Red"The card was sold on ebay a few weeks ago for about half the current "buy it now" price -- and I make a best offer for about the price that this very card sold for a few weeks ago. "
You offered the buyer of the card about what he just paid for it? Out of curiosity how much money were you allowing him to make. Was it enough to cover the postage he also had to pay when buying the card and the Ebay and PayPal fees he must now pay when selling the card? If the card just sold a few weeks ago you could have won the card at that time with just one more bid, thereby cutting him out of the loop completely. It's also possible that if you placed that next bid he still would have won it at one bid or even multiple bids higher. Maybe he was prepared to pay 50% higher than he ended up paying, so why would he want to sell it now for less than what he was prepared to pay.
