it's been too cold lately. We've had 20s & 30s in Vegas for more than a week.

I'm going to start the Too Damn Cold Party and get legislation passed outlawing Mother Nature

Oh poor baby.  For temperatures like that, I guess I would put on a windbreaker.  We have a name for weather like that.  It's called October.

Single digit mornings for the last ten days here with wind chills around -20.

Well, here on the west coast of Maui....the water was warm, the waves were good, the bikinis are barely covering anything...the only thing cold is my beer...I've been living in Hawaii for 11 years now...and there is no way I'm ever leaving!!

all things are relative Jay. our high this summer was 118. I'm certain you never see anything like that
our temperature "swing" this year has been 96 degrees from 118 to 22

One time in Colorado we had a swing from the low 90s to the upper 30s in a 3 hour period.

When I was stationed in Topeka in the USAF, a stationary front moved through and stalled along main street.  One side was in the upper 70's.  Cross the street and it was in the low 40's.  Stayed that way for a couple of hours.

Here in Missoura, it is common to have 70 degrees one day and snow the next.

They say, "If you don't like today's weather, wait for tomorrow, because it is almost certain to be different".

That looks like Laird Hamilton at Peahi "Jaws"...the cliff overlooking Peahi is so far away that you need a telescopic lens....that shot was from a Helicoptor ...some of those waves are pushing about 80 feet and still rideable..

[movieposters]

incredibly cool - the wave alone is impressive - got to be from a tsunami.

Specoli would be proud.

Believe it or not ....that is no tsunami...just about every November the swells collude on the north shore of Maui...sometimes in December or January....but usually late November...the waves are still rideable at 70+ feet ...they are towed in by jet skis...at 80+ feet it's not really rideable...but they are developing new hydrofoil surfboards that could potentially make 100+ foot waves rideable...for the most part any wave over 50-60 feet needs a tow in...it's hard to paddle fast enough to catch it!!!

so back to Sean's question.. does nobody here have any personal stories??

[Dread_Pirate_Mel]

Several people were here in Mondo's early days and have made ludicrous profits in just 2-3 years, from $35 original to $1500+ in several cases.

[rdavey26]

I haven't really paid a lot for some of the stuff I sold but what I have sold and made a profit I feel was descent. Pulp Fiction paid $5 sold for above $100. I have a few others I have sold but did not make a huge profit on them.

But it's high price paid and then profit. So mondos don't count,  I assume.

incorrect Ari. Sean is asking what item you made a lot on. doesn't say anything about cost

Yeah it is a bit confusing...    

Made me curious, I wonder what the highest price someone has paid for a piece for their own collection and then later sold for a profit?

Is a bought $2000 poster and sold for $2002 of relevence... or is a bought $1000 and sold for $1500 the go?

Please clarify this thread CrowZilla!

In the above example, the $2000 poster would be the winner. The absolute highest price paid for a piece and still sold for a profit.
The Flying Down to Rio mentioned earlier might be the best candidate so far (though surely the seller of the Casablanca insert made a much bigger % profit).

I believe Ari is indeed correct, and Rich is incorrect
