But in all seriousness...

 

During the week, I don't have a whole lot of time to look through the threads, unless the strap line indicates something I'm actively looking for.

 

However, tonight I've been out with the wife, had a few beers and some great food, and am totally relaxed.

 

So I thought I'd kick back and catch up with what might be for sale that I can drop a bit of coin on and...holy sh!te!!!! :o

 

Seriously, folks, noobs and some folk who should know better...up your game, please. :eek:

OK, maybe it's just me...and maybe the beer has taken it's toll on my eye-sight, but...

 

Does anyone else think, judging by the grades assigned and the scans offered...

 

That a goodly number of the noobs are totally incapable of grading for sh!te? (shrug)

 

Are we becoming eBay lite? :eek:

Has nothing to do with being a noob. :gossip:

Nah, that's not what I'm saying. Everyone grades differently and has their own little pet hates and things they'll go a bit easier on. You'll always get a slight difference in people's grades...that's the subjectivity of it.

 

What I'm talking about is obvious stuff that unarguably disqualifies books from the grades claimed...and there's just too many books recently that fall into that category. :(

The real answer is people are more looking for cheap azz deals and are ignoring the obvious just because they are stoopid. They deserve what they get. ^^

Mm Yeah, I'd probably go with you on this one. Maybe I'm wrong for saying this, but if the prices are below guide for the grade I believe the book to be, then it's less bothersome. But the problem is still there all the same.

OK, as explanations go, I can sort of live with that.

 

However, why does that mean that the people who do have a clue, have to ask similarly stupidly low prices to shift stuff? (shrug)
