Tell me! You're nerds, right? And you have stuff?

[thebitterguy]

I'm gonna start with a generalization that we, as geeks, will accumulate stuff. Our hobbies tend to be based around things, whether books of some kinds (periodical graphic novels and collections and rpg books and paperback novels and old pulp magazines)

I'm also going to state that we tend to let them out to like-minded folk. Can I borrow your copy of X? is a common question.

So, I have questions.

And I would like to just state right now, if I've fucked conjugating the word "to lend/loan/let" repeatedly, I am sorry.

I generally only buy comic collections if I intend to loan them out. I am also very good at extracting blood money for lost or damaged books, but fortunately that hasn't been necessary in a long, long time. Back when manga was rare and expensive I lent a few that came back with spines cracked in two – oy.
