Posted By: <b>Martin Neal</b><p>I just won an auction for a psa 3 W.A.Latham for $416.00. I meant to bid $166.00 but added one extra 6 by mistake. Unfortunately, someone else bid $411.00. I guess I will have to love that card about 3 times what I should.

Posted By: <b>Fred C</b><p>What isssue and what grade was the Latham? I guess somebody else really wanted that card also. In any case it kind of stinks to pick up a card that way. Like you said, you better learn to love that card.

Posted By: <b>Turner Engle</b><p>Hi Martin- I was watching that auction. You could maybe offer it to the underbidder?

Posted By: <b>Martin Neal</b><p>It was a Psa 3 T205 W. A. Latham. It was a card I have been trying to pick up. I originally bid $130 or so and had to up my bid at the last second. It happened so fast...

Posted By: <b>Brian</b><p>Offer the seller $50.00 to sell it to the underbidder. He gets the card at his price, and the seller makes an extra $45 or so.

Posted By: <b>Martin Neal</b><p>I will try to make some kind of arrangement. Maybe the seller will give me the underbidders name and I could contact him directly.

Posted By: <b>Eric B</b><p>except that the underbidder may have won the card for $167, or whatever the increment is over $166.

Posted By: <b>Frank Wakefield</b><p>But selling the card to the underbidder for $167 isn't fair to the seller... <br /><br />I think the earlier advise, about being honest with the seller, and getting him to offer it to the underbidder, that is the way to go.
