jreezy Posted November 29, 2015 Author Share Posted November 29, 2015 Looks like someone popped and bought that 9.6 for $3,900? At least that's what it says when I look it up. .. Crazy!

pandahouse Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) I was wondering why I got a bunch of messages asking if it really sold at that price then i looked it up on completed sales via search on ebay and realized it shows up as sold at the list price...which it definitely did not. It appears there's a bug in the ebay site if the buyer exhausted all his offers and I ended up making an offer to the buyer via the ask a question response form...interesting...

How does GPA track OBO auctions? Good question, I assumed that they did properly....watchcount says it sold for full price too, odd. Either the ebay bug is real, or the buyer doesn't want to admit overpaying. Jerome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandahouse Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) I took an offer at the exact price the last one sold @. I'm assuming the reason this isn't tracking correctly is that ebay is recording the sale price as full sale price on the listings on any item where the seller ended up making an offer to the buyer via the ask a question response form. I've tested that with a coworker today and sure enough it shows up as selling at full price at all the ebay stat trackers even though he took an 1 cent offer from me. This is actually something that could? be abused to throw off GPA data if it shows up at the wrong price when their api updates.

This is actually something that can definitely be abused to throw off GPA data. Edit: I don't have an active GPA account but if someone wants to fix it if it's recorded at 3900 there then I'll provide the seller dashboard showing the correct price. Woah, that is still pretty good even if you were sell it at the last price the other 9.6 sold for. I would definitely update GPA. I can imagine all the "skewed" GPA highs for books which were significantly less. Although, GPA really does not mean all too much when it comes to these variants . Right?

jreezy Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 An 8.0 raw. Might as well just set that thing auction style and let the market decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaydogrules Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 It looks better than that to me. He's right most of the defects are pressable. The only one that isn't is that little dog ear on the back. But even that could be significantly minimized. It probably could be a 9.0-9.2 as he says in his ad. -J.

It can definitely benefit from a press but I'm around a 8.5-9 pressed. I asked the seller for a better pic of the bottom edge on the front cover and the request was just ignored. Makes me think there's a bit of imperfection there that can't be clearly seen from the way the book is pictured. Still waiting for someone to post up a 9.8.

Probably been a few years since a 9.8 was available on feebay. Also, weird that the seller ignored your request for a better pic. It is not unreasonable at all given the asking price.
