Buyer Confusion on Nancy Drew #15

Remember that you have to be very specific and spell out exactly what you need when you ask a seller a question. You have to tell the seller exactly where to look in words that he or she can understand. Here is an example:

NANCY DREW MYSTERY 1930 THE MYSTERY AT LILAC INN EXCELL Item #180286889981

Question: Hi. Could you please tell me the last nancy drew title on the inside jacket and on the internal list in the book itself? Also, if you could please describe the other authors listed on the jacket and the last titles? Thanks!

Answer: If I am looking at the right place is is THE MYSTERY OF THE IVORY CHARM.....FRONT FLAP THE CIRCLE OF FOOT PRINTS BACK FLAP... NOT TO SURE WHERE ELSE TO LOOK PLEASE TELL ME SO I HELP THANK YOU FOR ASKING

The seller did not quite understand the question, so the buyer did not get all of the desired information. Rather, the buyer should ask what the last title is in the list on the front flap of the dust jacket. Second, the buyer should ask what series is listed on the back flap of the dust jacket and for the last title listed. Third, the buyer should ask what series is listed on the back panel of the dust jacket and for the last title listed. The seller will most likely understand what the buyer means by front flap, back flap, and back panel.

Additionally, the buyer should tell the seller where to look inside the book. By just telling the seller to look "on the internal list in the book itself," the seller might find a list on the copyright page or in the post-text ads. Most likely, the seller will land on the copyright page, and the copyright page list, if present, is never accurate. It is better to ask the seller whether there are any post-text ad pages and then ask for the last title listed.
