So.... did the card actually get sold for $250? Kind of doubt it.

It looks like the card is up for sale again for $1500 (same seller). I suppose that's got a 1 in front along with another $250. What happened to $1250?

Looking at other 1933 Goudey Foxx cards with a "5" grade, the final price range has been from about $550+ up to over a grand.

I guess you could look at the $250 BIN and determine it was most likely an error based on the seller and the volume of nice card listings they have.

If you were to have purchased it with the BIN price of $250, I suppose you could look at it like one heck of a bargain, but in the back of my mind I'd believe it was an error would just accept the excuse that it was listed in error.
I wouldn't like it, but I'd just accept it for what it is. I probably wouldn't neg the seller but would ask for a little latitude or $100 credit on a large purchase (lets say over $400) just to take some of the sting away. Or just be a generally good person and just say phuc-it.

Now, if they shipped the card to me and then asked for it back a week or two later, then things might be a little different.

Also, if this was a card that was not a BIN and it was listed in error and went the full distance, then I'd have to figure the price would have been much greater than the $250 starting price because there are a lot of savvy buyers out there and things like this just don't get past everyone and certainly not for a huge discount.
