Note from BUYER:

 

thank you? has this book been pressed? want to give it to a PROFESSIONAL PRESSER if it hasnt. if it has dont want to waste my money, BUYER

[Transplant]

So what's the controversy? There're asking whether it's been pressed. You can respond or not.

[Dick Pontoon]

Shouldn't they have asked before the sale was consummated?

[whisp]

Yeah they payed then asked if it was pressed. Buyers issue.

 

Was the book pressed?

[oakman29]

Wha! He asks you this after all arrangements have been made? pressing is the devil.

[chrisco37]

It seems to me he is asking if the book has been pressed.

 

If yes, he doesn't need to "waste his money" sending it to someone.

 

If no, he will be sending it off to press.

 

 

It doesn't appear that he is trying to back out of the deal. He just doesn't want to spend his money on pressing if it has already been done.

 

He just asked it in a very poor (ie, difficult to understand) manner.

 

At least, that's how I'm reading it.

Yup. That's how I got it too. Looks like it may have been a "Smartphone" message.

[hockey&comicsguy]

I don't see what the big deal is.

 

Guy paid. So what if he asks about pressing after the fact. He already went through with payment. Answer his question and ship him his book.

 

He already paid, he knows he paid and he knows he probably should've asked prior to bidding but he didn't. Oh well. You've got money in hand so until there's an indication that he would try to reneg on the deal somehow, i'd not be concerned and would simply answer the question. The book is his now. Who knows why he wants to press it? Maybe he's totally fine with not being able to press it.....hence why he's already paid.

A-ha! Okay, that's more reasonable then. I took it as he didn't want the book now if it had been pressed already.

 

Too bad Tuppenny won't be posting in this thread again. I'm curious if he feels the book would benefit from a press, because pressing is not a panacea for all comic ills.

 

Good lord, I've been tricked into posting in a pressing thread. On a Friday no less.

[Blind Owl]

This seems like a No-Brainer to me.

 

All of these questions should have been asked and discussed before the money exchanged hands.

[Wally's Comics]

This is nothing but a bunch of mutha pressing bull press!

 

Garsh Spoon it!

There is nothing more to add or explain about the facts.

 

 

There is! It would be extremely helpful to know if the Great and Almighty TuppennyConan assumed the buyer meant

 

1) he didn't want to waste his money on the purchase of the book if it were pressed

 

or

 

2) he didn't want to waste his money on having the book pressed if it was already pressed.

 

If the answer is #2 then this is the lamest thread ever.

Until the name of the dirt-bag presser is disclosed, this thread is worthless

[Wally's Comics]

pressing is the devil.

 

 

MA, MA, MA, MAMMA SAID IT WAS...

Not ones from Iowa, I hope.

Dogs eggs?
