Yes, I did bring JC into the conversation, or any other religious leader of your choosing...

Sometimes you have to ask yourself "What would (insert religious leader) do?" when posed with questions of morality. Would be interested to know what religious leader would be in favor of either the Lenox or McKinley buy without contacting the seller for a compromise verdict.

Again, if morality is not a priority in your life that's your choice, but don't try to justify your purchase with moral arguments...

Patrick,

I agree that a person should live his life according to his morals and religious beliefs. My position is that this is not a moral issue. You feel that it is. We are not going to see eye to eye on this one and that is okay.

I don't take a religious angle on this, but I do think it would be wrong to take advantage of someone's ignorance and buy a 5 figure card for $9.99 without at least kicking something back to the seller.

Peter, so do you believe this sale happened because of ignorance or because seller knew the truth and just made a mistake in the manner he listed/sold the item? BTW, it was $24.95 for the card, within the range of other T206s he was selling. If he was ignorant as to what he had (in your opinion), then how do you square it with the poor soul who doesn't know the value of items at a yard sale/ estate sale?

Todd I am talking about the McKinley. I haven't really followed the facts on the T206. The thread is confusing because people seem to go back and forth on which of the two cards they are talking about, and I guess I just did the same thing. Clearly, the McKinley seller had no idea what he or she had.
