Am I Being Unreasonable?

OK - I am now officially done with this. Life is way too short.

Thought you would enjoy the final exchange with this seller. I will not ruin this by trying to add commentary:

MY EMAIL:

Let me be clear on a few things, since you do not seem to be familiar with the significance of this discussion. First of all, your scan from the auction clearly shows that this fold did not exist at the time that you scanned it - therefore it is obvious that you folded it as part of the shipment process.

Folding it for shipping is - to be blunt - stupid. Most of the value of the strip is based on its condition - a folded strip is worth, at most, 1/3 of what an unfolded strip is worth. You would get a better price - and more satisfied customers - if you simply charged the extra money necessary to ship the strip in an oversize envelope or shipping tube, both of which are readily available from multiple sources.

I notice that your new listing says that the item is folded (though you are still using a scan from an unfolded card). If you still have an unfolded strip, please send me that strip and I will return the folded strip to you. I will even pay the return shipping on my item. For that matter, if you have multiple strips and want to make an accommodation involving a bulk purchase, I will make you a reasonable offer.

HIS/HER REPLY:
