Why is this only a 2.0?

[Rob]

Why would you think that, BB?

there might still be a market for it and with the bad scan and a fairly presentable book, it might get more money than it deserves..........

 

That's key. I think there's a market for affordable books that are more presentable than their grade suggests. If I could only afford a 2.0, I'd choose that one over one that gets the 2.0 grade because it's creased and torn all over the cover.

Major defects:

 

Large spine split top

 

Spine splits center spine

 

cover detached from bottom staple

 

large stain through book

 

Very fragile

 

 

 

Hey, be happy. At least it sounds like it's got both staples!

[12cents-migration]

Thanks a lot guys. It's cool to see a book up there that seems like a really good deal and then get the low down from help in here. It almost gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling.

 

I agree with Rob in that I'd much rather have this 2.0 than one that's all beat up and mangled.

I disagree somewhat. This is a PERFECT book to have slabbed, as it sounds as though ANY handling would result in only further damage. But, personally, I am a structure freak, and would avoid this book.

 

Not to mention the small scan, no back cover scan, and not providing the Serial number in the ad. A 2.0 is a 2.0 is a 2.0, but I'd rather have my 1.8:

 

 

Oh, and when you or someone else buys it, then they can provide a decent scan to compare them - otherwise, you can't

That's what makes the hobby great. Everyone has their own style. I love books with detached covers that would otherwise be in the Fine range. I can get a nice book for Good price, just because the staples tore through. To me, that's much better than a beat book with attached staples.

hey Diva, i think he's talking about YOUR copy.......

[Rob]

Nah, Diva's copy is fine. I'd take it. For a key like that, I'll take coverless. (Actually bought 2 over the years, but sold them both.)

Who you callin' BEAT!

Well, you can keep valid information from sellers, but you won't be getting my money. As a customer-oriented eBayer, I can't imagine witholding information from potential buyers. Why would you want to swindle your customers?

[Aman619]

boy, sounds like Dan sure stepped into a steaming pile with that email!! whew!

He wasted even fewer words with me.

Way to go, DAN! Another of EBAY'S FINEST!

[Rob]

That really ticks me off! Why wouldn't you want your customers to know what they're buying?

[Red Hook]

DDS? (Dysfunctional Dealer Syndrome)

[the blob]

if they gave a good scan they wouldn't have to "disclose" serial numbers

 

they want over a grand for a book and they won't give a good scan or serial #? (well they did, but apparently someone there thinks they don't)

Yeah - the guy who gave me the serial no. probably got fired

[jimm94]

Aw c'mon guys, everyone knows you should buy the label and not the book. No one really wants to make an informed purchase decision when they're spending $1,000+ dollars anyway.

[CKB]

Very disappointing from such a "respected" dealer. It's so completly absurd I have a hard time believing Dan is sending those emails.
