never understood why pricing mistakes must be honored but buyers aren't expected to do the right thing and allow the mistake to be corrected

 

So, if you picked a book out of the $2 bin that you knew to be a steal, brought it to the counter and the LCS owner said "my mistake, that should be $50"...you'd be perfectly fine with that?

That's a good point, albeit a different issue...I don't think (all) pricing mistakes should be honored by the seller...there's a lot of "it depends" in that one...I've stated that opinion before.

 

Still a separate point...pricing mistakes...or whatever we want to call them...shouldn't be commented upon by the peanut gallery right there in someone's sales thread.

i wouldn't like it but if that's what he wants to price it at the counter i'm not going to make a fuss. people make mistakes. And that's happened before. If the price is still right I'll buy it if not then I'll pass.

 

none of these books are rare. books come and go.

there was a similar situation in moderns on a asm300 earlier this week. a 9.8 was price I think for $100 instead of $1100 the buyer was ok with letting the seller off the hook.

I get the impression that you don't believe me. that's fine.

 

I think you made a similar post earlier this year (or late last year) about allowing the seller an out if they made a pricing mistake.

I know what I would do in that situation and I'm not saying I don't believe you.

[jsilverjanet]

if you ever buy a book from me at a show, I'll be happy to raise the price when you bring it up to me

That was more of a typo and the seller absolutely should not have been held to it, especially since it was immediately rectified.

 

Ignorance in pricing is a different matter and seems more of a gray area.

I think I've bought a grand total of 1 book from you and you gave me a very nice price that wasn't asked for and I appreciated it. I think you're a very fair seller.

I gave it to you for free

Actually this one looked like a typo too. He put it at $75 and it should have been $275 by ospg. Given how the other books were priced as they related to guide it feels like a typo.

+1 - i don't believe the seller should be forced to eat this obvious mistake

[jimjum12]

I know I wouldn't eat a thousand dollar typo..... and wouldn't care if someone got angry about it..... who needs a customer like that anyway ? GOD BLESS...

I think another real possibility is that he used an older price guide. This book was not very expensive a few years ago. Perhaps this is why he has not spoken about it and appears to be honoring the sale. The thread has been cleaned up so who knows .

That would have to be a pretty old guide. I think the one I checked to see what it should have been was at least two years old.

That's not a VF anyways so no big loss.

$75 is less than VG guide on it.
