They look like the same card to me. One in Baltimore and the other in Seatlle.
What happened there?

Ummmm...Baltimore sold it to Seattle and Seattle sold it 6 days later for a $15-ish profit?

Closing dates were 29 Jan and Feb 4th? Time to go from Baltimore to Seattle, relist and sell by the 4th? Economy Shipping?
That's Friday, Saturday, Monday , Tuesday and then a new sale.
Don't sound right, but never mind.

The original buyer may have listed it for sale before having it in hand.

Yeah, that,s what I' was talking about. No way Seattle had it in hand when he listed.
Thanks.

Sellers sells card at 10AM on 1-28. Card could have easily shipped out on the 28th or 29th. Buyer gets card lists it with a buy it know and sells on 2-4. I must be missing something.
I'm not sure why this is thread-worthy, but I'll go ahead and give you the rundown of what happened on the day the card sold. Around 1:00 I usually take my dog to the park to play ball. Around 2:00 I'll get my mail. On this particular day I had a lot of cards come in. So I made myself a latte and scanned them in. I had a few cards I wanted to post on ebay, so I did that at the same time. The Willis sold pretty much immediately, which is somewhat surprising, but not unheard of.

Ok, ok...I'll let it go. It is possible, I guess, but the winner of the Baltimore card is not the seller in Seattle.
Not a big deal, just was a little odd to me. Just something I saw and thought I'd throw it out for discussion.
Carry on. :D

My apologies to you, sir. I ran across it looking at closing prices and it struck me odd. That is why it was "thread worthy", to me.
Thank you for explaining what happened, and please, take no offense to my thread. I just couldn't see how it happened. Glad you were on here.

Let's put this thread to bed.
I Pm'ed Luke and apologized and want to do it here as well.
I just didn't see how this happened. But Luke explained, which he had no obligation to. But I'm glad he was a member here.
I do apologize to the entire forum, and specifically to Luke.
I may be stupid sometimes, but never in a mean malicious way. I just didn't understand.
Probably the last thread I start, other than FS.
Thanks.

Well, I tried. :D
Jimmy, you didn't do anything wrong. You asked a question, you got an answer, and you didn't insult anyone in the process.
