Hi All
Not so much of a valuation but a question about buying on FB for those who do?
I've very recently joined FB groups:
Echo
Graded figures and variants
(I've tried to join this groups FB page also but not sure if I've clicked on the right bit as not heard back).
Ive asked to buy a vinyl cape Jawa grade straight 90s by UKG. I'm now in private messages chat with the seller. I've ask when it was graded as the number doesn't check out on UKG website. The seller doesn't know (or not saying) as he bought it already graded.... he did say who he bought it off but I don't know the person from Adam.
I've requested that I get it regraded on 7 day turnaround at my expense (not worried about score just to check everything is legit). If legit I'm happy to buy.
The buyer is questioning me (don't blame him), as I have a minimal FB profile and no buying/selling history on the site.
I'm struggling to provide him with 'references' as my online presence is pretty low key, as you can tell by my sporadic posts here.
I'm happy to buy but feel I need reassurance that things are legit. At the moment not sure the seller will take my money anyway.
Any advice on FB dealings and ways to proceed to protect myself (and not annoy the seller too much.... although if I was selling a vcj I'd go out of my way to prove authenticity).
Thanks and please move this to the correct section as I wasn't sure where to post it!
