Advice? Should I keep it or try and sell?

If he can get the prices he asks & the buyer is happy then all the power to him.

Wow you must be a real fan, that guy charges an arm & a leg for raw material!

 

Yes, he does charge an arm and a leg-why do you think I wear this Darth costume!

I'm almost out of limbs!

 

Seriously though, he has a website up now: www.nickkatradis.com. He sells some of his raw stuff up there too. Nice guy (No -No. Not MrNice). My only complaints are the somewhat high shipping costs. I feel like I can justify his costs considering the quality of the books and the business relationship we've been able to conduct over the past year or so. And he's a collector first, seller second. I've had to be be patient on getting requests.

 

Hope everyone is having a great holiday season.

However, he is usually within 1/2 point of the grade, and I've been overjoyed with the books.

 

Glad someone has. Or maybe I was just unlucky? Purchased 2 "NM+" books from him, and recieved 2 books that were quite a ways off from "NM+". But because I didn't have any nicer copies of either books, I let it go.

Banner bought an overgraded book from him too.

Sorry to hear about the overgrade. I've only had one book that was purchased as a 9.8 that was really something like a 9.0 (and I've bought about 25 books from him). The rest have been either dead on or within a .3-.5 swing-in my humble opinion. He's been reasonable to me and allowed returns if need be. Not that I'm trying to sell this guy to you; just telling you of my experiences with him.

 

You guys didn't find a gross over-grade with him, did you? (ie 9.8-really 8.0)

 

Happy New Year!

Nope but even if an advertised 9.8 is a 9.4 you still lose money 'cause of the arse rape price.
