If you check my feedback it speaks for itself. If you want to pay 10 times for

a CGC book then go right ahead. My comics are quality books at an affordable

price that can be sent to CGC for a huge profit once graded by them. Please

make sure that you run this by the forum also.

What amazes me is that 'haytruck' has the nerve to explain you can make a huge profit buying one book from him and sending it to CGC !

Why wouldn't he do that with his comics in the first place

 

Probably because he hates profit

After reading this forum, I was curious. So I purchased a JIM 121 from him in "CGC Ready" 9.2 for $55. Here is the link:

 

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2222696983

 

I received an 8.0 at best. Here are the defects on the book:

 

1) 1/2" bottom right corner crease front cover

2) 1" bottom left corner crease back cover

3) 1 1/2" top left corner crease back cover

4) spine stress and abraded corners

5) foxing on front cover

 

He's offering me zero refund since "all sales are final".

Sound like a neg in the making. That amount of creasing sounds like a VG/FN to me, not that you can tell from his lousy pic. And no refunds? Look, anyone who understands that there can be genuine, honest disagreements regarding the finer points of grading offers refunds. "No refunds" to me always means the seller knows perfectly well that the item will not be satisfactory

Maybe it wasn't CGC ready yet,.......

[ScarFace-migration]

Neg dat sucker and mention da awful grading.

[qualitycomix]

I scanned the book. Here's it is:

Yep, 7.5 - 8.0, which is, as you know, a little worse than your average overgrader. That book is v. common in that grade. CGC ready? Not worth CGCing, basically.

[wrcomics]

I would be hard pressed to grade this an 8.0 based off the scans because I can't determine the ink reflectivity. From what I can see, it appears to be more of a 6.5-7.0. All four corners are visibly rounded, hard crease BRC, extensive spine stress, and some foxing. I really dislike sellers like this "haytruck" because it makes selling on ebay that much more difficult due to increased apprehension. He further aggravates what I perceive as a stressed relationship between buyers and sellers> I would love to see the powers the "Be"-Bay permanently PLONK him in the NARU pile.

I think CGC would give it a 7.5, book in hand. It's could garner an 8.0 but it's a stretch. Here is what Abe claims:

I asked if he could provide me a list of the professionals that he has on staff. Maybe someone's heard of them?

[wrcomics]

Did you ask the guy if what he graded and what was shipped were the same thing? From what I saw on the scan it fails to "2" on the bend w/no color break! What an ARSE! Methinks ebay needs to spank his booty!

[qualitycomix]

Yes, and that was exactly my response:

"1/16" is not the same as 1 1/2" is it?"

 

followed by his response:

"> > No it is not. However, when the book was shipped it did NOT

He really seems like a total insufficiently_thoughtful_person. I would leave at least a neutral (if his manner in dealing with you post auction has been irritating and frustrating, a negative may be more applicable). Then if you're up to it I would file a NSS against him to at least let eBay know this "gentleman" is making a habit of keyword spamming as well as delivering misrepresented merchandise. You probably wouldn't have much effect against a big power seller, but against a smaller seller like this guy it may accomplish something.
