1Cool Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 And I don't know if this is true or not but I got a pm that you supposedly traded a cgc 9.0 asm129 (1000+) for a raw ba12 (500?). ?? Yes that's true as well a big mistake on my part. It was a ba12 and $300 cash if I remember correctly. Don't sell yourself short(er). Pre show announcement that wouldn't have been a terrible trade if there was $300 instant cash on top of the book. The ASM 129 CGC 9.0 were going for $750 ish back then and a NMish copy of BA 12 would be a quick sale for $500 - $600. Problem is you are trading certainty with a graded book for a raw book. What if the book comes back trimmed or has a stain that drops it to a 8.0? If it should come back as a 8.0 or something that he didn't mention then I'll ask for the asm 129 9.0 back because I asked him if there's anything wrong with it and he said "no other then what I mentioned there's nothing wrong with it" and I'm holding him to it since I held up my end of the deal. Did you all agree to that prior to the trade? What if this happens and the guy says either "I sold the Spidey" or "Sorry, the deal was done awhile back"? Yes I agreed to it before I did the trade so that he knows what's up should he do something I'll file a claim with paypal then and notify comic book group admins what he did. There is no transaction for Paypal to freeze. Your only recourse is to out the seller and hope they live up to the agreement. But just like your question about the Russia guy - always do a benefit to cost assessment to avoid risk. You are looking to make money in comics and there is a lot "safer" money to made out there. Yes you have a point I'm PMing him right now and let's see what he'll say about if he sold the comic or not. Once you trade a book to someone its theirs to do what they want. PMing him asking him if he lied about keeping it will just burn a bridge. Just get the BA 12 fast tracked for $28 and see if it comes back a 9.4 like you think. Maybe post scans in the PGM section to see if you have cause for concern? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red84 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Do not email the ASM129 guy. That deal is done. Move forward. The only reason you'd have to follow up with that guy is if the book comes back restored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
