I Can't Believe I Did This

[OldGuy]

So I see a CGC 9.2 copy of a book I've been looking for and I place the minimum bid of $14.95 thinking "What the heck, at that price I can't go wrong."

 

I completely forget about the auction, then last night I actually win the thing. So now you're thinking "What's the problem?" The problem is that because this was a low value book I BOUGHT THE LABEL and didn't bother to view the larger scans or read the description. So now I'm stuck with one of the worst 9.2 books I've ever seen.

 

Practice what you preach. Practice what you preach. Practice what you preach. Practice what you preach. Practice what you preach......................

Is that a combination of color migration from the inside cover and foxing? Either way, it's a seriously creepy book.

At least it was not TOO expensive a lesson. Trust me it could be worse.

OG, everyone has done this at some point, so don't beat yourself up. The problem with Buying the Book sometimes is that's it's very hard to do so from a scan on an Ebay auction.

Hello,

 

OldGuy, I sent you a PM about this, since this is my book. Did you get it?

 

Thanks,

I think the book is clean? It's just that transparency magnification effect perpetrated by scanning?

Well, I've got that issue and I've never seen anything like that on mine, white paper or no. Our climate is a bit cooler than yours, so your mileage may vary.

Michael has very generously offered to let me back out on the auction. I've accepted his kind offer and will in turn be paying his listing and final value fees. Thanks for the offer Michael. I wouldn't have asked to back out so I'm glad you're a member here and were nice enough to make the offer.

 

I promise that the next time we do business that we'll actually do business.

That was nice of Micheal. Stars for you.

I didn't renege, Michael offered to let me back out and I accepted. I fully intended on paying for the auction and never even considered not paying until I Michael offered me the opportunity.

I'll take the book if available - I was going to shill it when checking out your auctions until I saw oldguy100 and backed off...
