Is the price clipped, any writing, is the spine undamaged? What doesn't he understand about "near mint"? Do sellers actually use the word mint even though it clearly isn't?
Indeed they do - though often you can see; a chap recently had lots of early Whizzer and Chipses up described as mint but they looked terrible with rusted, rotting staples. Ones I've bought have had puzzles filled in, missing pages, loose pages, dog-eared pages, all sorts, so buyers probably do feel the need to check, despite the descriptions.
Who are you on Ebay? There's a stevezodiac but apparently not you, and quite a few folk selling Dennis annuals.
EDIT: Actually, I think I've found you from the "near mint."
