john/z28jd If Dan really would've paid more for the card why at no point before that in all those years did he even make an offer for it? If he did make an offer then why would the teacher be shocked at an offer half as much as he would be willing to spend.....unless of course Dan never made a decent offer and he too was trying to get the card from him for cheaper than it was worth. His story doesnt add up,sounds like he was willing to supposedly put one over on the teacher too but didnt get his chance to and then afterwards says he would've offered twice as much. I can say I would've offered him $5k if I knew about the card now,doesnt mean its true just because I write it long after it was even possible.If I was really willing to pay a certain amount for a card I really wanted then I would make that offer at some point
So now we know this person knew they had something good and more than one person really wanted it from them,sounds like if they sold it for a lower amount then they could've got they have no one to blame but themselves. Im sure the Bruce's didnt surround him and threaten him to sell the card for vacation money so he easily could've waited till he got back. He's a teacher,Im sure he was smart enough to know to bring enough money with him on vacation beforehand and not go on vacation till he had that money.
