Who should pay?

Just got an email from ComicLink,

 

Hi Tim;

 

This book arrived with a crack across the bottom of the holder on the back. The seller may not want to pay to reholder it given the market value of $90.

 

Now the book is a Cap 108 cgc 9.2 Boston Pedigree. I really dont think the final price should be taken into consideration if it should be reholdered or not. Now ae they trying to say I will have to pay for it to be reholdered after just paying $114 afte shipping and their fees to now pay about $50 more for it to be reholdered and shipped to and from. Who should pay?

The seller should reholder or at the very least offer to refund you the cost of reholdering, IMO.

I agree 100%. You should also be given the option to back out of the deal if you choose.

If it was cracked during shipping, then the seller should. It was due to his/her packaging that the slab sustained damage.

[Tatterdamillion]

You shouldn't but I doubt the seller would want to. I am not too stressed if it is a small crack as what I am buying is the book anyway. This is what us Martians refer to as an Olympus Mons impasse.

[HOTFLIPS]

Seller. You paid for shipping and Handling. Its their responsibility.

[nik]

Agreed.

 

If the book is not damaged the correct thing to do is have the seller reslab it at his/her cost and send you the book crack free.

 

Accidents do happen but they certainly can be corrected.

To correct myself, its not $50 to reholder.

[DrWatson]

Typically, ComicLink or Pedigree Comics will send it off to be re-holder for the seller and only charge the actual re-holdering fee.

 

I purchased a book from Doug that came in cracked and he had it fixed and charged the seller.

right, it is $9-$11 to clink (or any dealer account) for them to reholder + shipping costs to and from cgc, so still at least $30 to reholder one book

The seller shouldn't have to reslab it.The seller should have the option of either reslabbing it or calling off the deal.The buyer should be able to call off the deal,as well.Niether party should be forced to pay $50 to make right a $114 deal.

if you're anything like me you are boned! I'm currently trying to get my cash back via paypal from this guy ( different seller not same as you ) also what is this you are doing?.. You are dealing with a 3rd party shiping or something?..

 

Also was there insurance?.. If so you could try and get that from it since it was damaged during the ship!

No, That dont always have the book in their possession. So the seller sends the book to them, then they send it to me.I would ask if the book is damaged but will they really be able to tell? I guess If they dont reslab for me I will just take it and get it reholdered myself. I will submit it at a show to atleast save on shipping to CGC.
