I reread his feedback and decided this was not a unique occurrence based on the neutral. So I gave him his first negative with corresponding dsr's.
Wish you had mentioned the water damage and mildew throughout the book in the listing. Even though I am only out $6 I am not happy at all, the book should have been described better.

I missed it, and would have paid the $6 for the op' to cut the spine off and scan the item, then I'd have binned it. If I've got stuff coming over from TX in the future, I'll give you $6 for it, and send you the PDF when I'm done.Aside... Was it worth looking at? Any good reading or base material in there?

After I asked how he planned to package it (turns out he was just going to drop it in a bubble envelope and let my post office and mailman bend the hell out of it) I asked if he would put stiff cardboard in it. He will but now wants $5.99 for shipping.This pisses me off. I've been getting a number of packages where people are just dumping modules in manila envelopes, no plastic , no cardboard, not even a 'do not bend'. So now I ask each seller how they plan to package it. Some of these sellers take this as an excuse to double the shipping cost and I'm getting sick of it.

Inevitably the pile of 20+ mags are dropped into a box with no padding or protection, and when the box arrives at least one side is caved in (once I was just delivered a box with no mags and a torn up side) or the mags have slid around inside so much they have torn themselves to pieces. I cannot even begin to tell you how many times this has happened....I now email explicit instructions when I do purchase a mag lot in hopes of forstalling the inevitable damage.Mike B.

JasonZavoda wrote:Yeah, this burns me. All they need to do is to put the lot in a plastic bag, a supermarket bag is fine, then tape it solid. If it goes in a box, just use newspaper to pad it. If you use an envelope, just thick cardboard on both sides with the corners taped so they don't get dinged. Its cheap and its easy to do.If there are a bunch of mags, just make small solid packs of them. If they don't have supermarket bags they need to go to a dollar store and invest in a box of small trash can liners (they are about the same size as supermarket bags but have no handles). They go for about a box of 30 for $1So far it is like pulling teeth getting some of these sellers to tell me how they are going to ship a package.
