That is cerainly your opinion, Adam. But if a buyer buys $1500 worth of cards from me, and says he is missing 3 of the 80, I would usually take their word for it. I usually give my customers the benefit of the doubt. If the BP was 15% then they made $225 of GP. To give back a quarter of that, to a customer that says they were shorted and they believe it was my fault, is not asking too much, imo. Maybe the most important thing is it will probably KEEP THEM AS A CUSTOMER. Again, this is debatable and is just the way I would handle it. I guess I am a push over..... regards
