What I can't figure out is why in blazes someone would sell a card they do not yet have in hand, especially if it is because they haven't bought the card yet. If that really is what happened, then this whole episode could have been avoided if Dan had waited a couple of days. I'm concerned about what asphaltman posted because I'm worried that he is accurate. I understand that the BST is caveat emptor, but still, a deal is a deal, and it should have been honored. I've thought of Net54 as being the one place online (probably in person, too) where I don't have to worry about being fleeced. I've always considered the Net54 members the most knowledgeable and ethical group of collectors out there today. Maybe I'm naive, and need to reassess that, but I hope not. As to the seller's contention that he "understands" what the OP is feeling; no, you don't. If you did, you wouldn't have yanked the rug out from under him, because on a $3275 transaction, that's a really lousy thing to do. Especially when the OP has done everything he was supposed to do.
