I spent $549.99 on this before shipping and tax. Was this a good financial decision?

Probably not but I hope you enjoy them.

>>937274913 (OP)
>$600 for some ink and paper
>in the year 2025
You already know the answer to your question retard, youre just looking for attention

>>937274913 (OP)
This must be bait. No one is actually that retarded, right?

>>937275372
Let's see you access your online sources in a powercut

>>937275432
"No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people".

>>937274913 (OP)

>>937275344

>>937275547
Those are paperbacks tho

>>937274913 (OP)

This is either bait or OP got Jewed hard

>>937274913 (OP)
First edition?
Then no.

>>937275742
That one doesn't come with the audio version though. It's not the same.

>>937275773
How do you figure?

>>937275852
Oh...

>i spend money like a retard because im a nepo baby

>>937276093
Hey, I'm kinda confused what this means. Could you tell me what this is supposed to mean?

>>937276266
You seem obsessed by attraction to children. Is there something you'd like to say?

>>937276551
Yes, I would like to say I think you are a pedophile and you should've stayed in prison

>>937274913 (OP)
>Was this a good financial decision?
no

>>937277895
I think I got pretty decent value out of the deal, personally

>>937276266
Sounds like the person in the post is attempting to justify/rationalize his sexual attraction to children.

>>937279412
nigger you can't tell who it is it's probably the faggot posting it. I used to post others names and avatars and skinwalk them with the same thing to create false hate

>>937279765
Nobody said it was you specifically in that particular post, but good on you for confirming it, pedophile

>>937280336
i'm saying who probably posted it and find it strange someone would ask why they wrote such a thing

>>937274913 (OP)
i stole my copy of the hobbit from the school library when i was 12.

>>937280425
Sounds like some cope following a lot of seething there, bud...

>>937280485
That's a smart move, albeit illegal...

>>937280665
i assume that i am correct

Just for posterity

>>937274913 (OP)
Should have been 40 bucks and a sore on your hand.

>>937281000
Why a sore?

>>937279765
Really strange you you automatically assume that it was about you.
Also, cool it with the racisms.

>>937279765
You spend WAY too much time on the internet.

>>937281302
That's what I'm saying...

>>937281302
that recycled image has a history of accusations attributed with it

>>937281651
josh post the long one it has you responding to someone with it admitting your identity

>>937274913 (OP)
>Was this a good financial decision?

No, but if you had that money to spend... I guess it doesn't matter.

Why is it so expensive tho?

>>937281678
Jesus Christ, it’s 11 days old.
Why is it bothering you so much? Me thinks he doth protest too much.

>>937281939
because it's a stupid attributed post to instigate false hate and you keep defending it

>>937274913 (OP)
why didn't you just spend all that money on one book called 'How to look as gay as possible'.

>>937281703
Fine, I guess. Shane Roden: Confirmed Child Diddler

You know he ain't leaving or anything because of that though? Lol

>>937274913 (OP)
these are early editions maybe first editions so the price is about right

>>937281919
It's a collector's edition

>>937274913 (OP)
Sorry your thread got hijacked by people talking about child sex, are these like special editions or leather bounded?

>>937282601
It's alright, I'm used to that happening.

I have no idea though, I just saw it, and I liked the box, so I bought it

>>937282528
They 100% ARE NOT. why would you say something so absurd?

>>937282436
Shane somehow manages to shoe horn pedophilia into nearly every single interaction. Seems like the definition of someone with sex with kids on his mind.

>>937282436
You just got reported see you when you ban evade

>>937282855
That's weird because that is exactly what you just did

>>937282855
I guess so.

>>937282884
Why bother report me if you think I'm just going to ban evade?

>>937282777
lol, seethe faggot you are the sort of lame cunt that would pay 100k for a first edition go suck gandalf's cock retard

>>937282950
Shane is obsessed with authority. It’s what someone does who has none in their own life.

>>937282950
because it's funny yo see all your posts disappear like i did to dc a cyril and see that he was telling people to cut aswell as arguing with himself. You have ban evaded before.

>>937274913 (OP)
I've been getting into leather book binding, would you ever consider getting them rebound like pic rel and how much would you pay for it? not advertising just curious if theres a market for it

>>937282050
I was in that thread. I’m the one who calls you Shane, and you answer.

>>937283110
i am the only person with authority over themselves that i am aware of. i have no obligations or responsibilities unless i make a promise

>>937283086
What? I find those books dull and overly descriptive. I prefer Vonnegut, Heller, I’d rather even Steinbeck than Tolkien.

I’m just saying those are remotely close to first editions, not are they in any way collectible other than that’s how they are marketed.

>>937283146

I'd love to have a leather binding like that, bit I stead of Tolkien I would have printout after printout of Belle Delphine for some off the grid rustic gooning.

>>937283362
what about 500 pages of hand drawn medieval style belle dolphins in various poses for 499.99 and free shipping

>>937283121

>>937283412
I like the way you think.

>>937283146
i feel like cosplay and/or collectible props would be a good market for you. though you'd probably not be working to the highest quality or standards, especially for cosplay.

>>937278897
>I think I got pretty decent value out of the deal, personally

your personal pov doesnt matter you asked if it was a good financial decision and the answer is no its a waste and even if you keep it sealed you will never get the money you put into it back

financially a bad decision

>>937283268
But you have no authority over anything or anyone else and it makes you feel and behave insecure.
You’ve been to prison. Not only do the guards tell you what to do, but there is an entire hierarchy of other inmates to belittle you.
You are criminal. You give authority to the police, bigger criminals, you can only look on with envy. You aren’t successful.
You’d be a cop if you were just a little better adjusted. You are a weasel and a simp. It’s painfully obvious.

>>937283362
That aesthetic is fucking hilarious

>>937283557
i like books way better than junk though

>>937283619
Actually I do. I am not in prison nobody tells me what to do I didn't even listen to them and made them change how they acted like i do to you just be greatful i am not able to physically make you do whst i want because we live far away froo eachother

Well I'm not banned yet, so that's neat.

>>937283900
You're drunk again, aren't you?

>>937283900
How far away do we live Shane?

>>937274913 (OP)
Based LoTR enjoyer, but unless if you're a collector that wants stuff in new condition (and special editions, cover arts, etc.), then yeah it's a waste of money if you just want to read them.

You could probably buy the entire LoTR set for way way cheaper at a used bookstore, or thrift shop or Goodwill. And if you don't have money at all you can borrow from the library or pirate the e-books.

>>937283900
You have classic Oppositional Defiant Disorder symptoms. You are a pathological liar with delusions of grandeur.

>>937284037
Sometimes it takes hours to get a mod to ban someone for doxing.

>>937283900
Shane, you are a rich businessman not on parole or probation, you should be able to travel.

>>937284181
Autonomous life is grandiose?

>>937284198
You’d know

>>937284216
I do travel

>>937284252
How far you willing to go?

>>937284181
No you have a control freak problem and someone trolling you is considered defiant in your eyes

>>937284225
You are FAR from autonomous.
I’m surprised you know that word.

>>937284178
That's the first time anyone's ever called me based, thank you.

Also it does have like a cool little book holder thing that it came in

>>937284313
depends on whats there im going to. i've seen everything so i dont wanna travel i been to nyc california texas etc and out of country

>>937284328
How are you trolling? You always say this, but I never feel trolled. I’m often afraid I’m taking advantage of a mentally challenged person.

>>937284343
How am i not autonomous if you believe i have odd?

>>937284382
What other countries?
