Much like the recent thread concerning a new buyer; It isn't the buyer's job to educate the seller (aside from returning an item) any more than it's the seller's job to educate the buyer. This seller is selling another slabbed 9.8 ASM 700. If any of you buy it MAKE SURE TO ASK FOR SECURE SHIPPING!

Which I dont think it is, the sealed mylar that the book is encased in also has the label encased, the slab being unsealed doesn't matter to my knowledge. And barring all that, cgc would determine that it needs to be regraded if it waw all too far gone for sure Thanks, yes that is exactly what I meant. I did not know the label was encased in the same mylar as the book, hence why I thought those seals were really the end all be all.

No Problem As I stated after that, the newer cases the label is incased in mylar with the book, older labels maybe not, but older labels, the label IS encased in a different well than the book and mylar CGC would be able to tell if the book needs regrading for sure though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Pontoon Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 1 hour ago, Turtle said: I NEVER ask for secure shipping. I always feel it's insulting to the seller. I find it insulting when the buyer sends a message saying "be sure to pack this securely for shipping! ". My outgoing message reads "You got it, boss!". My inner monologue is "This guy must think I'm a insufficiently_thoughtful_person!". If my feedback is littered with comments like "flimsy packaging" or the like, then sure, a gentle nudge is warranted. But when my feedback is loaded with "fast/secure shipping" comments, don't call me a insufficiently_thoughtful_person, please. Different strokes... This drives me nuts as well, but I always send a polite, professional response, it's just part of doing business. I chalk part of it up to folks who don't look at feedback very closely and folks who've been burned before. There are always those sellers with high feedback but poor shipping practices who pull out the “I’ve shipped hundreds of books this way and never had a problem before” line when a package arrives wrecked.

Whatever..... I'm going to send it back and be done with it. 4 hours ago, gadzukes said: This seller is selling another slabbed 9.8 ASM 700. If any of you buy it MAKE SURE TO ASK FOR SECURE SHIPPING! So, he doesn't know comics (or shipping them) but he suddenly has multiple expensive 9.8s? Edited February 28, 2020 by Spidey 62 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I know it doesn't seem to make sense, but after lots of back and forth communication I think he (possibly she) is telling the truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadzukes Posted February 28, 2020 Author Share Posted February 28, 2020 I shipped it back today insured with sig conf. He/she said they'd reimburse my shipping too so we'll see what happens. ADAMANTIUM and Deadpoolica 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
