My guess as to what happened -

Seller lists the card for sale for X dollars or best offer...

Buyer A contacts seller and they agree at $3275 to have a deal.

Seller states paypal payment should be made to such and such address...

Seller receives another email from a Buyer B who probably offers $3,500 for said Mantle.

In the meantime Buyer A's transaction of $3275 goes through.

Seller says "oh $hit....I can make another couple hundred dollars here".

Seller tells Buyer A sorry circumstances are making me change my mind for the time being. I'll reimburse your money.

Seller tells Buyer B "hey you got a deal, but keep your mouth closed and please do not advertise you bought this from me".


Sounds about right. And if this is anything close, it's not worth the crap your name has just been rung through on this thread. You mentioned having other places to sell...of course you do. But how many of those places have this volume of specialized buyers and NO fees associated with said sales? I'd say you've screwed the pooch on this one, seller.

Dave - Thanks for explaining it in easy to understand terms.
Let's take bets on WHEN Leon will lock this thread.

It may be a while based on the Cobb Lenox thread. Leon seems to have mellowed in his old age.

So the moral of the story is, if an agreement is mutually met, honor your portion do not alter in the aftermath...

Well, we've certainly blown past the typical Mastro fraud thread in terms of pontificating and hand-wringing. Lots of real important stuff here, though, keep it going!
