If being stupid enough to buy a book from Trey is enough fodder to add me to the PL feel free to do so.
I personally don't think either of you should be probated. You both knew it was a PGX book.
Joey didn't know it was a PGX book until he opened the package. Trey knew it from the moment it was posted for sale.
My opinion...and I'm sure I will get flack for it...
Trey offered a book with a grade. It happened to be in a PGX holder but that was not necessarily apparent from the scans nor from his listing or description. Others determined it was PGX before the sale because the scan showed the inner well. I understand that selling PGX books is against the rules here on the boards. I have always held the opinion that a comic is a comic. The label is not the comic. In my mind, as long as the grading companies opinion is not used to sell the book then no harm. But according to rules Trey should have cracked it before listing it here. So be it, and I understand it. But I digress... Joey may or may not have seen the discussion of whether or not it was a PGX book but he bought it. He received it. He knew it was in a PGX holder when he received it. If he had an issue with the transaction then here is where he should have said something. But he did not make an issue of it. So at this point in the transaction there has been no issue with the fact that the book was sold in a PGX holder. That is very important as far as I'm concerned. Say it out loud...at this point in the transaction there is no issue with the PGX slab.
So joey cracks it out of the PGX holder. It is now NOT A PGX BOOK. So the problems start after it is no longer in a PGX holder. The issues with Trey selling this comic book begin when the book is no longer a PGX book. The problem is not about grade. The problem is not about payment. The problem is not about service. And most importantly, the problem is not about PGX. The whole problem is a misunderstanding about feedback.
Silliest mess I ever saw. At least that's how I see it.
At this point there is no issue with the PGX slab? Between the buyer and seller yes. Between the seller and the boards the whole problem is being a PGX slab. Rule broken. Case closed. The only debate for me is if there are multiple offenses.
