There were two issues but they are related. Once I notified the seller that all was not well, in that he over graded the product, that was when the lowball comment came out, Seller stood by his erroneous grading and would do nothing at all, apparently since he felt that he was lowballed. Frankly, I was taken aback. It's not like I offered 50% of the asking price. It was somewhere about 85% and if I've made an offer, I am serious and I am always prepared to negotiate. Indeed, I now recall another instance when I made an offer on a DAC. I truly thought the seller was on the high side. I made an offer and did the proposed seller tear me a new one for the outrageously insulting offer. Didn't bother with a counter offer, and I found a local guy with the same DAC- we made a deal and I picked it up. With the first guy, we are not talking about your wife or sister so cut the insult stuff. I just don't get why it's so hard for some sellers to politely decline an offer.
When I sell I'm scrupulous about grading and tend to undergrade. In this internet trading thing, we have buy one thing going for us- a good established reputation.
