He may not have mentioned it in his first 3 posts, but his obvious intention is to sell the card. As Ryan pointed out, he his only options on what he was doing with the card was resale. He has never once said he had any intention of having the card reside in his collection.
I'm all for cutting people slack, but when it's something so blantant as this, you don't get any slack. Besides, when Zach started calling him out on it, he just kept dodging the question. If he really was making the post to show off a new card in his collection he would immediately responded with something to effect that even though I want to keep the card, I have been overwhelmed with incredible offers that are making me rethink my position. He made it quite clear his itention from the get-go was to sell the card where you could find it on eBay if he didn't make a private sale.
Most of us long time posters to the board have a pretty good feel for legit "check out what I just got" or "what do you think about this card" and similar posts with the alterior motive to sell a card or hype a personal card in a major auction.
As the old saying goes, if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it's probably a duck.
