I just read this post and I am really surprised at the posts .
I normally post on the autograph site but this caught my eye so I opened it to check it out .
The George Brett card in question came from my collection . I am slowly selling many of my graded single cards as well as other ungraded cards .
My son has been selling cards for awhile and I asked him to handle the transactions for me at a commission percent . I would give him the cards with descriptions and prices and he would post them. The Brett card in question was given to my son to sell for $1500.00 BUT he misread the price and posted it at $500.00 and it sold immediately before I could proofread his postings to check for accuracy and proper pricing. When I noticed the error I wanted to cancel the sale for the gross error in the price but my son and I decided to live with our error and let the card go for the $500.00 in order to prevent a potentially bad situation from eBay and the buyer .
I am sure if we had canceled the sale for the pricing error he would have been mad too and notified eBay ...so you see we were in a lose - lose situation .
I have the auction house paperwork still for the purchase of this card.
But now some sanctimonious collector who got a great deal on a card due to our pricing error has the nerve to question if it was stolen. If he was so worried why did he buy it in the first place ?
Believe me I will gladly refund this guy's money if he wants and relist the card for my original price of $1500.00, however I do not think the buyer has the balls to do that.
Next time do not condemn or question the seller because sometimes crap happens and you get a great deal or you lose money , as in this case .It happens to all of us at one time or another .

Sir it wasn't the buyer who questioned anything.

It was an individual who wasn't involved in the sale and in their view they were helping the card collecting community by making a public service announcement.

Mistakes happen and that was the point of mine and others. If you should be upset direct your anger at the OP.

That sucks...I would have cancelled the transaction myself and worried about a negative after that. You didn't deserve to take a $1000 hit because of an error in the listing price.

The money was important for sure but I was also trying to teach my son a lesson in accuracy, fact checking and living with your mistakes and the consequences of your actions and if you make e deal you have to live with it no matter how it turns out ( good or bad).

$1,500 hit.

There should be no anger at me. I did nothing wrong. The card had all the red flags of a stolen card. Card for pennies on the dollar from a seller who doesn't normally sell baseball cards. Checks on both accounts. I am glad the card wasn't stolen. Now the buyer can live happy knowing he got a steal (well....errr...bad choice of words :-p). Case closed.

And to the seller. I am sorry you got hosed on an obvious pricing error. The card was worth $2,000, not $1,500. At $1,500 it would have gotten snapped up immediately as well, although not as fast as $500. In the future, I recommend a website called Vintage Card Prices. They are great for instances like this, and they do have a 24 hour membership.

I agree with you and for that I apologize . I just hate that everytime something is against the norm whether in cards or autographs it is either stolen, fake , altered or forged. This is what our hobby has come to .
Mistakes do not seem to be tolerated as much as before .
