As for the BST I would PM the seller if that was correct price... Can't say though that I have ever seen that on the BST though!

I live in CT and the retail laws are very tough. I know that if something rings in at a higher price at Stop N Shop they give it to you for free (maybe up to 5 of the same item).
In terms of the pricing error I agree that integrity goes both ways. If its obvious (like in this case) that there was a pricing error, maybe the auction can be cancelled and the seller (not the consigner) can give the buyer a $100 credit towards another auction. This way the buyer gets something, the consigner gets what he paid for (reselling the card for $1250), and the seller really only misses out on the commission on that particular card.
