WW54ersD?
Here's a quizzer for you: you see a card on ebay which you have been searching for years to complete a pre-war set. There are no bids on the card yet and you contact the seller and ask him if he would be willing to sell the card outright. Ebay permits this. He emails you that he would and gives you a stiff price if you want to buy it. You realize it is probably close to "book" (the card is raw by the way) but you have tired of trying to find it. You agree and buy the card which appears vg+ to vgex after the seller ups the price 60% from his original figure he gave you. You still agree. The card is received and sent to SGC which grades it as "authentic." You realize the card is not likely to be available for another 3 years or so.
Ok.

This Net54er would have taken a hike after he raised his original price by 60%.

I voted
I voted to request a return and wait. I have been waiting since I started collecting for a few types, so waiting a few years should be a cake walk. That being said, I know I would probably want the card too, Bob, so I am right there with you, but alas, I think I would wait. Or of course you could request a partial refund, while at the same time giving the seller the opportunity to suggest a remedy too?
oh yeah, I don't like the 60% increase either..

Ups the price after and agreed upon price? Return it.

Send it back IMO

I chose to request a return, if one finally came around there will be another. Please keep us updated on the final outcome, I'd love to find out how the seller handled this situation (unless you choose to keep it, of course). Sincerely, Clayton

Send It Back
I also voted to request a return, but I'm guessing that if we're dealing with someone who would jack the price up by any amount let alone 60% after a deal was struck then the return request would likely have the chances of a snowball in Hell.

For all we know, the seller may have described it "looks authentic, but I can't guarantee it will grade numerically." Since the card was originally listed on eBay, it shouldn't be too hard to link the original listing. Edited to add: I chose the last option. The first and last option are really the same, only worded differently. Looks like the majority of us would just eat it and move on. Last edited by vintagetoppsguy; 09-15-2011 at 08:04 AM.
