    I accepted my first partial refund today. I swore I would never do it, but he wanted me to send everything back to him, crushed box and all. Being the lazy slob that I am, I didn't want the hassle of finding a big enough box to fit everything and then waiting in line at the post office, so when he offered a partial, I accepted. Now I feel slimy.

    I know first hand how this feels. There is a problem that needs addressing, but you don't find out about it until you inquire. It doesn't feel very good and you lose confidence for those involved. The actual problem takes a backseat to the lack of communication.

    I've got 4 coming back as we speak, 3 more sitting at 'verified', & 10 more on their way there. And I'm feeling pretty confident. Normally, I print out the paper forms and write something like "Please no newton rings" on all the copies, but I see paper forms are a thing of the past now? They weren't available for this last submission.

    Yeah, that's pretty gross. I don't know why it should be so gross, it just is.

    This is exactly right. They were present, but to a way, way lesser extent. And it was so easy to slip an envelope in there to get rid of any that you noticed. I can't remember ... why did they redesign the slab? I know they had a reason, but I can't remember what it was. (but at least I don't have Alzheimer's )

    I gotta admit, I fell for it a couple of years ago. My son was standing next to me when I opened it, so I had to act like it was exactly what I wanted. (It was just a stupid Thor magnet. The issue where he's a frog.)

    In this case, can the OP open a case? If so, he should.

    I see a couple of broken eggs. And good luck with those books.

    Done and done. Thanks!

    Makes me wonder what they had to do to make it more presentable, and why they can't do it for every submission.

    I don't think the word 'probably' should be used anywhere on the label.

    Isn't this contradictory to Ride the Tiger's post a few hours ago?

    A question for the ebay gurus ... I recently cancelled a transaction. I may be overly cautious (and inviting criticism), but I don't like selling to 0 feedback members. So when a $260 dollar book recently sold to a 0 feedback member (who registered the day before), I cancelled it. My question is ... should I wait a certain amount of time before relisting it?

    Harassed how? I agree with you, btw.

    Not too bad. I remember 25-30 years ago thinking I'd never buy anything but long boxes, I saw no reason to buy short boxes. I see a long box these days and cringe. Oh, to be young again.

    Not important, just curious - when CGC sends back a large shipment like this, what's the maximum number of slabs they put in a box? (Surely, it isn't just one box.)

    Be sure to let us know how it turns out.
  23. Gaard
    That's an acceptable percentage. I think I'll roll the dice. Thanks.

    I have a pile that I'm vacillating about sending in. I don't have a problem gambling if the odds are in my favor - I know pretty much every sub has the rings to some extent, but I'm wondering if the majority of subs have an unacceptable amount or just a few.

    A reholder because of rings? On their dime or yours?
