There is such a difference with going back to work after the September Labor Day holiday compared to going back to work after July 1st Canada Day and/or Independence Day July 4th. I think they should just write the month…

There was way to much going on this past weekend, I had a big lamb roast to go to on Sunday and another big lamb roast to go to yesterday for Canada Day! Balkan hosts are easily offended, especially if…

… And the livin is easy… I hope everyone enjoys their summer, make sure you take some time off and get some needed rest, make sure you marvel at the bees and stop and smell the roses. A fresh clear…

Happy Solstice everyone. I don’t watch enough sports, I hardly watch any, so yesterday I tried to fix that by watching the lads from the old county face off against England at the Euro 2024. Now I remember why I…

It was a busy weekend, I had a few guys pop into the warehouse to settle up accounts, catch up a bit and talk comics. One popular topic was the state of the market, current prices and where the market…

Apologies for the delay, Queen Victoria’s birthday demanded that I take the weekend off and do some lolligaging. We had a bit of a shock last week as eBay delayed our Canadiana auction by a week, it is now scheduled…

I went outside on Saturday night looking for the Aurora Borealis but didn’t see anything, maybe it was the big city lights, maybe I was looking south? Our big Canadiana Auction will be running on eBay from May 19th to…

Talk about busy, I was working Free Comic Book Day on Saturday and I was emersed in family stuff for our Easter festivities on Sunday. Too much food, to much drink, too much desserts all lead to not enough ambition…

It’s official, we’ll be out of the warehouse on October 31st this year, I have some storage space lined up for some excess stock but it will just be space, no offices etc., a friend has a very cavernous factory…

Gah! Apologies, I don’t like missing posts. Laptop died on Saturday, bought a new one Sunday, the Geek Squad transferred everything over on Monday, then I spend a few hours Monday evening trying to remember all my log ins to…

Hey, Hamilton will be a good spot to be in to enjoy the total eclipse of the sun today, lets hope the clouds stay away, at least long enough for me to test out these funny looking cardboard glasses. If…

Be careful what you read today. On second thought, be careful what you read every day. A couple of days ago I read of the passing of Daniel Kahneman, the behavioral psychologist that dispelled the age-old notion that people always…

I didn’t make it to the warehouse this weekend so I’ll have to attack the “heading to eBay auction” in the next day or so to get the lots ready for Jay to do his magic with. I didn’t want…

The spring Toronto Comic Con went this weekend, I saw some pictures posted and the show looked busy. I’ll have to talk to a few of the guys I know that set up and see how it was, how they…

I always forget to take pics of the warehouse progress, next week I promise myself I won’t forget and I’ll show you just how far along that big toy room has come. If I share these progress reports with you…

We’ve started listing Original Art (OA) on the weekly icecollectibles eBay auctions. It’s tough breaking in a new collecting bucket, you need time to establish enough followers of the OA portion of the auction but you also need pieces to…
