Misrepresentation

[novakjr]

Was the scan there when you bid? Regardless of what the listing says, the slab does say 1915.. I'm honestly not trying to be a d!ck.

No worries David, not being a dick .. it was there, my bad .. that's what made me more mad at myself. And Daryl, yes, easy to see picture/slab that it's a 1915 - I just focused on the title in the auction (via sorting on eBay) and the pic of the card itself. When I received, it came with another 1914 (this one was a 1914), I glanced, put them in a bin to hold them and didn't think anything of it.

That's a tough situation Ed. If only you would have noticed it prior to cracking the card out...

[Edwolf1963]

You're right, Daryl - that one I was kicking myself on. And part of me thought not even to write, just let it go - my bad in not noticing, caveat emptor, etc. I guess I sort of got in the "me" mode a bit and thought I'd at least let the Seller know. Perhaps he'd come back and apologize, not intended, maybe talk about trade back, something workable? Thinking if it were me, honestly, that's what I'd do - especially if I made a f-up in the listing. The ignoring, no replies started eating away at me - just felt like "too bad, you bought it, I made out - you're stuck with it" sort of thing.

Again, I do appreciate and respect opinions here. Too easy to fall into the how it made me feel, look at it from my perspective thing. That's why I posted here.

Thanks for your feedback!

Have 45 days passed since you paid? If not, there is still time to file a paypal dispute on the transaction. IMO the seller should accept a refund of the card.

[Edwolf1963]

Thanks, Dave - I filed that, he never replied to me in the ideas I suggested for resolution, something mutually acceptable - he just escalated it to eBay to resolve. They ruled in his favor bcse. I had cracked the card out of the holder.

He never said a word admitting it was a mistake or intentional. No repercussion for misleading item description.

IMO the seller should accept a refund of the card.

IMO the seller SHOULD NOT accept a refund of the card. It is not in the same condition as when he sent it out (ie, it is not in a grading companies case).

I was totally on your side until you cracked it out. Once you cracked it out, all bets are off. ALL of the grading companies (PSA, SGC, even CGC for comics) have warranties that entail the case being non-compromised. Once you compromised the case, as much as I hate to say it, you are own your own!

I'm on your side Ed. The tag clearly says 1914 - and the assumption is that you were buying a 1914. Tough situation when you crack it out though - I am sure that you would have gotten a full refund if you didn't crack it, but a good seller would have gotten back to you and at least apologized. But as you said, the misrepresentation in the title drove the price up to the point where at least two of you were paying way over what you would have had you know it wasn't a '14. You should have shipped it back to PSA for a reholder $5 fee, and then returned it. He wouldn't have a case then!

Just my two cents,

Tony
