and while the card was listed for months, he agreed that this was a very strange occurrence w/ another bid coming in a mere 3 minutes after i hit the buy it now*
that he has never seen anything like that transpire since he has been there.
and that the terminology and most of the process needs to be reexamined and will most likely be changed in the near future.
*and for the record, he did indicate that the card did, indeed, sell to another client for $100 more than what the buy it now was listed for.

considering the other consignment snafu / mexico operation crap....heritage never had this card either. what is to stop these guys from purchasing a high end card from heritage, get it shipped to 'feiters, duplicate the holder/flip, relist the fake w/ the "bin" feature, send whoever the fake card. they'd get to register it no problem and probably would never think twice...counterfeiters simply wait a lil while and then sell off the real card...
basically selling or even listing an item that isn't in your possession simply leaves too much on the table to go wrong, imo.
if heritage is reading and i think they are, i would reexamine this process as well...

So the prices on their website are "not monitored." No obligation to honor a BIN. Really? So if the BIN, which is evidently not an offer to actually sell a card for the price listed, doesn't meet some predeterimined other number that no one knows about, the card doesn't sell. WTF is that? I guess transparency isn't much of an issue. I'm out.
