Why?

I don't understand. "Return For A Refund" because he didn't like the price he paid for it?




My guess, he saw some of the prices PSA 10's go for on occasion and thought the SGC 10 would translate similarly.

Most likely a gamble that lost, and he probably had no idea what it sold for previously. Plenty of gamblers are driven harder by the idea of the gamble then they are in researching the gamble itself. If not, bookees and casinos would be out of business fast, if people actually did a pro and con analysis of their odds of winning the "gamble".

Ebay obviously allows buyers to make returns for full refunds for "any" reason....if "yogi" had chosen to return these cards, it most likely would have not been because he was unhappy with the price he paid, but because he had something in his life occur that caused a financial hardship after he purchased these cards and he now needed to recoup the money he spent on these cards. So he tried to recoup his money by reselling the cards (at a substantial loss), versus taking advantage of ebay's easy return policy and returning to get a full refund.

Otherwise, it was a very poor attempt on his part to "flip" some cards for a profit because he did very little if any research.

Agreed.

Cardboard Junkie said the he has purchased graded cards before, only to turn around and re-list them because he wasn't happy with the condition. My response to that was that if yogiberrabasketball wasn't happy with the condition of the card he purchased, he could have returned it for a refund.

Nobody said anything about returning it for a refund because he didn't like the price.

...it's like when you are in the drive in line at Starbucks and the person ahead pays for your order. But now you have to play it forward
