Raising the prices on cards

[cornhusker]

Kind of makes my stomach turn a bit thinking about a handful of NM '67 & '61 Mantles and Payton RC's that I sold off just before the feeding frenzy started. I had finally talked myself into selling them to free up some cash for a 206 opportunity. Left a couple grand on the table there and then the 206 deal did not pan out anyway. It included hundreds of great cards glued in a book from a Baltimore estate. Some loose cards also. Timing just didn't work out and it "was not in the cards" so to speak. If only I had consulted my crystal ball or heeded my buddies advice that "there's never a good reason to sell a card". To the question in the op -there's never a good reason to screw over a fellow collector either.

This happened to me a few weeks ago for the first time. I was trolling eBay looking for '41 playball cards and a decent raw VG-Ex range common came on for like 12 bucks and I stupidly offered $10 and it was declined and the next thing I know the card was listed at $24.99. It felt like a slap in the face. But I got over it. And I was kind of a cheap bastard anyway for not paying the lousy 12 bucks.
