[I am not Glenda]

Local auction had this hard to find book Timley USA #11 (5.0/6.0) spine tear, ow pages, seller could not confirm any resto or not? ( as is, no refunds)........ With BP it was going to be around 4k+ Almost went one more bid ($4500+), should I have? ( Note: I would have sold this or traded it , not for my personal collection).

I wouldn't have done it.  Even if the seller allowed returns, life is too short to get caught in the quagmire.

This is a book that I see people offer for sale at multiples of guide, but I don't know if people are buying them or not.

Incidentally, Gator has one for sale in his current thread:

Ive bought and sold a lot of copies over the years, so there are definitely "sales" of the book..... maybe I can sell one more

Certainly one of the tougher USAs to track down, but I have always experienced the 8 to be the toughest.

Billy Parker has tried to steal mine on numerous occasions.

Yeah, but this one has a girl in an iron maiden.

cool, but not a Schomburg and the 8 completes the 8-7-10 trilogy cover story

Would loved to have known if there was writing elsewhere, and to have seen a couple pics of the interior.

I won something from that auction and tracked that book (not that I could afford it).  Due to COVID-19, it was all online, correct?  No local inspection?

No inspection?  No refunds?  No guarantee that there's been no restoration?  No way!  You did the right thing.
