Iqc23 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) Thanks for the warning. I know you looking out for the board members. I was thinking hard about to Ju st buy it now but that change. He didn't even answer my question about the grade of the book. That's a warning signal right there. Edited March 13, 2015 by Iqc23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcjames Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 My advice before popping that ebay auction for the raw (for anyone considering it) would be to request photos of the actual book before buying. The seller was very friendly in my communication with him, but with no other description aside from "NM", I was disappointed with the condition of the books I received from him. That's my honest opinion, not slandering because we're selling the same book. Were these NYCCs? He had a couple that sold a few days ago too.

zupaphly Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 i sent him a low ball OBO, and an email requesting info about condition along with some better pictures yesterday as soon as it popped up... have yet to get an email back... so now im kinda sketched out about the whole thing...

Iqc23 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 (edited) Someone bought it. I offer almost $300 didn't get a response. I think it's probably for the best. Edited March 14, 2015 by Iqc23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcjames Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Went for $325. Three different $325 offers all submitted just 26 seconds apart. Is it common for people to try sniping OBOs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iqc23 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Wow. I never heard of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PIR8 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Yea, that would be a weird game plan. I would think the goal with a BO listing would be to be the first to make an offer. Don't know what strategic advantage waiting until the last minute would give. Unless their hoping the seller gives in and accepts a low ball offer since it hadn't sold so far.

zupaphly Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 He sent 325 to me right after I started working... And didn't get a chance to accept it... Was pretty bummed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iqc23 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I know how you feel. It's funny a 9.8 sold for just over $300 a couple weeks ago and now a raw sold for over $300. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
