Here's a good one: I sold a very rare baseball team tintype that had a black player in it - very clear image, nice piece. I paid around $1K for it and started the bids a little bit below that price, thinking it would bring maybe $1,500. The winner got it at the low opener and immediately notified me that it was a forgery and he wanted his money back.

Clearly he was having buyer's remorse due to the cost. I told him that he got a very nice piece for a bargain price, but if he had simply said he had changed his mind, I would have gladly given him a refund, but since he accused me of selling a forgery and was very insulting about it, he could keep it.

I regretted the decision a day or two later, but it made me feel good in the short run. I did get a few more choice emails from him, and each time enjoyed telling him where he could stick his forgery.
