1963 Topps Pete Rose RC $250 OBO

David, I agree with a lot of the points you make as a general rule, but I think it's also important to note that no one on this board offered him anywhere near his asking price.
I don't know how he offered the card in other places, but if he is receiving higher offers elsewhere...
-Doesn't he have an obligation to update his message here?
-Isn't it doing the right thing to let those who have bid $50, $52, $60, $100, $130 or whatever low offers they have sent that he is receiving much higher offers elsewhere so he needs to update his price here?
-If someone here said, "I'll take it at your asking price", then he asked for more... Heck yes... rake him over the coals...

Since nothing like this has happened here, why are people so upset? I say JJ did the right thing and has stayed classy by not turning this into a argumentative forum!

No, I agree.. I even mentioned that the horseplay with all the silly low offers, and faux bidding war, probably played a large role in the decision to raise the price, rather than sell to the first person that met his original FOR SALE minimum..

"-If someone here said, "I'll take it at your asking price", then he asked for more... Heck yes... rake him over the coals... "

The way I see this, is that someone DID offer him more than the $200(I believe he said this himself). Maybe not here, BUT somewhere. Honestly, I think that person may have a legitimate gripe if he doesn't get the card, given the original parameters of the sale(UNLESS, he was simply taking offers on the other sites, without a set SALE PRICE).. Again, I'm not angry, and could honestly not care less, but this mess here is getting into uncharted territory.. The game just keeps changing..

I saw this yesterday at $200, looks like he was offered more twice, according to his post, and raised his price. Just my take.

Not one person on net54 offered me anywhere near my asking price. IF someone offered me 200 I would have taken it immediately. The other forum was listed as open to offers and I then received multiple offers for over 200.

I apologize. I saw the offer, and I wanted to best the offer. If that offended, I am sorry. HOWEVER, raising the price was a NON-classy move. I'm surprised he hasn't made it $300. Would be typical....

OK,
what NOW is the price on this card ?
