You took your time answering and I don't blame the first guy.
I would probably do the same thing. As for the second guy, if he backed out you should PM me his user id and he might get an infraction or at minimum some questioning as to what his issues are....There shouldn't be too much flakiness in the BST area....LL

Within days of my listing I received somewhere between 5-10 offers on the card. They ranged from $200 on the low end to close to $900 on the high end. After a couple days I sent notice to the high bidder accepting his offer and asking how he intended to complete payment. His response was something to the effect of “My offer has expired”. I told him that I wasn’t aware that he had given me an expiration date. He came back to say that "he did not want me to use his offer against him”. I’m not sure how that would work since I never asked him to raise or change his original offer. Unfortunately I turned down a couple other solid offers based on this guy’s offer.
So I circle back to the next remaining best offer. Guy 2 goes through the motions of what are my payment options (even though I clearly stated that in my listing), asks for new conditions i.e. “Will you give my money back if it does not grade at least Auth?”…I agreed, and then even more “I’m busy with work” delays in sending payment. The next pm I get says, “I’m still deciding if I want to buy the card”. Shouldn’t that decision have be made before making me an offer? Maybe it’s just me.
Anyway, it’s been interesting and has left me wondering how many flaky buyers are lurking on this site. Have you experienced something similar?
As for the card, I’ve decided to move it over to eBay.
