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 .
