Then, Tony should have waited for an e-mail reply from each pursurer of the card. The buyer who indicated that he would rather see the card go to his rival than to see the card cut in half would then be identified as the one true owner of the card (spiritually and metaphysically speaking, of course). Tony should have then sold the card to that individual.
That's the formal sales policy that I apply in such situations on my site anyway...

Good stuff right there. I have seen the error in my thinking. Another person brought to my attention that its no different than being at a show in front of a dealer's case while the dealer and another customer are negotiating on a card. I simply have to wait my turn, and that was clearly the case here. My frustration at my inability to aquire the card when I had "cash in hand" got the best of my emotions, and I was wrong to rant the way I did. Sorry to Tony, and the fellow forum members here who had to witness my petty, childish behavior.
