Galen130 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Is that foxing I'm seeing in spots near the spine, or just stains? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beige Posted July 20, 2021 Author Share Posted July 20, 2021 (edited) It seems nicer in hand - I think its just slightly faded,not foxing. My scanner does the whites not favours. There is an advert fitting that shape on the other side back page. It doesn't show as faded in normal light. I had it at about a 8.5 / 9.0 I bought it as a 9.0 / 9.2 but am 50 / 50 wether to send it back to seller.

Yeah - advertised as a 9.2 (along with another book as 9.8) - pics weren't great (but price was ok if grades worked out). The 9.8 was an 7.0 at best - huge CBCs across the cover. Not visible in pics, as the book was angled just enough to hide them. I always use paypal, in case of things like this, as this wasn't an ebay purchase. He would not refund despite being shown the damage - and all of a sudden his grading improved, quoting prices for 7.5 books, and lower grades on the other, and how it was still a good deal. Not much feedback when I found him on ebay - except on Funkos with unverified sigs. Which were odd, as the sigs were from people who I wouldn't expect to see in Australia. No COAs on any though. Too many red flags, refusing to refund until he got books back (which was reasonable I guess, but I paid before getting books as private sale from Gumtree, so reciprication would have been nice) - then started quoting prices like an expert on different grades. Couldn't be bothered to argue about a few $$$ here and there and things were starting to feel a bit sketchy so went the safe route. Opened return, seller accepted, books went back with tracking. I always pay with paypal and CC if things might go south. I initially gave him the benefit of the doubt, but the Funko's with unverified sigs, then him suddenly being an expert in grading / pricing - I think he knew what he was doing, and hoping to catch a newb. The dangers of Gumtree / Craigslist I guess - and of course no inspections in person as 70% of Australia is in Police / Army enforced lockdown. Still, all sorted via paypal, so no harm done.
