I can't believe this argument is still going on. If you expect a seller to let a card go for 10, 20, or even 50% of what it's worth and what he meant to list it for just because he made a mistake when listing or marking the card, then you are the one who has no integrity or honor.

Insult me eh....

You can take your opinion and stick it. If you offer an item at a price and I accept, that's a deal and not sticking with it is dishonest.

That seems a rather rude and confrontational response for a Canadian, but you can stick your opinion as well. I have no respect for someone who would try to stick it to a seller over an obvious error on an online price.

Maybe the seller needs better, or qualified help, or people who understand the product? Back in the old days, you had to ask for help or wait for the big guy to come back before you quoted a price or made a deal. All that is now lost. Also, I remember staying up nights learning the different years and types of cards so I wouldn't look like (more of) an idiot when someone asked me for 52 topps. How things change

Baffling stupidity as well as a total lack of any sense of personal responsibility.

I'm not Canadian.

Maybe IF you graduate Jr high and some how make it through high school you will have learned something.

I have never went back on a deal or canceled a sale. But I have learned it's wrong to take advantage of someone because of a simple mistake. If you think that's stupid so be it. I find your point of view as baffling as it appears you find mine.

To all those who are worried about Probstein being taken advantage of due to an honest mistake, please rest assured that he's taken advantage of all of you through no mistake of your own.

I'm not worried about probstein as much as say a non professional seller who's moving a card to cover an unexpected expense or to make ends meet. But my feeling on this issue would be the same regardless. Now if someone posted a card for a price they later learned was too low, or canceled a sale because they received a higher offer that's completely different and would show a lack of integrity in my opinion.

I think this sums it up pretty well. Making mistakes and owning them builds character. Making mistakes and blaming someone else builds corruption.
