I have not been on the forums for too long so I was wondering if there were unwritten rules? The first to send money?

Thanks.
Someone either got pictures of the card and immediately said, "I'll take it," or told the seller he'd buy it without actually seeing pics...all before you were able to get the requested pictures. That exact scenario happens quite often here. Cards move quickly when the deals are good. So, if your overall question is, "Did the seller do something wrong?," then the answer is a definite no. Like everyone said, an 'I'll take it' ends all other discussions and negotiations.

And welcome to the site! Don't let this speed bump bum you out.
