Simple fact is, if you get something way below the market value, you have to expect that there is a chance you wont get a bells a whistles comic book.
To be honest, I have never hear of trimmed comics and really wouldnt have cared (or probably noticed) if they were.
As long as the issue completed my collection, was complete, readable and not majorly overpriced for the condition, I was fucking well happy.
I've sold comics in very fine to near mint condition, that other sellers have up for £20 or more, and I have priced them at £5 or less.
If you still expect that comic to come with bags n boards n shit, then you are a fucking moron quite frankly.
If I bought it bagged and boarded, thats how they will get it, but if not, then unless it goes for decent money, I am not paying out of my pocket to do so.
And lets face it, if the comic shop sold it without bags and boards, why the fuck should a private seller be obligated to do so?
Comic book nerds seriously fuck me off.
