Looking for opinions on something. . . (Sat Oct 5 18:51:12 2002 )

I'd like to hear people's opinions on the 
following situation:

You buy a cel online and find that the cel was 
displayed misaligned, with no notation of that. 
When you get the cel, you find that said cel is 
three layers and the top two (the second layer of 
which is a mouth-only layer) are stuck. The cel 
can be put back into the position it was in on 
the site, but not without a stray mouth floating 
in midair. A stray mouth that does *not* appear 
on the seller's scan. (Anywhere. Not even aligned 
where it should be.)

I've received cels and found they were displayed 
on a seller's site misaligned without noting that 
fact -- which I don't agree with -- but in the 
past, they were always *unstuck*. I could align 
it however I pleased for my own viewing purpose, 
so it really didn't matter too much. But as I 
look at the seller's scan, I'm increasingly 
convinced the cel was not only intentionally 
misaligned, but that the scan was "cleaned up" to 
remove the floating mouth. If the mouth were on 
the seller's scan correctly aligned, I would 
merely assume the layers had become stuck in 
transit. . . But it's complete absence is making 
me suspicious of a bit of "false advertising".

I have not brought this to the attention of the 
person who sold me the cel. . . I wanted to hear 
what everyone else thought first. . . I will say 
this 100% IS NOT a situation I would expect from 
this seller.

Many Sharp Smiles,
--Drac
