OK OK it was me i had a deal with someone (un named at the time) and had originally gave a $500 deposit and within almost a week wanted to meet in person to get the book, if that couldnt be done i would have paypal the rest (we said it would be cool to meet in person). I have reponded many times to the seller in wich im ignored again he said "quote actually saw stuff on the book that wouldnt give it the grade I expected so I didnt want to hold your money and I issued a refund right away, I am sorry but Ill explain more another day, I am dead tired right now."

 

I responded with i dont care i want it anyway and if it were money we could make it work. Never did i beat him up about price at all he told me a price i agreed. This happened last night, I come home today and see the book it someones sig pictures (Yes im 100% sure its the book).

 

I was nervous to come out and say all this and being good friends with Dan he started the thread, Im also new so i was nervous people would not believe me over a reputable person on the boards

Im just really pissed this book ment alot to me to owne something like this and maybe its weird but it gives me a crappy feeling in my stomach ( ive barely slept for 2 weeks waiting to get this book i know im weird but lol)

thanks for all the advice i greatly apreciate it

 

Don't feel bad. Nobody should be mad at you.

 

Offer was up. You pulled the trigger. Book is yours.

Yeah dude,don't beat yourself up

Just be happy you got your money back.

and plus you may even find the book you want for a better price :grin:

I haven't read the whole thread...just responding to Dan's initial post....

 

Yeah, it sucks. But I'd just tell your boy to move on. Pre-Robin Tec's are tough to come by, but they are out there. It's not a 'Tec 27 (or 31), so the pain isn't quite as great. Yes, it does suck. But, not the end of the world.

 

One of the great things about the hobby is that another one will come up. There are multiple copies of virtually every book out there. A great man once said "Patience is a virue" ( :grin:). That holds true with this hobby. A majority books are out there; and they'll become available at some point

 

What your boy is looking for is more rare than the standard fare, but they are out there.

 

 

Respectfully disagree. If it all went down like stated, and I have no reason yet to assume otherwise, this was really really wrong and should not be given the "Oh well, another will come along tratment"

 

Really hope this gets cleared up quick!

 

Thanks man. There are more important things in life than comic books..not many, but there are! lol We just feel he should be held accountable.

I don't doubt the story but are you positive that you can tell the exact same book from a small sig image?

 

It does seem convenient though that Bat-man removed his tec 37's so recently.

 

Yes its the book he only had 1 Tec 37 now today he had 2. The second one had tape stains on both sides of the cover. Plus i sent a PM to the seller saying i saw it in his sig pics and within minutes it was changed, but still no response from the seller to me.

Im not trying to rip up peoples reputations but i do feel i was wronged 100%, I honestly didnt think this many people would respond lol

The reason why I think he's so upset is because he will NOT find the book at a better price. This is a damn scarce book. How many Tec 37s are for sale right now? I don't even know as I'm not looking for one..but I'm sure not many if any...

 

If it was a AF15 or ASM #1, he'd take his money back, and be able to go buy the same book some place else. Just hard to do with a book so rare.

Dan has indicated they are looking to wait 24 hours to see if the seller responds, that is reasonable as no one other than Roy is at the comp 24/7.

 

If nothing happens by that point, THEN demand to know who it is.

Ya I posted this at 8:18 PM. I think it would be smart to be patient and give the seller 24 hours to respond.

 

Not like there is a huge rush anyway..the book is already gone! Too late to work out the deal again.

I re-read the thread. I don't think the buyer should feel bad.

 

This is a "seller" issue. No fault of the "buyer".

Only because Roy is addicted to internet porn...but such is life. :baiting:
