Ebay seller misadvertised comic---do I sell it anyway or return?

[NTHstars]

I just bought a comic on ebay, advertised as unrestored, and the preliminary grading information shows it as trimmed and thus restored. Do I attempt to return the comic and eat the cost of grading, or do I hope I can at least sell it at what I invested in it?

 

Looks like a SA trimmed label is coming. Grade may otherwise be in the 9.4 range for a Spiderman 50.

 

i guess it depends what the market is for the comic at a restored level.

 

This news comes on my birthday. Happy birthday to me, your comic's worth less...

Who is the seller?

 

You have a right to return a book not as described or misrepresented. That right can lapse if you are tardy in enforcing it. So it depends on how long ago you bought it and the conditions under which it was sold.

 

I don't believe that right should cover your slabbing costs.

 

Given the caliber of the book I would politely ask for a refund.

 

You might get more responses to this question if you posted in comics general.

Sorry to hear the bad news. Hope your birthday picks up!

One important missing piece of info is how you feel about restored books in your collection. If you'd be prepared to keep it, but for a lower price, your course of action is different from what you'd do if you simply wanted your money back (or as much of it as possible).

Thanks for the responses. Unfortunately it's a bit too rich to keep right now. I am going to email the seller, hoping for a positive response.
