So... what is the proper cooling off period

[Runscott]

I'm not understanding the responses on length of the 'cooling off period'.

Members here regularly post links to ebay auctions that just ended. Am I not understanding the question?

The idea is that if you out an auction that has just ended under market value, unscrupulous buyers may contact an unscrupulous seller and collude to cancel the sale. By waiting 10 days to out the auction, the seller will have shipped the card and can't try to sell it for a better offer.

I understand the reasons, I just don't understand Net54 members responding as such, given that we regularly post ebay links as soon as an auction ends;i.e-we are posting theory, not action.

How the hell did this happen?

If I sound angry, it's only because I'm mad at myself.

Apparently, it didn't. The same seller has the card up again, with a BIN of $4,750.

I guarantee you it didn't actually happen. I bought a few others at similar prices only to have the sales canceled and my money refunded on the same day.

I just looked and you guys are right. Looks like a lot of the cards sold are now back up for sale.

It was a crazy mistake by a very reputable dealer. I too, noticed that they got relisted. When I first saw them I was so mad because I missed out, but I figured they were going to pop up again and sure enough they did. Deals like that never seem to happen!

Joe is an honest guy and a good dealer. Mistakes happen and I wouldn't honor an obvious big mistake either. I wouldn't mind getting that card posted for a hundred dollars though.

If I have no skin in the game, I don't bother worrying about when to post about an interesting item. I thought it was a winner asking how long to wait until posting about a lucky snag. I always wait until I see the tracking showing actual deposit in the mail. Once that happens I feel safe to divulge a big win publicly.

Not that anyone would bother interfering with the crap I collect...
