BobI remember about 5 years ago I contacted a seller on ebay about a card I needed to complete a 1910 Series of 150 Obak set and completed a transaction and a couple of "anonymous" guys on the board lost their minds and threatened the seller that they would report him to ebay and have him banned for all eternity. I had already sent the money by Paypal. Due to the interference, the card was relisted, I got sniped and ended up buying it a year later in one of Barry's auctions when the seller flipped it. Happened a couple of years ago on Baltimore News E94 also.
Almost all of the people on this board are outstanding and great, but there are a few asshats.
The point of all of this is that I came out and revealed it was I who bought the Baltimore News card (the same thing happened, the seller was threatened, the card was relisted, I was outsniped yadda yadda yadda). This was the last time I did this. Until then no one was ever revealing who they were when they bought a card in a private deal on ebay. Now almost everyone has no problem with it.
