James and Noah break down the "Comic Sexy" naming blunder and a bizarre Facebook Marketplace mystery that left them with a box of returned comics and zero answers.

Discussed in this episode:

The Naming Fail: James realized "Comics XZ" sounds like "Comics Sexy" when spoken fast, leading him to buy comicsexy.com as a defensive measure.
The Marketplace Mystery: James shipped 30 Bronze Age comics only to have them returned unopened with the buyer's name physically clipped off the label.
The AI Loop: Resolving the return through Meta support proved impossible, resulting in a frustrating loop of non-responsive AI chatbots.
Platform Wars: If not Marketplace, where to sell next? Noah describes competing platform Whatnot as a "dystopian casino.”
The Digital Anomaly: Noah explains his choice to stay completely "unplugged" from social media, which James notes is a significant anomaly for the Gen Z generation.
Hobby Economics: They reflect on how the comic hobby often feels like collectors simply "recycling the same money" and shipping materials back and forth.
