Grading Scans...

[Monkeyman]

Seems the originator of this Thread has some "history"?

 

Yep, he posted some books for sale in the marketplace, and then didn't honor the prices he had listed. When someone posted the "I'll Take It!" he simply said he couldn't possibly sell them at that price...

 

Here's a link that explains what is going on:

That Sucks. Bringing this thread back on topic, I have to say I find scans a useful aid when grading my own books; supersized images often help me identify problems I wouldn’t ordinarily see.

 

I find that a scan, when the book is nice and square on the scanner, really shows up miss cuts. Sometimes I won't notice the miscut until I see the scan and then it really jumps out.

It seems most LCS have an onsite grader.

 

 

most (if they have a grader) have a semi- drugged out looooser guy with a priceguide... not that theres anything wrong with that , as long as he/she can grade and price right ....

What's the going salary for an on-site grader? Afterall, in terms of business strategy, look how much revenue it would bring in. (I'm joking by the way. )

Oh, I thought the on-site grader was the "designated buyer" -- you know, the guy that says "Yeah, nice granny-lady, but you see, we already HAVE an Action Comics #1 but I guess I can go ahead and buy yours too. How's $1 sound? Hey, that's 10 times cover price!"

Yeah, you're right.. it's tough to find an honest dealer or anyone, maybe this is why we have CGC and fewer comic collectors.

 

Of course it's funny you should say that...how've your sales in the Marketplace been lately?

and AGAIN when he is called out...the crickets start chirping and the echoes resound in the empty hallways....

Why are we even humoring him by replying to any of his threads?

Why hasn't he been banned or suspended yet? Others have been punished for less haven't they?

I've been wondering that myself.

Krazy, if you ask me.

Well I have placed him on "ignore" - too bad we can't start a voting post "should lastyle7 be banned?' with a yes or no answer....
