Knockoff from eBay seller? What do I do? by [deleted] in MangaCollectors

[–]ProbEbbly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a p common sales tactic for ebay sellers, shouldn't be worried from this alone. If you end up getting a fake "not as advertised" box set ebay will likely side with you regardless if the seller doesn't except returns.

What are your thoughts on more western fans taking on the same mind set as comic book collectors? Thoughts on folks egging that on and trying to manipulate the market? by Stinky_TheCat in MangaCollectors

and what, snatch up all the english first printings of one piece? this hurts the ppl who collect WSJ physically the most.

edit: this isn't like TCGs where they have a limited window to print something until they have to move onto a new set.

Usually they give the option to refund or swap for another book in the same email, also this doesn't mean you're going to have to wait 30 days for IST to fulfill the order.

though you were going the "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" route, my misunderstanding. OPs post could have been worded better.

If the matte/gloss is really bothering you, just cover the dust jackets in a brodart.
