Also, my concern is this. Let's say I list an ASM #1 Fine for $10,000. Someone says pending scan. I post the scan and then they say "I'll Pass" Now in actuality the book is a Fine and there is nothing wrong with it but what happened was in the time between posting and my putting up the scans the seller got cold feet for having to fork over $10,000 and used the escape clause of "not liking the scan" rather then just saying s/he didn't want to pay for it. Now in everyone else's mind there is a seed planted that there is something "wrong" with the book because why did person x pass on it and maybe they saw something that the other interested parties are missing. Thus people may pass on the book.

 

That is a good point and why someone posting a $10,000 book should have scans in the first place.

Excellent point

 

You post a scan with the book, all of discussion is out the window

Personally I think that pictures/scans should be a requirement in all listings. I get it, it's a pain to take pictures for a book thats $1.00. Ok so take a group shot.

If only there was some way to post the scan and the price in the same post at the same time. Sadly, we'll never know

In short: Put at least as much effort into taking our money as we put into making it.

[jaybuck43]

Eh my effort was pretty minimal. Kinda just didn't die in utero. So maybe a step up from that?

[MCMiles]

It's why the place is going to mess. Too many hustlers. Buyers and sellers are always trying to take any angle possible.

I think we tend to romanticize the "good ol days". I've only been here for 6 years and still consider myself a newb. When I was a fairly new member, I had some bad dealings ( probation list worthy ) with a couple of "well respected", long time members. I was even encouraged at the time privately to nominate these people for the probation list ( I didn't ). Is it worse now? Probably. But if it was ever "perfect", it must have been that way before I arrived.

It was never perfect. Was it better than it is now? Ab-so--lutely!
