If I was the buyer and got book at good price due to budget, and then saw another copy (and suddenly had the budget for 2 books), I would have told GG hey I got another copy-dont want you to feel like I used you-would you like it back at same price if you pay shipping? What I would not have done is sell it at a profit-I would realize the optics would look bad. And it wouldnt FEEL right.
So...if I was the buyer and found the same book at a lower price afterwards it would be OK to ask the seller to buy it back from me as long as I covered shipping?

I get that not everyone is like that. But it seems you are saying GG is like that ... that he feels betrayed because the the buyer gave the impression he was going to keep it, and he ended up not keeping it?
I don't get that either. He did pay the asking price, right? If the seller had sold it at a lower price based on his stated desire to "love it and keep it forever and call it George", then ehh... maybe I can see his viewpoint. Even then you do a person a favor at your own risk. But if he paid the asking price (that's my understanding) he should be able to do whatever he wants without any apologies. Burn it in his fireplace. Use it for toiler paper. Whatever. If the seller sold it for too low a price, that's on him.

Am I missing something? A person put up a book for sale. Another person purchased that book at the asking price. He then sold the book that he now owned for a profit. Am I wrong on how all this went down?

The book being properly hydrated is just as important as the skill of the one pressing the book.
I'm guessing misting it with a water bottle before I take it into my $7 presser will not provide the same result.

It’s definitely possible if it’s pressed before putting in a humidity chamber. It really matters on how long it was left with that bad bend. I don’t see a press getting it 100% clean, honestly. The breaking may get slightly worse, it might still have a slight tic there, not sure. I would still get it pressed, though.
Humidity chamber? Wow. I know even less about pressing that I thought. I have a roughly $50 book I was going to get pressed by the local comic store than only charges $7. I may want to reconsider that.

Kind of impossible to say, because you cropped it.
I guess I slightly did. It's larger than normal size comic books. Uploaded additional images that might (or not) help.

I’ve spoken to some pressers and they say it shouldn’t be a problem to flatten it out. Assuming it does flatten out, would that improve your estimate?
Most definitely. But I don't have a lot of experience with pressing so I couldn't say how much. Hopefully people with more knowledge will chime in here.

5.5. I wouldn't pay for a C&P unless the book appreciates later on.

I kind of had a hard time following it all myself. But pretty sure it was your scenario one. Which, if so, we agree is OK. I think.
I'm just glad to know I'm not the only insomniac out there.
