No threads should be deleted. I'm late to the party and find this rather fascinating...fascinating enough to endure it all at 2:45 A.M on a Saturday night.
I honestly don't think we have gotten to the bottom of this (it's over anyways) and perhaps REA didn't really care for the beligerant behavior of this gent (so he claims) and that's why he insulted him with a $100 from his own wallet, and the guy has the set and doesn't want to return it because of backroom deals? Either way, nobody wins here.
And SMR on a 56 Topps set is what? $43K?
In 2002, I won a lot of high-grade cards from a dealer on eBay and of the 20 cards sold to me, 5 had tape stains on the back. When I called him on this, he was very rude saying that I got a good deal any way (I think he said I got them at half of what he wanted) and told me that the 15 cards should be good enough for me (and even said I was a dealer and would understand this) and I was outraged at his behavior and he offered to do nothing for me. I left him negative feedback and he left me negative feedback and I was pissed for about a week and then life goes on. Will I ever deal with him again? No. But life goes on.
