In my case it wasn't true at all. He had not ONE, but TWO people willing to pay $900 for the card upon receipt (not sure what happened to the first buyer, but it obviously sold again less than 24 hours later). Meanwhile, I barely crack $700 with a .99 cent auction. Where were these buyers when the card was auctioned off? I will never list a $1,000 card ever again on my own.
