The Letter "F"

I collect both cards & comics. When grading cards - "F" stands for FAIR which is a low grade and usually not acceptable. Now in comic book grading "F" stands for FINE which is a nice solid midgrade and acceptable.
Earlier tonight I'm searching the Ebay comic section and I passed on a very desirable comic at a low BIN, because the seller had F COND. in the header. I'm thinking Fair - not Fine, so I passed.
Several minutes later I realize my mistake and go to buy the comic, but someone else had already hit the BIN.
AAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just wanted to vent.

    its only 3 more letters, why doesnt the sellers write the actual word.
  • They didn't have enough letters left - Ebay limits how many you can use in the header.

    Me : baby , you are a total F !

    Woman : what the hell did you just call me you're a D !

    Me : No No No , that means you're Fine , an F means Fine !

    Woman : You better go back to using the number scale , you D
