In a practical sense, I only see positives from outing an auction, as long as its adhering to Leon's rules (i.e. don't out your own auctions):
1. The seller got the price that they deserved 2. The buyer got a card they wanted (that they may not have known about) 3. Other bidders didn't get the card, but they also didn't spend $10.6k So, its "wins" all around in my opinion |

I dunno, ask the guy that paid 10.6k if he would have preferred it be outed or not.

Also, it's been mentioned in another thread and seemed to get pretty unanimous support: don't bid more than you're willing to spend. Pretty good rule of thumb. Finally, why is the buyer more important than the seller? Everyone is concentrating on what a great deal COULD have been had on this card. Isn't the seller entitled to getting what the card is worth? Again, assuming the buyer didn't go into debt or something to buy the card, everyone got an equitable deal here. |

This is getting kinda old...but...in this case the buyer did not do his due diligence on selling the card...he did not assign an acc designation to it...did not mention the manufacturer/maker of the card...his description was vague and therefore he did not deserve full value...in my opinion. It is not the buyers job to market and promote someone elses auction.

Geez, you're such a good person, how come you don't go through some ebay auctions, and if they are badly described, scanned, or miscategorized, out them on the main board so the poor seller doesn't get taken advantage of?

Not exactly...this guy knew what he had had significant value...he chose not to take 5-10 minutes to research it...the card says f and m on the bottom...had he googled babe ruth f and m he most likely would have found some info on this card...including recent sales prices.
How much effort would this take? Not much? If one is a go getter...a hard worker...he/she deserves to reap the benefits of his/her hard work...as compared to the lazy one...who in my opinion does not deserve the same! |
