Funny how sometimes chat board talk finds a way of becoming real life (or something like that). Julie and I were grumbling about the inequities of ebay, that a buyer couldn't retract a bid within the last 24 hours but a seller could whisk an item away at a moment's notice. Well, last night I was about to get a really sharp 64 Topps Stand Up Clemente for a great price when with 90 seconds left, the seller pulls the plug, cancelling bids and ending it because he didn't like the selling price. Ironically I had just sent this same seller a money order for a Koufax and Banks 64T Stand Ups, so I expressed my email opinion to him that although ebay permitted this, I thought it sucked.
Weird...
