At least that would demonstrate some displeasure in the manner they've handled this, at least; and it's still a seven day auction going nowhere anytime soon.=(I'd love to see whoever claimed it's worth $200 put their money where their mouth is, though. Somehow I doubt it...).

faro wrote:@Mars: Erm, so you both agreed a legally binding transaction, he took your money, then unilaterally backed out?I'm not sure what idiot quoted $200 (as a spoiler), but given that he'd taken- and still has- your money I'm surprised to see anyone from around here bidding it up again... I'd personally be filing under shady/untrustworthy seller.(Yeah, this has happened to me, too, although not quite on that timescale...).Per my comment on The former Non-TSR Recent Fun Finds Thread • Page 28 • Collecting General - Non TSR • The Acaeum , $50 is a fair price - and I paid less than that ($45-ish) on a full 7-day sale on eBay last year.

Mars wrote:I made an offer of $40 (hence his starting price) + $8 for shipping which I thought was fair considering it has a name inside and an 1.5 inch embossing on the cover. I even received this email from:"Just a quick to confirm that I received your payment of $48.00 throughPaypal. The Necromican book will go out to you tomorrow at the followingaddress via airmail letter post: ..."Then this morning I get the email:"I am refunding all your money, as I have reconsidered selling the Necromican book offline. Due to the unexpected interest expressed by several people, I believe it is more fair to everyone to list it separately on eBay."When I inquired about this he then says that the fair market value is upto $200. Looking at this email again, I guess it was nice of him to refund ALL my money (eventually I hope) and not charge me a self imposed restocking fee.Easy come easy go I guess. I am curious to see what this one ends at but I don't really want to pay a premium price for a blacked out name and 1.5 inch cover embossing so I don't mind waiting for the next one.I suppose if I really wanted to push the subject I'm sure there is a small claims court case in there - I could have Judge Judy sort it out Just out of curiousity, I sent an email off to Paypal to see what they say about it. BTW, I don't begrudge anyone who wants to bid on the auction - not that I'm a big fish in the sea anyway
