Joe D.where I differ in opinion is this.
getting back his money -- from the original seller and the original seller only -- would have shown the buyers intention.
it seems that was proposed by the buyer - and the original seller declined.
so that ship has sailed.
of course.... bill could post a followup and let us know if he did or did not decline sending a full refund for return of the card and instead decided to send an additional card as compensation.
Here is a way to look at it from a collectors standpoint - and this is why I understand the position of the original buyer:
I do not particularly like writing on a card (except postcards). More importantly - if a 'flaw' is there that bothers me.... I don't want the card anymore. That is how I am. If I don't enjoy looking at it - I don't want it.
So, if I purchased a card that had noticeable writing on it. And it bothered me.... And the seller would not give me a full refund - but instead wanted to send me an additional card... I too would look to sell both cards for whatever I could get from them. I certainly wouldn't keep a card I no longer wanted to look at.
