I believe that's the best way to start.  Shouldn't need any tweaking. I'll second that. |

Sorry for the delay-I couldn't get my computer to recognize my phone. (Damn you Microsoft for your constant screwing around with Windows 10.) I tried for a couple of hours on two different computers and couldn't upload pictures, so I ended up using the scanner which I couldn't show group pictures. Okay, here's my offer. You have a couple of choices. Pick one of the following. Pick 1: Electra's Death Daredevil 181: I feel this is one of the best Copper Age stories. Double size Death of Electra issue by Miller.  Daredevil 190: Of course she couldn't stay dead. Another double size issue by Miller.  What If 35: What if she didn't die?  Pick 2: Micronauts! They're making a movie soon, right? Micronauts 1-5: Art by Michael Golden  Micronauts Annual 1: Art by Ditko  All of the books are VF or better. I will add additional choices if nobody picks one within the next couple of days. |

Tough crowd. Here's another choice. Pick 3: 2 copies of New Mutants 1. You can save one for your collection and use the other one to read, trade, or sell. Isn't that what a lot of collectors do?  |

Small rather than tough, most likely. There may be more interest after the weekend. It's a generous starting offer. |

So give me an idea of what you guys want (other than Action #1). That's probably a good idea. I've just created a Subforum to make this easier, rather than having to sift through individual posts in the discussion thread.  Wants/Needs Suggestions by MemberEach member is allowed one thread to make PIF offer suggestions based on their current wants and needs. Please make your current forum name the title of the thread. Update the thread with new posts as necessary. |

So give me an idea of what you guys want (other than Action #1). To be completely honest with you, JL, I'm not sure this is something I can participate in. The only books I have of similar value are books I wouldn't part with. This thread generated a bit of interest. I'm sure it'll pick up. |

Wants/Needs Suggestions by MemberEach member is allowed one thread to make PIF offer suggestions based on their current wants and needs. Please make your current forum name the title of the thread. Update the thread with new posts as necessary.After further consideration (thinking about the above post) I'm going to have to put myself in the "tough crowd" category. Not to be an dick, but I think I have all the reasonably priced comics I want, and I'm not going to claim any comics I already own. I'll keep checking cause you never know but I wouldn't count on me being very helpful. |

 The 'Suggestion' area is totally optional, no one needs to feel compelled to use it. But it would help others to decide what to offer, especially at the beginning. Also, please keep in mind: 1) This is a gift from JLW. 2) PIFs tend to rise in value over time, but if you'd like to jump-start it to the $500 level (or whatever), please feel free to make your own gift. 3) The best thing you can do to make PIF successful is to find a way to get more eyes on it; advertise it on other forums, invite your friends/colleagues/people you trust, etc. I have. |

I have plenty of drek.  I don't want you to feel uncomfortable about having to match value. As Ditch said, think of it as a gift. I can put up some cool books that don't have high monetary value, something in the $10 range. |
