Unfortunately, I have to side with the seller on this one. He described it as "great condition", you took that to mean NM/M.

There are no shortage of buyers who would pay $60 for a complete and decent GDQ1-7. Wait till there is only 1 or zero others up for auction on ebay and set it with a minimum bid of $70.00 and a BIN of $90. Make sure you make it available worldwide and I suspect that you will come out ahead. :D

Too many improperly described or damaged en route.I always ask if anyone in the household smokes, if its been water damaged, smells of smoke, mold or mildew.Buying from the original owner really helps as well.I've contacted people before about items that were water damaged or had mold/mildew problems. Always had those resolved to my satistfaction. I never deal with them again because of possible contamination of other items in their collection (I never open up stuff near my collection).My biggest problem is poor packing of items and damage en route. Its why I just mostly buy items to read/use now. That way a nick or ding isn't going to really drive me up the wall.

(Was also too trusting on the smoking part and had to effectively write off $300 recently. Interesting that <creep1962> is trying to obtain $1,199 for what I'm fairly sure will have a strong smoky smell, given the original seller's other lots...).
