reported it!

Actually what you just did isn't a bad idea, but turn it into a sticky that can't be edited by anyone. Trying to navigate through the PL discussions is very difficult if your trying to find a certain situation because of all the chatter, but if a link was posted (kind of like the PL list) for everyone that was brought up in the discussion thread that could really help in streamlining the process of digging through posts. It would help a lot for new people to decide for themselves if they want to do business with someone or not as well. I say this because there are definitely situations where someone wasn't/isn't on the PL but my personal feeling is that I don't want to have to deal with their the way someone else did. I wouldn't know that though if I hadn't closely followed the discussion thread and not all of us can keep up or have time to go back through 100's of posts to find what was going on.

Is there a way to block a boardie so you can't see each others posts?

1. Has Zombizzy read your PM asking for the address? 2. Zombizzy hasnt posted on the boards since 9:19am on 7/8, so its possible he hasnt been on to see your PM, but you're the only one who can confirm that. 3. Did Zombizzy already issue you your refund, or is he waiting until books are received (either way is fine, just curious which way he addressed this)? He contacted me at 9:20am on 7-8-13 asking if a certain refund amount was acceptable. I wrote him back at 9:33am on 7-8-13 asking for the address to ship the books back. Have not heard from him since. I have not received a refund as of this post. Does it show in your PM to him that he read your message back? Maybe he hasnt been on the boards since your response (so he would neither have your confirmation on refund amount nor see your request for his address). Now with a matter outstanding like this he should make a point to check back in on the boards, but who knows maybe something disastrous happened in RL. Until I saw that you stressed "did he read my msg" and I went back to check to see if there was a read/unread verification somewhere in the msg, I did not know that existed. Zombizzy has not seen the message I have sent to him yet. Any luck? He finally contacted me today with his address. We ain't forgot you. Everything moving forward? Haha . I still have not received a refund from Zombizzy. Cripes. What was the deal y'all worked out? Return the comics then get a refund, or refund first? Refund first then I would return the books. I would not feel comfortable sending the books back without a refund first...I think you can understand why at this point

I contacted Zombizzy on the morning of 7-8-13 asking for his address that I can send the books to and have still not heard back from him.

sorry for getting mad at a situation where someone tried to rip me off.

He is offering a refund only because he learned the "repercussions of being on the PL" and not because he know he made a mistake and as a seller he is responsible to fix such mistake. He is showing no goodwill at all. It took 3 months to offer a full refund to A.Romeo. If I was the buyer, I'll leave him on the PL for a month or two. It may seems harsh, but I think Zombizzy behaved poorly. This has been exactly my point all along.

I have had time to calm down over this whole mess and it is what it is. I have messaged Zombizzy accepting his offer for a full refund and for him to pay for the return shipping. He has not answered back yet.

Me too

Yeah... you're right. Unfortunately for you it also shows that even when offered a full refund, regardless of how long it took, that wasn't good enough for you. Of course once someone pointed out that in another situation zombizzy fully refunded the buyer and let them keep the books you seemed to be all about that. Regardless of what's posted in you kudos thread, based on that action alone, I can guarantee you and I will not be doing business at any time. Nor would I want someone doing business with me that wants someone like zombizzy back on the boards I never said anything about wanting him back on the boards. As far as I'm concerned I'd like to see you both gone. I like your logic ..a buyer gets ripped off and you want to ban him as well. And if you could read past a third grade level you would have noticed I made the statement about the refund and keeping the books as a joke

I'm not sure what that's supposed to prove. Kudos threads don't contain negative comments. EVERYONE's kudos thread makes them look good. That's why they're stupid. Fair enough but you also don't see me being nominated for PL or HOS.

I understand what your saying and its not even about the money for me at this point its about how soneone does business and I think the point was made. Besides it appears as though Zombizzy has many people eagerly awaiting his release back onto these boards to start scamming others. All I can say is I warned you.

