Quote:Originally Posted by CaptainCanuck Yep I have to agree. If I had multiple copies of that book and didn't do the touch up. I'd take pic of another book and say I'm sending you this keep the other book as it has no value  |

Quote:Originally Posted by GanaSoth This doesn't really sound like "benefit of the doubt". Your call of course, but I'd think most people reading this will automatically assume it was his attempt to deceive, and got caught before making it right (and the seller could think that was your intent), despite the "A+ Seller thx", if that last part is even noticed after reading "color touched". If I were in your situation and was ultimately happy with the outcome, I'd say "great communication" or something to that effect. If I were giving him the benefit of the doubt. |

| @Siggy when I say I'm "giving him the benefit of the doubt" I'm saying instead of me giving him negative feedback right away, I'll let him try to make it right. It could be one of two ways here. A) he honestly didn't know it was color touched as he claims to have multiple copies B) he knew it was color touched and got caught What gets me is as soon as I opened up the eBay return case, all I said was "The comic has color touch to the spine; top & bottom corners. Was not listed as color touch in the description." I didn't provide pictures yet like I did here. His response was "I have several issues of this. I can replace your issue with one that's not restored. LMK" He didn't even ask for proof (pics)? If I sold a comic to someone & they claimed it's been restored, I'd have first asked for pictures before continuing. But he automatically said he would replace it with another copy that's not color touched. It just sounds fishy the more I think about it. |

| I don't agree. I think he did the right thing. You could have shown him pictures and he could sit there and say I don't see it..or you are wrong, and you would argue back. At the end of the day he did the right thing, regardless what he might think or feel and offered you a 100 percent replacement on his part. Aside from and nevermind that particular book, no offense intended is not quite a collectors grail in such high demand and short supply there will be world suffering to replace your retouched copy. Its a neat comic and all no offense intended Some people value their time over arguing about a 4-5 dollar comic. he might also be sensitive about his feedback and want to protect his rating. Who cares about pictures or who is right or wrong...lets do what is right and make a customer happy. That's how I see it. Sometimes no questions asked means.....no questions asked. |

| Agreed. we're taking about Sleepwalkers 1...$16 book shipping included. It wouldn't be worth my time putting any extra effort to analyze pictures. The correct response was; I have multiple copies and I will send you another one. sorry for the mix up. Had this been an expensive book then yes, show me pictures of what you think is colour touch. |

| After all the discussion, I still can't wrap my hands around why anyone - him or (if there was a) previous owner would color touch a $15 dollar book. Every deceitful screwball out there is out to make money when they pull nonsense. If you're out to make money, why would one take the time to even find a matching color; take a pen out and color this in? That activity alone is $15 of my time. This is like Bizarro World. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Nuffsaid111 Some people get a thrill out of the thought of cheating the system. After all, who would even check a low dollar book like this for color touch?? (That's what they would think.) There is a LOT of bs like this going on in the hobby today, especially with books being sent in for grading. People think that because they can do something to improve a comic that the grading company cannot detect, that it is acceptable. They don't think about the ethical or practical aspects of their actions. In fact, they can be harming the physical structure of a comic by introducing harmful chemicals, but because they don't get caught, it is ok. Well, it's not ok IMO. These people are not reputable and I wouldn't trust them to give me change for a dollar. |

| I always wondered about that too...I remember when I was up to buy my Hulk 1, and was talking to the dealer. He pointed out it has had black marker run down the spine of the book.....and said back in the day it was common practice to do that with books with black covers. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by GAC +1. He could have purchased a box of them when speculations started. Heck, there have been times when I was purchasing so much that I'd lose track of incoming boxes, and sometimes wouldn't open them for weeks. And I don't sell. I can only imagine how much more this would be for someone who sells a lot (or tries to). BUT There was nothing stopping him from inspecting the book before shipping. BUT He may not have known what to look for, depending on his experience and knowledge. |

EbayMafia private msg quote post Address this user | |
| Based on the dealers response these books have little value to him and I really doubt he is going through and doing color-touch. Probably bought a stack of cheap comics from someone who figured he would not do a thorough inspection. I once sold a lower grade X-men 14 that I had for 20 years. Since it was lower grade I didn't inspect it before selling. The buyer got the book and informed that it had color touch. I thought back twenty years and remembered the shady dealer I bought it from as a teenager. He completely fit the profile of a touch-up guy, so I did not ask for photos or proof. Just offered the buyer full refund or 50% off based on their word. |

| . This seller does have some negative/neutral feedback accusing him of sending a different and/or lower grade book than what was listed. In your case, @GanaSoth it seems like the book you received was different than the one pictured in the listing.  |
