Does it bother you when a seller doesn't put OC in the title?

    That one has to be an oversight by the seller. He has it priced as an 8 and with 42,000+ feedback and nearly 2,000 cards up now I am gonna give the benefit of the doubt to the seller on this one. But as long as they explain in the description I am fine. It is a selling tactic that sucks, but always, BUYER BEWARE.

    It is dishonest to say the least. I'd give the seller a pass if this was his first sale, but with 42K FB, he knew damn well what he was doing. image

    It would only irratate me if there was no picture of the front of the card showing the O/C. I am fully capable of seeing the label.

    presumably, they were working too hard on those hot-colored graphics and misspelled catch phrases to notice.

    As long as it is made clear elsewhere that this is a card with an OC qualifier I don't think the practice crosses the line into "dishonest"..... but yes, it bugs me. It bugs me because the seller just wasted five seconds of my day by causing me to click on an auction that I NEVER would have clicked on otherwise. All those five-second stretches add up.

    It probably bothers Bobby at VCP the most, having to manually correct sales data if and when the error is ever discovered.

    While dishonest, I dont mind it as much as a title like

    Yes, it's poor form, imo, and unnecessarily deceptive.

    Can't stand it at all.

    psa 8 oc for example.....when they say psa 8 and only 8 higher

    higher than a psa 6 ????????

    or when they price like a straight grade.

    dishonest at the very least. I say take them out back and shoot em all.

    What is the "Though Find" down in the description for? Maybe it means "buy this perfect PSA 8, "though find" out there is a qualifier once in hand?image

    Probably "tough find".

    Yes- I don't like it at all. I also don't like it when they do put the qualifier in but put 8(oc) "low pop"!!

    Sellers who use a question mark to make the listing valid. PSA 10? HOF? They never use it after the word "centered" though.

    "It bugs me because the seller just wasted five seconds of my day by causing me to click on an auction that I NEVER would have clicked on otherwise. All those five-second stretches add up. "

    +1 And I make it even worse but taking another minute out of my life to send the seller a friendly message telling him/her the title doesn't include the qualifier.
