I wonder if Oakman will see this comment. No matter. No, Oakman, Dice has proven himself to NOT be a "good man", by his words and by his actions. "Good men" don't silence criticism. "Good men" acknowledge when they've (CENSORED) up. "Good men" don't behave irrationally. Whatever good reputation "DiceX" may have had has been completely tossed in the trash...by HIM...to become a company man. You don't spin books around on ANY surface, for ANY reason, EVER. PERIOD. It SCUFFS the ink, unless you're doing it on a surface like glass or soft plastic, and even then you risk catching an edge or corner on something. Who, besides someone who doesn't know what they're doing, or doesn't care, would treat ANY book this way, much less a book worth $1,000 or more...? It's rank amateur hour. You simply DO NOT handle books like this. I've seen YouTube videos of people roughly handling books, and it makes me cringe...but those people aren't pretending to be professionals, and worse, professional RESTORERS, whose very job it is to IMPROVE a book's condition, not damage it further with careless handling like this. Oakman sounds like Trump trying to defend jr.'s idiocy. I treat books from the quarter bin better that Rickets treated this book. I've seen some of those same videos, and witnessed the same disregard from dealers. It makes me want backhand them, then educate them.

Even if this book belongs to Dice, or if it's a detached or phony cover with newspaper inside for demonstration purposes only, and Dice NEVER, EVER, NOT ONCE IN HIS LIFE treated a customer's or ANY book like this, why would he do it this one time and release it in a video pushing his services only to remove it after removing comments?

Oakman says to say . Logan510 is well beyond idiocy I can't be bothered to even go over there to see what's happening, so keep the commentary rolling

Y'know, this whole thing could have been avoided if he had the book on something that rotated, like a lazy Susan

Susan is not lazy and she does not react well to having a book on her.

I emailed Dice and the new PR guy twice three days apart about this; no response.
