comic etiquette

Hey guys kinda new to the message boards, but I have something that I wanted to get some input on. I had a recent transaction that is kinda rubbing me the wrong way. Ok, whats your opinion on this? I recently made a transaction with a seller on ebay we did a trade cash deal on an ASM 3 I traded an ASM 129 at a 7.5 and another book. Here is my issue I recently seen that the seller cracked the CGC 7.5 129 and listed it as 8.5. I know this because there is writing on the back cover on the top right corner. Maybe I should let it go what do you think?

Did you get paid? That's all that matters. He can post it on ebay as an 11.0. Not your business even though its unscrupulous.

Out him here. You know so why would you keep it a secret?

[Mijael.Levy]

my humble opinion:

 

In my case i always buy the book not the number so if this guy did the same maybe the book is in better condition than 7.5, so he took the decision to crack the case and sell it as an 8.5

You might want to raise awareness that a book being advertised as a 8.5 was cracked out of a 7.5 case. However, after that you have no responsibility if someone gets hosed on a future deal involving a book you ethically moved on to someone else.

 

What they do with it after your transaction falls to them not you.

Thanks for the feedback. I think I will just let it go, I will just be super critical of his grading from now on.

That looks like an eBay 8.5

That looks like an eBay 8.5

 

That looks like an Ebay 9.8

Here is the slabbed version of the book... Note the back cover top right corner. I am only doing this to show awareness to stuff like this happening.
