David VarghaI informed the seller both here and by e-mail that he had a nice card, but it wasn't #7 as he, Greg, I and I'm sure others had hoped for. I told him that I paid $200 for a nicer PSA 5 of the same card he was selling earlier this year and that he needed to lower whatever his high reserve price was. It closed at nearly twice what I paid for mine without hitting reserve.

I then advised him that he was foolish not to have taken the high bid and should probably contact the high bidder to arrange a deal. But did he listen to me? Noooooooooo! He relisted it.

It managed to reach $112.50 for the high bid; again without hitting the reserve. I think there's a moral in here somewhere.
