Yes..I'm not doubting you. One can still feel empathy.

Yes, and I feel badly for the victim here, not the perpetrator. What's the downside to doing the right thing, being temporarily without a 51 Mantle? I've been looking for months for the right one and I'm fine.

There's an old lawyers joke somewhere in here:

Sir, there's a Sue waiting for you in your office.

Great Peter. Now both guys know they do not have the right one, and if it does come along, there you are

I feel badly for him as well...maybe next time he won't sell his card until he has the replacement in hand. Like I said, BOTH people can learn something from this transaction.

Would implementing a fee for using the BST board eliminate these problems ?

That has been suggested before and won't happen on this watch.

From afar I see both sides. But in the end I think a card is yours until it's not yours and even though it might rub people the wrong way, keeping your card is your right. I think it'll make people less willing to do business with you, but I also don't see any real harm done if funds are returned.

The secondary sales seems independent of the transaction between buyer and seller, though I understand they add to the frustration.

My experiences on BST have been overwhelmingly positive, but I have had three bad ones…two moderately bad in a piss you off kind of way, the other probably a seven on a scale of 1 to 10.

Since you sold the card to a friend, can't you just explain what happened and buy it back? Seems reasonable to me. You are then at least no worse off for the experience.
