Well now that I've seen it, it was good, very eventful.

Didn't try on too much humor, but relied on story telling. Audience laughed several times, although it still plays to some events in reality that are internet memes and somehow fit.

Certain emotional aspects that are treated serious that are acted well, just not any comic I've hear of, nor anything I've read to be based on. I don't watch anything flash, but it was it's own kind of story for me, so stand alone for a first watch, but I can't speak to see if it affects the future.

It's worth noting that before the prescreen, they clarified this may of may not be what makes the final cut, but it started at 7:05 and ended 9:20, with no credits scenes just lights up and done. So idk, it was good though 

... 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.

This isn't slightly true, though. It's actually precisely the problem with this scenario.

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 would like to see the screen cap of his exact verbiage. It would clarify things a bit. 

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

yeh but this is not that industry.  Ever buy a house?  It's a more appropriate analogy.  Seller has to provide disclosures for what they purport to know - not what they should know.  In hindsight, their knowledge may be incomplete or faulty.  Buyer has a specific window of time to do inspections, but doesn't have to.  Buyer waives inspection and goes through with the purchase and subsequently discovers undisclosed or incorrect info about the house condition.  Can the buyer sue?  Absolutely.  Will they win?  Absolutely not.  Are they entitled to win?  Absolutely not.

As far as not "outing" the seller yet - giving them a chance to make it right...you think if they were to capitulate in the end that we still wouldn't deserve to know whether a seller is capable of performing a simple count, every time and without error?  As they represented to you they did?  That if you end up whole then no harm no foul and no jedi here to the rest of the community?

 

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.

People should not be making purchases of items they "do not know anything about". Period.

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.

At this point, I do not feel comfortable doing so. I really like to give people the benefit of the doubt and second chances.The seller at first said he made an honest mistake. His decision now not to communicate though is very troubling. I will post updates to the conclusion of this saga. 

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

Been waiting for tickets to go on sale for like 10 days now.

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 feel your pain.  Seems we are in the same encapsulation hold up.  Entered GEI 5/4 and 5/9.  

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.

No worse place to be stuck than GEI. Sigh.

@CGC Mike Mike, I honestly hate to waste your time with this stuff, but:

I have an order with 9 Fast Track Economy books and 1 Fast Track Modern book, received into the system April 11. All books went into GEI status on April 18 but have not budged since then. The delay to date is no big deal, but it feels worth asking about at this point. Is it a normal occurrence that GEI is taking so long? or worth checking on them to make sure they weren't misfiled somewhere?

 

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.

I think at this point it is hard to say where this will land. But with previous Gunn contributions, they have been good to great.

For me, I'm extremely disappointed all the cancellations and previous work write-offs Gunn/Safran delivered to go it on their own. Dismissing any of the previous work unless they had a hand in it. Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck and Gal Gadot had more than a few years to offer so as to wrap up their stories.

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.
