I purchased from Gehman auctions on the Hibid platform, An antique Bible from the late 1800's. On the photo of the item when it was up for bid had no crack in the hinge of the front cover. When they shipped it whoever packed the bible must have handled it carelessly because when I received it, it was cracked along the hinge of th cover about 5 inches long, obviously effecting the value of the bible. I would not recommend purchasing any item of antiques from these people.
