What's the difference in value between a blue label and a qualified in this case?  Can we put a dollar amount to it?

If you're not hearing back, the boardie may be weighing his options, and asking others what his liability is.  I'd like to know who it is, but I don't need to know as long as you come to a beneficial outcome.  If he stonewalls you, I see an entertaining Friday thread in our future! :banana:

Not hard to find if you look.

I can't get past the 6 months ....   this was purchased back in May ...... I found the transaction the return policy was "upon receipt" ............. I would suggest  it would be better working toward across the board selling standards that everyone must agree to instead of making examples of individual sellers and questioning their character ....

The problem is returns in the past have been based on receipt and examination of a book.   Now problems are appearing after submission to a third party like CGC and it takes a significant amount of time to discover these problems.  I'd suggest that a proper return policy should provide enough time for a submission to a third party grading company.

I don't have GPA.  Feel free to answer the question.

Sorry, I meant who sold the book. 

lol I spent a 1/2 hour this morning and I couldn't find it...., probably because I was using the board's search function instead of google

And if he would have submitted the book immediately and let them run standard speed through the system, it could have taken 4 months of that time. Add in the pressing service, and you're pressing right up against six months....So it's not really like he sat on his behind for 6 months.

I think the poster was saying...

I found the transaction. The return with refund is upon receipt of item.

Not wait till it is graded

I don't think that's what he's saying. 

The seller may have missed the married cover and the buyer didn't see it, but sent it to be authenticated.

Being a diligent buyer doesn't also mean the buyer is more of an expert than the seller. 

Sending an item to a third party authenticator, without delay, and having the process take a while seems to cover the diligence portion.

Stating "waiting 6 months" as has been stated in this thread a few times is not accurate if we're looking to the buyer's care and attempts to authenticate.

Here's a common example:

Hulk 181 6.0 is currently averaging $1550

hulk 181 6.0 Qualified (MVS cut out) is going for $1000

I don't know if you mentioned this before but, did he read your PM?

I agree. I'm not taking sides though, this seems premature to put out a thread for a pm sent on Jan 2nd.... I still agree that the seller should do something, I'm just stating they may feel outed even though their name was not disclosed....

I've sent 3 PMs with no response.

I realize he hasn't responded, but you can tell whether or not he's seen them. 
There's a section at the top that shows when each person read the PM's last. I just wanted to know if he saw them and ignored you or hasn't even looked at them.

Hulk 181 is not a good book to gauge this. The prices for hulks restored, qualified or complete seem to be close to one another. It’s a highly desirable book in any condition

You're probably right.  I guess I chose that one because I knew there would be a lot of Qs

Yes that is disappointing. I don't know what more you can do if the person couldn't be bothered to type a quick reply... here's hoping :wishluck:
