Hopefully, the seller gets the message, but in my experience with the bad ones they don't care and don't want to take the time learn how either.

Bought a set of 6 1970 Unc sets....about $120....

Hoping that one of them would turn out to be a small date (sells by itself for about $60)...

And one of them was!

Yay!

$13!

My very first pre-George VI 50 cents! Yay!

Uncirculated set of coins

Not a brag but I thought I would post it anyway.

Punched the BIN on a NM Harby 0 pink from Mile High for $35.00 along with a few other books I was looking for (Tag 1&2, a Valiant Voice and I think Talent 1)

I get sent a regular Harby 0 . . .

I write them and calmly tell them what happened. They ask me to ship the book back to them, they will cover shipping via paypal and try to fix the problem.

As I am waiting, a week or 2 goes by and I see Mile High list another Harby 0 except now the BIN is $55.00 . . .

2 Days later I receive the shipping refund. And believe it or not . . . they send me the correct book and everything turned out OK

I wouldn't exactly call the book NM but VF/NM is close enough.

Just figured I would share

A Mint Set. One of every coin minted that year.

More like the "Overgrading Overpriced Man" of the comic industry.

Step 1: Take pictures of VG+ comics next to set.

Step 2: Sell on eBay as NEAR MINT!

Step 3 (Bonus): Take your time locating the books in your house and bill them as HARD TO FIND also.

Don't forget Step 4: Switch books with yellow stained ones and claim they are variant editions.......
