Coincidence? Not sure .....

Not sure how what to make of this, but a card I have wanted for years with a grade and a price I could afford came up yesterday morning. I had some dialogue with the seller, and I purchased the card on eBay. His asking price. I was ecstatic!

The price was $2499, which was a good price for both. The card was a PSA 4.5, and a PSA 5 sold for $3200 last week.

Today, he cancelled the order. Refunded the money, and sent me an eBay message that the card was stolen last night. Said he filed a police report and not to leave negative feedback.

Pretty ticked off/disappointed right now and just wanted to vent ....

Yeah I guess it could be possible. But on the surface, something smells. I would be tempted to neg him but maybe it's not worth it in the end. Sorry to hear this happens.

[Stonepony]

Yeah... that stinks. What are the chances...

My presumption would be that his story is BS but I guess anything is possible.

agreed

FWIW, I cancelled ONE sale before. I was honest and up front with the buyer - I simply could not package the card up and ship it. I had big time sellers remorse. I expected a harsh reply (deserving) but he understood. I would have understood if he said the same, and possibly if some overpriced "seller" from collectors focus emailed him and said I'll pay more.

Sucks big time. Highly suspicious but I'd move on. I wouldn't ding him unless he had a number of other fishy/similar comments.

Tell him you'll refrain from leaving a negative if he sends you a copy of the police report.

My thoughts exactly
