Of course Crikes but it is remarkably tedious for both seller and buyer.  The whole system works well when everyone is up front and precise about the condition of the item. 


If it is tedious to pursue some amazing bargains or not so fantastic buyers... then only buy from the sellers that provide the type of information you require in their listings.

 

Personally I find the best bargains are from the one time listers, that might have a listing consisting of 5 - 10 words tops .... and as politely as I can seek clarificaton on all kind of facts about an item. Well worth the investment of time - saved me from disappointment and scored me some brilliant stuff, woo hoo !!
