Joe; it may also depend
On if the seller feels that he/she has any "skin" in the game so to speak. I know from my old dealing days; that if I got a desirable card in a "deal" and the rest of the deal paid for itself and I was left with that card (or 2); then I really didn't care if and when I sold said card.
Many of the dealers I knew in the 1970's and 80's lived by that mantra. If you could buy a deal for $200 in your store; take out the two Mantle cards; and still flip the deal for $200 then you were into those Mantles at no cost.
And once you had no cost into the Mantles; you did not care if and when you sold those cards.
Joe; believe it or not; not every one lives on the quick flip principle