OK so the "I keep books, give me a full refund" doesn't seen reasonable to me - when going back to the PM's & ignoring the timeline - I'm trying to get some sense of "how you do things" Please explain the math on 4/19 regarding the credit offer you rejected - I'm not clear on how saying a book is in 9.8 condition compels the seller to cover a buyers' "loss" of any grading fees, fast track service charges etc... nor do I see how your damages relate to both books. I guess the point is if you would have gotten a 9.8 graded but wouldn't bother with grading a 9.4 then why is fast track a relevant "loss", it's not a cost you were going to incur (if not slabbing) - your "loss" should relate to the book's value shouldn't it? I may be missing something because I'm a bit buzzed, I don't get the numbers you are referring to in your 4/19 negotiation. Explain them. If you read everything that has been said regarding the credit without returning statement, I stated I said that as more of a joke because that is how one poster stated Zombizzy handled his previous escalation with a buyer, so I figured why wouldn't he offer me the same. I had also stated at one point I would have taken a $40 refund to settle the deal, the loss in value from the grade of a 9.8 to something that looks like a 9.2 can be fairly significant. zombizzy refused my $40 ask of a refund and would only offer $20. After him ignoring me for weeks at a time only to come back and answer me in one sentence answers, I had now said only a full refund would work which I originally wanted in the first place, but Zombizzy would not accept that or the $40 refund.. Months later when Zombizzy wanted to sell more books is when he was willing to offer me a full refund because it now benefits him on his timetable. A buyer shouldn't have to be held by the balls by the seller. Again if Zombizzy was a legit seller he would have worked this out up front. Instead he chose to ignore my PMs So you demanded a $40 refund based on some weird opportunity cost gymnastics and he offered you $20? My personal stance on partial refunds is that they are generally used for extortion purposes. He didn't agree with your math and that's why Zombizzy is on the PL? Yeah, I'm not so sure about the validity of this case. You may want to seriously consider letting this one go and moving on because the more details you reveal, the worse you look. ^ 4th time I'll say this, Take Zombizzy off the PL, he is a standup guy and offered a $20 refund on a $95 purchase on books that were not as advertised. As a buyer, you are all right, I should eat the loss of $75 for books I never would have purchased in the first place. 5th Time Take Zombizzy off the PL 6th Time Take zombizzy off the PL. I don't have a bad history of bad buying/selling transactions on these boards, I have posted my Kudos thread and I still get backlash from this community. If you buy something at a retail store, and your not satisfied in anyway, are you not allowed to take that item back for a full refund? Why should this situation be any different? If a full refund was offered up front instead of $20, again, we wouldn't be having this conversation. My ask for a return/refund was immediate upon delivery of the books. Zombizzy has drug this out for three months now. My posts may seem heated because I am now starting to question some other board members integrity on here now.

I can understand how it makes you want to see someone not do business on the board when they refuse to work with you on an issue. However, right now...you're not appearing to be much better at that one. I've stated twice in this thread to remove him from the PL. so for you this will be a third time I am saying to take Zombizzy off the PL

Here is my kudos thread http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=6779403#Post6779403 Where is yours Zombizzy

I guess my issue is that I don't know how long someone has to "make good" it's been three months and all the sudden he comes along. What if it was a year later is he still able to make good at that point?

Sorry man. I know you're steamed, but it's not cool to just keep someone on the PL indefinitely after they've offered you a full refund. It's just not what the PL is for. Not to mention, it is kind of silly that he wants to put him in the HOS for over-grading ONE comic. He didn't have a problem with any of the other books, just the one. But he didn't want a partial refund that would have equaled the one book that he didn't like the grade of. Now he wants a full refund and the ability to keep all the books?! In this case, I'm more likely to put A.Romeo on my own "don't deal with" list. Both buyer and seller in this situation are wrong on so many counts. Joe as a business man I pride myself on great customer service. I don't want him on the HOS over misgrading a book...I want him in the HOS for how he handled the situation. If he was willing to work with me from the start we wouldn't be having this discussion

In this case, I'm more likely to put A.Romeo on my own "don't deal with" list. Both buyer and seller in this situation are wrong on so many counts. One book or a thousand books.. That one book is the one of value that isn't anywhere near what it was advertised to be and that one book was my reason for the purchase. Since you won't buy from me I do recommend you buy from www.thehouseofcomics.com. Since you don't mind buying over graded books and all If I wanted to buy ratty books at a sky-high price, I would buy these... oh wait, I'm not going to buy your books. 24 books for $35 ...yea ripoff you got me there

Appreciate your efforts in this some people won't agree with me and how I handle things it is what it is.
