First off I am not " mudslinging " , I was simply exercising my right to leave feedback relevant to my experience of buying from yourself !
I guess I should expand on this and tell my side of the story , I bid on and won 23 2000ad progs on e-bay , every one of them was described by yourself as " outstanding condition and of the highest grade " anyone is welcome to check the descriptions on e-bay , I posted a chq for the winning amount + postage ( by the way does anyone else think that ?12.50 for postage on 23 comics is high ? yes well you tried to charge me ?17.50 until I complained and you dropped it to ?12.50 ) anyway as I said I posted payment instantly and waited , and waited and waited and eventually about 4 weeks later the comics turn up , only it was not the comics that I had bid and won on , sure the prog no,s were correct , but they were no where near the condition that you claimed they were , in my opinion ( formulated from research on websites etc ) they were all in VG/FN condition , so as you can understand I was pretty upset , I tried to contact yourself through e-mail twice with no reply , and had deleted the e-mail with your address on ( or I WOULD have sent a letter ) , so I posted negative feedback on e-bay , and low and behold you suddenly get in contact , granted maybe I should have only left a few neg comments , but then again , I should not have had to leave any !
What concerns me is that you obviously knew that the comics WERE NOT as described when you sent them to me , the fact that you told me on the phone that other people had complained about your descriptions and that you offered to swap me better examples of the comics if I was not happy ( how can you have better examples if the ones you sent me were " of the highest grade " ??? ) proves this , my feeling is that you thought you could off a few ordinary progs onto someone who did not know any better or even worse profit with higher bids for the comics !
As for you questioning my integrity and profesional conduct , I personally think that I am justified !
The reason for this post is just to put across my side of the story so people can make up their own mind !
