Wow…I don’t believe I have ever seen a BST thread with so many posts.
This is an interesting discussion, with quite a few valid points made on both sides of the debate.

If I were the seller, I would honor the original sale price and move on. But that’s just me. There are many things in life (and, daresay, the hobby) more important than a few hundred bucks.

I understand how suboptimal it is to miss out on a profit-maximizing opportunity; however, we’re not talking about a truly significant amount of money here. In no way, shape, or form is this similar to a little old lady selling a T206 Wagner for $100. This transaction would not disrupt anyone’s retirement income.

And what I have said above doesn’t address the value of one’s reputation…which, in my humble opinion, is worth far more than the OP could ever hope to gain from this one transaction.

As for the (relative) lack of sales experience the OP has and the helpful nature of this online community, I simply say this. If the OP reached out to board members before traipsing into the BST, things would have been decidedly different…but he didn’t. I am willing to give him a pass…this one time. We all start at the beginning, and should learn along the way. I truly hope he does…and hope that he stays on the board.

Just my two cents…I’m sure there are those who disagree and I welcome their comments.

Best regards,

Eric
