I highly disagree with that. It's like a contract. You can't, for the sake of arguing, back out of a sales agreement to sell a house to take a higher offer that comes in. Just because the loan amount doesn't show up for about 60 days after the agreement, doesn't mean that you can take a higher cash offer in the mean time. Any offers that trickle in afterwords, higher or lower, cannot be accepted. (I'm not a realtor, but that my best analogy for this.)

I know 'money talks' but when it comes to this forum (and others like it) I just assumed that it was in good character to oblige to agreements made. If you were afraid of non-payment, you should have made it clear that you were keeping the card for sale until cash was in hand.

While you have agreed that you made a mistake, an honest one at that, I find it baffling that you wouldn't try to correctly fix it. I would make all efforts in the future to let it be known that no sale is final until money is in your hand.

I say this all as a buyer who would be very frustrated if I found myself in this situation.

I see it differently. He has two options. Either way, you PO a customer.

Option 1 - PO a forum member and apologize
Option 2 - PO an eBay member, apologize, but still receive negative feedback

I think he chose the right option, but that's just me. Obviously there is no right or wrong answer - you end up with a PO customer either way. Again, unfortunate, but to keep analyzig it over and over doesn't do any good. It's already happened.

Robert,

How about posting the item number of the sold Koufax? I have received a couple of PMs doubting that you sold one last night and I think you would want to set the record straight.

NP....I have no idea why members would doubt what I say is the truth. Why would I NOT want to sell a card?? I am in the business of selling cards!

LINK TO THE AUCTION

I think that's 3:38 AM EST (correct me if I'm wrong), but it looks like Bobby is telling the truth.

I think no one is to blame, it's just unfortunate. If I agree to a sale on the BST forum, I'm not taking down my listing that minute (especially with this board's reputation of reneging). I mean what can you do? The guy bought the card at 3:30 in the morning the night after to agreeing to a sale.

Not only this, but at $65 minus the $6.50 in fees and $2+ in shipping, Bobby did lose money. I think that if the email was worded a little different (as in, Sorry dude, I screwed up and sold this on ebay also. I forgot to take it down. Here is the link & I hope you understand.) Craig seems like a reasonable guy & I don't want to speak for him, but it seems like he would have understood. I think how it played out did seem shady. I've bought/sold with Bobby before so I know he's a good guy also.

That sounds like he didn't lose any money. The forum price was $58 and the price for the card on Ebay minus the fees mentioned was $58.50.
