off. By now Hansi is so brainwashed that she condemns the Bible as "outdated" and only fit for "cowards and weaklings". As the war progresses Hansi and other people have to evacuate Prague because the Russians are on their way. Despite other people around her realizing that the war is a lost cause, Hansi remains confident in the Fuhrer. She is sent off to a Russian prisoner camp, where she and other girl have to work in slave labor and become victim of rape, except for Hansi who is too skinny to be taken advantage of by the men. Hansi and a girlfriend decide to escape to the American prisoner camps, despite her friend's objections about the USA. They manage to cross the border safely and escape Red Army soldiers trying to shoot refugees. Despite all the misery around her, Hansi still has her faith in Jesus. As Hansi reaches the American prisoner camp, she is amazed how good the American soldiers treat her. As the war is over and Germany lies in rubble Hansi decides to become a teacher. Then it turns out Rudy is still alive. They become a couple again, but after a year they feel something "is missing from their lives". Hans re-introduces Hansi to the Bible, but she feels unsure whether she can still believe as she suffered through so much misery. Over the years she and Hans raise a family and become good Christians. They travel to the USA, where Hansi wonders whether all the materialism "obscured God's blessings" and made her students "troubled" and "unsure where to give their allegiance". As Hansi takes the flag salute, she is finally convinced about the goodness of the United States, when she hears the phrase "one nation under God", because "it's all right to love what God has blessed". Now Rudy and Hansi decide to promote the Bible to young people and explain the splendor of America's freedom.
2/13/2018 Topic: Can not find Laroo42	Did you buy this? Take a photo of the indicia (publishing info inside the book). Let's look at that.
