This just got messy

GLWTS!

I travel from Vancouver, BC so it's worth the long trek for me.  There are a few national dealers that you'll see on the West Coast shows but a larger majority of them tend to do only East Coast shows.  I have been going the last few years and I'm always able to find lots of books.  I can't comment  on the panels, as I don't attend any of them but the artist alley area is substantial.
The main con is that outside the inner harbour area, it could be pretty sketchy but thankfully, there are plenty of hotels close by.

Wait till PayPal decides the case. Then we should see some fireworks 
speaking of which has anyone notified PayPal of this thread. Someone should send them a link so they can also chime in

Had a recent issue with a transaction with seller on the boards
 
He sold me 2 copies of Avengers 55 without pics. Prior to sending payment he sent me pics of the books. Books were graded both as VG/F I sent payment via check.
 
7 days after sending payment I decided I wanted out of the deal. I offered $50 as payment for any lost time. He refused and said a deal was a deal. I said ok.
 
I received the books a few days later and found one of the books had a tear on the cover and tape on the inside of the book. When I went back to look at the pics that he had sent me via PM, those pics had been removed. I contacted the seller and asked if he knew of the tape. He said he did not but felt the comic still was in the grade he sold them to me. I disagreed and seller refused and said I only wanted a refund because I initially said I wanted out of the deal and was using this as an excuse to get my money back.
 
Tape is a 4 letter word in this community. Failure to acknowledge it prior to a sale whether intentional or unintentional is a big error. At minimum I should have received a partial refund. I believe that the seller would have refunded money to any other buyer but refused to me because of his belief that I was using it as an excuse.
 
Bottom line for me is we all buy and sell here as a whole. I may need to buy something from you tomorrow and sell you something next week, if we cant work things out and accept when we've made a mistake then we shouldn't be on these boards selling and buying under the pretense of collectors.

only for the one book - second book was fine and would have kept it.

It seems like that's the way this is going to go. While I understand the nature of Kudos thread and the purpose of this one, incidents like this are hard to place in a category as both of us will continue to buy and sell (except to each other). It's just frustrating because you expect everyone to operate under certain terms but I guess one should never make that assumption. I was handling this my way but was told to follow the proper process when having an issue so I did.
 
 

I never requested a full refund. i said the second book was fine. As for the other comments, yes I did put in the jibe in my sales thread, however I never directly named you. I have since removed that. I did put feedback on the kudos thread but it was not nasty. I stuck to the facts there as I did here. I acknowledge in both posts that I wanted out and I've never hidden that fact. I also acknowledge in both posts and in the PM messages that I accepted a deal is a deal.
 
Since I have your attention -
 
I'm curious why did you delete the pictures/posts in the PMs you sent me about the books after the books shipped?
 
As for buying without scans - I purchased the books based on your feedback. It said you grading was great and you are a good seller. I trusted you and while one book was great the second wasn't.
 
You acknowledged that you weren't aware of the tape (in the PM) so I'm curious if the tape wasn't part of your original grading process yet still fit the grade you gave it? I know if sold anyone a comic and failed to disclose the tape whether intentional or unintentional I would try to correct it and I'm sure you would to.
 
While you say I'm trying to find a way to get out of the deal, it appears that you are using my initial request out of the deal as a way to absolve you of any wrong doing with the tape and the refusal for any refund or trying to work out the matter.

Agreed. I am sticking to the facts in all my posts as I am familiar that emotion can distort the truth, and make things worse.
 
Again the facts are
 
1 - I wanted out of the deal, my mistake
2 - one of the books had tape and was not disclosed - his mistake
3 - refund requested (for one book) - original thread did not have any refund/return information, so I guess my mistake.
 
 

tape does affect in my opinion as that books resale value is not the same as a book without it but i see the groups point.
 
 

that's a tear on the cover by the bottom staple, cover is attached

I think if anything this discussion (sorry I haven't read all1800 posts prior to mine) has shown is that a return policy should probably be disclosed in sales threads
 
As for the mention of buying without scans. Gambit did provide scans before I sent my payment. I would not send money without seeing what I was buying however those pics were sent via PM. I can't compare them to mine as they have since been deleted.
 
 

Take it
