bluehorseshoe Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 I’m shocked anyone bit on this stuff; the whole vibe of the thread made sending this person a dime a 100% pass. Beige and buttock 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like @Semicentennial mentioned - he'd been here for a long time. Had his post been written by a member who just joined, it would have been an easy pass. Someone who lurks around here for ten years - you'd think they get the general vibe of expectation in sales threads, and would be worth the risk of making a purchase. But yeah, this is a cautionary tale now. The policy of 'no returns because everything is insured' is going to be a red flag after this point.

Popular Post pickycollector Posted December 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 25, 2022 Although accurate grading and fair pricing is an important part of being a great seller, solid packaging is certainly as important. As a seller, I personally pack my books the same way I would like to receive them as a buyer, which means very solid packaging. When buying from a new seller, I always add shipping instructions to be sure that there will be no disappointment, I even had sellers refusing to sell to me because I did ask for solid packaging Everybody can make a mistake, if you do, just learn from it and make things right. Longshot975, your reputation worth more than a mere $200 and is the most valuable asset you can have in the comic industry, do the right thing, accept a return or offer a partial refund to your customer, learn from your mistake and pack better the next time. You may lose a little money on the short term but you will win on the long term by attracting new buyers which will more than offset this minor loss, just my Point Five, newshane, jimjum12 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semicentennial Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 (edited) While making the buyer completely, or partially, whole will be a step in the right direction, the seller's behavior and attitude towards potential buyer's in his many sales thread plus his current attitude with OP tells me he is not a seller I want to buy anything from. Owning up to your mistake immediately when it happens would have been the right way to handle the situation. Waiting days, and under pressure from forum members, to make the decision to handle the problem does not give me confidence that the seller wants to own the problem he created.

Wasn’t this the seller that lamented everyone for not be willing to pay his asking price because “everyone wants everything for free” or something like that? You can be on here forever and that’s not a recipe for things that are going to end well. Buy the book, not the grade, Dr. Balls. thehumantorch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His sales threads do look sketchy and his repeated comments about people not buying are worrisome. But longshot mentioned he needed money for medication and gas and that may have influenced this purchase. I’ve bought a few times from threads like that, one turned out ok and one turned into a year long headache jimjum12, Point Five and KCOComics 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't the return policy only added after CGC Mike told him to change it? Prior to that there was no mention of returns, only that books were insured.
