Where did I say giveaway prices?

To further this point, I once accidentally left a "9" out of the price of a card. It wasn't a very valuable card; $49.99 BIN. I mis-listed it at $4.99. Literally less than a minute later, it was bought by someone who clearly spends all day pressing the F5 key for such bargains. I just cancelled the sale due to my honest mistake. I'm not too concerned if anyone disagrees with what I did, because the mistake was truly that. The buyer sent me a paragraphs-long diatribe about his feelings, and how he's picked up so many rare signed cards at bargain basement prices, ending it with, "...if you truly did make a mistake and don't wish to sell me the card, that's between you and the Lord". Please don't bring religion into an error over a paltry card. To prove my point, I sent him a link to my previous attempt at listing the card...for $49.99. I'm pretty certain God has more important matters to deal with.
