Guest Posted October 8, 2002 Share Posted October 8, 2002 stckwzrd1, Two simple questions: 1) WHY auction an ungraded item pictured in a CGC shell? 2) Do you truly believe the DD above is a NM/MT 9.8? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickdogg Posted October 8, 2002 Share Posted October 8, 2002 Since GRADING IS SUBJECTIVE I started a poll in another thread to see what grade this book would most likely fall under. Don't forget to put in your vote for NM/MT 9.8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 8, 2002 Share Posted October 8, 2002 Snizzenfixit: I have to disagree. A buyer's responsibility in a transaction does not begin and end with sending payment. That implies that the buyer does not need to treat the seller with respect, and occassionally this is the case once feedback is left for the buyer. If the seller leaves feedback for the buyer right away, unscrupulous buyers have been known to occassionally hold the seller "hostage" with feedback, suggesting unreasonable discounts under the threat of a neg, trying to suddenly negotiate their price, etc, etc...now granted, this is a somewhat rare occurrence. Feedback should be a reflection of the transaction as a whole, and if a buyer sends payment, waits for a positive comment, and then makes unreasonable demands, then they themselves do not deserve a positive remark. In addition, if a buyer knows that feedback has not yet been left for them, it could tend to give them pause before their actions...it can simply be a check for good behavior on both sides of the transaction. Now granted, there are sellers out there that withhold feedback for the reasons you have mentioned (and this is disappointing and poor business practice to be sure), but please realize that this is the exception and certainly not the rule, and more often it is just so the seller has equal footing in the transaction with the buyer.

snizzenfixit Posted October 8, 2002 Share Posted October 8, 2002 I have to disagree. That is fine, I have not and will not change my mind. Don't think for one minute that sellers do not hold feedback hostage. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 8, 2002 Share Posted October 8, 2002 Phil: Did you see this part of my post?"Now granted, there are sellers out there that withhold feedback for the reasons you have mentioned (and this is disappointing and poor business practice to be sure)" I am willing to accept that it does happen if you are willing to accept that this is not always the case, and that it can go the other way too...

snizzenfixit Posted October 8, 2002 Share Posted October 8, 2002 I am willing to accept that it does happen if you are willing to accept that this is not always the case, and that it can go the other way too... It can ALWAYS go the other way. insufficiently_thoughtful_persons can leave Neg feedback anytime. Regardless of whether you wait or not. The only way to prevent it is to leave your feedback only after the other party leaves theirs. This would be just another form of feedback hostage. The seller should leave their feedback first ... Period. It should be left upon reciept of payment ... Period. If a seller does not leave feedback for me within whatever I consider a reasonable time, then I will not leave feedback for them ... Ever. If a seller does not leave feedback for me in what I consider a reasonable time, I will not bid on future auctions from that seller ... Period. I realize that this somewhat limits my purchasing power over time, but I don't really care. The principle is more important to me. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darthdiesel Posted October 8, 2002 Share Posted October 8, 2002 Scottish - on a side note and in a feeble attempt to hijack this thread - I wheeled and dealed for a nice FN/VF??? copy of Hulk 181 this past Sunday. I need your blessing and it's off to CGC it goes.

CosmicBob Posted October 8, 2002 Share Posted October 8, 2002 At our local con, Graham Crackers had three unslabbed copies of this book, ranging from $900 to $1900. I didn't see a single copy anywhere at this con under $900. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
