Who is the established boardie?
I have a PM out to him right now letting him know about the grade. Since the deal was made some time ago, I deleted the original conversation where he stated his assessment on condition, but I do recall it being definitely higher than Fine.
Checking his post history, he hasn't been on for a bit, but I want to let him know privately and see what he thinks.
What was the seller's estimated grade? And when you received and looked the book over did you agree with their stated grade?
That's what I'm trying to figure out -- his stated grade -- before anything else. I do remember looking it over when receiving and it looked fine. Before sending it in for grading I did take another look and saw the corner was more rounded than I remembered and saw it fall a couple points because of it, but nothing to drop to a 6.0.
I'm not looking for pitchforks or accusations; I just want to know what made it take the dive. And if the seller believed the grade to be much higher, perhaps he would spring for the notes.
It's a book for my personal collection, so even if it was advertised as 8.0 and came back 7.0 I'd be happy.
