... the theater was located on Mockingbird Lane? Please tell me there is a 1313 Mockingbird Lane in your city. Please.

I really didn't expect to feel this annoyed when the TATs for Economy are 30 days normal and 20 days FT.

ok that’s a relief. The dialogue sounded so bad!!

Just saw the mini trailer that dropped two days ago. Super intrigued with a shot of Thomas and Martha Wayne’s tombstones.

Anxiously awaiting Tarantino’s swan song, Kill Bill Volume III.

In that sense yes. But if you or I were buying a diamond, and the diamond seller, in writing, purported that we we were indeed buying a genuine diamond. And we later had that diamond certified and it turned out to be glass, we would sue and hopefully get our money back. FOR THE RECORD, I foresee no future situation where you and I would be purchasing a diamond together. You seem like a decent guy, but there is no way it would work out. I’m a Gunn guy, you are a Snyder guy. It just can’t work. It’s not you, it’s me.

Based on the facts he gave us, it is true. Again, if Seller sold the book “as-is”, or gave an opinion as what he believed the grade was, or even said it looked like it was a complete book, then Buyer would be out of luck. Caveat Emptor would apply. Seller misrepresented (in writing) to buyer that book was complete (not his opinion, but fact that it was complete). Buyer relied on that representation (he was induced to buy that book BASED on that misrepresentation). OP wrote he believed opening the book might mess with its integrity (head scratcher, but that was his belief). Buyer only learned of that representation AFTER sending to 3rd party. Seller admits to buyer he made an honest mistake. This is precisely why Sellers of used items use words like “as-is”, or “I’m not a professional grader”. On another note, consider having to open up every box you bring home from the supermarket to make sure there is food in the boxes and not rocks? Who would want to be a part of that type of society? Seller should have protected himself by simply stating it looks like it is complete or even that he thinks it may be. Once Seller wrote that it IS INDEED complete, buyer was induced to make the purchase. It’s also 60 days later, and while that is over the 30 day period period, it still seems like a reasonable amount of time to me at least. Maybe it isn’t. We will see (hopefully if OP ever comes back to this thread).

Nothing to worry about. Great seller.

I agree 100%. I’m going only by what OP has stated. No offense to OP, but there could be more to this story.

With misrepresentation, the rules change completely. In your real estate scenario if there were any misrepresentation or fraud (ex. Seller states in writing that the boiler or oven is new when it isn’t, or seller states there are no known leaks but it’s later discovered seller patched up the ceiling to hide the leaks) then Buyer can sue and will win regardless of the window of time that passes. Seller is not saying, house “as is” and instead is stating the examples I gave. It changes everything. OP is a victim of misrepresentation here. Seller, in writing, stated the book had no missing pages. Further, when buyer notified the Seller of the missing centerfold, seller admitted that he negligently misrepresented that the book was complete. It was an honest mistake. I agree with many here that Buyer should have inspected the book. If Seller stated the book was complete when he sent it to the Buyer and Seller claimed it may have been CGC at fault, then Buyer would have been completely out of luck. Who is to say that CGC didn’t mangle the centerfold at that point? But Seller admitted to his misrepresentation. Changes everything. I believe buyer should get a FULL refund based on relying on that misrepresentation. CGC costs are on the buyer. No way seller should pay for that.

I disagree. And so does the law. Otherwise we would live in a pretty messed up civilization.

P.S. @O Doyle Rules if things don't work out your way, you can always ask Ebay to reconsider the 30 day guarantee in your case because you had to send the item to an impartial 3rd party (CGC) in order to see if the seller misrepresented the item. Also, throw in some language that you "relied on his promise" that the book was complete. Worth a shot.

That's the classy move. Give him a chance to make it right.

There is no way of knowing if Seller knowingly tried to pass off the book as complete so I am assuming the Seller made an honest mistake. However, Seller effectively admitted he didn't count the pages in the book and only assumed it was complete by offering to refund $ 100 to buyer. If Seller did indeed count the pages he would have told the Buyer to buzz off. Both buyer and Seller assumed the book was complete. Fair enough. We have all done it. Honest Seller Mistake, honest buyer mistake. No Biggie. But now that we know the book was missing the centerfold, the Seller should take the book back regardless of the Ebay 30 day policy. It clearly is the right thing to do. Buyer should also eat the $ lost on grading the book, and should also pay for return shipping. Right is right. Wrong is wrong. I don't blame the Buyer one bit here. He relied on the Seller's description. Seller made a mistake. Mistakes happen. How he handles his mistake separates a Good Dealer from an unscrupulous one.

It will be at least 18 months for Superman Legacy tickets to go on pre-sale.

Ask for full refund and return the book graded. Eat the grading costs and move on. Anything less than a full refund and make it your life’s mission to get him suspended from ebay, and ruin his name as a seller.

I can’t wait.

Looks like Joker Folie a Deux will be the only theatrical release in 2024... am I missing something else?

I also have FT Economy submissions held up in GEI in what seems to be forever. I wonder if they decided to catch up on all heir ME's in the Encapsulation room which also would explain the new bull#@$! ME policy. Who knows.

He looks like a young Cavill.

No worse place to be stuck than GEI. Sigh.

I have an 8 book FT that sped through received and SFG and is in GEI for a little over a week now. Wondering if there is a backup at Encapsulation right now.

Well, you got me there.

Unfortunately they inherited a MESS. I would have liked some closure too. However how much more could we expect WB to keep beating a dead horse? How many more 100s of millions lost and continued damage to their most important and recognizable IPs can they take? How defeatist can some factions of the DC fandom be to want Gunn to fail? It’s nuts.

it does make sense. So much sense that WB is staking unimaginable amounts of $ in Gunn’s vision and entrusting him with the biggest IP in the genre.
