Nschenks Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 (edited) Hello all! Just one big key for this one--here are the rules: - I will ignore any 'take it' posted here--you must PM me if you are interested in the book. - SHIPPING: No shipping outside of the USA at the moment (if you live in Canada and are really interested in this, PM me and maybe we can work something out—will likely be at cost). Insurance is included in the cost of the book. Needless to say, the package will be bomb-proof. - RETURNS: No returns on slabbed books. - PAYMENT: Expected within 3 days of receiving the invoice in your PM. At this time (still pretty new to the forums, and I want to make sure everyone is comfortable), I am only accepting PayPal ‘goods and services’. If you are comfortable with other forms and wish to pay by some other method, shoot me a PM and we can discuss further. *ADDENDUM: Because I need to move this book and really don't want to go the feeBay route, I am willing to accept the following: Zelle, check, money order (and for these methods--and IF you are an established CGC member with a good sales record on the site--I am willing to ship the book before payment as a gesture of goodwill since I am a newer member - OFFERS: No offers on this one--price is firm. - Finally, no HOS’s or Probies. And I apologize beforehand for the reflections—I don’t yet have a scanner, so I did the best I could with the slab. Just hit me up if you want more pictures/information. Thanks everyone and good luck! Edited May 22, 2023 by Nsschenks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Linguini Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Looks like a nice book. Please try harder on the photos. Why go to the trouble to sell such a nice book but you can't supply good photos ? You are hurting your chances of getting a good sale. GLWTS. JL Nschenks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JL Totally reasonable--I don't have a scanner, but I will try and update the photos in a bit with more detail.

I have a 7.5 as well so I looked up this sale. In this instance the $5280 does include the Buyer's Premium (but not tax and shipping, etc)...

Jack Linguini Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Excellent. You can see the colors are really good on this one. Thanks for taking the criticism nicely. I don't like to be a jerk. really nice 7.5 JL Nschenks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll edit my listing (though I suppose taxes could tack on another $300-400, right?) And thanks for the heads up!

Nschenks Posted May 21, 2023 Author Share Posted May 21, 2023 Ok, last post I swear! One more offer for this book, which I will run through tonight: I am willing to offer this at $5,100 shipped if you can pay by a no-fee method (Zelle, check, money order). As a gesture of good-will since I am a newer member, I am willing to ship the book before receiving payment if you opt for this route. That said, if you are a lurker/scammer on these forums: do not try and take advantage of this--I am not stupid. If I do this, you must be an established CGC member with a good record on these forums. I've frequented the forums enough to recognize many of the regular buyers and sellers here, so I want to be as comfortable with this as you are. To adjust for this offer, I've changed the rules for priority--no longer accepting 'take it' posted here--you must PM me. If I receive multiple PM's, I will go by time. And if you have any questions about the book, please feel free to ask (I originally bought it here from a reputable seller and can provide a link if you require). I know this is a bit unorthodox, but again, I'd feel much more comfortable selling this here to someone with a good reputation in the community than to a rando on eBay. (And of course the original offer of $5,250 using PayPal 'Goods and Services' still stands). Thanks for looking everyone! I will close this by tomorrow morning at the latest if there are no takers.
