I got screwed over on the BST today!

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.

I don't see what's wrong here...it is the the BST afterall.

Buy
Sell
Take-Back

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

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

Forget about getting lawyers involved, just send Papelbon.

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.

That analysis would apply equally if Dan had reneged because he found someone willing to pay more. Would you bless that too?

I agree with this statement, but disagree with how you are applying it to this situation.

Once fully paid for, the OP was the owner of the card. The seller may have still had possession of the card, but ownership had changed hands.

So yes, a card is yours until its not, but I think in this case.....it was not the seller's card anymore.

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.

Perhaps Eric unlike Dan is a man who keeps his word and doesn't want to do that.
