Adam, I obviously don't understand this logic either. This sort of behavior is mostly associated with modern card sellers as price surges occur based on a player's performance. I, as most on this board, am a vintage collector and rarely experience seller's remorse as seen in the modern market. It is even more surprising when this type of behavior occurs with a seller having 50k+ feedback and is clearly a full-time seller. I can only wonder why a seller in today's social media driven world would risk the negative publicity of having ZERO auction integrity over $64?
Mike, I would have been less aggravated if I had been shill bid to a near market price, as I would likely NEVER have known. If I had been bid to over a market price, I would not have ever known either, as the shill bid would have exceeded my bid.
Packs, I get that honest inventory mistakes occur with all sellers, large and small. If this situation had involved an inventory mistake and not seller's remorse on an auction listing, I would understand.
