Joe D."The failure to indicate the pencil erasures in the listing is not offensive by itself; it was the use of the markings to haggle a lower price."
Jeff - unless I am reading the thread incorrectly....
the use of the marking was not used to haggle a lower price,
rather, it was used to request a refund and a return of the card.
This was not accepted by the seller - who preferred (by actual action) to send a card as compensation.
If I ask for a return of a product I am not happy with -
and the seller declines - but offers some sort of compensation -
I may very well take the new deal and look to sell both cards as is being done here.
It seems perfectly rational to me.
If it was such a bad resolution... why didn't the original seller just grant the refund and sell the cards elsewhere?
(I agree - the failure to indicate the pencil erasures in the listing was definitely a purposeful omission.)
