the disparity in % may not have been as great...but the % of disappointed sellers was significant.

"If a tree falls in the forest and noone sees or hears it...did it fall?"

If anyone of us finds a "steal" in a local flea market or antique shop..or even ebay sometimes....and then shows it here...kudos are distributed in grand fashion and noone claims the riot act and wants to contact the seller...but when it happens here...different story.

In this day and age...it is easy to do the research...it's simple as that!

That's true Pete, but I always consider this to be a more friendly type community. When I meet fellow members at card shows, I like to be able to hold my head up high and know that I have always been fair and honest.

Some people tend to look after each other here...eBay is more of an independent selling area, but I guess you can look at it any way that you would please. If he was selling the Titus for $200 I would have no problem with it, but selling it for pennies kind of disturbs me somewhat.

I'm not hating on either side of this situation, but just giving my opinion on the matter. If you think it's bs that he reneged on the sale, so be it...it doesn't hurt my feelings

Hey...i'm just playing devils advocate here...I don't really have a beef either way...it just seems oftentimes there is a double standard.

Additionally I feel that the evergrowing culture of renegging has become so commonplace...that all accountability is being lost. And without this...civility is lost!

Nothing "bliss" ful about this thread!

in the OP's defense, his original posted said something along the lines of "$60 or best offer".

Did he officially accept a person's offer? If he's getting $200+ offers and hasn't accepted one yet, perhaps all is fine. True, usually "or best offer" means something below the asking price, but in this case its higher than the price. Just some food for thought, carry on

The disparity in % was not even in the same ballpark. I responded first and that's why everyone else was disappointed. The prices were very fair but I doubt I could sell them for 8/10 times the purchase price. If anyone wants to offer me 8 to 10k for an SGC 30 Bates and an SGC 20 Evers let me know and I will have them in the mail tomorrow....

I'm of the opinion that when someone agrees to a deal then that is a verbal contract. Having said that, I personally wouldn't have accepted the sellers offer without informing them of the value of their card. It's a tough situation for all. Still, to expect people not to talk to the seller about what the value of their card was is pretty foolish. I understand the forums rules but if someone came on here and sold a legitimate Honus Wagner for $100 do you think everyone would just stay quiet until the deal was done? Wishful thinking.

I and everyone else should know this is an honest mistake. For the people who are a little upset about this deal just think, what if you did this by mistake and lost $400 on a deal then get kicked off? All because of one mistake. Just before you get too upset just think you have no clue about anyone's financial situation. I'm not trying to get into an argument I just know that whoever is upset about this that if it happened to them they would never sell a card for that price.

Default Hello All.....
I would like to say I'm a little saddened by this post.....I feel for both seller and buyer.....I'm not perfect and have made mistakes in the past ......

I feel the seller is a newbie.....he is just getting used to T206.....let's not turn him off from the hobby and T206 because he made a "rookie" mistake.....he even put in his post that he bought it cause the stache.....lets give the guy a break on this one and give him a "pass"....

my apologies to the potential buyer for this post....I can understand your pain.........I know that doesn't help much.....I'm sorry you lost out on the card...



LET us keep fresh collectors entering the hobby some encouragement....

Johnny D does have some great points, and every one else....


But I'm a libra and a softee and say give him a pass on this one....


Seller.....if you ever want advice on T206....pm or email you, I will give you the best advice I can.....

Thanks everyone for listening....
