Which is the same thing as saying Money is what matters.

Putting it up for auction is telling the OP that the seller wants to maximize his number. "I'm not interested in selling to you directly because I'm betting someone else will pay more."

Maybe the seller didn't feel comfortable telling the OP, essentially, "Sure, I'll sell it to you, as long as you pay more than everyone else who is interested in it."

I think most comments here agree the seller had a perfect right to put the card up for auction, and the difference of opinion is how he should've handled it with the OP - should he have told him about the auction. All I'm saying is that, yes, in a perfect world where business dealings are handled in a purely rational and unemotional way, the seller should've told the OP about the auction.

But I can easily see how the seller may have been concerned about the OP's reaction. Sometimes the people who are dismayed that "money is all that matters" are prospective buyers who think people should sell to friends at below market because money shouldn't be all that matters.
