Popular Post gadzukes Posted April 13, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 13, 2022 I found a low grade DD 131 at a very reasonable price on ebay (seller didn't put the number 131 in the title so I got it pretty cheap). This morning the seller sent me photos proudly showing him "shipping" the comic and then gave me the Delivery confirmation #. Check out these photos. Fingers crossed that it'll get to me with limited damage. Thank God it's low grade already.

Tec-Tac-Toe Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 The USPS PM padded envelope appears used (unless USPS has requested lower grade production for them I write with tongue in cheek). Larryw7 and mysterymachine 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastballspecial Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 The fact the seller left it out told you were not dealing with a experienced seller. Ive had good luck sometimes and other times not so much. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Axe Elf Posted April 13, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 13, 2022 Besides the amateur packing job, I just find it really bizarre that someone would send 3 detailed pictures of them packing the comic for shipping. Like are they going to take the comic out before they mail it, then claim insurance because they have pics of them putting it IN the envelope? Or keep it and refuse your refund request because "it was in there when I mailed it." Or maybe he's just never sold a comic before, I dunno. Just weird.

musicmeta Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Oh my! Good luck with the delivery. Your mail carrier may just fold it up to fit in your mailbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadroch Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Are you concerned the 2.0 you bought will arrive as a 1.8? I'm trying to imagine what further harm that book may get in the mail? Were the mail handler to fold up the envelope and slide it thru a door slot, would it lower the grade? Engr62, KPR Comics and Upgrayedd2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sold you a book for less than its normal selling price. He then sent pics which show he is clueless about how to package books for shipping. He's trying to torment you.
