Bit of a Dilemma...

[stone384]

I recently won some auctions from a guy. When I received them they were not acurately graded. All the NM was vf-gd range. The problem is I really don't want to send them back. They were dirt cheap and I would like to keep them. Also because they were so cheap asking for a % of my money back is useless (50% of .98?) I am going to email the seller and give him a chance to make it right, i.e. avoid a negative or neutral. So what should I do? I don't want to neg the guy if he tried to make it right, but how can he make it right? What would you guys do? I don't want to tell him his grading is wrong and then leave a pos. It would feel dishonest. I don't want to leave him a neg if the guy genuinly tries to correct the error (how I don't know) and he says he doesn't want a neutral... Help!

I don't know what he could do to correct the situation. This is a toss up. Do neutral ratigs go toward the overall rating?

if you paid under $1, what do you expect the seller to do? Seems like there's really no room for them to make it better.

Keep the book(s), e-mail the seller that their grading sucks, & leave no feedback at all.

Actually, keep the books, leave a positive feedback and still say in said feedback that the seller's grading sucks, and that it was a good deal only because of price, yaddayaddayadda.

Hadn't thought of that one. That sounds like a winner

The only thing I don't like about leaving no feedback is, that that is your chance to tell everyone else out there something about this seller - such as the fact that while his prices are good, the books are over-graded.

True, true. I definately want to let others know about the poor grading. I may just go that route. Thanks!

That's what I do in this situation. I just did it a week or so ago. I just say "books listed as NM were VG-FN". It's not worth any hassle over a 99 cent auction, I figure, but it may help future buyers. If you neg, you know the seller will probably neg back, and it's just not worth it for such a tiny matter.

I don't think I've ever had so many people agree with me........

That's what I was thinking. I would just email the guy and explain that he needs to be more accuarte if he's going to list conditions.

Slym . I think I would do it that way too.
