One of my favorite hobby moments was back a bunch of years when I joined forces with another (asshat and a half) collector on a near set of D359's. I backed off bidding allowing other person to win, as we had a verbal agreement to split up the lot, as niether needed all the cards.
The lot went for a few grand less than what either of us was willing to top out at...I was thrilled.
Next day the other guy turns around and says he needs to double the price/cost of the cards I thought were coming my way. He said he had realized what a great deal he was getting andf went ahead and bid aggressively on a few other lots and won them, so now he needed me to help him cover those costs.
I almost got in my truck and drove down to Poughkeepsie to pound him flat.
....your results may differ.
