Yes, you did nothing wrong. Just let it go and move on. You got the $5 back, and take this as part of your lesson. That is how many of us grow up by learning from mistakes and do better next time. I am not blaming you at all. I get what you are trying to say. 

Some people see it as a “nice” copy in so many different views. 

Thank you

Was it fair for him to describe it as 'a nice copy'? Yes, he can say that because he has taken the time to upload corresponding photos for you to corroborate this. He is letting you decide for yourself if his statement is accurate and if the price you are paying for the item is in line with your perception of it.

Wow, almost identical situation with the same excuses. Talk about not learning a lesson.

Not sure what single excuse I made in either post I admitted both times I was wrong for not looking at the pictures better

Thanks, but was it fair for him to say nice copy in the listing?

Nice is not an industry term that applies to the condition of a comic book. Therefor it is subjective.

To be fair, EVERYTHING about grading and description of comics is subjective - THAT should be part of the lesson. 

If you don't know the language, terminology, etc., or are INCAPABLE of applying a reasonable amount of due diligence, you are operating blindly in the dark.  EXPECT to get worked over by the ample amount of shysters, felons and ignoramuses that operate in this hobby.

Review the bidding history on this item above-- what we have here is a thrill bidder or something. NINE times you bid on this item. NINE times you failed to look at the pictures where the description states "SEE SCANS"  as well as the text description.

Go whine somewhere else with this BS about "he called it a nice copy" -- clown.

This will be the fifth time I admitted I was wrong for not looking at the pics better.

yeah-- welcome to my ignore pile. I had cleaned it out before Christmas but you are officially on the list.

There is no need for the name calling and the threats here.  He is clearly a novice comic collector/buyer.  But there is really no need to threaten by blocking him and calling him a clown.  Really not necessary in any way.

Look Yodisd.  A seller can call the comic book perfect, destroyed, nice, amazing, wonderful.....doesnt matter.  It is your responsibility to examine the photos, look at the details you see in the pics and make your own determination of the grade.  Even is he used a comic grading term like VG+ or VF its still your job as a buyer to look at all the pics and judge for yourself.  Now, if the pics are not clear....DO NOT BID ON IT.  This is my advice, its also a very cheap lesson.  I know people who have made that mistake for thousands and not $22.  Good luck in the future and hope not too many people on here Ban or block you because im sure that will greatly ruin your life.

How the heck do you think it’s ok for someone to label a book with tears, holes, staples and tape as a nice copy??

Your continual insistence on hinging your entire argument on the seller's  use of the word "nice" is bringing you down.  It is clear to see that this book is a mess.  If the seller had used the word "mint" and posted the same pictures, would you have bought it, also, and expected a better book?
