    Sounds good. Looking forward to it.
    I believe this is the only remaining photo from the set of Goonies and it is a scan of a weathered print.

      Still pretty cool looking. I can only image how good the original looked.

        I had some pretty good shots of the kids bikes and the abandoned restaurant prop. I also had crew working and some giant fans on the backs of semis that I am pretty sure they never had to use. It is windy up there about 360 days a year. I may still stumble upon them but I suspect they are gone.

              It's always a bummer when you have to pass on a book due to funds. I have a few pre-orders in that need to be paid for soon and I just don't want to use credit.

                I can sure relate to that.

                  For those who haven’t heard, the tax-reporting threshold for seller funds transacted through eBay, et al will drop from this year’s $20,000 minimum to $600 next year. If you want to moderate any of that tax burden, be prepared to show your original purchase price for each and every item.

                  I suspect this will take a lot of private-party aftermarket sellers out of the game...who wants to hassle with that? My selling days will be largely over. Best be prepared for a skimpy private-party aftermarket selection starting next year, which means more buyer competition and higher prices/auctions. Given that many of us get a large chunk of our books this way, the future looks rough for our hobby.

                    I believe it will lead to a lot fewer listings on eBay and more sales from forums like this with 'Friends and Family' and other digital money transfers being used to pay. I also believe it will drive the eBay fees associated with selling up as they will be required to manage the income reporting.

                      Illinois reduced the threshold to $600 last year and I was unaware of it until I got a surprise 1099-K in the mail from PayPal.

                      I had to go back and try to itemize all of my purchases and expenses, and fortunately I was able to accomplish that so I didn't have to pay taxes on my roughly $10,000 in PayPal funds received. The unfortunate part was that my wife then saw how much I spent on books and comics.

                      I will now try to use eBay and PayPal a lot less, but it does hamper my selling ability to do that. It is a Catch 22.

                        How did eBay get your SS# to issue a 1099-K?

                          The 1099-K was from PayPal. You have to provide your SS# to them to use PayPal as a seller.

                            I was unaware they required your SS# to receive payments on a sale through PayPal. That is interesting. So if the 1099 is coming from the entity handling the payment that simplifies things for eBay. Can you accept payments from other sources on an eBay sale? If you receive payment via Venmo will they also have your SS#?

                              From eBay: "Sellers can accept a variety of safe and secure payment methods on eBay, including credit cards, debit cards, Paypal, and, if you’re a managed payments seller, Apple Pay and Google Pay."

                                I have Apple Pay and they do not have my SS#. I do not use it to accept payments. If I set my account to accept payments they may require my SS#. If the legal requirement will be for the payment processor to manage the tax reporting I can see some processors no longer accepting eBay transactions. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. So basically they have modified federal law to ensure they are they are getting taxes from small online sellers but allow for Nike, Amazon, General Electric and many others to legally pay no federal taxes with accounting tricks. Make perfect sense.
