I wasinterested in a used Scott album currently on
ebay. One picture showed a couple of black mounts on a page so I asked the seller;
'One picture shows a couple of black mounts on one of the pages. Are there many of these? I prefer to avoid black mounts, thanks'
His reply:
Where do you see the mounts? if those are the lines that you see on a green cover of the book than those are the shadows of the light when the pictures were taken.
My reply:
Second picture from the left on your listing shows them pretty clearly, two on the page- they don't look like shadows. A few is no big deal, I am just trying to avoid purchasing an alum with a bunch of them I will need to remove, thanks.
His:
feel free to ask questions
Me:
I did ask a question, and you appear to have not answered it. Are there a lot of black mounts on these album pages? I don't expect you to go through all the pages but can't you give me a better idea of whether there are mounts on the pages? Thanks.
Him:
It's a for the stamps to be put inside. just back splash of it is black and on top it's clear. So when you take a picture it looks like black rectangle.
I wasn't going to ID the seller but since this is sort of meaningless without seeing the listing here it is:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/19139192604...RK:MEBIDX:ITI still have utterly no idea if this album is full of black mounts and this seller seems to be trying to keep me from finding out. if it is I have to wonder why he just doesn't say so? Someone else might find this to their taste. This is one of the more interesting exchanges I have ever had with a seller- very frustrating!
